My two indoor cats (who have a huge catio and supervised garden access) have learnt that opening the washing machine means I will be opening the back door and they can weave between my legs and dash outside for some unscheduled garden time. This means I now have to put the washing out while simultaneously watching the tabby doesn’t try and perfect his escape artist routine and leave the garden.
Not helped by the fact DH removed a section of the garden gate to make it easier for hedgehogs to get in/out and took so much off its now an ideal route into the front garden for said tabby.
Fat cat got scared back inside by a tiny seagull that he swears was the size of an eagle, this is a 6.5kg cat btw.
On returning inside tabby cat threw up the grass he’d scoffed down while in the garden. Luckily I heard the noise and swiftly deposited him off the carpet and onto the tiled floor. After he deposited the grass he’d went back for a second attempt at using the carpet, which I once again thwarted.
Fat cat proceeds to weave around my legs trying to trip me up, until I follow him into the bedroom and lay on top of him while rubbing his face. Weirdo likes to be squished at the same time he has face rubs, but will only accept cuddles if he is on my bed or if he has decided to sit on me. Any attempt to fuss him anywhere else and he runs away from me.
Despite how warm and muggy it is today the tabby has decided he has to sit on me, and is now stretched out along my legs. The usual routine is that he will head outside to the catio in a bit and then just as I’m about to go to bed arrive yowling and launch himself on me, demanding I remain on the sofa and submit to being his bed for the night.
At least when they want food early in the morning they go for the DH. Fat cat has learnt to dive bomb from the tall bedside cabinet right onto DH bladder area, while tabby likes to get his nose in DH mouth or ear as his wake up call. And if DH dares to try and go to the loo without the tabby going in too he will yowl and scratch the door, he just has to wee at the same time as DH, I swear he holds it in especially.
Love them to bits!
