Cats are never sorry

[learieonthewildmoor]

I sometimes think cats are a bit like emotionally abusive partners, only furry and lovable.
Just brought a live mouse into the house and let it go? Not sorry.
Just swiped the third glass jar off the bench? Not sorry.
I’ve seen dogs be very contrite, but cats really don’t care if you’ve got a problem.
Here is Cat Two relaxing after not catching the mouse and wondering what my problem is. Wondering, but not caring.

Just bitten me for no reason... not sorry

Bit my nose. Not sorry!

Was probably your fault
Apologise to the cat

Clearly. For being in bed sleeping when I should have been feeding them. There are three; mother and her two massively spoilt adult kittens. The girls sent him up to make their case. He’s not subtle.

I didn’t apologize but did get up.

You should be ashamed of yourself

Those cats are martyrs, tolerating your outrageous sleeping instead of anticipating their wants

Oh god mine bites my nose.

I so object!

Just don't sit or lie where they want too, I was going to mention all the expensive food that people buy on special then the cats change their mind but thought it might explode the Cat 'dark' web

Why on earth should the master/mistress of the house be sorry for doing whatever they want?

Did the Romans say sorry to their slaves when they made them clean up after parties? Did the Vikings or ancient Chinese emperors say sorry for sacrificing slaves as part of the burial ritual - be thankful we aren't asked to do THAT for our cats! 😉🙀

@sabrina2008 This topic is all about cats. Can I suggest you post in a more suitable topic where hopefully posters will be able to give you the support you're looking for? You can "report" your own post and ask Mumsnet to move it, or I can do it for you if you'd like.

could you do it please

Exactly!

One of mine threw up next to the bed in the dark, so that when I got out I stepped in it in my bare feet and tracked it across the room befoe I realised in my befuddled state. Not sure which of the three it was, but none of them look in the slightest bit sorry.

This makes me laugh. My cat is a total bell end. Treats us all with love and huge contempt. The dog loves him but always looked hurt and surprised when he's on the receiving end of a well planned ambush. Has to be brushed daily until he decides it's over (bite). Purrs, shimmies around looking sexy and generally adorable so we are lucky to have him really 😂

One of my prior girls chased two grown men out of my house. I had someone there doing work and I left to go to the (liquor) store. He called telling me my cat had gone ballistic, because he’d let a friend come in the house while he was working. She wasn’t an idiot, she knew this was not OK. So she kicked them both out.

Not sorry, and neither was I in this case. They do know better than us, we just don’t always understand their ways.

Mine grumbles at me every day when I have the temerity to get out of bed (and stop cuddling her). Literally grumbles.

Absolutely never sorry, ever, ever.

Our dogs general demeanour however is usually full of remorse, bless him!

I'm currently on antibiotics due to this little (huge) fucker clamping on to my hand on Sunday.

Had to virtually punch him to get him to let go.

We were playing so I don't blame him or hold it against him

@SussexBonfireViking He's very handsome!

ON MY BIRTHDAY I could smell something awful in the sitting room. I moved the sofa and underneath was a very large very dead RAT. My cat Omar had a very bad habit of bringing in rodents and then getting bored and just leaving them.

Thank you

My husband is most upset as he was hoping the bite would turn me into (Michelle Pfieffer) Catwoman!

These are my other 2, black one is Diego, black and white is 17yr old Wikkit, and the fat tabby is Laszlo

Diego brings in frogs, mice, squirrels etc and tends to let them go so Wikkit can eat them.

D once brought in (or tried to) a pigeon through the catflap

We used to have a female dog and male cat, both passed, bless them.

I played a game with my Dd over which famous person they would be if the turned human. They did have their own proper pet names. names.

we decided that cat would be a young Brad Pitt. Just getting along on his looks alone. No need to be kind or friendly. It was just an honour if he was in the same room with him. Bow down and worship his highness. (Obviously I don’t know what Brad Pitt is really like.

And my dog was Sandra Bullock, pretty but a bit goofy. Friendly, helpful and funny. Sunny and just lovely. I do know the actress was cheated on by her husband. So although she’s rich, famous and beautiful she still was cheated on.

It made for some lovely conversations with my adult daughter.

”Sandra bullock has just rolled in some fox poo”, “Brad Pitt has been beaten up by the neighbours cat, and is now hiding/sulking in the cellar”.

Little furry overlords/psychotic furbags. They're so honest though.

You can tell I love my furry thug not when I stand in cat boke though.
