Mwahahahahaha! I'm always pulling her tail down and yelling, "Get your a** out of my face!"
She wants to curl up around my neck like a scarf. Right now we're in the midst of a horrible heatwave, and I sure don't need a muffler!
OMG, too funny Just about everything that was mentioned, I've seen it happen. I've grown up with cats all my life, but now since I got my new place, I'm sad to have no pets at all. At least, I get visitation rights to see my parents' cats

*giggle* ... yep, so true. I regularly tell the one who's most inclined to do that "Hey, silly, I don't want to talk to THAT end!"
Well from talking with Wendy at Comic-con I know she so misses her little furballs. I know she would never have made the trip if you had not been willing to cat sit Gabe.
As the current house sharing with 3 ( one never trully owns a cat they allow you to live with them) I know our 16year old starts yelling in our ears a half hour before the alarm goes off, The 8 year old Seal Point Siamese plants herself next to my wife's head and starts the kneading kick while turning on he loud purr motor. Our latest long haired tortose shell perches upon my wife's bad shoulder (the one she dislocated thats almost fully healed) and looks at her for any sign of life.
After being fed they all have their post meal ritual with the 16 year old finding my wife's lap. The Siamese finding a sunbeam and Josie the 1 yearold finding a window to look out of even if she has to stick her head through the binds to do so.
Through my life I have had numerous dogs and other animals. Cat's to me are special for they truly choose to live with you.

Well - I don't know much about cats at all. I go in a house where a cat has been - and I have an allergic reaction - well not huge if I just go near them - then I just end up sounding like I have a cold. Don't remember the last time I held one. I had one as a child sleep near my face. I woke up and people freaked. I looked hideous. My face was swollen - I couldn't see out of one eye. I looked like a after shot from a horror face-lift.
My eyes look like a goldfish's - big bulgy and red.
They look so cuwte - especially kittens... but I end up itching my eyes - sniffing and coughing.
funny - that is basically my only allergy now (used to have more - but grew out of them)
Cats stick their butts in your face because they have scent glands near the base of their tail. You may have noticed that cats sniff each other there. I think they identify each other by the scent. Sometimes they get that funny expression after doing it with their tongues rolled and their mouths open because they have some scent receptor that they are using to analyse the scent. They are especially apt to do it if one of the cats was gone and comes back (like from the vet.) and they simply HAVE to sniff the butt of a new cat before getting all ticked off that it is there. (We don't know this smell!)
The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Yes but they do have the uncanny ability to pick out the most expensive & prized items of furniture , drapes & clothing to exersize their nails on when ever you happen to piss them off.
