I had a cat years ago that apparently thought he was ‘helping’ me by gently removing my glasses by biting the hinge and slowly pulling them off of me. I never could fully break him of that habit either, I just had to make sure he never got close to my face whenever I’d pet him.

Silly kitty! 😹

I know all cats like to get under your feet but mine is an absolute jedi master at knowing exactly where to be to inconvenience you the most. I don’t know how she does it. She just knows exactly where I’m going to go so she can be directly in the way. You’d think she’d learn after being accidentally kicked a few times but nope.

That’s an extra dangerous behaviour they have, especially for old people.

Yeah I’m potentially moving abroad next year and will have to find a home for her, and I’m cautious to give her to certain people for that reason.

LOT. When cats do this “messing around your feet stuff”, instead of normal walking, sort of drag your feet.

The cat has needs, but refuses to communicate them without first performing an elaborate bee-style ritual dance/scream-off

E.g. if she wants to drink from the faucet, I have to stand there while she circles and jumps from countertop to countertop for 5 minutes. If I turn on the faucet in advance she will get annoyed at being rushed and reset the entire QuickTime event

Our 17 year old cat (who we’ve had since she was 18 months old) has never had any interest in wet cat food. At best she would lick it the gravy off then walk away. We recently adopted a 4yo who had gotten used to getting wet food in the morning while he was living with a foster.

Now 17yo lady comes to beg for wet food every morning and won’t leave me alone about it. So the wet food gets split between them - he gets briefly shut in a room with his half and she gets to lick her plate in peace. Then 5 minutes later I let him out to come eat the food I gave her.

If she weren’t old and suffering kidney disease I might not be so inclined to humor her.

I’ve got a cat that does the same thing, just licks the gravy, I made the mistake one day of getting the patte, my other cat scarfed it down no problem, but miss priss sat there next to her bowl looking at it then looking at me like um this must be fixed immediately.

Yeah, ours does the same with the patte. But she’ll scarf down the “Silver Comfort” patte if its in a tube like Churu.

Mine doesn’t like the pate either, I think it’s the texture

When I stand up to stretch after sitting for a while, he will jump on my char and lay over it.

I have almost sat on him a few times.
