My problem is my cat likes me too much. She’s such a big fan of me that she’ll accept things from me that she turns her nose up at if anyone else offers, and this list accidentally includes things like cornbread and orange juice.
Cats are so famous in their hatred of citrus that it’s commonly used and marketed as a cat repellent. This fucker is over here voluntarily drinking my orange juice purely because she saw me drinking it and she wants to be like me.
I’m honestly pretty sure I could just hand feed her medicine at this point and it wouldn’t even be a fight.
Oh my God, she looks so much like my cat who acts the same way. She’s simply obsessed with me and everything I do.
What a pretty lady! This is so funny. I can’t wait to get a cat of my own.
This is how I found out my cat will eat my flamin’ hot Cheetos. He’s 18 and toothless, but I have to keep them away from him because he fuckin’ loves them
My cat got anemic a couple of years ago and he refused to eat anything for a couple of days, when he started feeling better the first thing he ate was a bunch of Doritos Flamin hot lol
If I’m eating a waffle my cat will actually come and snatch it out of my hands and then run away, not even joking
Lmao, do they actually try to eat it or is it just to make you chase them?
My favorite one was just a strip of jerky, so it wasn’t exactly surprising for mine to steal, but it lives on in memory because we called her name and she froze solid in midstep. And you could see the split second decision being made in her head before she bolted off faster than I have seen her run from the pizza guy.
The cogs were visibly turning between “delicious meat product” and “thing I am not supposed to do” and for some reason that was so funny I can’t even be mad.
No he actually just starts feasting on whatever bite he managed to snag; I have to stand up to eat waffles sometimes because he tries so hard to eat them
Standing in the middle of the room to eat is standard cat ownership. I have to do that with oatmeal and cereal.
Thank god this one isn’t as smart as my last cat, either, because if I refused to pick him up he’d just climb up me and force the issue. There’d be no peace if she realized she could do that to reach food.
I know that reaching paw routine. Ours grabs for expensive meat and …beans, of all things.
Cats have weird tastes sometimes
Ours was a fiend for beans, pumpkin, elk meat, broccoli and expensive cheese. Beans were the most hilarious thing, she’d reach for them a not-very-sneaky paw if you weren’t paying attention.
That’s an interesting combination lol. I had a cat that loved cantaloupe; he’d come from anywhere in the house when he smelled it
Yeah, ours loved cantaloupe too we just didn’t buy it very often. We figured her favorite foods probably had some nutrients she was missing or something. She was a bit of a hausschwein, if we were eating it she wanted it.
Obligatory: don’t feed your cats people food without verifying that it’s safe for them to eat, cats kidneys and liver are really fragile compared to humans.
Yes be especially careful with onions, garlic, anything in the allium family. Any food seasoned with them is dangerous to cats but they’re practically in everything that would otherwise be okay as an occasional treat.
+1, we’re both unable to eat onion and garlic so we’re extremely vigilant about ingredient lists. Watch out for artificial sweeteners too, many of them are outright toxic for cats.
Any kind of delivery bag my cat will have to sniff. Doesn’t care about the food, it’s the bag she wants to get to know.
I take my cat for tours of the house and let him sniff stuff that’s normally out of reach. It’s like his favorite thing they love smelling stuff
My cat does not like being picked up. She tolerates me picking her up because I let her sniff around at new places before putting her down.
My old cat would do this. She’d sit next to you at the table, she just wanted a sniff, and then she’d go back to doing cat stuff.
Why is your shed shitting next to your table?
Oh I thought it was more of a compound verb situation? Like cats shed, cats shit, why not shed-shit?
One of the rituals with my cat is if I have a plate of food I let her smell it. If she tries anything she gets in trouble and doesn’t get to smell my food, so she behaves herself, has a smell then walks away.
I never see dog memes on here :(
Dogs got their own parks, cats got the internet.
Be the change you want to see!
If I offer my cat something, even after he begs for it, he gives me this look like I’m trying to poison him and he leaves.
But if I look away, he will steal it off my plate and try to eat it as quickly as he can.
My dog will often almost put his nose in my plate to check what I’m eating. And then recently he tried to eat some. The sneaky shifty bastard.
