If I had to describe my cat in one word....

If I had to describe my cat in one word... the word would be sardonic.

He looks over at people with clear eyes, a smile (yes, cats smile) and one ear twitched back, as if we both amuse and annoy him.

I've yet to see him roll his eyes. But he does do the huff of frustration when he doesn't get what he wants (extra dinner, dinner on time, the door opened, immediate undivided attenion).

*pets amused kitty, with a sardonic smile of my own. Hmm. I wonder where he got it....*

My Rodney looks at me like I'm the dumbest creature he's ever seen, usually right before he lets out one of those huffs and grumbles as he walks away. Thankfully he only does this when I don't obey his wish for a third or fourth dinner. My other cat, Colonel, is a giant flirt, who likes to roll over and show his belly at the least bit of attention. And to think, people actually think we're the owners.

Must be a family thing.

A few years ago I was visiting my friend Jennifer and while I was there, they had to change their older cat Caspar's wet food to something the vet prescribed to avoid UIs. Since the first few days they hadn't figured out a system yet to feed their cats separately, their other cat, Millicent, got the same wet food and she hated it. Actually, both of them did and refused to eat it for a couple of days.

And then, one evening, Millicent, who, having been a half-feral cat, was very shy and stayed away from humans as much as possible, left her domain on the ground floor, came up the stairs, walked into the kitchen, plonked her ass down in the middle of the room and went MEOW. You could just hear "Feed me now and something decent, too." in that one outraged sound.

Sort of like Snape? :D

Ha. Point. But with more amusement. Sort of... Snape, shading towards Remus. If that makes sense.

[whimseywisp.livejournal.com]

That makes complete sense.

[I think that means I've read too much fanfiction.]

Wait until you discover your cat has opposable thumbs. Then panic.

I would apply the word 'curmudgeon' to mine. Indeed, I may change his real name to that if he keeps living up to it anymore.

my dog is so particular about how you touch him. you can pet him just fine, but if your hand just sits in place without any movement, he gets really huffy and waddles away (he's a corgi).
the only way he'll take a nap with me is if i sleep on my side, and i place him back to back with me, and i don't touch him in any other way.
he makes this noise we call a 'birf'. it's his way of letting us know he's annoyed. which is a lot. though i don't know where he picked it up, cause my family's not 'huffy'...well, maybe my dad.
i love when animals smile :)
