How have you devastated your cat today?

[Mabelface]

I've put privacy film on the front room windows and he can't watch the world go by any more. He's sulking.

My Mum was desperate too but she has always remained top of Silkiecat's most hated list and still remains there at 16 years old. She is hissed at, swiped at and even a small dog in the house have been more tolerated by Silkiecat who just sat and watched it. Not sure why, maybe as she has a cat though Silkiecat also hates not being the centre of attention from us. We thought she maybe ill a year ago as she complained so much in the night (basically wants three meals at night and staff on call and refuses to move from dining room) but £1,000 of vets bills later nothing found.

Sorry you lost your cat Furries Do you have a cat at the moment?

I am very scared...very very scared.

I had to clip QueenofAllCats claws yesterday. Her claws grow so fast and a couple of them will grow into her precious toebeans if they don't get snipped, just in case anyone thinks I am a mad CatManicurist with nothing better to do with my time.

I was braced (sleeves up, specs off, nail clips at the ready, treat concealed in pocket) and had recruited ds2, her favourite as assistant, he was braced (heavyweight hoody on, sleeves pulled down to protect arms, firm grip under cat armpits and a decent hold of back feet)
DH was sitting on the sofa pretending not to be involved at all to avoid any punishments!

DS2 hoiked gently enticed her out of the basket in the sunny windowsill and she purred the whole time, presented her little perfect toebeans for me to snip her claws like a rich old lady having a manicure... and then graciously accepted a sizeable amount of poached chicken from me

Usually she fights like a demon no matter who holds her and then excommunicates the lot of us for at least a week. It's a genuine Easter Miracle.

@Silkiescat - thank you, he was definitely my soul cat, not been an easy year (he was PTS 5 days before lockdown 1).

I still have this little cuties, his younger brother. He’s a total comedian and always makes me laugh. His main complaint with me is that, after 11 years, I still haven’t mastered control of the weather - he’s very vocal about my failing in this regard 🤣

Oops, forgot photos!

🤦🏻‍♀️

He is so beautiful Furries and he is right you do need to control the weather, that magnificient fluff really shouldn't get wet.

Oh @Furries he's a babe, that face! I love your description as a comedian - Kloppy has the same demeanour but I couldn't find the right word!

@LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow she's plotting your demise. The purring is all a cover.

Not opening the door to let him out into the snow, only for him to turn tail in high dudgeon when he feels the cold air hit his nose and he decides his fluffy bed is a better option.

I won't let him out now, in the dark to play

He's alternating gazing miserably at the window and howling at me I'm watching TV with subtitles

I didn't share my chicken with them. They don't like chicken!

@silkies - ha, you’re right. Funnily enough, one of my nicknames for him is Mr Floofy (not a spelling mistake!)

@purrswhileheeats - it sums him up perfectly, he really is a joker. Pictures needed of your comedian please!

I picked up a takeaway roast from local pub yesterday to take over to my mum as a treat. Her cat sat and stared at me the whole time, proper big, unflinching, hypnotist eyes.

Finally caved and broke off a tiny piece to put on the floor for her - she stalked off in disgust 😂

I’m awake with dd and I haven’t fed catface yet. She’s in dds room with me meowing for her breakfast. And keeping Dd awake.

Catface is adamant she’s absolutely going to starve this time. Honest. She is. Definetly.

I wouldn’t give her a bite of my pear. There was something on the mantelpiece which stopped her jumping on to it to stare at the dreamies bag until someone cracks and gives her some. I was punished by her sleeping on top of me again. She weight almost nothing normally but when she plants herself on me in bed she increases her weight somehow to about five stone.

I got in from work last night and asked if he needed feeding. DH said no I’ve fed him. Cat couldn’t believe I’d accept DH’s lies.

This morning, apparently I was unreasonable to shout his name and jump when he stomped on my bladder when I was just waking up.

I turned down his request for a third breakfast. There were paws.

So much cruelty and emotional abuse on this thread! It is to weep.

In other news: AlfonsoCat is shrieking the house down because he is bored and doesn't want to go outside or to play with any of his 23 toys.

So ... cats are evil or just mental? I’ve had many many cats in my time.

They have all (to a cat) been odd little furry buggers...

I’m not working this week and she’s very upset. She had to sit on my keyboard on my desk all by herself, even though I wasn’t there to annoy. I went out for a walk and got a huge lecture about not telling her where I was going when I got back.

I locked her in my study to protect her from the grandkids. This was an overnight stay which meant she couldn’t sleep in our bedroom as usual and claw my back or arm or whatever limb has strayed from the safety of our bedding, when she wants her head scratched.

I fear she may never recover from the indignity

Let me count the ways.

Biggest misdemeanour of the day was introducing 3 new pet chickens. Cat is disgusted and sulking!

He didn't approve of the food selection. This is not my cat

I failed to open the lounge doors and set up the room for the day (open curtains, move scratching post to bird watching position, plump cat beds) when I went downstairs first thing to feed his Lordship make a cup of tea.

Meaningful glances have been exchanged between the 3 cats. I get the strong sense that they aren't so much cross as extremely disappointed in me....
