Bad Annie Stories

I promised a Bad Annie story, so I'll tell you the most persistent. Annie is a silky, longhaired white kitty with blue eyes...and she doesn't hear a thing. When I got her from the SPCA, she as about 3months old, and a tiny white ball of fluff. She was so tiny, that I had to make a ramp for her to be able to get onto my bed. (If I didn't, she'd claw her way up, and I kinda liked my comforter at the time.)

The first night I had Annie, I woke up in the middle of the night to a loud CRASH! I jumped up, thinking Annie had killed herself. Here, she had figured out how to jump from my bed to my dresser, and in so doing, she knocked something ceramic over. The crash didn't bother her, because she couldn't hear it. HOWEVER, this smart little cookie must have thought "Hmmm...if I knock something down, people come running. Good deal!"

That was 8 yrs ago. To this day, when she wants attention, she knocks something over. I have photos of her kicking my telephone off the phone stand. She pulls books out of the bookcase. She used to pull CDs out of the CD stand, until I bought new seemingly Annie-proof cd bookcases last month. (Since she cycles through the objects of her attacks, she may be just lulling me into a false sense of security.) If I leave anything on the table or bathroom counter, and she decides she wants attention, she deep-sixes it onto the floor. (I've lost 2 curling irons that way.)

Spray bottles don't work...she likes water. Running over and removing her from the item doesn't work, because that is the reaction she was going for. "Chase me Mommy!" I've had people not believe me that she does this, until they've sat in my livingroom and watched Annie walk over to the bookcase...meow loudly...look to see if anyone is running over...since nobody moves, she reaches into the bookcase...hooks her cute little toes around the end of a photo album....meows again...then pulls, and out flies the photo album! She then sits there and looks at you expecantly, as if to say, "Well???"

That is my longest-running "Bad Annie" story. She is endless hours of entertainment!

What a funny girl! I guess it would work for her to knock things over, because the noise wouldn't scare her. LOL. It sounds like you spoil her appropriately. ;o)

Your honey kitty sounds like my shelley. She is famous for cleaning out clothes drawers. I have re-washed things over and over. Shelley also loves to sleep on shoes. Donna
