Cats hate any change to the routine. Don’t fuck with the system
That’s pretty cheap for a cat tbh
My horse insists that I play music while we hang out. She knows it comes from my phone and if I take my phone out, she’ll fiddle with it with her lips until I turn in music.
She loves when I sing and I’m so glad I’m usually there alone because I’d be embarrassed if anyone heard me serenading the horses lmao.
I recently got a lyre and I’m gonna learn how to play it for all the horses
Horses, and most field, work, or food animals, are so dope. They’re just a big version of a small thing one calls a pet. All intelligence, all joy. All way more real than any LLM that might exist. Had one horse that waited for his opportunity to break out and he’d run for a half a mile and always come home. It was his game. I was some very young age child and I’d be out there trying to “corral” him - he was a HORSE - he never put me in danger, he would just feint and run off, and then calm down and come back home, his mission accomplished for fun.
I had a few escape artist horses as a kid that just wanted to be chased back home. It was a game
“My horse” ❤️
Also if anyone heard the things I saw to my dogs in private, I would be mortified.
I’ve started call one of them Mr. Stinky Wiggles and I sing a modified version of the Oscar Meyer song to him.
I love that! I call my beagle my Regal Beagle and my doodle my Rudle Doodle. (My doodle is a goblin and my beagle is handsome)
I love that. Give the dogs, horses, and all your other pets an extra treat for me!
I will!
You are my favourite person on the internet today. I mean, you or your horse. But, you know.
Aw thank you!
You’re gonna be so popular with all the horses!
100000%
This is really sweet :)
I’m glad you think so!
I was just telling a friend about my how cat was so annoyed today I wasn’t sitting at my usual desk. He was yelling and standing on it until I sat down. Now he’s snoozing in my lap, at the desk, as intended for this time of day.
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.
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 rabbit would thump angrily if someone was up after 23.
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
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!”
1030pm does seem like a healthy bedtime. I could use that kind of encouragement.
I know I’m on the Cat community, but my dog is running cat software on dog hardware.
She will not accept going to bed without me brushing her teeth.
Here I thought I was the only one. At about 10:30 he’ll get up and and look for a human to accompany him upstairs for teeth brushing and blanket service. When the humans he finds are a bit slow, he’ll stand in the most annoying way 35 kilos of street dog can stand. I can’t explain, but he manages to convey the message by just standing around in the general vicinity of his chosen service person that night until you move, then he walks ahead of you a few steps upstairs, bathroom, teeth brush, bedroom, his corner, blanket over dog please, deep sigh, paw stretching.
Our cat kneads my husband’s arm when it’s bedtime. Right arm, never the left one. It must remain outside the covers and easily accessible, but not moving, until said cat has decided he’s done kneading it. This usually takes about ten minutes. No one is allowed to pet the cat while this is happening, or interrupt the kneading in any way.
If our cat is offered food with one tin or pouch in my right hand and another in my left, she will always nudge the one in my right hand.

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
He’s just testing to see if he has to eat you or not
Our old cat would snick my wife’s nostril with his foreclaw to wake her each morning.
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.
My dog will sleep til noon if I let him. Sucker.
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
