I've just realised that Cheddar thinks she's a Koala, from the way she likes to be held.

Normally a foghorn but today Ginge is identifying as "cat who has no fresh biscuits in his bowl and will Die Of Hunger if not fed immediately"
(He has fresh biscuits in his bowl...Hmm)

String cheese or yoga guru

Ah yes I should add that he identifies as visually impaired. The food in his bowl is never visible. If any if the bowl is visible then clearly the bowl is empty and needs refilling.

TopBitchoftheWitches · 14/01/2020 18:54

All 3 of mine identify as twats.
It's ridiculous how stupid they can be. 🙄

FlyingFlamingo · 14/01/2020 19:29

Like Mojo I also have a velociraptor. It’s the bum in the air with tail swishing quickly from side to side during her early morning toe hunts that puts me in mind of Blue from Jurassic Park Grin

My cat identifies as a lion.He is very aware that he is trans sub-species and is thoroughly miffed about being born into the body of a small fluffy domestic cat.

Want2beme · 14/01/2020 20:46

One, screaming banshee
Two, huge fraidy cat
Three, greedy git

IHaveBrilloHair · 14/01/2020 20:48

Well I just gave one of mine a kiss on the head and she hissed at me, so I'd say a snake.Hmm

Mine is my prison warden, the look I get when I dare prepare to leave the house! And the telling off I get when I come back! I'm sure it's all related to the timing of her food being given.

whatdoyouthinkyouknow · 14/01/2020 21:15

She thinks she's human and behaves probably around 24 months in human age.

She has no clue that she's a cat. She oversees any work that might be happening, no matter what the trade.

She keeps a very close eye and loud voice on builders, plumbers, decorators, any visitors, grocery deliveries, anyone really.

She sways from side to side when she's happy. Curious little creature that we adore.

The only thing she won't do is get in the bath, her father did, he loved water. He also though he was human. RIP.

IHaveBrilloHair · 14/01/2020 21:17

Oh yes, mine don't like me going out either.
They also get very cross when I get in my bed, because less space for them.
It's my bed ffs.
I could shut them out of my room but, ooh noo, fuzzy wee babiesGrin

lljkk · 14/01/2020 21:21

Babies. You can hold them in cradle hold & rub their tummies & all.

WhatinthenameofHalloween · 14/01/2020 21:28

Shut her out of a room? The very notion!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 14/01/2020 21:29

My NDN cat identified as Leslie Phillips . He was very slinky , 21yo when he popped his clogs (he was found as a tiny stray )

He was a Tuxedo , looked like he'd hastily pulled his jacket on after some Rumpy Pumpy with our female cat (both neutered)

He was very vocal and I'm sure there was a Oh hello, Ding Dong amongst the yowls Grin

TrainspottingWelsh · 14/01/2020 21:32

1- a just weaned kitten. Other than appearance, and being a decade too old she might as well be.

2- a leopard. Hunts like one & occasionally glimpsed by strangers from afar. Only spoilt because she trots round behind me like a little fluffy shadow.

3- One of the Kray twins. Or possibly the Godfather, except he prefers to commit violence himself, rather than delegate. Has the same power to get everyone and everything else to unquestioningly obey.

Bluerussian · 14/01/2020 21:36

I had a cat who thought he was a dog and a rabbit who wanted to be a cat.

motortroll · 14/01/2020 21:37

A lazy dog!

Baaaahhhhh · 15/01/2020 08:21

Yes! Amazingly however can spot a crumb on the floor from 100 yards!

TheForgetfulCat · 15/01/2020 08:37

A very amiable bath mat.

TheForgetfulCat · 15/01/2020 08:40

Fascinated by the number of velociraptor wannabes. I looked after a small tabby kitten recently who had a very triangular face and liked nothing so much as to yell at me with wide open mouth while standing on the worktop. Every morning I thought velociraptor. Is there an evolutionary pathway?

WheresMyChocolate · 15/01/2020 08:42

I have 2. A potato and pyschopath.

MojitoMojitoo · 15/01/2020 08:44

Boy cat - anti social teenager

Girl cat - a hat Grin

cricketmum84 · 15/01/2020 08:47

A small and very demanding toddler.

We have the same thing with the biscuits, if she can see the tiniest glimpse of the bottom of the bowl then bowl is empty and must be filled or else she will DIE!

If you go into the kitchen and don't fill said bowl she follows you around batting you on the legs for attention (no claws just a paw bat).

She isn't allowed into bedrooms (DHs only cat rule) but will yowl like a baby as soon as she hears me turn over when I wake up!

On an evening she has to be as close to me or DD as possible and will stretch out up against us so every bit of her is touching someone.

Bloody love her though.

drspouse · 15/01/2020 08:52

My DS, all his favourite foods (cereal with milk, tuna, rice pudding, ice cream and peanut butter) are hers too, and she also takes random swipes when she thinks someone wants to play but they DON'T.
Only difference is he sits under a blanket and she sits on it.

BuckingFrolics · 15/01/2020 08:53

Between 8 and 10.30 at night, he identifies as the most bored teenager in the world. For whom nothing is new or exciting and he despairs of life and if nothing stimulating happens right now, he'll ... he'll... go over here and sit with his back to me so that I know I am the meanest person in the world and he hates me.

At 10.30 pm he identifies as my mother and sends me to bed.

At 11.00 pm he identifies as a toddler who loves his mummy more than anything ever kiss kiss

The rest of the day he's a cushion
