My cat is an arsehole today because...

He jumped up on the kitchen work surface whilst I wasn't looking and trod on the coffee machine power button, switching it off. Arsehole.

Sat staring at me eating custard for ages. Gave her the bowl “eeewwww, I’m not eating that” and walked off.

He's also bored but not wanting to play properly because it's wet outside. My fault, apparently.

My cat is grumpy because it’s raining and she doesn’t like going out in the rain but wants to go out🤷‍♀️🤣

fairylightsandwaxmelts · 08/01/2022 14:55

Mine refused to eat his dinner and just kicked his bowl full of wet food over the floor - I didn't realise and trod in it.

Mine has followed me round all morning complaining because I've been busy and haven't had time to stop and fuss her. Then when I actually had 5 minutes she let me stroke her twice and then savaged my hand. I love her but she's definitely an arsehole.

Mine has been lovely today, but yesterday afternoon when I was doing an online mentoring session she hit me across my face to tell me it was dinnertime Hmm

DramaAlpaca · 08/01/2022 15:37

Mine keeps taking paw swipes at the two totally blameless dogs, just because he's pissed off that it's raining.

SalsaLove · 08/01/2022 15:41

Mine played the outside then back inside game for 2 hours this morning. And if I don’t open the door she stands on her back feet and paws at the glass on the door. Apparently the cat flap, 30 cm to her left, is not up to her standards.

PurpleKittyKnitting · 08/01/2022 15:47

Mine will be all smug today.

He can be a bit of a pest overnight waking us up as he's 'starving'. 🙄

If he's too annoying he gets shut in the living room /kitchen.

I needed to be at the hairdresser for 10am and woke up just after 9.

He was certainly ready to be fed and if I hadn't shut him in, he'd have woken me up earlier! 😹

Toddlerteaplease · 08/01/2022 18:07

Not their fault, but both needed a hygiene trim on return from the cattery. I have no idea what treats they gave them. Hmm

LittleBipper · 08/01/2022 20:16

You know those McCain's Gastropub Chips where the fat runs out and collects in the tray afterwards? Found our two up on the counter licking the tray clean

Theunamedcat · 08/01/2022 20:24

Mine just keeps standing on me with his butt in my face like an inch away dude I can see its clean now get it away!

Danikm151 · 08/01/2022 20:28

Mine followed me around the house mowling for food, 2 minutes after being fed.
Also decided to do a mega stinker in the litter tray just after i’d mopped the floor

ItsSnowJokes · 08/01/2022 20:30

She won't keep her cone of shame on and if it's off won't leave her stitches (from spay) alone. She is driving me potty with it all! We have a new smaller (round the neck) cone coming tomorrow.

lynntheyresexswappers · 08/01/2022 20:40

She played a game of hang touch on my curtains and snapped all the rings and shredded them for good measure

Mia184 · 08/01/2022 21:04

My cat has left the room I am in and gone to bed. She normally stays up longer than I do.

Soubriquet · 08/01/2022 21:06

Mine likes to sleep on the stairs so you have to carefully navigate your way around her. Sometimes she lets you pass without a worry. Sometimes she decides your ankle could do with a gentle swipe Hmm

Oh, my cat likes to swipe my ankles in the morning when I’m preparing her breakfast. Smile

Peed on the bath mat because there was one wee in the litter box.

SagelyNodding · 08/01/2022 21:29

Mine 'investigated' the printer and ripped my documents to shreds...other than that he's been a good boy today!

LittleBipper · 13/01/2022 17:34

Our fiestier one was discovered eating an old bit of raw bacon out of the compost caddy which hadn't been covered 🥓🥓🥓

iklboo · 13/01/2022 17:35

He slowly & deliberately pulled the blanket off me to wake me up. He's scarily clever.

coastergirl · 13/01/2022 23:43

Crept into into the room while I was trying to settle the toddler into bed. The toddler is obsessed with the cat. Kicked the cat out of the room. Cat sits right outside the door shouting at me! Not helpful!

NCforThis2022 · 13/01/2022 23:51

Dcat 1 has decided that royal canin is no longer a suitable food. Dcat 3 has been terrorising the sheep, until they gang up on him. Then he's all innocent face, and I didn't do anything looks.

Dcat2 and 4 are angels. Today, at least.

sweetkitty · 13/01/2022 23:52

The kitten kept attacking the Robovac
DCat1 has been “singing” downstairs for 40 minutes now, they get shut downstairs at night because of 3am open warfare.

DCat3 likes to go out for a “pee” with the dog, he does out mooches about for a minute or two then howls to be let back in, he usually eats a few blades of grass just to sick then back up.
Oh and I told the kitten off for chasing and bullying DCat2 this morning
