To ignore my cat's cries of distress? LIGHTHEARTED!

[SneakyGremlins]

His food bowl is 2cm to the left of where it "should be", in his eyes. HE moved it

My cat goes downstairs and is given breakfast. Then he comes back upstairs purely so I can carry him downstairs.

I’m mean, I can ignore her demands so I’m the last person she goes too for anything. Apart from when she’s poorly, or wet! she’s straight to me for a towel dry/to fix it.

She also likes the days to be the same. Likes the upstairs of the house totally to herself so she can sleep during the day and woe betide me doing work up there. I’m also not allowed to have a bath in the evenings because my spot is on the settee, I get hounded to get out

meredint now THAT is lazy

I put on YouTube videos of birds to entertain my boys. Great, they loved it. Super cute stalking and yowling at the birds.

But apart from the issues of launching themselves at the TV, they now give me shirty looks when I change channel, and get all excited when they see the YouTube logo on the TV, even if it turns out mummy is just putting on one of her stupid fireplace videos again.

Can't complain though, they're obsessive huggers/snugglers, and if I need them off me a moment, on go the bird videos. (I'm going to be a great mum).

One bro our boys has a heart condition and OK, I might pander it him a tiny bit, so whenever we have mince he goes crazy if I don’t set aside some raw mince for him.

When we have fish and chips he takes his place at the head of the table and expects to be given Cod (without batter), and if I’m cooking tiger prawns he expects me to chop some raw ones up and let him eat as many as he wants.

If I don’t he really yells at me, and will follow me around meowing.

What makes it worse is that he has these beautiful plaintive eyes which he makes really big when he’s begging for food!

The cutest tho is a gorgeous cat owned by a neighbour of dps, she can often be seen sitting outside on the street and will meow and beg for food from passers by, she does cute rolling and will come and headbut you if you stop to talk to her, aboutfour neighbours currently regularly feed her she picks which house she will eat at!

Mine won't eat until he's had a cuddle and he can say mama

Olliveander really!

My boy has worked out that he gets his breakfast when my daughter is awake, so if his bowl is empty he’ll scratch and yowl at her door to wake her up if she’s sleeping.

He also attacks my boyfriend, but is a perfect little mummy’s boy if I happen to be around

The other day i was woken around 4am my a bang closely followed by a shriek from dc (20 months). After struggling to wakefulness i went in to her room, thinking she must've fallen or bumped her head somehow... No, it was one of the fucking cats who had BROKEN IN to her room , jumped into her cot and snuggled up on her legs!! Motherfucker!

fuzzy - yep! He walks past me and goes "ma-ma?" And wanders off again

Aren't they just the most dreadful little shits?

Accidentally And aren't they so dear to our hearts?

I wouldn't be without them @SneakyGremlins !

@amusedbush

Thank you. Yes, they definitely become your furry best friend, but also just like family members (better than some family members in fact!).

I’d have said or done anything to defend my girl too, and my DH is exactly the same about our cat. I’m going to escape to the bathroom in a minute and lock the door so I don’t have to put up with having her following me around. When the shower is running I can’t hear her either, so it’s a win win situation.

Every day I tell her that her dinner time is at 6.30, and you’d think she’d have learnt what that means by now, but no. So much for being clever!

Mine is the neediest cat ever. He sits and cries for attention from DP. If DP is giving me or DD a cuddle he cries until DP picks him up. He's a little arsehole.
He's also developed a love of cheese, and if we leave any food with cheese included on the side, he'll snap it up straight away.

Mine has developed a taste for Lurpak

Oh no @SneakyGremlins mine helped herself to a large chunk of the butter one night. Turns out it's quite the laxative 🤮

I don't have a cat but this has given me such a giggle. Thank you!

I have two. One perfectly polite little lady who rarely says much unless she feels that their is a chance my DH will lift her up on top of the wardrobe. The other one is sweet but lethal. Every morning especially if it’s dark she gets right under my feet so I trip over her. She does this at the top of the stairs. She also has a nack for settling down for a cuddle right as I decide to go up the loo and when I eventually move her she looks massively offended. Obviously she is much more important than any pressing bathroom requirements I might have.

My youngest cat cries for fresh food... Half an hour after I've filled up his food bowl and he's only had a few mouthfuls.
The same cat cries for cuddles or for playtime. He thinks he's a dog!

My girl pesters for milk (she's not very vocal, but cries with her poor little kitty cat eyes!).

My oldest boy meows for treats and has been known to knock the box onto the floor in order to 'break in' and scoff the lot.
He also barges into the bathroom door to open it if I go to the loo in the night. He then rolls around on the bathmat chirruping and purring while I bend forward and stroke him. No boundaries!

Glad it's not just my cat that's a fussy little devil. She'll happily tuck into a brand of food for 3 or 4 packets,then suddenly decide that she doesn't like it anymore. She will not touch Whiskas in any flavour (can't say I blame her as it looks rank). She will eat most of the Felix varieties,but has a tendency to lick the jelly/gravy off and leave the chunks. I tried getting round this by trying her on some 'cat soup'. But it still had small pieces of meat/fish in and she again licked all the juice off and left the solid bits!

DH caves in to our cat every time she sits by the back door in front of her cat door!
He was the one who wanted to give up when she wouldn't use her new microchip cat door because it made a clicking noise as she approached it (she got over it eventually)
He feeds her to order and gives her too many cat treats.
He gets up at dawn when she walks over him in bed till he does
He is in denial when the vet says she's overweight.
She knows who to go to!! He knows who's boss

ps RaspberryRipple63 our cat does the jelly licking too

Oh! and he won't use the hoover if she's in cos she doesn't like it

My DH claims our 2 cats aren't his as it was DD2 and I that went and chose them from the rescue centre whilst FaceTiming DD1 for approval.

Big cat who isn't his spends every night on his lap watching TV

He takes and posts on our family chat channel the most cat pics

He is the one who gives them a tin of food each at night because mummy is stingy and makes them share.

I could go on, they have him wrapped around their tiny paws.

Currently Big Cat is staring at me through the glass doors between the lounge and the dining room, they don't open so I can't let her through, she needs to walk through the big door that is open and down the hall to get to me. Instead she is alternating sad eyes and trying to get through glass.

Little Cat has tried to bury the dinner under the door mat, taken a bath in the water and made footprints across the clean floor and is now sleeping on my lap top case as it is far superior to her bed that is inches away. It looks so professional turning up to a meeting and getting your laptop out of a case covered in white cat fur!

Mine appears to have acquired a new slave today. I was ignoring her screaming at me on the window ledge as she'd just screamed at me to get out 3 seconds earlier when I get a knock on the door from the guy a few doors down informing me she wanted in .
