My cat is in a strop with me because...

....we went away for a week. A sitter came in to feed, play and give cuddles twice a day but apparently that wasn't good enough.

He's literally refusing to come indoors except to eat, staying in the garden through wind and rain, ignoring me, moving away when I try to stroke him.
Of course when dp and dd get back he'll be all over them.
Humph.

I went away for three days and left mine with a cat sitter. They were all over me when i got back. Feeling smug.

When I was eight months pregnant, mine joined me on the bed and weed all over it. Never done it before or since. I feel she was saying, "That's what you get for being pregnant you bastard!"

My best mate stays at my place to cat sit when I go away.

My cat now gives her the cold shoulder when she turns up as she's a total mummy's girl and thinks I'm going to vanish.

She does try and give me the cold shoulder when I get back from anywhere but it never lasts long.

My cats only lasted a few hours sulking before all was forgiven and they needed all the love and cuddles.

My cat always seems pissed at me. I’ve come to terms that I am her arch nemesis.

We had to de-worm her this week so that meant it’s our quarterly scuffled where I have to open her mouth, put a tablet in and hold her closed until she swallows. I came out with more wounds than if I was in a machete fight and she won’t talk to me for the rest of the week.

They’re great pets.

I think if you go into cat ownership thinking you will get a loving, sane cat you are probably delusional.

www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-news/cute-three-year-old-surrey-21242128 This is probably the most honest cat review. A cat who hates people unless they have food, won't come inside unless it feels like it, will somehow need capturing twice a year so it can be sedated and shaved by the vet, and attacks anything that goes near it.

One of mine is currently in a strop because I put his eye drops in (he's blind in one eye) so he's gone to sulk and get attention off the 12 year old who all 3 cats adore.

Mines really annoyed with me because I refused to make it stop raining.

NotanotherboxofFrogs · 06/08/2021 16:39

Mine are stropping today because it is pouring rain outside and when they go out they get wet??? And when they come in for a while I dry them off with a towel and put a towel down before they can settle on the armchair / sofa. I'm the absolute meanest.
