One of ours will leap up and run across the bed when she gets zoomies. Even if I’m already in it. I collected another nice set of scratches from her claws this week. They never heal clean, either. I’m always left with scars that take a couple of years to fade.

One sneezes in your face, one pisses in the bath, and we’re pretty sure the third one has cat autism or some auditory dysfunction as the slightest noise (doorbell, motorbike, house noises) sends him into a panic, which in turn becomes violence. And he’s almost 20lbs, which can do a lot of damage when it’s launching at you with claws out.

I have a cat like this. But she meows in a very long and drawn out time of whine whenever she wants whatever.

She wants into a room but the door’s closed? Meowwwwww-oooowwwwww-owooowwwww-owwwwwwwwwww

Up and down, up and down, like she’s really putting on a performance.

During Covid when I WFH and I had to talk in a meeting, I reassured them that I was not torturing a small child. I was so embarrassed bc it was a fairly new job, lol

Waking me up at 2am

and 3am

and 4am.

Cats are assholes. Still love her though.

My wonderful sweet lady dog has been scooping up turds with her mouth like a hungry hippo. One chomp, down the hatch. Although just recently, she was trying to sneak in a frozen one. 🤮

60lb dog loves to stand on my bare foot with her iron claws. And our other dog screams like a banshee when she sees a squirrel or bird through the windows. Doesn’t bark. screams

My daughter’s cat loves to eat hair ties. She also throws up said hair ties every time. She will go to any lengths to find a hair tie to eat, then throw up.

Dog #1, will scratch at the door to come in. But what she really wants is dog 2 to go outside. So when I open the door, she twirls around and barks trying to get the other dog to come play. Dog 2 will then run over and they’ll start playing across the threshold preventing me from closing the door. If dog 2 doesn’t show up, then dog 1 will run back into the yard, then try again 2 minutes later. I spend an inordinate amount of time trying to get my dogs inside on a daily basis.

Dog #2, does this annoying lip smacking thing in the middle of the night and early in the morning. It is not a pleasant sound to wake up to.

I have 2 cats. They:

*Push the small christmas tree off the stand and/or bat ornaments off it

*Jump up on the kitchen counter

*Dig in the trash

*Run over us at full speed while we are sitting or laying on the couch

*Scratch up said couch despite them having various other objects they are allowed to destroy instead

*Jump off the overhang above the front door and land on the laptop keyboard

*Scratch holes in the screen of any window they have access to

*Attack the air conditioner we had set up in the window until it fell indoors and then proceed to jump out the window on to the roof of our shed

*Attack my legs or stand in my way to stop me from walking somewhere if I dont pet them enough

*Lay sideways on the steps going downstairs at night

*Shit on our beds if we forget to shut the door (one of them does, the other uses the cat box instead of being a savage)

One of our cats has a problem with marking personal items left on the floor, even though she’s fixed. We think it’s partially because she has bad eyesight and so marks stuff so she always knows where it is. It’s usually, but not exclusively, something I or my SO wear or have worn recently:

✔️ My purse
✔️ My jacket. Probably three times
✔️ SO’s backpack
✔️ My backpack that was sitting in the closet unused for several months
✔️ Articles of clothing that didn’t make it into a laundry basket
✔️ The top of the cat tower when we moved it into the living room (trying to assert dominance I guess)
✔️ Rugs (I dunno under what circumstances, she hasn’t marked their replacements. She will re-mark previously marked and washed rugs though)
✔️ Towels that don’t get put up

The solution has more or less been to stop keeping anything important on the floor.

The other cat likes to occasionally pull towels onto the floor so he can use them as temporary bedding or snuggle up against them. You can probably guess what sometimes happens after he leaves them there.

My dog goes absolutely apeshit when there is a non-human creature on TV. At first I thought he was just barking at dogs on the TV. Then it was any kind of animal. Then he started identifying and barking at any non-human. I mean like… I couldnt watch Lord of the Rings because he would bark at dwarves, elves, and Orcs. It’s fucking insane. And it’s not just live action stuff. The animated mucinex blob guy? Bark fest. Bluey the animated dog that walks upright on 2 legs? Bark fest. I used to love watching nature documentaries, and movies with aliens… I can’t anymore, because my dog thinks that these creatures teleported into our living room and he needs to alert us to save our lives. And it’s not like he would even stand a chance in any kind of face-off with these things. He’s a 25lb mini labradoodle. The other day I was watching True Detective and there was a polar bear on the screen and he charged at the TV growling and barking and I’m like “Hey bud… That thing would devour the shit out of you. You would be a tasty little morsel for a polar bear. Know your size”

Sigh…

But I love him. He’s the bestest boy.

One of our cats has the tendency to start puking once every one or two months, and then pukes liquids 4 times a day for a week straight. Another one likes to cry at random closed doors, loudly and often. I’ve already jokingly asked our vet if he would be able to cut the vocal cords. But sometimes I really consider it.

My cat started copying my other cat in that they now both try to eat my human food. The worst part is I’m always worried they will get sick because human food is generally not healthy for cats. So I always need to be cautious when leaving my food unattended.

Damn cats always trying to commit unintentional suicide.

Well I suddenly feel less annoyed by my dogs… Thanks everyone!

My one cat actually whines. When she has to get up from when she’s comfortable, when she has to move, when I need to pick her up and physically place her somewhere, etc.

Like an actual child, when in cat terms, she’s a damn grown woman haha!
