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

I wouldn’t let her eat her brother’s dinner. Poor (overweight) girl didn’t get a 2nd dinner tonight 😿

Moved slightly to reach my cup of tea whilst he sat on me . Dried my hair.

Took mine to the cattery. They love it there. And they have a pen overlooking the duck house on the pond. They are also the I my guests in. And their favourite member of staff is in attendance to tend to their every whim. They will not be pleased to see me. They never are. Home does not have ducks chickens and horses to watch.

Mine has been standoffish with me all day, I've no idea what I've done wrong but im feeling quite rejected :/

I put poor Rosie OUTSIDE this afternoon. In the horrible sunshine Hmm She had to cry and wail at the window, the little mite...

Got up and fed him at 5am as he was shrieking ridiculously at the bedroom door, put down kibble, gave pouch of wet food, filled up water. As I put down the water my wrist touched his ear and disturbed him eating. I got a yowl and a smack and a day long huff for that.

I have a rooftop terrace and usually put out some unsalted peanuts for the two blackbirds that come here a few times every day.
I was sitting there today with Micky for about 2 hours when the two birds came over looking for a peanut dinner so I picked her up and we went inside. She is still ignoring me.

Fluffycloudland77 · 30/03/2021 18:56

I love how a minor inconvenience is a major problem to them requiring sulking and possibly treats but it’s ok for them to harass us for food at 5am.

SeeSawSeen · 30/03/2021 18:29

Love all our spoiled overlords and their foibles...this is the thread I never knew I needed in my lifeGrin

sunflowersandbuttercups · 30/03/2021 18:14

We ran out of cat biscuits. I got a smack on the ankle for that one Grin

GloriousGoosebumps · 30/03/2021 16:51

@Piggypiggyoinkoink hehehe. That's a timely warning as she has to have a dose each day until it runs out! She's been known to give her big brother a cuff around the ears when he tries to groom her so she's not afraid to make her views known. Just so long as she doesn't pack her little suitcase and leave home!

LysistrataVickers There was a cat looking just as annoyed as yours that our local cat rehoming group was trying to get rid of ASAP find a home for but in every photo they had of her she looked as if she was plotting revenge for something, or just being evil. For months they were making posts about "still trying to find her forever home" including photos of her looking murderous.

But that’s not a scratching post. It’s a handy step to get on top of the bookcase so they can survey their domain and launch aerial attacks when you aren’t paying them enough attention.

ChequerBoard · 30/03/2021 10:49

Brand new scratching post installed today. After an initial period of disdain, DCat2 and DCat3 have i so eye it and realised that it has actually just been pit in place as a set of cat steps to ear access to the top of dresser and to enable DCat3 (not the brightest) to sit in the wall light.

His Lordship remains aloof and is maintaining his disdain of the nouveau scratching post.

@StanfordPines the sulking cat made me laugh out loud. But I bet it was a Relief!

Jaxhog · 30/03/2021 10:41

I shut the bedroom door. Now he can't go in there, decide he doesn't want to sleep on the bed today, and then walk out. Multiple times.

ifonly4 · 30/03/2021 10:38

We've got roofers here. One went off outside growling, the other retreated to the back of the settee growling!

QueenPaw · 30/03/2021 10:36

Today he's sulking as he has wet paws. Not sure how that's my fault but...

Tyresmanc · 30/03/2021 09:59

Dd ate chicken for dinner last night. Dcat does not like chicken yet gets upset with me if Dd kindly gives her a little bit.

AlfonsoTheTerrible · 30/03/2021 09:49

And your poor daughter, mathanxiety. But, to be fair, she should stick to the schedule. Smile

AlfonsoTheTerrible · 30/03/2021 09:48

stanfordpines, that made me laugh! And you, too, SummerOfComedy. What we do for our felines overlords, eh.

25yearsnhsworker · 30/03/2021 09:01

I cut the waitrose chicken breast into pieces that were too big for his delicate 18 month old mouth!!

SummerOfComedy · 30/03/2021 08:55

Had to wash his favourite cushions cover - it was filthy. Now I he refuses to sleep on it. Doesn't smell (stinky) right to him any more.

I'm trying to get the dog to roll around on it make it smell again.

What a glorious sulking cat @StanfordPines Your post made me laugh.

Mumsgirls · 30/03/2021 08:47

Standard pines, that made me laugh out loud. I spent hundreds on tests last year to find out nothing wrong with my lord and master. It amuses me that cats can get instant blood test results while us inferiors have to wait a week
