The answer is "Because she's a cat"

[Amrapaali]

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)

@BeaucoupFish, thank you. He was an older rescue when I got him, somewhere around 21/22 when I had to let him go. I used to call him Miserable Old Git (MOG for short) as he kept to himself, but he worked his way into my heart, and found his purr and love for being cuddled like a baby in his last couple of years. ❤️❤️❤️

@Plump82 - you made my night!!! Absolutely laughed out loud!!!

Aww im glad he's given you a laugh. He's such a funny character.

@mineofuselessinformation

That’s so lovely he had such a long life, hoping his life before with you was happy too. 21 is a great age for a cat…bless his soul
I’m actually a bit tearful as your post was so sad….you’re thinking of him all the time
Have you got another cat since ….? ❤️

Why do you have to drink rain water from puddles, or the fountain outside that hasn't been cleaned out for ages, so God knows what germs are there, or from anywhere random outside, rather than from the bowl of fresh water by your food? Miss her though x

Why do you come in through the back door, walk straight through the house and out of the front door if it's open, only to walk immediately back round to the back door to ask to be let in again?

Why must you drink out of the toilet when you have fresh tap water in the kitchen and your pick of rainwater-filled containers in the garden?

Why would you try to jump out of the upstairs window when the all the doors are open? Also why do you allow me to shout you for over an hour and the second I give up and come inside you appear?

Why can’t I go to sleep?

I don't get it... You love to roll over in front of me in apparent total loving submission - then PEE IN MY BED WHEN I AM IN IT

And count your lucky stars I did not find the COLD WET patch - with my WARM DRY FEET when you were still in the house...

@pudmyboy
She’s on the back of the computer chair. Every now and again she climbs up and settles down comfily. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Her normal position is normal 😁

Why must you drink out of the toilet when you have fresh tap water in the kitchen and your pick of rainwater-filled containers in the garden?

Why would you drink out of my glass when you have fresh water in your bowl? And knock it over every time all over the carpet?

Why do you wait until I've put my tights on in the morning before depositing your huge hairball where I'm about to place my unshod foot?

@learieonthewildmoor what a lovely kitty!

@MrsRobbieHart your gorgeous cat looks soooo comfortable!

If I close my bedroom door, why must you scratch and throw yourself at the door for me to open it, for you to run away when I do open the door?!

Picture of said cat for asshole awww factor

Of course when my car arrives home you should run from neighbour's yard 2 houses away as fast as you can, getting right behind the car as I reverse into the drive. Bonus points if you flop on the driveway and roll around, especially when it's pitch black outside, just like your pitch black fur. Perfectly reasonable not.

ps: kitty is fine, thank fig he wears bells on collar & teenage passenger heard the bells!!

Why do you lie in the garden under a bush in the rain like a poor homeless kitty? Why do you pick that bush, the one that doesn’t stop you getting wet? You’re literally 5 feet from the cat flap and the warm dry house!! Gah ….

Why would you constantly lie on the floor beneath my feet when there's a comfy seat or lap available

Why there though??

Why do you miaow and miaow at the door to get out, then refuse to go out.

Trust me PineappleSun, it's better than the next step down. In the dark. When your carpet is also dark...

Why do you lie next to me and stare at me when I 'm trying to go to sleep?

Why do you lie on my chest, purring and snuggling into my neck, when I need to get out of bed and get to work?
