Worst thing the cat's done.

[ownedbyaconnie]

DH and Florence have gone away with his family for a couple of nights and I was so looking forward to having the whole bed for myself…



I suppose technically I do have the bed fo myself as he’s chosen my chest as his bed.

 

[Snow Falcon]

He didn't want you to feel lonely!

 

[ycbm]

Bless, he was just trying to keep you warm.

and I suppose the mouse head and liver left outside my bedroom door was a little snack for me?

But of course. You sound very ungrateful?

This morning I used the last of my carefully stored water (yard taps still frozen) to rinse out this black plastic feed bin after I finished off the horses' grass pellets. I took advantage of the sunny spell to air the bin out.


Came back later to find the bin dry inside, but someone had clearly been checking it out . So I had to wash the bin out again. Cat comes back to check later that I've cleaned it properly this time .

Black cat apparently has a taste for beverages. This evening I popped this cold mostly drunk mug of tea down on the ground in the yard gateway to remind me to take it back down to the house when I'd finished off the neds.





She's dunking her paw in and licking the cold tea off it.

Nobody tell her that that mug is the one with pictures of dogs on it...

Bobby got his own back for holding him down and putting flea stuff on him the other day. He peed on my bed, the little bugger!

The face of a cat who stuck his head far too close to the (lit) hob in his quest to scrounge some dropped sauce and is now missing his eyebrows and some whiskers

Friend's yard cat used to drink out of the horses' water buckets by balancing on the edge, dipping a paw in and licking his paw. It was bizarre, and a good test of his balance.

Today, I had to rush Poppy across town, through rush hour traffic, so the vet could extract a poo that was stuck halfway out. And then I had to come home and clean everywhere she'd attempted to wipe it off.

At least my new carpet shampooer arrived today.

My 15 year old has IBD and quite often misses the litter tray, I now have puppy pads around the tray because I got sick of cleaning it up off the floor, but he does also have a habit of standing in it and then walking around the entire house, leaving little poo prints everywhere, requiring even more cleaning!

This thread is so funny. I read it every time OH and I start talking about getting a cat. I grew up with cats, and his mother still has three. I know what they're like. But they sure are cute. Sometimes.

One of OH's mum's older cats has kind of given up on litter boxes and prefers the shower. Every time we visit and I want a shower, I usually have to shout pathetically, "There's a cat sh1t in the shower!" And OH's mom or stepdad smiles, says, "Oh, yeah, she does that now," and cheerfully cleans it up.

We had a kitten who snuck inside the boiler casting for warmth and ended up with little frizzles as whiskers when it lit. He was the one who got stuck down the loo and crapped in the house when a bit of sand down the side of the shed was full. He was 3 weeks younger than his full brother born in the same litter and we're sure he was brain damaged. It was very little surprise when he was killed in the road.

I recently have woken up in the morning with weird sticky up bits of hair, looking a bit frazzled and short. Was a bit confused and actually worried!
Woke up in the middle of the night recently to find Arlo sat on my pillow “combing” a little chunk of my hair through his claws and then started to chew it off!!
I soon enough swiped him off the bed and I don’t think he’s done it since thank god!
Little weirdo!

How dare you! Arlo is obviously a "creative". Think of him as a particularly skilled and artistic hairdresser.
He has already selected a fresh accessory for your new 'do.
Poor cat. Artistes are so often misunderstood . . .

Absolutely agree Ratface. The level of ingratitude on this thread is quite astounding.

I like a grit delivery into my bed at 02.43, really, I do.

Cat and OH are in my bad bad books, cat and OH are not talking.
Warning description of death, murder and cold dinner
There has been a funny smell in the kitchen so we've been slowly deep cleaning. Was out at the yard this evening and saw a WhatsApp of a dead mouse in the tray under the freezer....'found the smell' as I pulled up in the drive. Got into the kitchen decomposing mouse is still under the freezer now pulled half into the middle of the kitchen, the smell remains and OH is cooking dinner.
I suppose I'll work out how to get mouse bits out from the tray and pipes then whilst fending off the cat, with one left marigold and half a sponge . OH finishes dinner whilst I'm elbow deep in bleach plonks it down on the table and leaves it there to get cold whilst I continue cleaning as I didn't fancy eating with the smell present!!
I am resigned to the fact this is actually probably the best division of labour as given my day job the smell of decomp doesn't bother me and if OH had tried I probably would still have to clean it up with OH fresh vomit as well... He's a sensitive soul.
Just need him to stop threatening the cat with murder as I'm sure the cat will just assume he wants more corpses about and will happily oblige.

 

[Cloball]

OH is mostly forgiven as he has appeared with more marigolds, chocolate pudding and a bottle of wine

Now I'm really wondering what Cloball's day job is.

That would be telling, would probably make me pretty easy to identify IRL

My curiosity wants to be satisfied, but it's probably funnier to not know, and instead having to leave it to my imagination....

Partner is panicking today because SOMEONE (not the usual menace, actually) has pulled a bell off a toy which is now missing and he has convinced himself the cat could, and would want to, just swallow a bell without anyone noticing. Find this very unlikely myself but now it's time to watch out for jingle poops until he stops stressing.

Have you tried shaking the cat

That’s what I was going to suggest

I suggested this, it did not get a laugh

If I could bet money on it, I would put my money on that the funny jingle thing have either been pushed by a paw in under something, or first carried away, and then pushed by a paw in under something. The lower, and the more unaccessible, the better.

But I also don't blame your partner for thinking jingle poop watch is needed.

Bringing friends home uninvited. Came back into the house today, Shadow and his mate exited rather quickly. Friend is a white and ginger cat, Shads bundles him!!

Madam Ratbag has claimed Blue's new saddlecloth before I could take it to the yard. It was still in its plastic bag when I left, but the cat took care of that. Horror.
