To chop my cats paws off...

I am sitting here drinking coffee on MN, using a precious 5 minutes that I have to myself before I have to go back to work chasing sheep for DH. It is precious me time.

My cat is a big Bear of a cat Bengal cross who spends his days ratting our farm sheds. He has just delivered me his latest offering of a dead rat.

Because I have not responded in the manner he deems appropriate (which is to jump up and down with excitement and tell him how wonderful he is for catching the rat) he is currently spiking my bum with his claws through the back of my office chair and yowling.

FFS - I've told him I'm drinking my coffee and messing about on MN. He's just not listening. AIBU to chop his paws off and tell him to fuck off? In my defence, his claws are very long and sharp and very painful when spiked in my bum. He's also a twat with a complete sense of entitlement. In his defence, he's very good at ratting our sheds. when he's not sleeping on my bed

But without paws there would be no toe beans...

Tell him to go find one of these - should keep him occupied for a while if he finds one!!

KingJoffrey - He does have very cute toe beans... He's also not the brightest of cats...

Mrscropley - that could work, but then we'd have the resultant vets bills for the poor hedgie!

It'd make him shorter. Something to consider.

Awwwww! Perhaps buy him caviar to eat on an electric blanket to spoil him and give him a shoulder massage like the king that he is ??? :-)

If you chop his paws off he'd just find another method to harrass you, like biting ;)

Yep that's bengals for ya! Feisty and attention seeking and very energetic!

To be honest, if I had caught you a gift rat and carried it home in my mouth I would be annoyed if you didn't jump up and down with excitement and tell me I was wonderful. But I would have tipped your coffee over your laptop, so in fact IMO you are getting away lightly.

I make a real effort to thank my cats for their 'gifts' because I worry about hurting their feelings.

Even when I'm just in from work and faced with a massive pissed off toad.

Manners are important.
