to give way to the cat

[Northernlurker]

We have a salad spinner
It lives in it's box on a high shelf
It is in use tonight for spinning coriander
Dh left the box open on the side in the kitchen

The cat has got in it

She looks very, very comfy and is curled up.

Dh wants to move her.

I say this is unfair and am mentally planning where else the spinner can live

AIBU?

Of course not. The box has been claimed by the cat. Therefore you can have no further claim on the object in question, namely The Box.

Lost my lovely cat a couple of weeks ago to hit and run driver. (Seemed really unfair as treatment for his cancer seemed to be working!) I say let sleeping cats lie and buy a new spinner!

No bless.
My cats are sleeping in a roll of unused carpet that was stacked nicely in the conservatory. They seem to have developed thumbs and built a den

But I did misread your thread title and thought 'oh no this will end terribly!'

Your husband is being unreasonable, the cat should stay in his new box/home!

ds2 was in his bed the other night and the cat was curled up asleep on his pillow with ds2 half way down the bed

Your DH is VU. He has obviously forgotten who's house he's living in (the cats obviously)

Sorry about your cat wolfiefan

Wolfiefan, sorry to read about your cat and hope you are doing alright.

OP, the cat must stay. You and your DH must have soggy salad until a new spinner is found.

The cat has claimed the box. It is no longer your box. sorry op.

Our cats also love boxes. There could be trouble this year as our dd is also somewhat enamoured of them. We are thinking of just getting her boxes for Christmas and it will teach the 3 of them sharing and not cost us very much. Result.

Of course you have to accommodate the cat's needs at all times. Call yourself a cat owner? I despair.

Very wise to give way. It will be noted, and when the revolution comes you will be remembered.

Much as I love my animals, I would not put food used to prepare food in something the cat has slept in - disgusting!

So, from a practical and hygienic point of view, YANBU

*something used to prepare food. I know what I meant

If you leave something out to be slept in...it's no longer yours... It now beluga to your feline master...

Your DH is being very unreasonable. I'm currently sitting on floor as cats stretched out fast asleep on sofa

If you leave an empty box out, it belongs to the cat until they are bored of it. It's the law.

We have lots of boxes left about in this house as we moved 6 months ago and the cat likes to have a change of scene every now and then...

I can never sort my washing basket anymore unless my cat moves.

I also have a problem getting of my chair to get a drink if one of them has settled on my lap.

Sometimes the cat lets DD sleep in her own bed :)

yanbu. The cat knows what its doing. Who are we to question the cat's master plan?

I have lost a dressing gown to my cats. Covered in hair and dribble (and washed regularly!) but I can't resist watching them suckle and knead it.

Spent a small fortune on one of those indoor/outdoor beanbags for DH his X Box chair which he can never sit on as the cats are on it.

Love them though

Oh, and could only do half the crossword the other day as the cat lay across the 'down' clues. I came back to the crossword later when she got bored.

This thread has reminded me of [my favourite children's book [http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/0140502424/ref=aw_d_detail?pd=1]]

Arse, how about [http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/0140502424/ref=aw_d_detail?pd=1]

YABU for eating coriander

Oh you get the idea

mrswifty what was the name of the book? Can't get link to work.
