It's plotting to murder you and consume your remains.

They're wondering why we are trying to work out what they think about.

My cat lays down, and every now and again gets up to eat something, though not very often, she's very old.

At some time during the night she gets up for a shit, and also pisses up the cloakroom door!!

I don't think she thinks about much these days.....

just sits and stares me

Asserting its authority/waiting for you to communicate

Do the slow blink back and see what happens

It's attempting to order you about via telepathy. Eventually it will train you and you'll just know what it wants.

One of our has had a stroke and can't jump any more, so now he just walks up a table / kitchen work surface and looks over his shoulder at me and that's my cue to pick him up and put him on it.

Well done for taking him or her in anyway. Cats do suffer from separation anxiety apparently so it may just being being a bit clingy until its relaxed. We have rehomed two like you and they both took 6 months to a year to settle down.

Separation from what? Food?

If either of our cats is looking at me with anything other than total disdain, then I'm suspicious, and fear my impending death

I've tried many times to out stare a cat. Never won.

They're masters at this game too. Probably part of their trying to sneak up and kill you instinct.

one of mine has taken to sitting on the side of the bath, all i can think is it is trying to understand why i am voluntarily getting wet. Same cat that when sprayed with a shower head just licked the water off its fur, my assumption i don't even have to walk to the water bowl/puddle my servant is learning.

It's trying to activate the mind control function so it can direct you to where the food is. Once it has achieved this it will take you to said food where you can dispense the it. You are now it's butler so better start pulling your weight lad!

When cat is in the house it always heads to the bathroom and sits in the sink and just stares into space. It spends hours doing that but what it really wants is the tap turned on. It'll drink or just watch the water.

Had a friend use the bog when cat was in the sink, we had to remove said cat as it was putting of our friend from going.

Our cat is in the cat hotel currently, following the owner everywhere, she doesn't follow me at home, other than when I am having my morning constitution, which she insists must be interupted everyday to make sure I am in the room.

So I expect she is following the cat hotel lady wondering when she is going to the bathroom so she can interrupt.

Much easier if you're myopic - if you can't focus on what's in front of you, you blink less.

Its kittens that think about murder

[img] [/img]

As adults all they're thinking about is whether alibi will stand up.

That and what object in the room you'd get most annoyed about if the sat on it.

My gf's sister had a very elderly cat - practically a bag of bones. It managed to get itself onto the table while we were eating breakfast - it then staggered across the table and then carefully sat itself down on my beans on toast.

Won't make that mistake again. Cats just stare at things. Human's attention tends to switch from one persons eye to the other. So when we look at the cat its eyes are just motionless - when they look at us the see our eyes flicking left and rights just slightly. So my cat would just stick his paw in your eyeball to keep it still.

All (adult) animals only ever think about three things

1. Will it eat me?

2. Can I eat it?

3. Can I shag it?

That stalking cat video is brilliant! Like a furry weeping angel. 🙂
