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

I tricked him and closed the crate when he was eating his breakfast. He went nuts and is now silent as we sit outside the vets waiting for his appointment.

He just jumped through the window with a large slice of posh sandwich chicken, I tried to confiscate it so I am EVIL

We have moved his feeding bowls so that the baby girls can’t reach them. He has been sulking under our bed for 6 hours now. The guilt 😱

I got up late. I then did his eyedrops. I'm a truly evil human.

Eyedrops? MAAAAATE

I asked for a fancy pantsy automatic cat feeder and water fountain for my birthday so he will never have to wAit for food if we want a lie in. He doesn’t approve

Hahaha. He's pretty good with them as he knows dreamies are dispensed immediately after. 😁 Today I washed the blankets from the living room when he wanted me under one so he could sleep on me.

I encouraged the dog to get up on his sofa when the cat was right in the middle of it proving a point to the dog

Poor dog was very sad and is still easily overwhelmed by the cats and idiotcat knows this.

They bumped up and the dog was overjoyed and the cat pretended absolutely nothing was happening.

I devastate my cat by taking a step towards her, by speaking to her, by letting her out, by letting her back in (she runs away when I approach the door and then stares at me from the flowerbed until she'd decided I don't look murderous).

Even getting her meals is a cause for suspicion. She circles the bowl several times sniffing, and sometimes suddenly bolts for one of her safe places (we let her believe that once she's inside one of her favourite cardboard boxes she cannot be reached or touched). If I sneeze in front of her she'll hide for hours. Sometimes when we're on the same level and I smile at her, she looks visibly grossed out Grin

It may sound like I'm a scary person but I'm not. I'm quietly spoken and on paper I'm an ideal match for her. In reality there is no ideal match. She'd swap me for a door-opening food-fetching robot in an instant.

She's a sweet little thing - in her own way - but I wish she'd stop being a bag of neuroses and chill the fuck out.

Let DD hold him with her death grip 😾

It’s raining out of ALL the windows and doors. He’s tried ‘em all so he knows it’s my fault.

I wore a baseball cap. This immediately turned me into DANGEROUS CAT-MURDERING STRANGER and I am not to be trusted. Also, judging by the face he pulled, my fashion sense is lacking.

Andithoughtiwasspecial · 07/08/2021 06:31

I packed a suitcase. And needed to shut it. He needed to sleep inside it. The outrage now will only grow when he realises dc are catsitting tonight. Fully expecting to be ignored for a week on my return Sunday evening. 🙃

He is currently upstairs topping up his tan on the bedroom window sill. I am persona non grata because I gave him the wrong pouch of food the wrong biscuits and the wrong cooked chicken yesterday. I tried to point out that they were the right pouch, biscuits and chicken the day before but that's not the point apparently.

He's ostentatiously barely nibbled at all three to show that, despite my best efforts, he won't be starved to death so easily, but he has let it be known that I'm an utter failure as a cat slave and am no longer his friend.

I didn't let him eat the butter out of the butter dish this morning. Last night I wouldn't let him sit on my lap because I was knitting. Oh and we've stopped leaving the velux window in our bedroom open (because otherwise he meows loudly from outside it, before dropping onto us in bed from ceiling height Hmm). I'm so mean.

Andithoughtiwasspecial · 14/08/2021 21:41

I put food in his bowl before he woke up as I needed to go out early. Heresy apparently. I have been cast out of his presence much like Lucifer. The shame.

Toesies · 22/08/2021 05:03

I moved her off my armchair so I could sit down; she's very possessive of all of my seats (and my bed). She's now curled up in one of her many beds with her back to me and her ears pinned back in annoyance.
