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

@GloriousGoosebumps it isn’t. It really isn’t. Don’t be lured into a false sense of security!

Ours seems to have recovered but she was extremely unhappy that three adults had decided to wrap her in a towel and hold her down while forcing a syringe full of pain killer into her mouth. I'd love to know how the vet manages single handedly. In any event, she ran out of the room but returned pretty quickly and is now asleep on the footstool. All seems to have been forgiven.

I stood next to her perch in the dining room and looked at her...She hissed.

I had to lift her off my office chair earlier because I had a Zoom meeting with my boss...I then had to shoo her off the table when she decided to jump up and lie across my keyboard. This is bad. She may never speak to me again.

@CovidCorvid - it's bloody falling off anyway so he has his revenge.

She's sulking because I've shut the back door and it's still daylight. If I don't she fucks off all night and I'm not having that if i can help it.

Dd gave youngest cat a bath today (he needed one as he stinks) so he’s in a mood.

You wait till he starts picking at the corners and rip the whole thing of like mine did!

We moved house AND it's been windy. It's going to take time to gain forgiveness.

Was giving Geralt a wee clappie just behind his jaw as he rolled over on his favourite chair.

DH dropped a box of tissues across the room and was meet with a startled jump followed by a huffy silence.

Had to run a feather teaser under a blanket repeatedly. After murdering it very effectively with the aid of both back feet on several occasions he was sufficiently placated to consent to even look at us briefly.

Our favour was short lived however. A sunbeam appeared outside on the patio and of course it’s lure was absolutely irresistible.

I chopped up chicken without saving him some. Not sure when he will forgive me, if ever.

Thefamilybusiness · 29/03/2021 17:09

I sat in the conservatory perilously close to her bed, I even walked past her. She was not impressed.

Bargebill19 · 29/03/2021 17:08

Went work and disturbed them playing at 5am. Then when I came home I don’t stay home - I went back out, without leaving dreamies.

LysistrataVickers · 29/03/2021 17:05

I have come in from work and not fed her immediately! DS1 just said "Mum, Poppy is making a funny noise" I go downstairs and she's writhing around the kitchen on her back making the most dramatic noises. Told her to shut up and she has! She's trying to get the kids on her side. Minx. This is her annoyed face from the bed I am lazing on and ignoring dinner time.

The clocks have changed and dinner is late but it's sunny and light. Confusion reigns.

WirKindervomBahnhofZoo · 29/03/2021 17:04

I put tuna flavoured Felix down when he wanted salmon - idiot that I am!

CoronaCurls · 29/03/2021 17:03

I opened the bedroom window while they were dozing on the bed in the sun. Completely unreasonable of me - they don't sleep on beds for fresh air!

CorpusCallosum · 29/03/2021 17:03

DCat sleepily stretched and knocked the support out from under my laptop then I 'let' the laptop fall on him.

FrasierCraneDay · 29/03/2021 17:00

She brought her friend round for tea, it was not tea time. Now my cat and not my cat are sitting on the windowsill being very vocal about my sheer incompetence Grin

Sudename · 29/03/2021 16:57

I had a lay in till 8 this morning so brekkie was late. We were not happy

InglouriousBasterd · 29/03/2021 16:55

I changed her litter tray for a new, larger model that could accommodate her large, fluffy bottom. Unacceptable, she prefers to perch on the edge.

I went into the garden to hang washing up for the first time this year. The garden is hers, I intruded.

IrenetheQuaint · 29/03/2021 16:50

My cat was just dozing peacefully in the conservatory when ANOTHER CAT Shock appeared on the conservatory roof! Dear Lord, my cat can yowl... it really sounded as if a small creature was being tortured to death. Then many evil looks directed to the direction in which the (remarkably unfazed) other cat disappeared.

practicallyperfectwithprosecco · 29/03/2021 16:46

Well cat number 1 went to vet to have a cyst removed so will accept annoyance from her

However kitten cat is more annoyed about - I've removed her playmate for the day, then on top of that I won't leave the front door open for her to sit in and watch the world go by, I won't let the cat she has befriended into the house and make him stay in the garden, I won't give her dreamies on demand or let her sleep in the middle of the table! Hard life being a cat

ChequerBoard · 29/03/2021 16:45

I failed to feed his Lordship the leftover chicken from yesterday's Sunday roast. Clearly this was against all the cat-first principles of his household and I am an abusive owner.

Neither of the other two care, they aren't allowed to eat his Lordship's chicken anyway. They are only allowed biscuits. All human food belongs only to his Lordship.

Athinginitself · 29/03/2021 16:43

I stroked the new evil interloper garden visiting cat. Cat1 still wont look at me.
