Cats rename household objects

[radfringe]

Next to our computer is a scanner - one of the favorite places for our cats to hang out.

Of course we now refer to the scanner as the CAT-SCAN

another favorite place for the cats is to snuggle down under and wrap themselves around a large lamp when it's turned on. This is now known as the Feline Tanning booth

:D

Where do your cats hang out and have you renamed these places?

1. in the spotlight

our cat lounges under a spotlight in the foyer...
we always say that she's having a "jimy durante" moment.

2. Heater Vent = Cat Warmer

Bathroom Sink = Cat Sleeping Area
My bed = Cat Bed
My pillow = Deluxe Cat Bed
Me = Warm Furniture That Moves

3. The Laser printer is always warm

Furballs, Paper jams, they all seem related somehow.

4. Cat entrance to cellar

"Cat House"

5. That's a good idea. I'll have to look into that.

My cat has to inspect the cellar at least once a day. When he's ready, he cries like a baby till I let him down there. I don't leave the door open because he could wind up down there when the furnace kicks on and the suction from the fan shuts the door.

7. I cut a hole

in a plywood covered window for a large "Neighbor Hood Cat" to get out of the winter cold. In return he/she kept the mouse problem in check. Thus 180's Cat House.

6. Refrigerator = merf.

Our cat, Sid, stands by the refrigerator and 'merfs' until we open it and give him a bit of milk; Tony and I have, therefore, taken to calling the 'fridge the 'merf'. :P

8. Bwaaaa-haaaa-haaaa

reminds me of a friend of mine's cat

she would sit ontop of the fridge and bat your head when you opened the door

we called her the "fridge troll"

his other cat would sit in a chair near the front door and swat at you as you entered or exit - hence this cat was the "door troll"

9. Hehehe

Mine likes to hide at the edge of the door jamb, and grab your ankle as you walk through; he doesn't use claws and he 'love bites' it, then runs away like a streak. I think it's the cat equivalent of 'Tag, you're it!'. :P

10. My computer 'desk' is also known as the

Pooky feeding station. No matter how recently I have filled the cats' dishes, Pooky seems to know when I am getting ready to eat, so he stations himslef on my computer desk (I eat while writing), and hovers, with a pitiful "I'm such a good kitty, won't you give me some of yours?" look on his face. If that doesn't work right away, he climbs into the overstuffed cat chair (my lap), lays down across my kness and starts purring. Little rat! He knows how to get to daddy.:-)
