The first one would be his attempts to guide me into the bathroom (the place where I feed him)whenever I go near the area. Let me tell you, if it is not obvious from his photo, Bob is a big boy, a big 8 kilogram boy so when he is barrelling into my legs at speed it is no mean feat retaining my balance. The trouble is I live in a small two bedroom unit and the only way to get into my bedroom or the office or the toilet is to pass by the bathroom. And every time there was a thundering of paws heading my way as Bob tries to persuade me to feed him again!
His second most annoying habit is when I am most vulnerable stark naked and wet coming out of the shower. That is when Bob pushes his way into the bathroom letting in cold air and finding this the ideal opportunity to brush his furry tail and his wet nose on my wet legs. I only have a mere moment of feeling clean and fur free before it all starts again. I have considered shutting the door but this results in constant miaowing and scratching at the newly painted doors.
The third top annoying habit is resulting in higher energy bills and a cold grumpy cat-mother. Trying to do my bit in reducing energy costs and living in a smaller space than previous years I anticipated the reduction in my energy bills by closing off the bedroom and the office. Unfortunately it appears that Bob sees that as restriction of his freedoms and takes every opportunity to rush into the unused rooms when I open the door and he sits under the bed or desk refusing to move. This leaves me with three options - leave the door closed and Bob with no toilet access, leave the door open and the heater at the same temperature (and me freezing) or leave the door open and crank up the heater. My only trick to get him to move is to put some food in his bowl which maybe his intention all along.
