Like how my boy dog refuses to eat out of a bowl, and he insists on pushing his food around, so we downgraded to a trough. (Pretty sure it’s because his whiskers are over-sensitive.)
My dog tries. I just yell at him and then he lays down next to me instead. This has been a thing for like 3 years now.
My cat literally expects us to be awake at a certain time and will keep meowing us until we awake. I noticed if I don’t wake up my cat will make sure I do.
My cat used to gently bite my cheek to wake me up because I’m a heavy sleeper
Our old cat would snick my wife’s nostril with his foreclaw to wake her each morning.
He’s just testing to see if he has to eat you or not
My dog will sleep til noon if I let him. Sucker.
My cat has learned the days of the week. He allows us tu sleep in Saturdays and Sundays, but he does not want my wife to be late for work
Sometimes I pretend I wake up and walk for a second out of the room, when she go out with me I come back, close the room and sleep again.
I had a cat who would yell at me if I was up too late with the lights on.
(turns off lights)
He curls up and goes to sleep.
(turn ONE light on)
“YOW!”
Who would buy a cat because it does this?
One does not buy a cat. They appear and you feed them.
This is known as the CDS. Cat Distribution System.
My rabbit would thump angrily if someone was up after 23.
We had a cat that used to like to go for a walk around the corner and back, just so she could show us off to the housebound cats. She knew where they all lived, and she’d get their attention by ringing her bell until they came to window.
One night we were intensely writing and editing some work stuff, and she started crying for her walk, and we told her we didn’t have time tonight.
So she went outside and brought back in a dead mouse for us. I scooped it up, and took us all out for a walk, dropping the dead mouse in the trash can on the way.
The kitten has very specific needs and places for affection times. She is not a lap cat. Heaven forbid. But she’ll walk into the living room right in front of me and then flop onto her side. This is where I am to get onto my hands and knees above her, roll her onto her back, and rub her head and kiss her belly. She purrs like a train. I love her very silly ass.
“I have to go home, it’s my cat’s bedtime” is an excuse I gotta keep in my back pocket. Also, it’s probably true, I have one of those cats
We used to have a cat who hid all night in the bedroom when company was over, which she didn’t like at all. Around 11 PM, she’d come out and sit opposite the guests and just glare at them. The first time it happened, a good friend looked at her and said “Oh, look! She came out! Oh…and she’s definitely telling us to get the fuck out!”
I was convinced that she believed she was communicating telepathically, just because we could read her expressions and know what she wanted. As far as she was concerned, she was controlling us with her superior advanced brain.
And I guess she was.
Replace the word with “family”.
Cat is family.
no, i’ll just say cat. if they know my cat (it’s the one we have to open the door and guard when he/we poop/s don’t get me started) they’ve probably experienced it at game night or something
Your cat wants you to stand guard while he poops? I thought my cat was the only one lol but he only wants that when others are at our house. He’s not well socialized since we got him during the 2020 Panini
He wants us to guard him and he wants to guard us. He’s very codependent
I mean some people also train their pets instead of letting their pets train them lol
You are taking this conversation way too seriously.
But I wasn’t taking it very seriously at all
Mine demands breakfast between 3 and 6am. Then about an hour later she requires that I get up and sit with her, on the floor, next to her cat door. There is a couch near by. But No. We sit on the floor and look out the 5x5 inch cat door window and I pet her until she gets “scratchy bitey” and I go clean my wounds and go back to bed. I’m not that into this routine, but I love her so…
This… Would not fly in my house lol.
Granted my cat is plenty annoying an hour before it’s time to get up, but I certainly don’t encourage this behavior.
The most I do to appease him is call him to the bed, where even though he can, he won’t jump up, I’ve gotta reach over and put him on the bed.
Ok maybe I’m trained too…
Our cat does this too, closer to 9:00 pm, and when we’re finally in the bed, she (cat) climbs on top of me and settles in.
1030pm does seem like a healthy bedtime. I could use that kind of encouragement.
My bedtime is 11…
…am I work night shift
Hey me too. You are not alone.
My cat also has a very healthy bedtime, but I’m a night owl. So I’ll turn the lights off after 10pm, light up small LED candles, let my cat sleep on my lap, and try not moving too much. After sometime I’ll have to wake her up, then we go cuddling together under the duvet. She’ll get up early without waking me up. The best friend I ever have.
My dog has worked one over on my parents. She won’t eat until she gets a treat from my Dad (the appertif, I like to call it), and then she’ll eat her food and go over to my Mom and she won’t leave her alone until she gives her more treats for dessert.
If this routine is disrupted, she makes a big fuss.
You may want to re-term the treat as an hors d’œuvre or amuse-bouche… Unless your dad is really passing alcohol to your little buddy. Either way, she’s being properly spoiled and the courses should expand as her palette develops.
Fair enough, lol. I would call it an amuse-bouche but I hate the way it sounds when I say it 😖
