They're keeping you safe!
What kind of weirdo closes the door when they poop?
True freedom is pooping with bathroom door open.
Hence the song.
Wait, what's the song?
POOOOOPING WITH THE BAAAATTTHROOOM DOOOOOOR OOOOOOPENNNNNNN!
I ASKED FOR THE SONG WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME?!?
What kind of weirdo poops in bathrooms
Just shit on the floor like the other wizards
Haha, I've gotten so used to leaving the door open I forget to close it when guests come over. And have make a mad dash to close it when I finally remember.
I don't see why I wouldn't close it tbh.
So the cats can come in and help
I would be pretty scared. Where did those cats come from?!?
Sometimes they can crawl in through the window
They're trying to kill my allergic ass
I've also got a spare one if you want
This, but for my dogs.
In their defense, I am often present for their bathroom time.
"The food bowl is empty! IT'S EMPTYYYYYYY!!!!"
Food bowl:
Some cats don't like to put their faces in bowls. It pushes on their whiskers, which repeated daily can cause them pain or irritation. That's why they refuse to eat anything but the center of the bowl, where the pressure on their whiskers is the least
Try feeding them on a small plate or shallow bowl
(You might also see cats pawing their food onto the floor, then eating it. Same reason)
Wake up, people. Whisker fatigue is REAL.
I do a really shallow bowl and my cat leaves me alone until the kibble is completely gone. Crumbs and all.
I wish mine were the same. Mine just make more mess and still ask ffor more when the centre is empty…
Sounds like big cat propaganda to me.
Is it really though? My cat puts its whole head in a jar or whatever to get to a drop of water and also constantly rubs cheeks and thus whiskers against absolutely everything
I have a shallow dish for my cat and he still does this... He just doesn't believe seeing the bottom is natural lol.
(Before anyone says anything yes the dish is flat, I bought it for my hedgehog to eat without having to clamber and then had to swap their dishes when he discovered the shallow dish was light enough for him to toss around for fun lol)
my cats just dumb and can't figure out that there's more on the other 1/4 of the bowl under her chin. If I rotate the bowl she'll start nomming but by herself she refuses to walk to the other side of the bowl. I've just accepted that it's part of our routine that it's one of those 'eternal soups' where you keep adding more and I'm sure it's all gone but like what if there's just a bit of kibble from 3 months ago at the bottom
We have an incredibly verbal cat. He will respond to his name. He will announce himself in every single room he enters. He will continue to announce himself until he is acknowledged.
mine does this non-verbally; he'll wait at the entrance to a room and wait for you to acknowledge him either through eye contact or voice and then; and only then; he'll enter the room and usually with a tiny squeak of approval.
Vampire cat
I love polite cats
I wish I knew teaching a cat to speak was forbidden knowledge. She wakes me up at night just to let me know she claimed 80% of the bed, or the bottom of the bowl is visible.
Saying hi while passing each other is pretty cool though.
aww my cat will announce herself if you enter the room she's in, until you acknowledge her. she's also tiny and when she meows it sounds like a creaky door lmao
Fry likes to sit in the bathroom and scream at my wife immediately after she turns the shower off. He will continue to do so until she opens the curtain and he can get in and play in the water. Fry does not do this to anyone else and in fact let's you know his immense disappointment when you open the shower curtain and you are not my wife.
Or they heard a noise and are investigating their territory.
But yeah. I definitely get the warm fuzzies when my little goblin wanders up from her living room tree to her office tree to hang out with me.
It's true love I tell you
When I had cats, they would sometimes climb into my pants/boxers between my legs on the ground like some kind of cat hammock. Thankfully I wash my ass.
my cat:
Hey can opener, want to pet my belly?
FUCK YOU DIE
If you're not aware, a cat exposing their belly to you is a sign of trust, as it is their most vulnerable area. Touching their belly when they do that betrays that trust, which is why they attack you. It is not an invitation to touch their belly.
Unless it is an invitation. Four of mine love and ask for belly rubs, the fifth will seriously bite you. A&E seriously!
It depends on the cat, but most of the time it isn't.
Yeah, it depends on the cat but in my experience 60% of cats love it, 20% really love it, and 20% will put you in hospital.
Scientists: "Your cohort is small and your study is flawed!"
My cat is so confusing.
He lets my wife rub his belly and loves it, but he doesn’t let me. He then follows me around everywhere all day every day, and he always wants to sleep near me.
I play with him a lot, so I think sometimes it’s a “come play with me” and sometimes he thinks I’m going to play with him if I pet his belly, so he gets bitey.
