The question: "Why would you nap right next to a comfy, fluffy blanket and not on top of it?"

Care to add any other questions about your cat's contrariness? The answer is always the same BTW (see title) Grin

Why do you sit in doorways and look at me as if to say, "wut?". I need to get past!

Why do you enjoy belly rubs then reward me with a shredded arm?

TheUnexpectedPickle · 15/09/2021 17:56

Why do you wake me up early in the morning with starving meows and face boops with your cold nose, only to sniff at the food I drag myself out of bed to serve you then bugger off and not eat it till a hour later?

Washeduponthebeach · 15/09/2021 18:03

Hilarious! My cat does many of these things.

I know, he's obsessed with sitting in/on plastic bags 😕

Why do you loudly insist I get up to get your breakfast (which you then don't eat) while lying on my tummy so I can't actually move to get your breakfast anyway?

Why did you choose to sleep in a full tray of lego
when practically everything else is softer?

MollysMummy2010 · 15/09/2021 18:41

Why did you scratch my husband’s nose this morning so he looks like he has been in a fight when he will always get up to feed you at 3.30 am if you just call him (I will not and she knows it so I escaped the violence)

Emmelina · 15/09/2021 18:42

Why are you meowing at me and giving me the death stare when you INSISTED on going out in the rain?

MollysMummy2010 · 15/09/2021 18:44

@HerRoyalRisesAgain do you have my cat?

Why every morning do you screech outside the window to be let in? You have a cat flap and a lovely warm bed. I get up to feed you, you eat a few mouthfuls and then insist on waking your favourite person so you can sleep on his bed instead? Then I’m tired all day. It happens every single day. If I ignore you, you wake the neighbours.

Why would you contort yourself into weird and wonderful shapes just to fit in the box your sister is in, instead of lying in the other identical box we bought you.

Why do you like carrier bags so much?

learieonthewildmoor · 15/09/2021 19:24

Why? Is it really comfortable?

Why do you cry excitedly for your breakfast but then run outside as soon as it's served, only to return within a minute to eat it - or not, as the case may be.

Allergictoironing · 15/09/2021 19:58

Why do you cry piteously at me when I'm on the PC in the study, then when I come into the living room saunter off to your food bowls, have a nibble then ignore me?

Heronatemygoldfish · 15/09/2021 20:20

Why do you sleep on the slatted staging in the greenhouse instead of on the fluffy cushion your cat slave put in there for you?

Pudmyboy · 15/09/2021 22:55

@Plump82 your cat's expression is hilarious! And how is that comfortable?!😹

Pudmyboy · 15/09/2021 22:56

@ @learieonthewildmoor is your solo cat levitating?🐈

He's a complete dafty! But he makes us laugh!! Poor girl cats always being squashed by him.

@TheLongRider

As seen elsewhere, why would you sleep on the games table when you have multiple cat nests and even a human bed on offer.
Best photo ever ❤️

@Plump82
What the actual 😂😂😂

mineofuselessinformation · 15/09/2021 23:01

Why would you want to sleep in the crappy cardboard box with an old towel in it, rather than the very expensive padded cat house that I bought for you to rest your old bones in? I still miss you. Sad

@Plump82 that photo is brilliant!

Just thank your lucky stars your cat hasn’t mistaken the tray of Lego for litter.

Which reminds me: why would you choose to pee in a big box of screws when you have a tray of soft, clean litter in the room next door? (Not Sodding thankfully, but a long-departed idiot longhair.)
