New bf cat sit down- would this annoy you?

I’ve met a nice bloke. But he’s one of those people that can’t chill even for 5 mins: he’s always walking to get a coffee, picking the paper. The secondary I am out of something he has his coat and shoes on. It just really unsettles me as mad as that sounds. I am grateful he is wanting to get things in for me. But he’s in and out the house at least 5x a day.

Oh, and here's Linney sitting on the bookcase, under a montage of pictures of cats

I was here for the cat too.

The cat wins every time.

Maybe that is the answer. Get him a cat so he can't keep getting up.

This is a genius solution 🐾

I did notice that most people were on the side of the fictitious cat! 🤣

My cat is very interested in the bathroom, too.
In fact, he's obsessed with it.

Marmite is gorgeous!!! (She does look like she’s fully aware of it though) 🤣

EmpressaurusKitty · 01/04/2026 13:54

Kitty’s main interest in the bathroom is licking drips off the shower mat.

She’s very keen on gardening though.

I was firmly committed to TC (Team Cat) from the outset, based on no other info.

Learned there was in fact no cat, hopes dashed on seeing some (un)reasonable cat malarkey, returned now to see not one, but many. Some sitting, others not, some gardening, some in items of clothing. Some haughty looks of contempt for lesser beings. I remain steadfast in commitment to Team Cat.

It's been a wild rollercoaster ride this thread; Schroedinger's cat thread, where there is both a cat, and no cat until you read the thread.

Wild I tell you.

When cats sit down and look at you, they are quite photogenic.

honestly came to say how lucky you are that you have a boyfriend who always sits down with a cat, had images of him carrying one about everywhere in case of a sit down

And I came here for a post about a sit down with a cat ....

Same. Completely let down by the later messages from OP🤣

Mine likes to sit on my knee when I'm on the toilet, which is weird, though I suppose better than a boyfriend sitting on my knee at that time...

Purplerainblue · 01/04/2026 16:07

honestly it doesn’t get better my daughters dad is like this and it drives me insane all the time but we don’t live together so I escape it now. From the minute he wakes up to the minute he goes to sleep or hell
run around for 3/4 hours and then decide he needs to sit down for a while but even that it’s so structured! So it doesn’t change ever haha

Frank wants you all to see how flexible he is .. he can sit on any willing knee

Is Frank’s tail black? Did you know he could be a Van cat!

I was concerned someone was breastfeeding a cat.

Lol

I thought he'd sat on the cat and I kind of wanted to know how that turned out.

Disappointed.

I thought he had moved the cat from a seat so he could sit down.
