To think the least my dog could do is learn how to make a cup of tea?

[HelenaWaiting]

I mean, she doesn't do much else.

@mondaytosunday

the cat on the right has a proper little lions face

A cup of tea?? For the amount I pay for my vast pack of unemployed furry freeloaders, I should I get AT LEAST 3 meals a day, plus a daily back massage.
What do I actually get? Yelled at twice a day at meal times, the need to be an actual veterinary dispensing pharmacist every bloody morning, endless walks as per medical requirements and endless picking up of shit.

I love them all, hugely. It’s a good job!

I was coming to say it’ll be the thumbs (or lack of)! I’m always telling my gorgeous boy that his lack of opposable thumbs hinders things He proclaims I’m his favourite and follows me around but then can’t won’t even share a biscuit with me.

The cat is wondering why the dog is there not pulling its weight.

Cats like I chase off the mice and add my charm and importance. You dog just sit and do nothing.

😂

Chase off mice, my left butt cheek. The only thing he has ever caught is a discarded tissue which he insisted on bringing into the house. He is very much a personality hire. We have a lurcher to chase off mice:

And for the person sympathising with Maisie's hard work being cute, it costs me an arm and a leg for her to have a fucking glow-up every six weeks.

shhh the cat is the boss you have a cat as your master you should know this 😂

The lurcher is the cats minion clearly.

One of my cats just headbutts spiders. Shes ginger so I give her a pass 😂😂

Excellent Saturday night reading. Best laugh!

Said silly Ginger cat

Would you want your dog to make you a cup of tea.?
She'd get hair in the cup , pop her paw into the brew as it filled just to make sure it's hot
Fish the tea bag out with her teeth (cats would use a tea-pot because they aren't savages . Dogs are very much Bag in Mug Brewers) then squeeeze it .

And lick your biscuits just makin' sure it's fresh

You are not being unreasonable.

I too suffer from a similar issue.

every single day as I leave the house for work , I tell the Guinea pig to wash up while I’m gone. Every single day for the last six years the lazy bitch has left it for me when I get in . Shocking tbh

Your cat needs a thought bubble exclaiming “the audacity”

She's a non-shedder, so all correct apart from the hair in the cup.

Also, AIBU to think that Furry Cocklodger and Furry Freeloader sound like dog breeds?

Guinea-pigs though. Always the same excuse about how hard it is to get tiny rubber gloves and "can't you get a dishwasher?"

Mine would totally put the bloody milk in with the teabag and not boil the kettle fully. And probably use the Tetleys that I keep for visitors instead of my Yorkshire Gold.

.

And your point is?

I think here you are being unreasonable . (Speaking as a guinea-pig mum of old , DD and I had eight piggies over the years )

They are such lards , if they tried to stand at the sink they'd wobble and rock themselves to sleep .
They'd be so busy checking if there were any usefull edible scraps on the dishes ( and eat them obvs , they cannot go four minutes not eating or else their bums slam shut ) no washing up would be done .
And they have better things to do. Our lawn was mown and fertilised all spring/summer/autumn. OK ,it was in rectangles or squares depending on their grass runs . And they left behind anything they didn't fancy eating . So bit patchy .
Then the lengthy process of digesting ( if you've kept rabbits or guinea-pigs you'll know what they do . If you haven't , you probably don't want to know )
Just not enough hours in the day !

That she's not working hard being cute, she is pampered to within an inch of her life.

I asked Sybil for a cup of tea (well - actually a Pimms and Lemonade 😁) yesterday...

I showed my whippet that whippet who won Crufts and asked why, when I pay £10 for half an hour in a dog field he just lies down and goes to sleep instead of doing dog agility like that other whippet and he stalked off to one of his many beds in a huff.

Every year I grow nasturtiums , a plant I don't particularly like . because the butterflies like them for their caterpillers.

Every year , our boy (shallow end of the gene pool , good job he's castrated ) catches and eats the butterflies then vomits them up on the carpet .
I suppose I should be grateful it's not bees or wasps .

Yeah well...cats rule🤦🏻‍♀️

My ginger boy is currently lying in the conservatory in the fading sun wedged between the glass and the sofa so he doesn't fall off (again) and his tabby sis is hogging both sofa cushions, so nobody is having that seat.

I was humble enough to feed them half a fish finger sans crumb for pudding after their tea earlier.

I bow to my feline overlords...DH - you're on your own, mate!

Maybe he's a typical man, and is allergic to "salad" ingredients?🤔

(We use Vax carpet shampoo and a nail brush to scrub, post barf)

It's the "Ginger" thing.

One vet I took mine to said ginger cats were born with one brain cell...another said they have a post-it from God with IOU one brain cell...

I like the description I read somewhere of "sawdust for brains" tbh.

Oh, shit. Mine's awake. Gotta go...
