Dougy is exceptionally needy today. “Play with me! Groom me! Pet me! Feed me, of course, but don’t hold me!” Meow! I’m not certain what he wants, so I’ve gone through the whole list each time he comes over and goes into his little “annoying meow”.
“Annoying meow” is not a typical kitty vocalization. It is a sound that grates on the ears and makes you feel like a slug, a genuine turd for not stopping everything right now and waiting on his Feline Majesty! You can’t ignore “annoying meow”!
This is what Dougy looks like when he does his “annoying meow”.
Oh no! There it is again! What do you want, Dougy? What!? What!? What!?
He looks so sad! Is that a part of the routine? We have what I call “All Kommando all the time” days. No matter what I do, it’s not enough.
“Sad” or “playing sad to get his way”….! Dougy is not denied much. LOL!
I just love the occasional post that makes me laugh just as I take a sip of coffee. Now I have to clean the keyboard….I hope you’re happy.
BTW: my cat has a meow that sounds something like the baa-quack a duck crossed with a sheep might make.
I’ve heard some strange sounds come from my cats and others, but I think your cat must be the only one to make that sound! (It’s be fun to get that on a video, though I know how hard it is to get cats to do cute things when you turn on the camera!)
Nice eyes here, they are not really orange, are they?
Orangey-brown. The photo exaggerates that color a bit.
They’re beautiful! Never seen eyes that color.
Hisa eyes aren’t quite that orange…that’s the “fault” of Photosahop. They actually are an orangey-brown color, however, and I think they are his prettiest feature.
I know that color because my first recued pigeon had it. It’s very nice.
I tried to find a good photo showing the color more accurately, but Dougy typically closes his eyes to avoid the flash if he sees me with a camera. Most photos of the boys are taken in low or artificial light, both of which affect the accuracy of colors.
This is the eye color I meant. I know it’s from a pigeon but to me this is orange:

Ooops, the link loaded, I should’ve put the parenthesis!
Never mind == it’s a very interesting site! No problem! Also, I saw something i agree with: a notice with regards not accepting “awards”, which a re the blogosphere’s equivalent of chain letters.

This video shows Dougy’s eyes clearly and accurately shows the color of his eyes. Now that I’ve seen the pigeon’s eye color, I/’d say the color is very similar to Dougy’s eye color. As noted elsewhere, his brother Andy’s eyes are lighter-colored, more yellowish.
Look at that sweet little face. That is definitely a whiney little boy. Love those eyes and bet you have no defense against those eyes.
He and his brother know how to work me!
Meow! Meeeeow meeeeaaauuuowww. That’s about What Nubia spurns like haha. So I know your feeling 🙂
It’s the meow with the dagger eyes…!
Indeed! Haha
The “Dagger Eyes of Perpetual Woe and Endless Servitude”…! You definitely know the routine. Cats are cats, no matter where they are in the world!
Indeed! 🙂
Bless him!
LOL! He gets everything he wants but to be an outside kitty…!
Same with my two kitties lol! I thought of you the other day after I had a spectacularly bad fall on some cobbled streets. Tried to fall with it hehee 😁
Hope you came away without anything broken or hurt…! I can imagine a fall on a cobbled street because uneven surfaces are murder for me, too!
Sprained ankle & wrist plus epic knee scraps. Ouchy! Could have been worse though. Those pesky cobbles
That’s bad enough, I agree!
Look at that face, who could say no! 😉
No one, I vouch!
That is a cool photo, his eyes look orange.
They are orangey-brown. The photo exaggerates how orange they are a bit, but they are a pretty color. His brother has eyes that are more yellowish.
I know what you mean, but I hear it most during mating season. He can’t aid in procreating, but he sure would like to try.
Since the boys are neutered, I am spared that “joy” at least!
George IS neutered. But he never gives up. He has sneaked out a couple of times, but other than that he has been in the house.
Goodness! Kitty love is a powerful force, eh?!
Either that or he’s just stubborn like the rest of us here. 😀
🙂
What a sad face on Dougy! I remember sitting near a mother and little boy long ago. The child was tired and inconsolable. The little boy was screaming “I want….SOMETHING!!!!”.
Exactly what Dougy’s saying! You’d think he was a seriously deprived kitty from his expression, not a very spoiled one!
You know the difference between dogs and cats. Dogs say: “They feed me, they play with me, they pet me – they must be deities!” Cats say: “They feed me, they play with me, they pet me – I must be a deity!”
LOL! Aren’t they?
You need of a check list to find the behavior that makes Dougy happy with a melodious meow ! 🙂
In friendship

He’s usually very predictable, unlike Andy. Andy comes up from behind me, pats me on the arm, then walks a few steps away. Then he looks back at me, like, “You know what I want!” But I never do!
He looks like a grumpy old man. 🙂
He can be!
Is he in pain?
No, he IS a pain! LOL! It’s an attention-getting meow he always uses when he wants me to stop whatever I’m doing. Usually, it’s that he wants to play. If he wants groomed, he will stretch out on his side and look up at me and meow. If he’s hungry, he walks up to me, stands there and meows once, then walks back toward where I feed the cats.
You’re very well trained, Doug.
The kitties insist on it!
At least he has someone to wait on him
I spoil them a lot…!
That’s why they allow us to live with them!!!
Someone has to empty the litter boxes and open the tuna…!
Ha! Yeah, that, too. 🙂
And clean up hairballs… and vomit!
So true. Too many mornings I find “presents” awaiting me for cleanup!!!
i got to clean one up just before I went to bed last night…
One of my favorite expressions “At loose ends” I think that is Dougy’s mood. 🙂
That could be. I turned on the air conditioning because it had become very warm in the apartment. I think maybe the heat had something to do with it, too. Now that the air’s going, he’s settled down.
Oh, the poor guy was hot and bothered.
🙂
It’s just a guess. You know how it is when it comes to figuring out what our pets want from us!
Well, I get cranky, too, when it is too hot!
Me , too. It was exceptionally warm yesterday for June here, more like July weather.
LOL all too well. 😀
