My cat is an arsehole

NovemberNovemberDarkNights · 09/12/2021 17:58

My two were too!

This is the way of cats.

We've had more luck with the really top notch fresh food where they get actual fish fillets ffs.

For the dry biscuits like Lilys Kitchen etc fussy cat will only eat the first few servings, whilst they still smell strongly. So we have to buy tiny expensive packets of dried food.

All cats are arseholes.

Cats are arseholes. My two have taken to refusing any type of cat food I buy them and only eating what I eat.
We’ve had to put a child lock on the fridge as they figured out how to open it and kept eating our expensive steaks, pork, chicken etc. Absolute nightmares!

I have a Guinea pig like this. He is the only (neutered) boy in a group of 4 and thinks he has a harem and walks about stomping and puffing himself up to show he’s a big man. He will only eat one type of kale. Ffs. A “type” of kale. And one type of food. (He does eat other veg etc). He’s fussy and middle class 😆

ONLY ONE TYPE OF KALE WILL DO!!!

This made me laugh.

@Bagelsandbrie LOL at the middle-class guinea pig eating only one type of kale !

Yep.

I feel your pain. Mine are going through a fussy stage at the moment. I cope with it by getting in a variety of things, giving them something different every day and if they don't like it, they have dry food. Since I've started doing this, they have started clearing their bowls again - though not necessarily without death stares.

Boy cat likes ham and sausages, but they are bad for him so he doesn't get them often and then only in tiny amounts (think a mouthful).

NeedsCharging · 09/12/2021 18:31

After much money and many bags of uneaten food ranging from supermarket own brand to the specially blended for them expensive stuff I think I have found the answer for my two.

I buy a bag of Whiskers and a bag of go cat (dry food only as they can't cope shit everywhere with wet) and 1 day they get Whiskers the next go cat. So far 6 months in and they haven't turned their noses up at a meal yet.
I am praying this continues.

WomanWithDiamondEarring · 09/12/2021 18:34

Why should he eat 40 sachets of the same stuff-he needs new taste sensations.

You have failed and don't try to blame your failure on the cat. Outrageous!

Ekofisk · 09/12/2021 18:36

Of course YABU. It is not your cat’s place to make your life easier.

‘‘Twas ever thus.

Leftbutcameback · 09/12/2021 18:38

Excellent catting there. They love to annoy us! (And sleep)

Leftbutcameback · 09/12/2021 18:39

Should have read *they live to annoy us”!

LadyCampanulaTottington · 09/12/2021 18:40

We have to rotate otherwise they reject whatever we buy in bulk. We rotate through Gourmet Perle, shitty Whiskas that they love and Gourmet Gold

Also €45 a 1kg bag of dried kibble for urinary health that we can only buy from the vet.

Bastards.

Frankola · 09/12/2021 18:40

My cats have a penchant for mayonnaise. And cream cheese. As for cat food, it's 50 50 whether they eat it or turn their noses up

cliffdiver · 09/12/2021 18:41

I saw a funny cat meme a while ago.

Cat looking sad:

"My human just bought a whole case of my favourite food... now I can't like that type any more."

This is genius.

All cats are arseholes. It is the main criteria for bein a cat. Mine is generally as active as a octagenarian sloth and moves at the speed of an overweight slug( if at all). Today, in the seconds between me laying a brand new cashmere scarf on the bed and going to fetch a roll of wrapping paper, he had appeared from his cardboard box crypt and installed himself on said scarf, pretending to be fast asleep! He is a Grade A cunt

NMC2022 · 09/12/2021 18:55

Put it on the side and mutter about donating it. That usually works
I had a cat bed and scratch box, both unused. Stacked them together to donate and said "I must take that to the charity shop"
30 mins later he's asleep on it like it's the best thing ever

MargotMoon · 09/12/2021 18:57

Absolute pricks, the lot of them.

nopenotplaying · 09/12/2021 18:58

My dog is a bigger arsehole

He eats fresh beef mince with a selection of grated vegetables. Today's menu was sprout, carrot, parsnip and kale

Stuckhere2021 · 09/12/2021 18:59

@Besswess88

Digs into one type of food like it’s his last meal on earth, I go and buy a box of 40 sachets and he looks at me like I have presented him with his own shit to eat.

Argh!! What to do? Why is he so fucking fussy?!

I could literally have written this. It’s driving me mad! I’ve got 2 on a rota doing this. Fuckers

Yes I also have two and I swear he is indoctrinating the younger one to do this.

He has already taught him all his sleeping yoga poses.
