Cats choose us; we don’t own them.

    There is on mine.

    I just pet him a bit a pull him closer, and pretty quick he’s opting to snooze right along with me.

    Can confirm when they start crawling all over me one hour before breakfast. I need to grab them all and throw them out of the room and lock the door… But it doesn’t help. 😅

    My cat just begs for pets anytime she’s hungry. It’s usually “Wait dodo what are you doing? you’re usually really shy coming downstairs when the other cats are ou… oh”

      Nah, no need to spray water. You only need to make them associate “tshh!” with bad behavior and be consistent with it. They’ll get it.

    I didn’t want to risk my cat getting near the cleaner I was using on my oven so I kept him out of the kitchen. His food, water and litter were all on the other side of the door but he wanted to use his flap in the kitchen to go out. I couldn’t let him out of the front door because he’d already worked out how to get around the lock on the flap. After yowling and scratching at the door didn’t work he started using the sofa as a spring board to launch himself into it. Being a bi-fold door the force moved it enough that he was then able to just push it open the rest of the way with his head.

    Mine starts trying to sit on my chest/head at about 5am. Breakfast is always 7am (he’s diabetic, insulin, etc)… if I walk into the living room I can close the door and get another 2 hours! Sorry kitty!
