Javier is adorable! I love those spots around his nose. I used to have quite a few rocks sitting on my desk. Most of them ended up on the floor.

Jonathan, my wife is more of a cat person than I am...but I'll have to admit those are VERY cute pictures! I did show the pics to my wife...big mistake! Now she's bugging me about getting a cat. I should have known better! LOL I must say I love the markings on your cat's muzzle!

If leave anything out at night on a table he uses it as a wakeup call for breakfast. He loves knocking things onto the floor in this very deliberate, slow, shameless way, as if he is accomplishing something important.

What a cutie! And he has good taste. He definitely looks inquisitive. I’ll be contributing to this thread. Winston, who tragically passed at less than a year old loved, loved, loved rocks. His brothers carry on the tradition. The sister not so much. She prefers the feathers our chickens leave around the yard. IMG_2131_Winston the rock-hound kitten by sdttds, on Flickr

IMG_2131_Winston the rock-hound kitten by sdttds, on Flickr What a cute photo and pose. My other cat wants nothing to do with the rocks. He smells them once, and when they don't smell like food, he's done with them. Javier, however, is really into rocks. I have even found him sleeping in a box with rough rocks inside. My kind of cat.

He loves knocking things onto the floor in this very deliberate, slow, shameless way, as if he is accomplishing something important. If it leads to waking you up and getting breakfast, I’d say mission accomplished! Shameless is a perfect way of describing that technique. My old cat would stare at us as he was knocking things off. He knew very well what he was doing.

He knew very well what he was doing. It wakes me up. It works. He gets what he wants, which makes him do it again. And again. Cats are master manipulators. But if we depended on someone else to feed us, we probably would be too.

And speaking of them knocking stuff off onto the floor - You know that's what they are thinking as they are making a mess, lol. Unless they are old or dead, all cats do this!

LOL! My cats don't do that thank God. My BIL's cats do, though. And they are BAD for it.

Mine is terrible. It is his goal in life to knock rocks off of high places onto the floor.

These are GREAT photos, Jonathan! I love your cat. We have two but they're not into rocks. Everything else ... yes ... LOL

paulshiroma Don't encourage me or I will start hi-jacking threads with cat photos. Until now I've tried to include at least one rock in each photo as a pretext. This is Javier and Big Brother. Big Brother is big into surveillance and psychological manipulation; hence the Orwellian name. If you don't know where Big Brother is at, chances are, he is watching you. He is also quite big. About 15 pounds and not really overweight. Just big.

Mine is terrible. It is his goal in life to knock rocks off of high places onto the floor. Your posts are really making me miss my boys who passed away 3 and 4 years ago. Our smaller guy "Junior" would terrorize my wife in the morning by clearing her nightstand to make sure she got up to feed him. Funny thing is he really didn't care about food, he would have about two bites and go take a nap. It was all about sending a message.
