She uses my garbage can as a perch thejust in time for me to seriously want to dipose of something
Existing in a quantum superposition of living and dead states.
Our 17 year old cat (who we’ve had since she was 18 months old) has never had any interest in wet cat food. At best she would lick it the gravy off then walk away. We recently adopted a 4yo who had gotten used to getting wet food in the morning while he was living with a foster.
Now 17yo lady comes to beg for wet food every morning and won’t leave me alone about it. So the wet food gets split between them - he gets briefly shut in a room with his half and she gets to lick her plate in peace. Then 5 minutes later I let him out to come eat the food I gave her.
If she weren’t old and suffering kidney disease I might not be so inclined to humor her.
I’ve got a cat that does the same thing, just licks the gravy, I made the mistake one day of getting the patte, my other cat scarfed it down no problem, but miss priss sat there next to her bowl looking at it then looking at me like um this must be fixed immediately.
Yeah, ours does the same with the patte. But she’ll scarf down the “Silver Comfort” patte if its in a tube like Churu.
Mine doesn’t like the pate either, I think it’s the texture
Yes you would lol
Yeah… yeah I would.
When I stand up to stretch after sitting for a while, he will jump on my char and lay over it.
I have almost sat on him a few times.
Oh yes, ours is a chair thief too! Little stinkers.
I had a cat years ago that apparently thought he was ‘helping’ me by gently removing my glasses by biting the hinge and slowly pulling them off of me. I never could fully break him of that habit either, I just had to make sure he never got close to my face whenever I’d pet him.
Silly kitty! 😹
There was a room in my parents house we would close off before leaving. Somehow our cat would always hide somewhere in that room moments before we had to leave and refuse to come out.
That cat wanted you to stay.
The cat has needs, but refuses to communicate them without first performing an elaborate bee-style ritual dance/scream-off
E.g. if she wants to drink from the faucet, I have to stand there while she circles and jumps from countertop to countertop for 5 minutes. If I turn on the faucet in advance she will get annoyed at being rushed and reset the entire QuickTime event
Stands directly behind me, yowling. Keeps it up until I pick him up and cuddle him. Does this only when I’m cooking.
Mostly refuses to drink water anywhere but from the bathroom sink. Refuses to eat any food that’s been in the food bowl for more than half a hour or so. Pees on my bathroom rug if I leave it on the floor when she’s around…
Cats are fucking assholes, let me tell you.
He can open every door so I have to lock my front door all the time.
Beg for food, and then not eating it, letting it go to waste.
He has claimed the bathroom sink as his bed. While this is very convenient for petting the cat while using the toilet, he tends to sleep in the morning and evening which is also the most likely times I want to brush my teeth.
Fortunately, the kitchen sink is just around the corner, so it is not necessary to disturb the adorably sink-napping cat.
The part where they both died 10 years ago…
My cat will pick up socks from the dirty sock basket and carry them around in his mouth while yowling. Often this occurs right before he goes to hump something. No idea what the fuck he’s doing, but he leaves the socks everywhere.
Cut his balls off
They’re gone. He’s 11, I adopted him off the street at ~2.5 and he was already neutered.
We have an auto feeder for their dry food that has a removable metal bowl beneath the spout. When the metal dish is in place, all the kibble pours out into the bowl. When the cats think the food is overdue, they will tap the metal bowl out of the way to get attention or wake the machine up or whatever cat reason…and the kibble bounces off the hard flat plastic surface and half of it spills onto the floor where the dog will gobble it up.
Sometimes I put the bowl back in place and sometimes I wait and see if they’ll learn the lesson on their own.
Two cats, both have their own annoying thing. Black short hair bob tail: will get into any and all food if left out. Has learned to open cabinets and cupboard to get to hidden food. Has chewed through a cardboard box to chew through the bag of dog food, found him neck deep in the bag crunching away. Has chewed a hole in a canvas bag to get to dog food. Oh, and recently started peeing in the laundry. Long haired colorful: gets bored and wants to go outside, will wander the house screaming at the top of his lungs, clawing at every door. Happens anywhere between midnight and 3am, almost every night. Will bolt for the door if you have it open and aren’t watching for him. Where does he want to go? Rolls on his back in the road.
