My boy cat doesnt lick really, but he likes to rub his nose all over my and my girlfriends face when we are lying down in bed. Very forcefully. If you push him away he will use his paws to move your hand and charge at my face again purring like crazy. When he starts doing this we call it his "date rape" mode, cause he just wont take no for an answer.
God I'd love to have a cat like that.

God I'd love to have a cat like that. I think part of it is that we always kind of treated our cats like dogs. And now he kind of acts like a dog. He will come when called. Answers to his name, and does understand, and even follow a few other commands like "Off", when he is on a counter. Also, back in my old apartment where I had a dinner table (it was removed for a home office), we had 3 of us living, and at dinner time Eddie (boy cat) would come and sit in the 4th chair at the table. He would never do anything, but he always liked to sit with us at dinner. The only probable with having a very physically lovable cat that doesnt understand "no", is some times when trying to sleep it can be a bit annoying to have him stick his nose in my ear while purring loudly. But, he is great. Oh yeah, one other thing. He is constantly trying to pet my girlfriend. He uses his claws like fingers, and he likes to stroke your face or hair, its really weird. Eddie on my Bed. Eddie "loving" my girlfriend.

I think your girlfriend has a confession to make about her relationship with the cat.

Here's my cat, Sebastian. I've had him since he was maybe 5-6 weeks old. He was hiding behind my monitor - he doesn't like the flash much. He's super lovey and likes to snuggle. Which sucks when it's hot and you are trying to sleep.

He has puffy cheeks and a little double chin! He's adorable! (he has eyes, right? )

My cat was the same way. Whenever we would eat dinner as a family she would jump up in a chair and just sit there until we were done, then eat her own food afterwards. She also came when called, though never in a big hurry. I'd go outside and call for her and she stroll around the side of the house a good five minutes later.

Everything you've said, from the minute I met you to now, makes a hell of a lot more sense now.

Just put a picture of a wary Bart in the picture thread. He's all about being wary these days, we had a citronella ant swarm in the kitchen, so he hasn't been allowed in half the house for a week, the half where his water and poops were, so he's had to learn a new routine. Then I moved all the living room furniture around for a winter layout, then we lit a fire in the stove. I was also cooking outside on the grill while getting fire going, every time I'd come back in from the grill he had slinked up to the stove to sniff around, see me and bolt to a hiding spot. Repeat every time I left and entered the room. I was sure he was going to burn his nose, but he crashed and kept an ear on things.

Try clove oil for the ants. You can get it at health food stores or Whole Foods - just use a cotton ball and swab it. Ants and wasps hate cloves (it's high in eugenol, a naturally-derived pesticide).

I made some homemade ant bait for our Argentine sugar ants out of borax and corn syrup. It's about as eco/pet-friendly as ant bait gets, and it seems to have done the trick.

So we were away for the weekend and as ever I didn't get round to unpacking my case and just left it on the bedroom floor. Woke up to find that Sputnik had decided that was a nice, cosy looking place to sleep.... on top of my last clean pair of underpants.
I've never worn fluffy underpants before, and probably never will again.

That's my cat druid, he can't seem to figure out how to get out of cat form. I'm sure he'll figure it out one of these days.

Your cat is telling you it's time to MAN UP and go Commando, soldier.

Has to be cheaper than the closest alternative: petting a stripper!
Companionship and the such are sorely lacking in my life.

Gilly had the runs bad enough last night that we had to lock her in the bathroom so she's only poop on easily cleanable surfaces. She spent the entire night begging to be let out and pooping on everything she could get her butt near. Took her to the vet today, they very kindly gave her a bath (I couldn't give her one before taking her because I was home alone and she is a two person job for bathing). Now she's passed out looking innocent, I don't think she slept at all last night, poor thing. :(

That must have been traumatic for your cat. I know I'd be messed up if I was locked in a room with the runs and was told to shit it out.

Did they figure out what was wrong? Little kitties have so little mass to spare you have to worry.

Tests come back tomorrow-ish. Mainly we're hoping it isn't FIP (not likely, but you never know, and we don't really know much of her history before we got her.)

Not to worry you, but one time my mom took in some kittens from a pound because they were going to euthanize them. Couple days in they started getting the runs really bad, almost uncontrollable. Within a couple days all but 1 of the 8 kittens was dead.

When our cat died about four years back, I discovered how much her dander had been affecting me, as some allergenic asthma I'd been having worsen slowly over the years improved quite strikingly. But I do sort of miss having her around, we had her for 15 years.
I nearly killed her myself though when I came back from having done my dissertation research abroad after about eight months, when she'd been living stateside with my wife. I still don't know what vague impulse made me take all my precious notes and tape-recorded interviews out of my bag and put them up high on a shelf, but it's a damn good thing I did, because we went out to dinner and when we came back, the cat had filled the entire bag with more urine than she normally did in three or four days. If that had been on my notes and tapes, I really would have gutted her slowly with a rusty knife.
