*Tap, Tap* Is this thing on?


Ear of Cat, originally uploaded by CoriK..
I told Albert 70 billion times to get off of the dining room table. He's still sitting there. Obviously there is something jammed in his ear that prevents him from hearing my high-pitched, manic pleas. I sought proof of a blockage with my macro lens but nothing really stands out. Maybe he's just defective. Where do I return stubborn, hard of hearing kittens for ones that actually listen?

When you find a cat who listens, please let me know where to get one - I'll be first in line to trade in my defective cats! :)

At least he just ignores you. Noodle will smart off to me when I tell her to "get down". I swear she's saying "make me" or worse! Then as I walk towards her, she jumps off and runs, mumbling something the entire time.

She makes me giggle -- as does my boy Albert.

to the hard of hearing pet store owned by hard of hearing men...

Ummmm... wouldn't that be the IBKC returns department? ;-)

Although they may tell you that selective deafness comes as standard equipment and is and not a manufacturing defect!!

I think it's a pre-existing condition that only comes out when adorable kittens grow up... They lure you in with cuteness and then stop listening to you unless they hear the magic word: food!

Give it up. He'll never listen. He's a Cat! Our Mommy gave in and put a bed on the table to "contain" the damage.

Well, that is the problem - you are asking for a kitten who listens - that is called a dog.

Hm - maybe the same place you can return kids who don't listen?

My verification word is "ovinu" - clearly something to do with sheep!

Ummm. I think you need to learn to speak Cat cuz cats don't speak human. Or at least, I think that's what my cats say when I tell them to get off, out or stop!

Can you imagine if I showed up on Laurie's doorstep and told her, "So, yeah, this one doesn't listen too well...can I test drive another." Lol. Good thing I could never trade in my defective Albert. He's way too cute and cuddly...when he's not being a pain in the butt. :)

Cats speak a different language.
"Cheese, turkey and kibble" are universal words. "Get off" has no translation. But a squirt bottle always gets a result. I'm just saying...
