I've put privacy film on the front room windows and he can't watch the world go by any more. He's sulking.

@Gingernaut

After Googling "cats plotting murder", I came across this from Forbes

Apparently all cats, even the maulers like lions, tigers and Scottish Wildcats, share the same personality traits.

Comforting.

My dogs are terrified of my cat and she knows it. She has taken to sitting beside the dogs’ water bowl = obviously planning their demise by dehydration

I laughed when AlfonsoCat fell off the sofa during a vigorous washing session and then put the laptop on top of him when he got back on the sofa.

I foresee some sulking when DS3 takes his Nintendo switch back.

I dont know what I did really. Except for shut my bedroom door last night I was so exhausted i didnt even wake up for the loo which wouldve been their opportunity to get onto my bed. I stepped onto a huge turd outside my bed room door this morning. I have three litter trays 🤔

I opened a tin.... it was soup.

toffeebutterpopcorn · 01/04/2021 12:45

The large vets bill was probably just as added bonus to her. They really can be evil little sods...

Gingernaut · 01/04/2021 12:32

That evening the cat was not herself. She was off her food, and lying around looking uncomfortable. I called the support line with our insurance. They weren’t happy because of all the chemical stuff we had been using.

So off to the emergency vets we went. Several blood tests and hundreds of pounds later we were told that she was sulking. Because of the new roof.

Sorry, but that had me laughing out loud for real. Grin

We disagree on the rules of "fetch", played with a hair bobble. I think I should throw it, she chases it and brings it back. She thinks I should throw it, watch her chase it then I should go and pick it up, bring it back to my desk and throw it again. She's gone off to sulk on the heated bathroom floor in disgust.

popspops · 01/04/2021 03:24

It's hot in my bedroom so I have the cooling fan on, thus rendering dcat's favourite sleeping place unsuitable. dcat is staging an occupation of the bathroom in protest even though the tiles are cold Confused

hilariousnamehere · 01/04/2021 00:00

More devastation here, I refused to let DNinjaCat go and snooze in next door's conservatory while I was chatting to next door's human. Mainly because 1) it isn't her house and 2) a biggish dog lives there 😂 she's only just forgiven me...

This thread is making me smile a lot :)

@ImInACage

I dared to give him his usual tea time wet food, instead of the dry food he was clearly wanting. He's currently pawing at the ground next to his bowl and shooting me evils in protest.
Well, we’ve run out of wet food so kitty has only had dry food! We should’ve swapped!
RestingPandaFace · 31/03/2021 22:33

I had the audacity to put their favourite bowls in the dishwasher and serve dinner in their second favourite bowls.
Then as if I wasn’t a cheeky enough slave I wouldn’t let them eat my dinner as well as theirs.

JorisBonson · 31/03/2021 22:28

I callously went to work.

IrenetheQuaint · 31/03/2021 22:08

Shocking scenes here. After many weeks of the cat having me entirely to herself, my best friend/support bubble has come to visit. The cat is incredibly unimpressed and keeps coming into the sitting room where we are watching telly, glowering at us and leaving again.

MollySilkNose · 31/03/2021 21:55

DH removed a blackbird from DCat's jaws before he had had a chance to chomp it. The bird flew away and DCat sulked in the playhouse outside.

TroysMammy · 31/03/2021 21:38

We decided we didn't need the heating on today so he's sitting on a sheepskin rug next to a cold radiator.

Gorgeous cat. Definitely needs salmon.

Mia184 · 31/03/2021 17:31

I am making dinner without any salmon so Micky is sitting on the recipe and refuses to move.

@HelloPudding

First time I wore the leopard print dressing gown dh got me our cat cowered so he must have recognised it as leopard print.

It’s a fleecy cute one not a bet lynch affair.

AwkwardPaws27 · 31/03/2021 16:41

Not my cat but someone else's cat or possibly the small fox that visits apparently ventured in through the catflap last night, which I'd accidentally left set to "in only" after DCats came in.
They broke the flap busting their way back out Blush

ILikeTheWineNotTheLabel · 31/03/2021 16:32

So far today miraculously I’ve only managed to do right.

Got the sweetest purr miaow earlier when I gave him a clappie in just the right spot when he rolled over.

It won’t last but I genuinely live for times like this.

IJustLovePirates · 31/03/2021 10:54

I didn’t let her sit on my writing pad or play with the end of my pen when I was trying to do an assignment. She is punishing me by sleeping on my clean washing. I can’t move her....there would be hell to pay.

FionnulaTheCooler · 31/03/2021 10:48

I called her a little shit for repeatedly ripping up the carpet on the stairs, she has 2 indoor scratching posts and free access to the great outdoors where there are plenty of trees and fence posts to sharpen her claws on. She is sitting outside the patio doors with her back to me, she hasn't moved for around half an hour just to drive home the point about how not happy she is that shes not allowed to destroy things.
