At Last the Truth Can Be Told!
My friends, a sinister enemy walks among us -- perhaps in your very house. It comes from the distant reaches of another galaxy, yet takes the form of an innocent house cat, gaining our trust, then ... stealing our very thoughts while we sleep!! My friend, we cannot keep this a secret any longer. Can your heart stand the shocking facts of ... BRAIN ROBBERS FROM OUTER SPACE?!?
I want to believe, Jill H.

YAY X-Files reference, NTMTOM!!!
(Premiere in 24 hours, 29 minutes w00t!!!!!!!!)
my cat does that -_-
as well as standing on my sternum.....
aww YAY... I was just wiping my tears away (very sick relative and I was looking at his hospital pictures~I miss him) and I thought I'd come see some cute.
THIS is so darned cute, Love it! It's hugging her head, lol!
Definitely thoughtnapping. Haven't you ever woken up with a completely empty head?
"you weeeeeel serve me fresh chcicken, you weeeeeel serve me raw fish, you will grant my every command.....now sleeeeep my pretty.... sleeeep...."
Because all you of earth are IDIOTS! You have stupid minds, stupid, stupid!
(How's that, NTMTOM?)
Cats stealing breath = old wives' tale.
Cats stealing brains = something we really oughta look into.
Alice, I do. All the time. But I don't have a cat. I think they're bleaming (not to be confused with bleening) my thoughts straight out of my noggin' from a distance with their thoughtnapping rays.
"She started as a pimple on my chin!"
And remember, Berthaservant, future events such as these will affect YOU in the future.
Kate: "She started as a pimple on my chin!"
Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!
That picture makes me want to get a cat more than ever. I want fuzzy brain noms!
Cats are just weird. Seriously.
That photo makes me smile and gives me the jeebers at the same time.
Meg, I love you just as much as I love Criswell, which is a lot. ^.^
This is freaky.... I think I know both of them in the pic, and I am like WHOA>>>> NO WAY DUDE!!!!!!!!
***walks slowly away from the puter***
My cat does this too, except she wraps herself around my head and noms my brains with her belly.
Well, I feel quite safe.My one remaining brain cell,
is safe in a biscuit tin, (Murican cookie jar) in the cupboard under the stairs. NO ONE gets out alive from the cupboard under the stairs. I don't dare enter and though the gas and electric meters are there, the meter men, will only stand just in the doorway and they have to use a TORCH, for gawds sake!
I used to housesit for a guy friend who had an AWESOME cat, and she knew I was allergic (I explained it to her very carefully when we first met, and she was very understanding). She was allowed sleep at the foot of the bed, but not under my chin (her favored spot); it took only one discussion for her to comply (did I mention she was an AWESOME cat?).
Then one morning (two days into a three-week housesitting gig) I woke up, SNEEZING to beat the band, and kinda overheated, besides, wondering what the hell was going on.
Turned out the cat had figured out that she could nestle on the pillow RIGHT ON TOP OF MY HEAD, thereby absorbing the maximum heat from my person, while at the same time NOT being in my line of vision. Win/win, right?
If she hadn't woken up and started purring as soon as my sneezing started, I might never have caught on.
Moral of the story (for anyone who doesn't have them or hasn't spent a week with one who likes you): Cats LOVE the top of your head-- ain't no warmer spot in the house.
One of my foster kittehs in Philly was a head-sleeper....At least, that's what I *thought* he was doing!!! Now that I know he was stealing my thoughts, no wonder he seemed so disturbed, LOL!!
Oh man! That is so cute! My cats won't even sleep in my bed with me. Where is the love?
*pouts*
Love the hovertext!!
This is one of those posts that make me wish I weren't allergic to kitties!!!! I think this looks quite comfortable.
snort! that is so cute!!!
pretty kitty.
The ATM password is BOSCO. (and he killed my mother!)
Too cute!
i looooove calicos! they are especially prone to head naps and brain nomming.
occasionally my Yoshimi (aka shimi, sheemster, meme, memeerson, etc.) will throw in a mini head massage/acupuncture just for good measure too. ;o)
Oh, my, yes. I had one a them brain-suckin' cats for many years. Her second-favorite sleepin' spot was draped across my windpipe. Whoever started that legend about cats stealin' babies' breath must've had a cat like my Ludmilla.
My Magrat does the same thing to me ... When she does, we call it her "cat hat" position, or, if we're feeling bilingual, the "chat-peau" :D
I have two cats that actually compete for the head space, although not so much now it's summer. In winter it's a free for all. We have 4 altogether and the other 2 are competing for the foot space. Weirdos.
CUTE picture.
LOL, one of my girls does this on occasion. Unfortunately there's never been witnesses to the madness.
This cat knows all, tells none! She has already been to visit YOU while you slept. She knows all your secrets!
Oh, wow! Someone suggested on another site that most cats aren't attached to their people....this certainly gives the lie to that! (I replied that you have to encourage them/make the first overtures or they can get on by themselves...if you give them attention, they can be the most loving of animals.)
BTW, J Bo....pet stores now have stuff for people who are allergic to kitties. I think it reduces allergens on the cat.
that's a very pretty cat
I had a kitty who did this. I wouldn't have minded if he just slept, but he'd start out by kneading on my skull, which didn't feel so great. He was the most loving kitty ever. I miss him. :(
I now know what you did last summer...
Now really, people, THINK. What in the world would a cat want with a human's silly thoughts? She's not STEALING thoughts, she's INSERTING them: "Get up and feed the cat NOW. Get up and feed the cat NOW. Get up and feed the cat NOW. . . . "
BOSCO!
I would love a little kitty head warmer for those cold winter nights.
This reminds me of my cat before I gave in and gave him his own pillow right above mine. Now he sleeps on his pillow above my head and only his paws and tail dangle onto my face.
My Stinky cat did this exact thing to me. He stole my free will and made me his minion. In one night I went from "!@#! kitten gotta find you a home" to "MUST. BRING. TUNA."
Good point, Juno!
Love the hovertext!
ahhhh ... NOW I understand why I'm going bald! My cat is to blame.
i'm glad my Steve doesnt do this.
the drooling would be...
a 'skotch' irritating.
Reason #485 not to like cats: They steal brainwaves.
Why do cats do this? Weirdos.
Hey NTHTOM, that text makes me think John McCain was here what with calling us "my friend, as JMcC does so annoyingly often. BTW, I am not his friend so I wish he'd stop calling me that. I AM, hopefully NTMTOM's friend though.
I have those exact same pillow cases! What a cowinkidink!
The cat's body is so relaxed and his eyes are so evil-- like he's reaching into a sack and pawing around in there: "OK, Let's see what we got here... High School locker combination... Great-Aunt's birthdate... old Perry Mason episode -- gee that Della Street is some dish!-- Where IS the dang ATM password??"
awwwww I love how kittehs must use the brainular area as a personal pillow.
what's this?
a martian brain sucker!
what's it doing?
starving!!! haha
