You know you are kitty whipped when....
- You get out of bed at an insane hour of the morning because the big, white boy demands it. Only to have him lick his food a few times and go right back to bed. When you keep your room a mess with papers everywhere because someone LOVES to sleep on them. You wake up every morning with back pain because somebody hogs the bed. And most importantly....you wouldn't change a thing you do because you love him (Romeo) so much!!!

Kitty-whipped? Absolutely!
- I have willed my $100 thousand life insurance policy to the person (my grand daughter) that will care for my cats when die and I appointed my brother as the executor to make sure they are cared for in the manner they are custom to. My chest and stomach are covered with little scratches from my 4 cats kneading. They burr so loudly while they do it, so they must really like it. Does anyone know why they do that? It hurts a bit, but I don't stop them; I just lay there.

I know I'm kitty-wipped because...
- ...I spend more than $150 month to feed my 4 cats and another $150 a month to feed the strays that hang out around my apartment complex. ...I risk being thrown out of the apartment I've lived in for 35 years just to keep the 4 cats I've now had secretly for 6 years. (My lease says: "NO PETS).

You realize you're kitty-whiped when...
- ...you stop taking vacations because you don't want to leave your cats. My entire life revolves around my 4 cats.

Entire Apartment is a Kitty Condo
- Everything I do is with the cats in mind; any benefit to me is incidental. I installed a storm door with a lock on the outside, so even when I'm not at home during the day, Lola & Lazarus have access to the sunshine and fresh air. Sometimes they're lying right by the door and I have to step over them as I walk in, manipulating grocery bags, etc. Also I have plantation shutters in front of the balcony's sliding glass door, so the cats have safe access there as well. It works out well for all of us, because I'm too cheap to spent money on myself, but will do so happily for L&L, and consider it a bargain. They were adopted from a local shelter in early '96; they're well into their teens now, and we hope to continue enjoying a long and happy life together.

Kitty whipped? You got that right
- I have 2 cats. One could be Garfield's twin and the biggest cowardly lion that exists. My female ragamuffin is ferocious. She'll bite you as much as look at you. Her primary rule of the household is sleeping on my feather pillows on my bed. She won't move and if I get to close to her she is massaging my scalp with her claws. But the cowardly lion, Trouble, always has her back when there might be trouble. Literally, he hides behind her.

You know you're kitty whipped when...
- ...you hold off as long as humanly possibly before getting up to go to the loo because kitty looks so comfy and relaxed curled up in your lap!

you let your kitty take your fav. chair
- I let my kitty take my chair even though it's the most comfortable chair in the house for my back,I want him to stay in but once he got a taste of it he cries for me to let him out aginst my better judgment I let him out,then he wants me to play door servant all day long in and out in and out, I tried a great portion of all the feline wet foods trying to figure out what his new favorite is because it is always changing he definitely doesn't like the Paul Newman organic ones. I even tried it myself to see why. Eating my kitty's food I never thought of it before but yeah I would say I am kitty whipped. Jensen is just so loving and cute how can I say no. I guess I will learn without feeling guilty about the going outside thing for his own good. Then there's the letting sleep on the microwave, kitchen table, wherever he likes. He is well worth it though.

You realize you're kitty-whipped when...
- You don't get up to pee in the middle of the night because your cat is curled up asleep right beside your head, and looks so cute and happy.... and if you move she will wake up.

My Secret Addiction
- So, I lie to people at work about how many I have, cause I don't want them to know how crazy I really am. I don't FEEL crazy tho. I feel very fortunate: every morning when I get up and get mobbed by my kitty-clan with love and affection; when I'm covered in a cat blanket at night when I go to sleep; when I go out in the yard and they all follow me to see what I'm going to do next; when they sit with me while I read or watch tv and when I look at them they squint their eyes at me with happiness and affection. How in this world can anyone think that cats are aloof? Maybe they're ignoring you because you ignore them. They're not dogs but they come to their names and whistle, they play fetch, they play catch, they lay at your feet. And yes, they can be "your highnesses" sometimes. That's ok with me. I'm not a crazy cat person, I'm just crazy about cats.

You realize you're kitty-whipped when...
- you get out an extra ice cube every time you pour a soda into a glass because girly likes to play ice hockey on the kitchen floor....girly stalks you as you finish that soda because she wants to chase your ice cubes down the sink drain, and you hurry to gulp down the last of it so she can!....buddy-boy jumps to the top of the bookcase and bats a catnip mouse down to the floor, and you IMMEDIATELY get up and toss it back up to him because that's his cue that he wants to play catch....you run, crawl, and stoop to retrieve his catnip mouse, toss it back up to him, and all he does is catch it and bat it back down so you can do it again, and you do!.....after a tiring game of catch (for you!) you tip toe through the room later so you don't disturb HIS nap....you stay on the couch late into the night because both girly and buddy boy are curled up against you and they look sooooo sweet and cozy that you don't want to move!

Kitty whipped
- you sit somewhere else when your cat is sitting in your chair. I even brought a foot stool to put beside my chair at the computer so Cosmo could sit beside me. I sit on whatever he has decided not to sit on. When he sits on my chair at the dinner table, I choose another one. When he falls asleep on me, I stay put so I don't disturb him. He is a grey long hair tabby, a wonderful companion, very loving. Greets me at the door every night, and sometimes sleeps under the covers with me. I would do everything in my power to keep him around for as long as possible. I lost his "sister" a tortie, to kidney disease last year - she was 14yrs old.
