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 opened the bedroom window while they were dozing on the bed in the sun. Completely unreasonable of me - they don't sleep on beds for fresh air!

I put tuna flavoured Felix down when he wanted salmon - idiot that I am!

The clocks have changed and dinner is late but it's sunny and light. Confusion reigns.

LysistrataVickers · 29/03/2021 17:05

I have come in from work and not fed her immediately! DS1 just said "Mum, Poppy is making a funny noise" I go downstairs and she's writhing around the kitchen on her back making the most dramatic noises. Told her to shut up and she has! She's trying to get the kids on her side. Minx. This is her annoyed face from the bed I am lazing on and ignoring dinner time.

Went work and disturbed them playing at 5am. Then when I came home I don’t stay home - I went back out, without leaving dreamies.

Thefamilybusiness · 29/03/2021 17:09

I sat in the conservatory perilously close to her bed, I even walked past her. She was not impressed.

Cookerhood · 29/03/2021 17:15

I chopped up chicken without saving him some. Not sure when he will forgive me, if ever.

Was giving Geralt a wee clappie just behind his jaw as he rolled over on his favourite chair.

DH dropped a box of tissues across the room and was meet with a startled jump followed by a huffy silence.

Had to run a feather teaser under a blanket repeatedly. After murdering it very effectively with the aid of both back feet on several occasions he was sufficiently placated to consent to even look at us briefly.

Our favour was short lived however. A sunbeam appeared outside on the patio and of course it’s lure was absolutely irresistible.

We moved house AND it's been windy. It's going to take time to gain forgiveness.

You wait till he starts picking at the corners and rip the whole thing of like mine did!

Dd gave youngest cat a bath today (he needed one as he stinks) so he’s in a mood.

Pascha · 29/03/2021 17:34

She's sulking because I've shut the back door and it's still daylight. If I don't she fucks off all night and I'm not having that if i can help it.

Mabelface · 29/03/2021 17:37

@CovidCorvid - it's bloody falling off anyway so he has his revenge.

I had to lift her off my office chair earlier because I had a Zoom meeting with my boss...I then had to shoo her off the table when she decided to jump up and lie across my keyboard. This is bad. She may never speak to me again.

KnottedFern · 29/03/2021 17:49

I stood next to her perch in the dining room and looked at her...She hissed.

GloriousGoosebumps · 29/03/2021 17:59

Ours seems to have recovered but she was extremely unhappy that three adults had decided to wrap her in a towel and hold her down while forcing a syringe full of pain killer into her mouth. I'd love to know how the vet manages single handedly. In any event, she ran out of the room but returned pretty quickly and is now asleep on the footstool. All seems to have been forgiven.

Piggypiggyoinkoink · 29/03/2021 19:25

@GloriousGoosebumps it isn’t. It really isn’t. Don’t be lured into a false sense of security!

Essexgirlupnorth · 29/03/2021 19:27

Picked the small child up from after school club closed the door and 2 seconds later she decided she wanted to come in

AlfonsoTheTerrible · 29/03/2021 19:44

I offered him the wrong brand of cat food.

This is the same cat food that he loved for months.

sigh

missymoomoomoomoomoo · 29/03/2021 20:32

My kitten is still very angry because I had electricians here today doing a check and I ended up shutting him a bedroom (with Dreamies, but that didn't help).

Apparently nearly tripping one of them up on the stairs and then trying to get near the open fusebox was NOT justification for my actions

TaraR2020 · 29/03/2021 21:00

I wouldn't let her bring a dead mouse into the house and she had to eat it outside.

Bad Tara.

HuntingoftheSnark · 29/03/2021 21:01

Mine was affronted today because I removed her from my laptop keyboard. Apparently it's the most comfortable place in the entire house to sleep.

TheWaif · 29/03/2021 21:03

I called him in from the garden, about an hour after his dinner, and then I didn't give him a second dinner..

Backseatmedmum · 29/03/2021 21:05

Pilled him this morning.

He immediately threw it up and left home. Not seen since.

Lellochip · 29/03/2021 21:10

@LookToTreblesGoingTreblesGone

I've put a different brand of biscuits in her bowl, and they're clearly inferior, if how she's just sitting and staring at them is anything to go by.
Mine aggressively 'buries' any food that is not up to her standards - trying to dig a hole in the kitchen laminate is not so effective, but it's noisy enough that she makes her point Grin
