It’s National Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day!

January 22, 2013 By: Sparkle Cat40 Comments

I have questions... but does my human have answers?

Who knew there was a day devoted to having humans answer their cats’ questions? I only found out about it about a week ago — just in time to let you kitties know about it! I am not sure of its origins; I do know that the California Veterinary Medical Association tried to shanghai it to make up cat health and care related questions that bear little resemblance to the sort of things we cats would really ask. But I am not going to let some boring vets try to speak for us! Here are some questions I plan to ask my human today. Note the very first one:

  1. Why do you stuff me in a carrier and take me to the vet when I am already feeling sick and horrible? Why don’t you put the vets into carriers and bring them here instead?
  2. Speaking of vets, how come most of them are still using those invasive tubes to take our temperatures? Why can’t they use a more civilized ear thermometer?
  3. Why don’t you appreciate the nice gifts I give you? Freshly killed crickets are tasty and great sources of protein and I know you are not a vegetarian.
  4. What is that crappy smelling stuff you spray on yourself? It does not disguise your scent and it makes me sneeze.
  5. Instead of getting yourself wet every day, why don’t you just let Binga give you a bath? She would be more than happy to do it, and as you can see she is very clean, at least usually.
  6. When the weather is gray and rainy, how come you don’t change it to something better? Do not tell me you can’t do this, I know you are lying.
  7. How come you are so anxious to get me to eat healthy, and then you go eat a red velvet cupcake? Hypocritical much?
  8. If you don’t want me to push the bathroom door open, why do you keep shutting it?
  9. How come fish-flavored medicine tastes like something awful and vile and nothing like fish?
  10. When are you going to stop making up excuses and buy me a new deluxe cat tree?

What questions do you kitties have for your humans today? I really want to know!

    We think Question 10 should be answered RIGHT AWAY, with a deluxe new model, like, say, the Lotus or something from Hollywood Franklin.

    And we LOVE Question 1. You have a valid point there. A bunch of them, in fact. Don’t be afraid to use them to full advantage next time this comes up.

    ummmm…ok, I came back again to day…still no answers on 23rd…what’s with that Sparkle? Especially the one about the temp taking…seriously, enough already…I think they just like to see us cats squirm! I also missed this auspicious day…must circle to remember next year

    Ohhh Sparkle! You are such a brilliant cat! You asked all the questions we have been wanting to…and yes, we hate it to the max when temperature taking time.. that silly vet just poke it and that’s it. I should do the same to him haha! We HATE vets big time too…why dont they offer some biscuits and treats will examining us..and oh..bath, these humans had to bath right. We HATE bath big time too ! Ah…red velvet cake. Why is it my human family feed me ‘healthy food’ when all i want is that msg laden tuna in a can? My question is, why do they need to feed us wet food 2 times a day only, they should increase that to 3…You are such a smarty paws 🙂 We all love you xoxoxo

    Sparkle, your questions had us laughing! So true, all of them, and your person must have been tongued tied cause she was mighty quiet. We’d like to know why our mom feels the need to move around at night too.

    I know my Grace has a burning question. I can tell by the dirty looks she gives me.

    “Why do you not know what flavor cat food I want at the moment?”

    Seriously, I can go through 2 or 3 cans before she decides what she wants to eat on any given day. Ugh.

    Those are most excellent questions and I notice the human didn’t have an answer to any of them. I’m gonna have to circle this day for next year.

    We agree with all your questions Sparkle except #3. Mum tells us we are very clever when we bring her gifts.
    We think stuffing the vet in the PTU is a very good idea.

    Wow great questions! Many of them hard to answer, hehe. Humans should appreciate your kind gifts, but they always freak out! You have very good point about eating healthy. So unfair humans enjoy junk food while you have to eat only healthy food!

    Let’s see:

    Tessie: Why do you pay attention to all those other cats? Especially Angel? What’s so great about her?

    Kylie: I’m good. I’ll be here if you need me.

    Angel: Why is Tessie always picking on me?

    Jake: Why do you leave me every day? And..um, is that food? Can I have it?

    Oo great questions! I can see the usefullness of stuffing vets into cages and bringing them to the sick kitty.. But then again, who’s gonna lift that thing to bring it into the house??

    Westley, Horus and Miracle Max want to know why it is unacceptable to do the following in our human’s bed:

    1. Fight/play when the light are out.
    2. Have loud baths beside her pillow when the lights are off.
    3. When we aren’t feeling well and have to vomit- it is nice to have our human nearby and soft bedding for our paws to rest on. She does not like this- especially at 3am. Why?
    4. Yowl between the hours of 1am and 5am when we are lonely and want a pet.

    Those are all excellent questions. Why can’t the Woman find a vet that does require we drive 45 minutes away? And why does the Male have to live in the same house. It’s a big house, can’t he at least live in another room so he doesn’t bother me?

    Good questions……

    As for the first two, our v-e-t does come to our house, but that doesn’t make it any more pleasant.

    And – Tim, Tom & Mozart seem to have magic microchips that show their temps. Our v-e-t is fascinated but when she called the chip company, they claimed to have NO IDEA what she is talking about. We say that all chips should come with that to take our temperatures. 🙂
