My cats are annoyed.

So, I'm a Crazy Cat Lady (CCLs forever!), and am owned by two Sphynx cats that LOOOOOOOOOVE to cuddle. However, now that mommy no longer has her portable water bed (huge tummy), the cats have decided that Daddy is their favourite person. Half of me is totally amused, half of me is unreasonably hurt by their treachery.

Teeka, my girl kitty will bounce over onto my and begin kneading (a.k.a. making biscuits) on my stomach, then stop ... look down in confusion ... give a few more test-kneads and then stalk off in a huff. My boy Elroy, will get on my lap, get off my lap, get on my lap, get off my lap then sit beside me looking morose.

Luckily Daddy (a.k.a. Bill) still has a bit of "tummy fluff" so they spend a lot of time on him. Much to his annoyance.

You'd think with all the leftover skin and stuff I have, they'd make due with that, but noooooooooooooo ... the little buggers are the only ones who do not appreciate my weight loss.

This is my cross to bear. ;)

I love this post! CCLs forever indeed! I fear this rejection for my beloved Douglas. Margaret hates me anyway, cuddles from her are few (she's daddys girl to the extreem) but me and Dougie, we share a special bond. Will he hate me when I'm boney? haha!

He's lost a few lbs himself so I think he'll understand :)

Oh No! It's not worth it!

HAHA!!! :D

I have my own fickle feline (Kirby, who had his 17th birthday yesterday!) and I understand the hurt of the utter betrayal. Since Andrew has moved in with us (us meaning Kirby and I) he has given up on his hate for men and has become a devoted, loving companion laying at/on Andrew's feet. I wish I could blame it on my less-than-cushy build but alas, it would appear that the one feeding his treat addiction has won him over. My suggestion: become the giver-of-treats. If you can't be fat, they can. LOL

Oh I do give treats. And they love me for the 8 seconds that the treats exist. Then it's a glare and back to dad. I know they'll come back around eventually (especially since Bill gets tired of being used as a human cat bed much more quickly than I do). All I can do is wipe away the tears and keep a stiff upper lip. That or stuff cat nip in all my pockets. ;)
