Cat is Being Perfectly Reasonable

[Toddlerteaplease]

My parents cat has to be escorted to his food bowl. My dad thinks this is unreasonable. I and said cat think this is perfectly reasonable as its their fault if they keep it upstairs in their spare room. I think they are mean using disposable party bowls as well.

cozie I don't think it's lack of skill so much as boredom. She brings them in has a play about, get's bored, goes to bed and leaves it to run around. Once I found one sitting in her food dish and she was just looking at it as if to say "wtf!"

I'm not aware cats can be unreasonable? Surely as their servants, all their demands need to be met and are perfectly reasonable requests.

Well Heck. Last time The Lodger stayed - for a week and he had to live in the basement, not being Seniorboy's favouritest acquaintance - he became really T'd off with me because I wouldn't remove some skirting board to make his life easier. There's a limit!

Cats. You are quite right. I wasn't aware needing escorts was such a common occurrence. Non of their previous cats have ever required one. Fatty cat likes to think she is my escort, and escorts me from the bathroom to my bedroom and then downstairs to the lounge.

This is girl cat. Just prior to taking this photo girl cat 2 stuck her head out of a cardboard box she was in and girl cat turned, swiped the flap down so it hit girl cat 2 in the face and then carried on posing for her close us.

This is the cat that sleeps on me at night. Not near me, ON me. Even when it's 30 fucking degrees.

Never miss any opportunity! The sign of a great one.

Wankercat blocking the door from the study so I can't get out without feeding her.

Omg she is so cute. How could you resist that adorable face at any thine of night?

oh poor boy to have to use disposable plates...that's plain mean

My cat faces have a selection...they have their favourites. I have some deep dishes but they don't like those much....I like them as idiot cat doesn't push the food out of them

I often buy pretty china or glass dishes for them for charity shops.

My cat has a personalised ceramic bowl with his name on it for his food. He had one for his water too but he smashed it.

He happily heads to the kitchen to eat thankfully. About the only way he isn't a PITA.

Bogbastard has worked out that when one wants breakfast, it is a tediously lengthy business to try and wake the large humans directly. The trick is to nibble the ears or pounce on the hair of the smallest human, who will wake the large humans with its eldritch wails.

Works every bloody time!

Escorted?

Mine waits for me at the door when I get back from work (or starts being a nuisance by 5pm) and tries to trip me up until I head in the direction of the kitchen, then waits by the pantry door, then waits by the bowl, then I have to push his head to the side to see how much food is already there or to prevent it from falling on his head.
You'd think I don't feed him for days.

Except when I go for a few days. In such occasions, he eats half his food, then goes and finds me and I have to pet him and stand by the bowl until he finishes.

Problem, i was going to get personalised ones but completely forgot that they can't actually read so they would be wasted on them!

I bet cats can read and do all sorts. It just serves them to let us think they can't!

My dad was complaining that HRH likes to ride round on his shoulders but that he has to be held on. I'm so jealous I loved it when a previous cat did that and wish mine would do it!

....but that he has to be held on....

Says who?

Bogbastard cannot understand why I am refusing his assistance with feeding the neighbours chickens. Or, indeed, why I pick him up and remove him every time the friendly face appears at the wire of their enclosure, wearing his most earnestly helpful expression.

He is just SO misunderstood.

On the contrary, you and the chickens understand him perfectly, I'm sure. Poor Bb.

CatBastard won't eat the dried cat food any more - if we give him that, he leaves home and goes to a neighbour's house,my here he hypnotises them with his gaze u til they feed him - with dried cat food!

He will only eat here if provided with tuna fish, and since I think the salt from a can of tuna in brine each day would be bad for his kidneys, he has to have tuna in spring water.

So wet we go to Tesco, we buy the cheap value tuna for the boys, and the expensive stuff for the cat. He has us wound round his paw.

Cozie apparenly he falls off if not held on and digs in with his needle like claws when he's sliding off. (Even the vet chickened out of cutting them)

Sounds like he has it down to an art!

Little M likes a shoulder (or chest) ride. Living alone, I never shut the bathroom door, so he hops on my shoulders (learned to keep his claws in ) until I switch on the tap.

I think he's the unreasonable one......but he's so cute.

Dcat drinks out of a wine glass 😱

Snugglycat will only drink water from a glass in the sitting room. We put it on a high shelf when toddler DD is around otherwise she drinks it. Instead of jumping onto the high shelf he yowls until it is lifted down for him!

I used to have a glass of water by the bed at night, until I was woken up in the early hours, one morning, by the sound of slurping, as CatBastard helped himself to a drink from my glass.

Heaven knows how long I had been drinking water+cat spit!
