Cats a dickhead 🤣

Anyone else got a cat that’s a complete dickhead.

I have one very well behaved older cat and we recently decided to add another one to the mix.

He is an absolute terror 🤣. We leave for holiday tomorrow and I finished deep cleaning the house for the house sitter. Put everything away.

Walk back into the kitchen and he has somehow found (I have no idea how as they are kept in an enclosed glass jar) a tea bag.

Hes ripped it open and dragged it across three rooms leaving a trail of it everywhere. Got an emergency appointment at the vet incase he’d ingested it.

He’s fine.

Every day something 🤣🤣 picture of the culprit attached

My cat was an absolute knob this morning, she was meant to be going to the vet to have some dental treatment. She was sat on the breakfast bar, she saw the basket and that was it she was gone. I spent 20 minutes trying to get her but she was having none of it. The Benny Hill music was going round in my head.

I gave up and rescheduled as she was getting stressed. Now she won't come near me, won't even let me stroke her.

On the plus side I now know there's a cobweb behind the sofa which I missed!

He definitely knows it. He keeps waking me up during the night. Im not kidding when I say I turned my tv off to go to bed and I heard him jumped down from where ever he was , come in my bedroom and start meowing. I was like you little git, you've waited 😂

Can imagine my cat doing this

All cats are arseholes in their own way. The biggest terror we’ve ever had was a feral tabby kitten who turned it into an art form. Action shots attached.

It’s just who they are and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Of course we tackle any really problematic issues like biting, or add more layers of security if they’re getting in somewhere they shouldn’t. But if it’s just the cat being a cat, I can’t be angry. It’s my fluffy little arsehole and I love it ❤️

One of mine threw up over my laptop, keyboard and mouse. She could have gone anywhere. But she decided to jump up on my desk and aimed directly at my electrical equipment. I'm sure it was intentional. Probably because I'm trying to get her to eat better quality food and how dare I.

Mine left an organ on the hall carpet. Maybe a mouse liver? How did he dissect it out? Where is the rest of the creature? Was it even a mouse?

He is such a dickhead.

Hairshare · 01/09/2025 12:58

Hes just having a bit of fun. A cat needs hobbies.

LlynTegid · 01/09/2025 12:56

OP, you have forgotten something. People own dogs, cats own people.

Newname71 · 01/09/2025 12:54

Ours is a knob too. He sits at the French doors yowling to be let in. We let him in, he goes straight to the front room window and cries to be let out!!!
Let him out and he sits at the front door crying to be let back in…. When the fecking window he went out of is wide open!!

My cat has very dexterous paws and can open things....if he wants too.
I've just bought him a stimulation toy that has flaps that he has to lift to get some biscuits.
Now I know that he's perfectly capable of lifting the little flaps and moving a slider to get the treats but he's refusing to.
I know that he can lift the flaps because he's a devil for getting into the neighbours food waste bins if they're not locked and will come home with all sorts of tasty food treats like half a pizza. He knows how to lift things with a paw, nose or his head so I thought that something that would make him work for his food but nope he won't touch it.
He can smell the Dreamies but is refusing to engage because the toy is.....yellow

🤣 That’s hilarious. I love these stories.

All cats are dickheads. Their contrarian nature, self importance and complete refusal to do what we want them to do is what makes them so awesome.

They are benefit scroungers with the demeanour of aristocrats. And with such elegance.

I wish I could carry it off.

So well put ... and then we consider ourselves honoured when they sit on us and purr like the furry emotional terrorists they are

I had 2 and neither were thick and nuts... One prim, proper and elegant, one too clever we think he might have been a person in his previous life. Then we got a third and there we go. Collection complete. We call him "the idiot son". Lucky for him he's pretty!

He was beautiful. Maybe if I get a 3rd ill get the genius and complete the set

All I will say is it’s incredible how much floor space a squirrel, pigeon, rat, mouse, bat, frog, squirrel or chick from egg will cover once some or all of their skin has been removed.. and if cat hears us coming, she stops what she’s doing and pretends she’s been quietly staring out the patio doors like a Victorian poet looking for inspiration in the dark night. We round the corner and it’s like a scene from The Sculptress. So that is now her name.

Thankfully the Cat is fairly normal. It’s the dog that’s a complete dickhead. This morning she got hold of a used sanitary towel and ran round the garden like an absolute loon before eating the flaming thing 🤢

Speechless-but also I did have a Labrador that would have done the same, given half a chance.

@OakleyStreetisnotinChelsea our many moons departed stray who came to us Siamese used to be sick occasionally on the kitchen floor . Cold cat sick between toes is not nice 🤢
