1. Even though the food in both bowls is identical, whatever the other cat is eating is preferable and vice versa.
2. Every corner in the apartment is just another opportunity to pounce on the other one and sit on his/her head.
3. There is enough room in one shoe box for two cats if they fold themselves up in impossible ways and squish each other hard.
4. A human in the bathtub is STILL the most amazing thing ever.
5. While one cat may love the Jim Lehrer News Hour on PBS, the other is more interested in the Hover Round commercial proving that, as with humans, there's no accounting for taste.
6. One cat's hairball is another cat's mid-afternoon snack.
7. No amount of air conditioning in the world can cool you off while sleeping with one cat laying on your head and the other covering your feet.
8. Vacuum cleaners are scary.
9. Flinging kitty litter all over the kitchen is fun but makes the human really, really cranky and ends up with the scary vacuum cleaner chasing the cats out of the kitchen.
10. Cats can tell time. They know when I should be home and are waiting for me at the door everyday. They also know when it's time to eat and come and get me if I forget. All of which just makes me feel loved and useful. I'm sure they don't care how it makes me feel but I like to think they do it just for me. I know...delusional human!

You so have cats! I'm thinking/designing in my head a way to add a shelf to the windowsill. I have 2 cats but one is very large and loves to sleep in the sun in the window. He gets to sleeping so deep that when he tries to turn over he falls out and crashes everything under the window and scares me to death from the sound of it. Of coarse he looks at me like it's my fault. This happens at least twice a day. The othr one does it too but she's so far gone by the time you come to investigate that you aren't really sure if it was her and besides she knows you can't prove it :)
Haha! I learned to have nothing under the windowsill early on. I've seen these little padded shelf things they have at Petco for putting on the windowsill. I was thinking of giving that a try.
I was thinking two or three heavy duty metal brackets, mounting them to the under faceboard of the window and just laying a 1x6 board over that (he weighs at least 15 lbs), maybe throw a pillow over all of it, depending on how I feel about them at the moment :) They already own everything else in the house...
And the funny part is that you and I both know that no matter what we set up for them, they will probably snub it anyway! :)
or act like "it's about time" I had this cat once (male, siamese)) and we had this 36in length of fake pearls and my mother wound them around and around his neck. made about a 6 inch wide necklace. boy you would have thought he was king of the nile or something he had to go outside and show everyone just how kingly he was! it was so funny! my mother went out and got him a black collar with diamond rhinestones on it to make up for taking the pearls away. He thought he deserved the diamonds too! He walked around as "your grace" for months! cracked me up :)
Haha! See, I put a collar on Arnie once and he looked at me like "You've got to be kidding me...". He was not amused.
