Pagan's not a cuddler type, unfortunately. So even when she's on the bed, she's down near your feet.

Now my deceased cat Ateasa, she was a total cuddler and she was the BEST! I miss her. Don't get me wrong I love Pagan and as she's getting older she's becoming much more friendly and more chatty.

Mizin, our cats look to the front door every time a doorbell sounds on a television in the house! And they go crazy for the sound of a small bell - must be from associating it with a toy, but now with Christmas decorations, jingle bells need to be used with extreme caution.

Bonza...that is hilarious...it's like your cats want to greet the person coming over! lol

My cat is a 'Bag Licker'...I don't know why but she just loves licking plastic bags! I have a couple of friends who's cats do that too. One cat will hang around the fridge waiting for someone to open it and then she'll lick the plastic bags sticking out of the produce drawers! lol

Oops! Sorry, I thought since you mentioned Pogo that you knew!

It's another game at Pogo that has a cute sound to it. The cat rubs her face all over my notebook and makes it difficult for me to play, lol.

PS - I heard or read somewhere that cats like to lick plastic bags because of the oils used to manufacture them...???

Thanks Halfunit...I'll have to check that game out! Your cat does the same thing as mine when I play Sweet Tooth! lol

Very interesting about the oils in bags...I had no idea! Thanks for sharing!

Do you think that same bag oil is in photographic paper??? One of our cats licks photos I print at home (inkjet) .... I keep them totally put away now, but when it first happened, I noticed one of my pics was splotchy and I was like, "WTF"? Then I saw her licking a commercially developed photo someone had sent me - and I was supposed to return that one to the person!

Nothing is out now!

And Mizin, they do want to greeet people at the door! Tonkinese are very dog-like.

Miz, since you asked.. here are three links to the archives with pics of Miss Critter..

HERE

HERE and

HERE

Critter reacts when I SNEEZE!! She makes that little machine-gun noise that she makes when she sees a bird. This happens even if I sneeze when she is sound asleep.. she'll make her "ack ack" sound while sleeping.

Sea, I think I know what sound you are talking about. When Angel sees a bird she does what I call chirping. Too cute!

Thanks Seamonkey...now I remember your Critter! Pagan and Critter could easily be related they look so much alike! Same big googley eyes!

Pagan makes that sound too Bonza & Twinkie when she chatters to the birds!! lol

That's cool Tonkinese cats are similiar to a dog in some ways but are a cat of course, through and through. lol

Landi, we have two Tonks! Littermates - 16 lb. Blue Point boy & 8 lb. Blue Mink girl. See my profile for a classic photo - does Ariel like to lounge in this position? What color is Ariel?

Sea & Mizin - I love that "ack ack" noise that some cats make. Ours don't do it - they have a funny meow when they see birds. I think they would bark if they could!

Bonza, you know there is a lovely Tonk at the cat recue.. his name is Ty.. he's either at the Westminster Petco or at a foster home right now.

They list him incorrectly but he's definitely a Tonk, as landi will attest.

He's beautiful. I wish I could figure out how to load up pics of my precious Alexis and Lucy. I'd love to share them with the cat lovers in here.

Ty is so good looking!!! If I didn't have my Pagan already I would scoop him up in a minute!! I think after Pagan I would like to get a Tonk. They sound like quite the characters.

Kitty looks like it's saying, 'If you don't put me down right now, you're going to get nailed'. At least that would be what Ophelia would be saying with that look on her face.

Well Ariel's not my cat.. she's landi's cat. This wasn't the first picture and she certainly WAS saying "put me DOWN, now!" And, I did.
