I pamper the kitty boys, really spoil them, and what do they do? Dougy, anyway? Never Andy, though, because I named him after the patron saint of Scotland and apostle, St. Andrew and he is a really good kitty boy…? Take a look! You will be scandalized, too!
=(^+^)=
Dougy looks, um, restless to Andy. Is that a hint of “kitty horns” he sees…?
Andy is suspicious. He knows his brother well. If he weren’t such a good kitty boy, he’d bet his brother is about to be naughty, very naughty…!
Dougy gets up. He’s about to get his “bad kitty” on, and it will be…
…naughty, very naughty!!!
Andy is incredulous! Dougy just scratched on the recliner! No “good kitty” treats for him today.
Oh No! Not the recliner! He does know how to get your attention doesn’t he?
And how! The little rascal pulls that stunt (scratching on inappropriate things) every time he wants me to stop typing on the laptop or PC and give him attention. He’s a little angel as soon as I do1!
We had similar problems with cats scratching the couch. I bough a short scratching post and put it next to corner they were scratching. That took care of the problem (for that piece of furniture,anyway).
Ironically, a settee Dougy destroyed was next to a regular cat scratching post. He is a naughty kitty, and always has been when it comes to scratching.
We would be able to try to make a psychologic portrait of Andy and Dougy after the lot of descriptions of their behavior that you did, Doug . . I do not know if something comparable exists elsewhere .

I am fascinated by their behavior. Though I am no Jane Goodall, nor are they chimpanzees, OI sometimes feel I am a naturalist observing and documenting their exotic behavior. I never had cats till I was in my 60’s, and they still fascinate me in the eight years I’ve been a “cat person”! Thanks for your wise comment, Michel!
haha…the sneak attack…Shoko is also good at that attack. Everything is quiet and calm and Shoko jumps on her sister….much screaming from kali ensues and Shoko will not be changed from her mission until I growl at her.

He’s making a statement when he does this sort of thing, too, like, “When are you going to feed me kitty food?” or “I want to play and you sit there on the laptop ignoring me!” or such. When I’m not upsetting him, he uses the many scratch posts stationed around the place. This is to say, when he is naughty, he is being petulant!
“Kitties will be kitties !”
Happily (sometimes unfortunately…) so!
I bet he will still get some treats 🙂
Darn! You know I gave in! Of course, Dougy sees the treats as a right, not a reward for good kitty behavior.
doodz…ree cliner scratchin soundz like fun ! thanx for de ree minder …. 🙂 ♥♥
Oh no! Be good kitties! I know you have scratching posts available because you live with a nice person who thinks about what kitties need to be happy!
aaww come on – his halo is hiding those horns. Snorts and rolls with piggy laughter then swats at a glass on a table with my hoof and knocks it off in honor of Dougy. XOXO – Bacon
You know it, Bacon! (Doug says, “Mrow…!” He thought that was a delightful allusion to what a naughty cat wants to do. He didn’t know pot-bellied piggies knew about that. I told him piggies at delightful, fun critters who are also very clever and intelligent. Of course you knew a cat would chuckle at the thought of the double mess of broken glass and water! Hee! Hee!
Snorts with piggy laughter. It’s the truth. I can be bad at times – oops did I say that out loud? You see mom says I’m her cute little sweet bacon but there are times – shivers thinking about them – when I become deviled ham. No one likes my deviled ham side. No one. Snorts and rolls with piggy laughter. XOXO – Bacon
I have a difficult time imagining you being deviled ham, Bacon, though I know the cute little sweet bacon side is kind of inevitable!
Snorts and oinks – I do have my moments. I can admit that. Just ask my dad – HA! XOXO – Bacon
“Ornery” isn’t necessarily “bad”…!
Do they have very different personalities?
For those trying their luck on the Post 1331 contest to identify the Andy photos, that knowledge is helpful!
How could he scratch the recliner ! Yes, really naughty !
He does that right in front of me, too. What a spoiled brat!
Must be hard not to spoil them.
It’s the eyes…! And that soft fur…! Those whiney meows…! Yeah, it is kind of hard, and probably get back what I deserve because of my own contribution to that naught behavior!
Awww !!
Just saying…!
Ha! Awwww, cut him some slack!
Aww! I always do, and that’s why he’s such spoiled brat, David!
