Next door's cat is bullying my DH

DH does not like cats. He has made this clear by poking his head out the back door whenever Toodles is within shouting distance and using words which the DC have gleefully repeated to Nana.

Toodles is now getting his own back by sitting in front of our drive every morning and point-blank refusing to move Grin

DH is due home at 3pm and Toodles has assumed position right in the middle of the drive Grin Grin Grin

Pic of your new cuddle partner?????

Haha go Toodles, I think I'd have let him sit then and laughed at DH 

DisrespectfulAdultFemale · 18/10/2018 15:25

Water pistol. Sorted

I'm not sure that a water pistol would have had much effect on the OP's husband. Still, it's worth a try the next time he acts up.

DH has missed a trick. Pack of Dreamies in the car, and Toodles could be bribed to move. Spongecat is often bribed to do stuff.

I know OP's DH doesn't like cats - but this doesn't warrant him being soaked!

Picture please!

Cats are easy. You just stare at them hard and make sure you win.

If it helps your DH my 3 legged cat sits in the disabled spot and refuses to move.

I assume his argument is that he is missing a leg thus disabled

This thread has me crying with laughter! The previous owners of our house had moved out and left their cat. DH always claimed he hated cats and wanted her gone ASAP. She now lives in the house, has a designer cat bed and DH is her willing slave. I give it three weeks before your DH is peeling Toodle's mice.....

GoingNuckingFuts · 18/10/2018 15:40

TOODLES IS A LEGEND! not only does he torment your DH he then snuggles right into you infront of him! WHAT A DUDE!

GrinGrinGrin bless you and bless Toodles Flowers
I had a great laugh after a hard day at work

sobeyondthehills · 18/10/2018 15:41

peachesmakebeaches he is an arsehole, I took the dog for a walk once, he followed, there was some guys doing the lines for the football field. He lies down right where they were painting and refused to move, I had to cut the walk short, piss off the dog, pick up arsehole cat and had him screaming all the way out the park

There's no doubt who the brains in this operation are... Grin

GoingNuckingFuts · 18/10/2018 15:46

when i die i am definitely coming back as a cat, if i can, you can act a twat and its funny, your praised and rewarded, as a human if you act like a twat then you are a twat and shunned! Cats gotta love them.........sshhh dont tell my dogs!

RosaNullaSpina · 18/10/2018 15:49

Toodles is really messing with your poor DH’s head and having a great time.

cjt110 · 18/10/2018 15:50

Is he really called Toodles or have you name changed as it's outing?

holyshitdude · 18/10/2018 15:51

Thanks op, I've had a really shitty day and this thread has made me laugh out loud 😆

Flowerfae · 18/10/2018 15:54

I love cats, I'm certain they know they were worshipped as Gods in ancient Eygpt. My mum lives in a village which has a peacock, and he is a bigger twat then all the cats in the village, he thinks he owns the place. He refused to budge from my mum's driveway (he fancies mums next door neighbour so was busy strutting around with all his feathers out outside her house , she feeds him and makes a fuss of him and he loves it) we were trying to get out in our car and he just stood infront of the car glaring at us. I got out of the car to move him on and the little sod went for me, so I just got back in the car and waited :D he did move, just at his own pace... he wasn't even bothered that we were slowly moving the car forwards.

MissingPanda · 18/10/2018 15:58

I thought you were my ndn for a minute. I even went and looked out the window to see if my cat was still sitting in ndn's drive. She isn't but his car isn't there either and, as far as I'm aware, he isn't afraid of my cat.

Toodles is his covert spy-name, yes.

he's got smarts that cat.

He sits on the floor and looks at me and then looks at his missing back leg, so I will pick him up and put him next to his food, he has also taught his brother this trick so now, I have to pick them both up to the 4ft unit, when I know both can jump a 6ft fence

nextdoorscatwantstomovein · 18/10/2018 16:29

As you can see from my username we have a problem with next doors cat, if we let him in the house once I don't think we'd get rid of him as it is he sleeps in our currently uninhabited rabbit hurch and only seems to go home to be fed! He seems to spend 90% of his time in our garden and if he sees me or dds he starts pacing up and down the back doorstep and if we ignore him he starts knocking at the door! He has us well trained, thankfully we get on well with neighbour and he doesn't seem to mind when said cat follows us instead of going home we he calls him

nextdoorscatwantstomovein · 18/10/2018 16:33

Neighbour also has another cat who.likes to lie in the entrance to the shared car park and refuse to move, you would thought he had learnt not to argue with cars as he lost a leg as a kitten when he got run over!
