Having sex when cat is on bed

Doesn't bother me, but partner thinks it's weird and shuts the cat downstairs.

Who is BU?

My cat bites me if I so much as twitch a foot so it would be a very dangerous all around if he were allowed in the room. Also I'd find it a bit odd....cats have an off-putting way of staring at you.

No-one is being unreasonable. Both are valid points of view.

I was fine with it until she started holding up a score card afterwards.
The 2 for artistic interpretation was the final straw.

Does the cat have scorecards?

Most people I know with cats seem to treat them like a member of the family.

Having sex with another member of the family sitting on the bed silently watching you is all kinds of wrong, so I’m going with YABU on this one!

The cat will watch. And judge. And when they make eye contact with you afterwards, you will know that they have seen everything and they were not impressed.

Seems fair enough, the cat doesn't care when you can see it licking its arse.

Friends once housesat and looked after my kitten for me. Kitten demanded to be in the room with them at all times. Apparently mid shag, the kitten decided the dangling balls of the husband were a cat toy, and launched himself towards them, claws outGrin

This was almost what I was going to post, except it was the cat of the teenage boyfriend whose bedroom we were in at the time...

Only the one time it happened, but memorable enough to ensure cats are outside of the bedroom anytime since!

It’s never bothered us, we’ve had cats who manage to sleep through any human lovemaking elsewhere on the bed. I might have felt differently if they watched the activities.

Loving this thread!

JustRollWithIt · 10/11/2024 10:16

Nah I think I'd find it off-putting with the cat there. For me the cat would be out. Guess that's because the cat is like a fur baby.

AmberCrow · 10/11/2024 10:16

I’m with your husband, couldn’t possibly even the cat is someone watching to me.
That said we didn’t have sex the entire first 8 months of either child’s life as they shared our room and I couldn’t do it with them in there.
Soon made up for it though and they are adult and very nearly adult now so no long term relationship problems.

Knickerbockergrolia · 10/11/2024 10:18

My view is that if we can do it without disturbing the cat, we're doing it wrong!

What a brilliant thread for a Sunday morning!
I'm hoping the replies do not disappoint 😁

If you can put the cat downstairs why wouldn't you? Do you get off on the cat watching you?

NooNakedJacuzziness · 10/11/2024 10:23

Mrs Slocombe would have been aghast at her pussy seeing any bedroom shenanigans

shellyleppard · 10/11/2024 10:25

@NooNakedJacuzziness omg 🤣😄😄🤣poor Mrs slocombe's pussy 🤣🤣🤣poor thing would be traumatized!!

FormerlyPathologicallyHappy · 10/11/2024 10:26

Dh was the same. The cat had to be locked out.

PlumpCatIsBestCat · 10/11/2024 10:28

I usually put the cats away but I'm more bothered by a dog who will watch and pant 🤢

CandyCane457 · 10/11/2024 10:29

Our cat is too cuddly and friendly for this- the second we sit on the sofa she jumps up on one of our knees for a cuddle, when she comes in the bedroom she clambers all over us both until she decides who she wants to settle on. There is no way we could have sex with her in the room, she’d be all over us 🤣

Dogs' pants are not a pretty sight.
