New bf cat sit down- would this annoy you?

Preert · 31/03/2026 15:47

I’ve met a nice bloke. But he’s one of those people that can’t chill even for 5 mins: he’s always walking to get a coffee, picking the paper. The secondary I am out of something he has his coat and shoes on. It just really unsettles me as mad as that sounds. I am grateful he is wanting to get things in for me. But he’s in and out the house at least 5x a day.

Gizmo is also very flexible.

Gizmo looks like he could be front row at my Pilates class … such graceful elegance ❤️
My Frank looks like a jigsaw.

Same!

The man clearly needs a cat. No-one can move when they are cat trapped.

I hope this thread has been useful @Preert

My cat also hopes that this thread has been useful @Preert
He has very much enjoyed posing for it.

I thought your new BF was a cat and you were telling him to sit down.
I need to go to bed.

I was here for the cat too.

The cat wins every time.

Maybe that is the answer. Get him a cat so he can't keep getting up.

🤣🤣🤣

I wondered why his cat sitting down annoyed you lol

Gizmo is also very flexible.

I thought he'd sat on the cat and I kind of wanted to know how that turned out.

Disappointed.

I thought he had moved the cat from a seat so he could sit down.

I was concerned someone was breastfeeding a cat.

Lol

Is Frank’s tail black? Did you know he could be a Van cat!

honestly it doesn’t get better my daughters dad is like this and it drives me insane all the time but we don’t live together so I escape it now. From the minute he wakes up to the minute he goes to sleep or hell
run around for 3/4 hours and then decide he needs to sit down for a while but even that it’s so structured! So it doesn’t change ever haha

My cat is very interested in the bathroom, too.
In fact, he's obsessed with it.

Mine likes to sit on my knee when I'm on the toilet, which is weird, though I suppose better than a boyfriend sitting on my knee at that time...

Same. Completely let down by the later messages from OP🤣

LostThestral · 01/04/2026 15:37

honestly came to say how lucky you are that you have a boyfriend who always sits down with a cat, had images of him carrying one about everywhere in case of a sit down

When cats sit down and look at you, they are quite photogenic.

Onebattleafteramother · 01/04/2026 14:38

I was firmly committed to TC (Team Cat) from the outset, based on no other info.

Learned there was in fact no cat, hopes dashed on seeing some (un)reasonable cat malarkey, returned now to see not one, but many. Some sitting, others not, some gardening, some in items of clothing. Some haughty looks of contempt for lesser beings. I remain steadfast in commitment to Team Cat.

It's been a wild rollercoaster ride this thread; Schroedinger's cat thread, where there is both a cat, and no cat until you read the thread.

Wild I tell you.

EmpressaurusKitty · 01/04/2026 13:54

Kitty’s main interest in the bathroom is licking drips off the shower mat.

She’s very keen on gardening though.

Marmite is gorgeous!!! (She does look like she’s fully aware of it though) 🤣
