Oliver story

I think everyone's pets get underfoot, especially when they are spoiled rotten and treated like children. I have often stepped on an animal that got too close to my foot or tangled between my legs. The best is when they nearly knock you down in their zeal to be so close to you.

Awww--poor Oliver. Hope his paw is better by now. Well, my one cat Kissy seems to insist on following me to the bathroom whenever I have to go. Not so bad while I'm awake, but in the middle of the night if I have to go, it's pitch dark in here as I walk to the bathroom...and Kissy has that habit of meandering in and out of my legs as I walk. One of these days I swear either I'll trip over her or step on her...or both

How awesome that you got Top Cat of the Day! Or at least Oliver did. As I sit and type and answer some e-mails today, my Yorkie/Chihuahua mix is curled up beside me on the bed snoozing away. She is just as close to me as she can get without being in my lap, and she keeps trying to get between me and the computer. If someone wakes her up, she tries the little stretch thing, pretending to be innocent, and I have to push her back to her side of the bed.

[b]Well, you know[/i] she does; I heard [i]you step on her a few days or so ago! Maggiepie[/b]

Hi Elic, Yes, my Tom is always getting under my feet and the other day I did trod on his little paw and I had to pick him up and gived him a cuddle to say I'm sorry, but he is always doing that and follows me around the house all day if he isen't sleeping, he near tripped me on the stairs too.

I have 5 "boys" and if you are heading in the general direction of the kitchen, the 5 of them assume that you are naturally there for them. Now if you add in my husband and sons well...... you get the idea. Strange thing is though I am the one being stepped on better than half the time LOL! Take care!

Oh, you betcha! I have a couple blind spots in my vision and Harmony sometimes ends up there. Other times, though, she zooms around like a maniac and runs into me.

OMG it's my Freddie... Freddie is a girl but my daughter insisted she wasn't although she/he had no great big balls..she was much younger then so I say she is Fredricka and we call her Freddie... Anyhooo she is under my feet or twining around my legs all the time tripping me and making me swear! I tell her daily she will push me someday to the limit and I will kick her to the moon but she just looks at me with a yellloo and trip me again... xoxoxoxoxoxo

My pets and children are constantly underfoot and I'm forever treading on them. The puppies and toddler are the worst, but I don't suppose they have learnt as many painful lessons as the older ones yet. Actually, my toddler trod on one of the puppies last week and it caused him to fall on it in a heap of legs. The poor little mite (the puppy!) cried and cried, and limped about until I took him into the house and cuddled him. When he woke up he was fine though, so no serious damage done thank goodness.

My cats are constantly underfoot, but so far, no injuries (surprisingly). Are you sure Oliver doesn't have a broken bone? If it's got heat, it has inflammation. You might want to have it checked.

oh poor Oliver! all my pets have been like that. they just dont move because they think we wont step on them i guess. bet he will move from now on. Thats wonderful your cats name is my dads name

I realy can't comet=nt on this one, I do not have children or pets.
