Oh that's absolutely hilarious! Especially the second one...I was in fits of giggles...my cat lives on through the Simon's cats cartoons! It's so clever & accurate - especially that standing in front of you whilst watching the TV business and digging in with its claws!
Ash if you can tickle your cat into submission you are very lucky - with my cat you could do that for as long as she wanted to be tickled, and there would be the period of about a nanosecond between her wanting more tickling/stroking and showing you she'd had enough. You knew when she'd had enough though because that was the moment her teeth / claws sunk themselves into your arm - which necessitated developing lightning fast reflexes. Still, I will always love cats and it's their weird, awkward, quirkiness that I love most about them.
