So, this is Dcat’s food station. She’s almost 18 - age is sketchy, we adopted her as a stray but a very young cat.
Why is she so disdainful? She’s forgotten her roots!
She has a high food station because of “That Dog” (her words) who is a rescue that loves cats but will eat everything.

@iklboo They are such characters!

Bunce1 · 28/01/2022 21:39

op your cats disdain is palpable.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 28/01/2022 22:00

Our two were found in a garden with Mum and sibling

Mum cat must've scavaged what she could and relied on a kind stranger .
DH gives them Dreamies at lunchtime , often takes them upstairs to LittleBoyCat who is larding on our bed !

Not bad life to what he started with !

As I climbed into the empty bath fully clothed then other day for a cuddle with my disdainful cat.....the one that hates me.....but my daughter promised she would climb on me.if I got in the bath....and she did.....I wondered what other crazy things the MN litter trayers did for their masters.....

I love the food bowl on the pillow all night.

My littlest kitten sampling my morning tea as her does every morning (and a gratuitous photo of his little face) . And my eldest cat laying on my arm as she does every day at 8.30am- if I don't offer the arm she'll paw my face until I do Confused why she likes to lay there, and upon such specific time- I do not know. Just that my obedience is appreciated and rewarded with purrs

Came for the cat chat, stayed for the wallpaper... I went a bit mad at Emma Shipley online during lockdown when I was redecorating to pass the time while furloughed and then on Summer break in 2020... I now have Amazon curtains, cushions and candles in dining room (Teal) , Tigris blinds, cushion, print and bedding, Lost World bedding and cushion, Lynx silk print, cushions and candles all in my bedroom (Dark blue/ pink) (bedding alternated)...

Bungalowlady · 28/01/2022 22:54

Miss Tilly approves. She might stay up all night drawing up plans for her own station

She looks like a food critic at a restaurant. 😄

@Fluffycloudland77

Mines got me feeding her on the bed. The floors too cold for her paws apparently.
When I had a dining table mine used to have their meals on it. Family dinner.
Allergictoironing · 29/01/2022 09:25

I set my alarm for half an hour earlier than would normally be needed, so Boycat gets his fill of cuddles on the bed.

violetbunny · 29/01/2022 09:52

One of my cats has her own water bowl on my bedside table.
She used to keep drinking out of the glass of water I kept there at night Envy So i figured the best way to stop that was for her to have her own water.

Theunamedcat · 29/01/2022 10:52

My cats have there own cups to drink from there blanket on there spot on my bed

Sonata13 · 29/01/2022 11:48

Why do cats love eating on the bed so much??

J-Man looking like he closed the club. I expected to find half a kebab on the floor! 😂

Great, now you've given my pair ideas about the location of their feeding station. Apparently the hall is no longer good enough! Cheddar has designs on my bed now.

Fluffycloudland77 · 29/01/2022 13:25

I also take a cat dish, tin of food and fork up with me every night. It reduces the food to mouth to under 30 seconds in the morning and means she doesn’t have to supervise my trip to the kitchen at 6:30am which involves stairs and chilly tiles.

Fluffycloudland77 · 29/01/2022 13:35

I’m still in charge though 🤣

iklboo · 29/01/2022 15:03

Of course you are Fluffy. You keep telling yourself that! 😄

moomee12 · 29/01/2022 15:11

Looks perfectly normal to me.

Ours has 2 feeding stations, he decides where he fancies eating that day, often he likes his bowl of food on the top level of his cat tower.

He also requires bum scratches while eating. If you do not comply he will sit and stare until you obey.

StarCat2020 · 29/01/2022 15:16

Sorry but I am failing to see enough dedication here to the cat masters.

Keep trying human slaves

MiniLeopardInTheHouse · 29/01/2022 15:44

Are you sure he hadn't been enjoying the spin cycle, @iklboo ?!

Snooks1971 · 01/02/2022 21:04

So now she’s taken upon curling up in a pile of old leaves outside the (side) front door. WHY the hell would you choose to do this??? To get sympathy from passersby I imagine. We have to leave the door on an open latch so she can come in when ready. It’s draughty.

This. She’s in now, on a cushion

Of course she is, and you're still wearing 3 jumpers!
Cute picture.

She’s kneading dough now on me in bed. Doors firmly locked!
