If pets were on 'Am I being unreasonable?'

[AmbiguousAlex]

I'm unable to understand why more of my dog treats haven't been bought and also why I haven't been the only one who has had them. I mean they're made for dogs so that means they're only for dogs, right? No other animals like Syrian hamsters for example can have them? I've had none since the beginning of this week, I've tried multiple times to let my owner know that I'd like some only to be shown an empty plastic Chinese takeaway carton more times than I can count and I'm beginning to get so fed up to the point where I'm just randomly going into the bedroom a few times per day to argue and throw my weight around.

Things blew up this evening though! I immediately sat down near the two Syrian hamster cages after I had barged in and before I knew I was in the midst of a breakdown. All I can remember was staring at my owner right in the eyes whilst shaking and letting out a continuous growl that got louder and louder to the point where I thought there was a bloomin' earthquake happening. All I wanted was to desperately get the attention of my horrible owner so that they could open the cage door and get the small bit of treat that was left so I could get my meaty fix.

So, was I being unreasonable to have a massive tantrum over my dog treats tonight? Please let me know. 🐶

My owners keeps waking me up from my slumbers and makes me go outside to have a wee before they go to bed or work.
I mean, I'm fast asleep and having nice dreams about eloping with the dog next door, who I'm in love with, or chasing a rabbit or something and they bloody wake me up and make me go outside in the cold!
Then they get impatient and say stupid stuff like ' have a wee'
I mean, like I can just wee on demand!
I got my revenge last week though when she gave me some roast duck and I shit all over her nice clean kitchen floor while she was in bed, I even managed to get some on her cupboards for bonus points.
That bloody learned her!

I’m only 4 months old. My Mum is so pleased with me doing lots of wee’s in the garden. It makes me feel fuzzy inside when she’s happy. She’s not so happy that I like to run around the house unraveling rolls of toilet paper as I go....and even less happy that I enjoy tearing it into millions of pieces. Apparently pooing on her best rug is ‘naughty’ too. Oh well, can’t please her all the time, bless her.

I like lying on top of my mother’s chest, right up close to her face and staring into her eyes and purring. AIBU to expect her to do nothing but admire me and stroke me. There must be no deviation from this, no looking around at other things, no talking to other people. Eyes front on me me me. As a special treat I might yawn in her face and breath lovely cat’s breath all over her.

DM is such a cow. She's stopped me going into the room my friend lives in (well I say friend, but she isn't very friendly sometimes and doesn't like me humping her, which is a bit rude). Just because I ate the sofa . I think she must have OCD or have something wrong with her.

Also, I don't know why she gives me water if she doesn't want it on the floor. Of course my friend is such a brown noser and never spills anything or does anything naughty, she just sits there trying to look cute and then rolling in fix poo when DM isn't looking. The little creep.

AIBU to think this human is utterly joyless?

My human minion absolutely hit the roof the other day because I ate my chicken from the plate in the kitchen like anyone else, rather than wait for it to be put on the floor (!) in that stupid ceramic bowl that's too close to the bin and to the door where the slugs get in for my liking. Talk about controlling.

Also female human goes nuts when I try and hang out with the really small human, spent months ignoring it (noisy and pointless), now it feeds me nice things and has some cool toys to play with, so we're on better terms. He told me he's up for games at night when the big humans sleep (boring), big humans keep threatening to keep me downstairs, when we all know my rightful place is on the big bed, clambering all over them.

Just remembered, I'm sure this is abusive. The other day I was really excited because we went on a trip, just me and mum and human brother. It was a nice big building with lots of other smelly animals and another massive dog I really fancied a fight with.

Anyway, then a lady looked at me and my mum and brother just left me. Literally left me with strangers and they put me in a cage.

I had a bit of a sleep and when I woke up they'd put an effing zip in my tummy!!!! Literally cut me open and put a zip in. To add insult to injury they made me wear the most rediculous outfit so I had to stretch to see the new zip. When I tried to open the zip with my teeth they they put me in the car (some nonsense about not jumping into the boot - wish they'd make up their bloody minds) and took me to see a man. They were talking about cones and I was getting really excited 'cos I really like ice-cream, but for some reason the fuckers put this massive plastic thing round my neck so they could laugh at me.

I was JUST getting used to the plastic thing when dad took me back to the stupid man who then took the zip out. I mean what in Dear God's name was the point of the whole exercise. Bonkers, the lot of them.

Oh yeah, and now they keep going on and on and on about not eating things that cause blockages. I don't know what 'cause' or 'blockage' mean because I am a dog ffs.

I like to collect hedgehogs. Catching them and bringing them into the dining room takes a good deal of skill and, of course, once I have brought one in and I am observing it I can get a bit grumpy if my brothers try to look at it as well. When that happens I usually tell them to get lost which brings the humans in to see what's going on.

Each time that happens my dad takes the hedgehog and puts it outside on the other side of the fence where I can't get it.

AIBU to think if he wants hedgehogs on the other side of the fence he should catch his own and not take the ones I have caught?

GingerCat: AIBU to think my human should be delighted at getting to play fetch with me? She is awake anyway & apparently you are meant to reuse things before recycling so it is the moral & ethical thing to do to entertain me with the information leaflets from her medication. Wish her brother would hurry up & get up & provide feline breakfast though: I’ve been trying to break into the small bedroom for actual hours now, & he’s totally failing to act on this subtle hint. No use trying to get my human to feed us outwith what she considers to be our mealtimes: I adore her, but she is annoyingly strict about things...

I cried tonight to go out because I wanted to chase the spiky ball creatures. My humans told me off. Have no idea why. I did get a squeaky toy earlier today though so it was the best day ever

Mum must really like shovelling poo into wheelbarrows because she fills up four of them each day. Sometimes when she's grumpy I try and cheer her up by waiting until she's nearly filled one and then giving it a big shove with my nose so it topples over and she has the fun of shovelling all the poo back into it again, but she tells me she's going to turn me into burgers. Should I notify World Horse Welfare? My two brothers think I'm being overdramatic.

My mum won't let me sleep in the bed, or sit up at the table for dinner, she let's me on the couch but that's it! Its so unfair, she let's the other two children have their own beds! I only want to share hers.
When we go to the beach (only the beach), she never takes anything to throw for me, she says it's because I rip everything to bits but I'm pretty sure that's the rules when you play catch . I have to shout mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum really loud but this seems to annoy her quite a bit and she puts me on my lead. She never puts the other 2 children on ropes when they are a bit naughty. Definitely some favouritism.

I have discovered that she has told everyone that I hog the bed.

I have since left her to sleep alone and now she thinks I don’t love her anymore. I think she is an erratic person who needs to get a grip. AIBU?

We have high standards we do. We like a decent newspaper to read whilst we piss and shit in our trays. What does human do but put old copies of the Fail underneath to catch the poo crumbs. Broadsheets please!

Why do they chase me out every time I bring them the birds I've caught?

Oldest Female Cat: AIBU that my humans don’t appreciate my crop dusting them and running out of the room because my farts smell. They’re the ones that feed me! They should bask in the glory that is me.

Second oldest Female Cat: AIBU that my humans are so controlling? I have to eat when they dictate, can’t go into certain spaces in the house because they don’t want me “ruining it” and have effectively banned me from the back garden because the pebbles are like a giant litter tray for me and I like to poop there and encourage the other cats in the neighbourhood to do the same because I never cover it.

Male Cat 1: AIBU to say I shouldn’t have been forced into a mixed family. I had my Male human all to myself and all was fine. Then he met the female human who is alright most of the time but they never told me I’d end up moving in with them and two old grumpy female cats! Then the female human found a male kitten and brought him home too! Then they had smaller humans and I just want my space back! The smaller humans are now tolerable as they often share their tasty food with me. My step-cat siblings annoy me even though they largely leave me alone so I demonstrate my annoyance by hiding and pouncing on the female human whenever I can.

Youngest male cat: AIBU to say that all the food should be available all the time and that the humans should also give their food to me... all the food... food..... drools

My owners must think I'm stupid!
They throw a ball for me to chase and expect me to bring it back!
Now I love chasing after a ball, especially if it's another dogs ball, but stuff bringing it back.
If they want it they can bloody get it themselves.
I would bring it back to my beloved Sam next door though 🐕💘

Cat1: What do you mean our owner wanted to sleep last night? No she didn't. She wanted a head massage at 1, me purring in her ear at 315 and to tag team with Cat2 biting her toes at 0455. This meant we disturbed her sleep perfectly and she was just nodding off at 555 when the alarm went off.

She muttered something about locking us in the kitchen tonight but we all know that's not going to work.

My human parent is trying to work on her laptop and she will not let me stand on it. She is BVU.

She is also BVU to take away DD1’s school bag I was trying to dig into to get out all the lovely crisps

While I am on the subject why can’t I eat spicy enchiladas?

My Dmum is angry with me because I climbed on top of the television and changed the channel by pressing the buttons with my feet while she was in the middle of watching something. I mean, surely if we live here as a family I should have a say in what we watch on TV. Was IBU to change the channel?!

BlackCat: Why does the Male Human do a shouty thing when I do my Excited Dance by the cupboard door at mealtimes? He goes all cross & red & won’t open the door, so obviously I dance harder (& do some squeaking, to encourage him) which for some reason makes him more shouty. MyHuman understands that all she needs to do is start to open the cupboard & I will leap away. As if I’m going to impede the progress of something so important. Well, I might then try to climb into The Wonderous Giant Box Of All Food And Treats, but that’s a different matter entirely...
AIBU to think the Male Human should be less shouty & just listen to MyHuman? To be honest I think she didn’t cuff him enough when they were kittens: he might be older, but clearly she is Top Cat... siblings are difficult though...

Look....look...look....

I tooked a selfie on my hoomans pooter fingy

My owner likes to steal my favourite toys and won’t give them back to me. WIBU to contact the Dogs Trust about her? The squirrel was dead when I found it and it’s not like she even even wanted it - she just threw it away!

Namechanged as outing.

AIBU?

I'm 13 years old. My eyesight isn't what it was and I'm slightly deaf

I mean, I can still hear a crisp packet opening from a mile away and if someone whispers "biscuit" im there quick as my arthritic legs can carry me.

I save my deafness for when it's 1am and raining and I've woken the Human up cos I really need a wee and then refuse to come back inside. It's just that the rain and the wildlife and the peaceful vibe of a quiet street in the early hours. It's just beautiful. Human doesn't appreciate me barking into the air to let the baddies (next door's cat and the Yorkie over the way) know that it's MY street and I'm protecting it. Yes, I happen to bark very loudly. No, I am not a "senile pain in the arse"!
