I take it that this is satire.

Satire you say?
Nothing so purr-tentious… 😺

I would say so, like the rest of the thread.

Human here. I've stumbled across this thread and frankly I'm appalled. Appalled and outraged at the posts full of anger and hate speech. Appalled to discover what you really think of us. Disgraceful.
Reported!

Slaves need to be trained early on.

Could you refuse to eat for a day or two.
Let them buy you a variety of food.
Pretend to like it.
Then let them.spend more on it and then refuse to eat it.
Do this continuesly for a month or two.

Larrythebloodycat · 11/11/2024 21:16

I call BS. No actual cat would use the term 'owner'.

She probably sold her soul to the devil for a 5 pack of lick-e-lix on the understanding she humour her human with the honorific title "owner"!

maddiemookins16mum · 11/11/2024 21:21

I read this today as Servant 1 was cleaning my litter tray (finally). It's a disgrace. Do what I do when they try it on.....pluck at the new sofa, vomit on the bottom stair so they tread on it first thing in the morning and walk it through the hall or, best of all, jump on the kitchen counter and eat the left over roast chicken. Works for me.

I'm sure your owner eats more birds don't they? and there are far more wild birds that die due to humans than cats right? flying into windows for a start, loads die that way, just tell them that its nonsense and take the fucking bell off

Yes. They're actually proud of those giant desk fans they've built everywhere and they chop loads of birds to bits.

pollymere · 11/11/2024 21:15

Do you eat them though? Or do you just leave half-dead birds around the place?

They eat loads of birds.
Specially at this time of year.

And the ones they eat are massive in comparison to the ones we eat.

Hypocrites.
Hmm

When I a (large) kitten, I dragged a live large jackdaw into the last ving room. I don't know why the fur mum got so agitated.

Pippyls67 · 11/11/2024 19:07

Standard in this situation is to position one’s anus as near as possible to one’s owners face whenever possible. It is the only satisfactory response.

Chocolatestain · 11/11/2024 19:03

OP your slave clearly doesn’t understand how much fun hunting is. Try getting them involved. Humans are a bit crap at it so you’ll need to give them a hand.

I recently let a rat loose in my slaves’ bedroom for them to play with and it was a joy to watch them chasing it round the house in their pjs - such a lovely family bonding experience!

TaterTots68 · 11/11/2024 18:40

Wait? What? You eat birds? How uncouth. I much prefer to torture them to death then bring them indoors (through 2 cat flaps) and deposit them on the hall floor for the servants to deal with. That way I still have an appetite for the expensive food they provide (because I refuse to accept anything else)!

laraitopbanana · 11/11/2024 18:33

No Way!

That is an abusive relationship. How dare your owner tells you what you can and can’t eat? Does your owner also expect you to be home by a certain time? Or maybe to not go see other people? Or maybe the way you look at others find disgrace?

I’d be wary of this. Soon enough they will try to get you out of the sofa too!!!

Muddlingalongsomehow · 11/11/2024 18:20

Expand your horizons. My sister brought in a frog one summer evening. Enormous fun - bounce, bounce. Then two hours later, I brought in a small bat. Great entertainment value. After that, they will be fine with birds. Promise.

OhcantthInkofaname · 11/11/2024 18:15

Daisy, cat of ohcantthinkofaname here: mine even wants me to eat vegan! The horror when the vet told her that was a "no" and I am to be fed bird, fish and cow!! I thought she was going to have an cow.
Just keeping the flow going. Nothing real. She just turned 16, which is 80 in cat years. She's living her best life.
