My cat is an arsehole

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?!

No idea that cats were such fickle creatures. Makes me miss my recently deceased big Eat Anything I Can Get Black Labrodor.

The trick is to decant said food into a plate that you use normally (obvs not anymore) and warm it slightly in the microwaveee and place 4 dreamies on top. Take said plate to coffee table as if YOU are going to eat it. Once Arsehole has spotted this, make out that you’re happy to sacrifice said food and give to Arsehole instead.

This is him sleeping after rejecting my latest offering. Pure Bastard.

Hmmm, I think your Arsehole is related to mine.

Try sprinkling Fortiflora on top- that thing is like crack. And also good for them.

Cat has to discover other ways to be an arsehole

maddiemookins16mum · 09/12/2021 19:22

I’m just here for the cat photos for the rest of the evening btw.

Location helps. Dcat1 is obsessed with eating Dcat3's special food which is upstairs. So I put some of Dcat3's food - which she is now turning her nose up at because I bulk bought it because she had reliably eaten it for a few weeks - where Dcat1 eats his food downstairs. But now Dcat1 won't eat it. So I put it outside. Now Dcat1 is eating it because he doesn't want the magpies or neighbours cats eating it. Then DD moved it inside and he stopped eating it Hmm Arsehole.

Dogs have owners, cats have staff.

It is written in cat law that they have to act like arseholes just up to the point where you start to hate them - they then turn on the charm and give you the sad cat eyes like the ‘Puss in Boots’ from Shrek and being the idiots we are we forgive them!

Royalbloo · 09/12/2021 19:30

YANBU - mine has gone through two sets of Christmas lights already. Twat!

BunsOfAnarchy · 09/12/2021 19:35

Yeh mines a c**t.
Not even sorry for the language. He assaults the tree then he defiles my toddlers unicorn blanket.

But HE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND LOVING I COULD JUST DIE.

EnglishMuffins · 09/12/2021 19:37

My cat was like this until I found the only food she will eat, and has consistently eaten for about 6 months now (only turning her nose up once or twice if it’s been lying in her bowl for more than 10 minutes, the poor dab..) Perle Gourmet meat jelly delights. For dry, Harrington’s.

cheeseislife8 · 09/12/2021 19:43

He is skilled in the ways of the cat! Bunch of adorable twats

Sarahlou252 · 09/12/2021 19:47

My cats are arseholes. Opposite problem here, they will eat ANYTHING!!! Can't leave so much as a slice of toast out. They rip the bags off bread, steal out of the bin, steal from plates, and are savage when we're brave enough to feed them. Cannot be trusted around food at all and can't be present when we're eating. They are exhausting shitbagging tossers.

MysweetAudrina · 09/12/2021 19:47

Mine will only eat tasty shreds and then a handful of dried whiskas. They turn their nose up at everything else and it can be hard to find it in the shops.

Dogscanteatonions · 09/12/2021 19:54

My cat ears his favourite bits of the fried food and scatters the discarded ones across the floor. He does it with disdain. I've seen him.

TwoMuchTwoYoung · 09/12/2021 19:57

The only time this arsehole will eat food that is over 10 seconds fresh is if his brother wants it.

My ginger eejit refuses dry food UNLESS its ferret kibble and thrown out of their cage because they are picky about the size and shape of the biscuits as they are 'Ladies' and cant have anything that will hurt their dleicate mouths.

However if its a hotwing from KFC you really need to eat it in a cupboard that has been locked like fort knox because if you dont you gat a large, hairy, ginger hotwing seeking missile in your face.

Besswess88 · 09/12/2021 20:50

They sit and watch me like fucking hawks when I eat which is very fucking uncomfortable 🤣🤣🤣

Ahh so handsome. Mine has gone off jelly after I bought a 4o pack . Likes gravy now. I swapped some with a person at work whose Cat done it the other way round. Costs me more with gravy She only eats little and often and refuses any left food in her bowl . When had jelly it was easy to give her half a sachet. Harder with gravy.

Noisenough · 09/12/2021 20:58

Maybe serve him up a few own brand sachets, the fancier stuff my suddenly become more appealing. In saying that every single cat I have owned has had an arsehole lurking inside that cute furry exterior

MrsPaddyGrant · 09/12/2021 21:06

My tyrant is obsessed with dreamies and thinks he should be fed them every time I come home, he comes in from outside - or if I go upstairs to the bathroom.
If I don't give him some when I'm coming out of the bathroom and walk past him he attacks my feet and bites me. Tyrant and a bully!

OpposableThumbs2 · 09/12/2021 21:06

My cat (the black and white one) rejects everything after the third time of eating to we have about six types on rotation. The ginger cat lives several streets and a village green away from us but will eat anything, from anywhere.

Mine are fussy so I buy the dehydrated chicken pieces from Thrive, take 1 sprinkle it over their food and then they'll eat it. I'm not sure who's fooling who. Hmm
