To not allow the cat to sit on my lap when I just got dressed for a job interview?

[DrSeuss]

He certainly thinks so and has gone off in a huff! Probably destroying a chair somewhere as we speak!

Yes you are entirely unreasonable. Did you not get the pamphlet about being a good slave owner to your cat, published by our furry overlords friends? Repeat: I do not have a lap, I keep my cat's lap on my legs. This lap is my cat's lap to use whenever my cat so pleases.

The idea of denying a cat access to their lap!

Good luck with the interview!

YABU,
Kitty should be allowed access to your knee/lap at all times, on demand.

If kitty wants a lap everything must stop. You cannot move, use the telephone or go to the loo.

Next time put an old towel on your knee.

And good luck with the interview !

What? You think your interview is more important than your cat sitting on your knee? Well I never! Good luck with the interview, because it sounds as though you will need to buy a lot of catnip to make up for this heinous crime.

I only needed to read the first 5 words of your thread title to decide that yabvvvvvvvu.

Thank you for your good wishes although the cat still feels that I am entirely undeserving!

Totally unreasonable

Remember who's in charge here.

Not you.

You did what? You offended the cat? Wow you're brave!

Poor mog, he must be livid.

My cat kept standing on the keyboard in front of the screen this morning while I was trying to earn money to keep him in food.

I pushed him away patiently a few times and he did his other attention-seeking trick of picking his way though smashable objects.

I shouted at him and shoved him out of the back door and shut it.

But I caught his foot. I felt terrible, I let him back in instantly. The foot is okay. He is currently sunbathing.

Is he a black cat? Maybe he was trying to bring you luck? He's probably plotting what 'gift' to bring you in, or eat and bring back up again, whilst pretending to be sunbathing.

You are being completely unreasonable - I can't believe you even bothered to ask . You should know by know that you have to bow to their will, especially if you're wearing black.

Good luck.

Totally unreasonable. And selfish. So selfish.

Yabu - next you'll be saying you try to read a newspaper while the cat is trying to sit on it!

need a photo of huffy mog.

Have you put your shoes on yet? Did they have a regurgitated furball in them?

How did your interview go OP but more importantly, how is your cat taking it?

Well, as it is unlikely that your Master/Mistress has forgiven you, you may be able to redeem yourself if you a) get the job which I'm presuming will mean more money to keep said Master/Mistress in the lifestyle to which they are accustomed and b) apologise profusely, present said Master/Mistress with a gift and beg forgiveness.

Still waiting to hear about interview, thanks. Thought it went OK. Cat has forgiven me in exchange for food! He is a ginger Tom, named after Hermione Grainger's cat although he is not as fancy having lived rough till the CPL caught and rehomed him.

Hope you got the job and another request for a pic. Love cats!

Love the thought of him destroying a chair somewhere!!
