AIBU or is my cat ?

He's over on the other sofa. Snuggled up to DH. And he's staring at me giving me huge cat evils. He's spent the last month refusing to settle unless he was sat on me. I may have tempted him over here 4weeks ago with promises of stroking and other delights (and Sheba) But now I am dead to him.

YABU.

You sound like you think your cat owes you something. He is honouring you by actually bothering to look in your direction so that should be more than enough.

Imnotmadeofeyes · 11/04/2014 20:05

Well it doesn't matter what went on, in any cat based scenario you are always going to be the UR one Grin

Say sorry and accept your new place in the pecking order.

(Btw when cats do that narrow eye blinky thing it's a nice thing in their language. 'Cat kiss' him back)

YADBU. It's your cat's house.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 11/04/2014 20:14

YABU. His house, his rules. You sound needy, and bordering on EA :(

Sarsaparillajones · 11/04/2014 20:15

Ok the evils have stopped. But I can hear purring ! Envy

The purring is a dealbreaker. LTC (Leave The Cat) Grin

indigo18 · 11/04/2014 20:20

You are most definitely showing signs of being needy. And a tad PA...

FreudiansSlipper · 11/04/2014 20:24

have just asked my cat for his opinion

he sent you purrs

he is not a normal cat, other cats would have questioned your ability to understand what being in a cats life means, that is accepting any scraps of affection that they choose to give you

HoldOnHoldOnSoldier · 11/04/2014 20:27

You sound so entitled op. have one of these Biscuit

My cat looked at me like this the other day:

Hmm
AIBU or is my cat ?
AbbeyBartlet · 11/04/2014 23:10

YABvvvvvU I'm afraid. I don't think you are working hard enough to regain his love. Would more Sheba be an option?Always remember that a cat is doing you a favour by even acknowledging your existence, so if you want his love you have to work hard for it and cater for every little whim! Grin

Btw - loving the cat pics!

Mrsdavidcaruso · 11/04/2014 23:16

I have 3 of the little darlings ALL giving me the death stare.

Offler · 11/04/2014 23:27

DP had the audacity to flea treat our cats on Wednesday, girl cat took it in her stride and was happy to forgive the infringement in exchange for fuss and food. Boy cat only forgave DP this morning. He's sensitive Hmm

unicornpoop · 11/04/2014 23:44

I have never had a reasonable cat Grin but yours sounds a whole lot more reasonable than mine....mine just pee'd in the dryer, which is near the (clean) litter tray that she's used without issue for years.... she seems quite pleased with herself too Hmm

frogslegs35 · 11/04/2014 23:49

Yab totally U and you know it.

Here's a pic of my cat giving me the evils after I had a sneezing fit in bed which freaked him out - he left and found solace in the bed of another. He stayed there with our visitor for the next few nights to punish me heartless furry bastard

Nohootingchickenssleeping · 12/04/2014 00:07

Mine is hammering on the bedroom door as I want my bed to myself tonight. I'm gonna him a cuddle.

elahrairahforprimeminister · 12/04/2014 00:11

This is the same scowling cat when he saw I had food.

He only wants me for one thing.

:(

muffinino82 · 12/04/2014 01:12

YABVU obviously

MollyHooper · 12/04/2014 01:24

If you dare disturb this cat for anything but food, this is the evil face.
