To Have Sent The Cats To Bed Without Their Tea

[sadiekillmouski]

One of the hairy buggers has vomited copiously on my good suede boots...without a DNA test I am unable to determine which of the three is the culprit, therefore they have all been packed off to bed without the even a smidge of a goody. AIBU?

Yes. Even the one who did won't understand why you're being horrible. Go and feed them.

They have crunchies available...just no yummy kitty pate for them...:)

YANBU....little bugger whoever it was.

YABvvvvvU - I'm sure they only did it because they felt you deserved it - give them the pate!

YANBU mine does this when he's inhaled his pate so fast it just shoots back out again.

YABU - as staff you should know not to leave any precious items laying in their way.

My sueude boots did eventually clean up!

My cat threw up right by my open laptop....I took it as a warning.

Nope yanbu - quite apart from your boots being ruined if our dogs are sick they get fasted

Awful Very wise!

Slightly off topic but every time I see a cat in a 'funny' costume, I always think 'Yes it's all laughs now - wait til he shits in your shoes later'!

Just found a gekko tail in the bed and then realised food bowl was empty. You have been warned

YABVU! "Group" punishment is wrong - see all the school threads! - and against the cats' feline rights!

Only one naughty moggie is responsible for this heinous behaviour!

YABU to 'punish' an animal.

At least s/he didn't throw up in your handbag.

YANBU to cut out the slop for the night and put them on hard rations.

YANBU if you're skipping a meal to settle their stomachs.

YABU if you're doing it to 'punish' them. Firstly because vomiting is involuntary and secondly because animals only associate an action with an immediate reaction, like being scolded or praised straight away. They won't understand that you didn't give them dinner because of something that happened earlier.

You know they will punish you a million times over......

Just reminded me of yesterday morning: Caught cat1 pooing in the middle of the floor - walked in while he was in the guilty act - with a clean litter tray right next to him - while cat2 looked on from his bed. I screamed (involuntary reaction) and scooped him up, mid-crap, opened the back door and threw him straight out onto the grass in one smooth (almost Sherlockian) move. Cat2 in the bed didn't bat an eyelid. Shitting cat1 tore across the garden in terror. Think they knew what was what.

CassCade - that is hilarious! I can just picture it.

Thanks, bettercallsaul1 ! It wasn't at that moment, but it was writing about it! Bad cat.

You have forgotten that you can own a dog, but a cat owns you.

No, I was not punishing the poor wee beasties. Just wanted to see if they had been piggy or if there was illness involved. Rest assured that all three have been given their daily ration of kitty pate and are now snoozing in a great furry pile on my bed. God's in his heaven, all's right with the world. :)

Won't somebody think of the kittens!

sadiekillmouski (great name, by the way!)

That is a very cute picture you paint of your cats "snoozing in a great furry pile" on your bed! I can just imagine the large, purring bundle!

They'll have sent their entry to you realise.

YANBU, but can you send their tea over to me, i have forgotten buy cat food and poor cats are driving me mad, you would think their bowl had been empty for 2 weeks not 2 hours.

I think you are being entirely reasonable. My cat has just climbed onto me as I try to type this as if to deter me.
