I gotta admit. I’m fascinated with the foot repulsion. Makes me sorta wonder where that comes from. I grew up in the southwest where you had bare feet or sandals for about 4 or 5 months out of the year. Everyone had a pair. Long toes, short toes, hair, callouses, pale, tan, etc. Where on planet earth are you people from that are so freaked out at the sight of naked feet?

That is the cutest little scruffy I’ve ever seen.

@Gail, I’m visualizing this parade as an old-fashioned fashion show (see “Singin’ in the Rain”) with your chicly dressed charges sashaying before you on the can.

@Theresa: When you have 1 dog and 7 kittehs, it’s a parade of who can get Mama’s attention while Mama is held “captive” by the endlessly fascinating (at least to the cats) toilet!

@Katrina: Thank you for your sharing your research on the juvenile Luurkensproinger! Currently, my own juvenile research subject, Helen, is demonstrating heretofore unknown (to myself) vertical sproings with somewhat unsuccessful attempts to grasp and dangle from my legs. Ah, the joys of understanding the juvenile!!

What is needed here is understanding of the Luurkensproing kitten mindset in its juvenile form.

There must be a substitute made for the “toe” and parameters created for the “time” but with patience, the Luurkensrproinger and Luurkensproingee should be able to live happily everafter.

don’t declaw the kitty, DO declaw that man!!

Kids… I have no problem with the man’s toes/toenails. I have a problem with your posting them here. I repeat (per the fish-foot-nibblings post a while back): human feets are NOT cute. Not even with a tiny kitten near them. Please, say no to people feets. eccchhhh….

Oh dear, someone said “nails” to Theo. Now we have to get into the fishtank and sing.

@Gail, it’s a parade when I do laundry. I don’t know what you’d call it in the bathroom. One just seems to think “Aha, she is mobilized, she must pet me,” and the other seems to think “Aha, she is mobilized, I shall go sit in her pants.”
