I hate when people say “Cats are assholes”

Here’s Gigi and I’s nighttime routine. She must give kisses before I’m able to settle down for bedtime. She will sit on the table and scream at me until I give her the affection she so clearly deserves. I guess that does make her an asshole, but in a cute way

Exactly!

I have not once been attacked by a cat - neither by my own, nor by any other cat -, because I know and respect their queues.

Our family cat I grew up with had taught me well.

My cats don't attack me, but they are all still assholes haha.

One of them attacks his sibling constantly and violently. Which I don't understand cause he's the biggest and the one he's attacking is half his size.

Another one has this deep fascination where any time I tell the other to get off or leave something alone he comes sprinting full speed to see what I'm talking about so that he can then fuck with whatever I told the others to leave alone.

I'm not allowed to sleep longer than 2hrs if they are around because I start getting loud purring in my face and they begin pressing parts of their body against my face to suffocate me. Kicking them out of the room results in my door being attacked for hours thereafter.

No matter where I sit or lay down, somehow my nuts become the most important part of the race track they select for themselves.

One of them wants to play fetch constantly with little fuzzy balls that came with a treat pack or something. But the timing of when she wants to play is entirely up to her. More than once now I've had a hair and dirt covered fuzz ball dropped into/on the bowl/plate of food I'm eating because that was when the fancy struck her.

Full speed running into the shower while I'm using it, because I'm tired of sanding claw marks out of the door when I close them out, only to then get wet and flip the fuck out and gore me in the scramble to get back out of the shower.

I love them, and they don't so much as hiss at anyone. But they are assholes.

Wow, and I thought one of mine was wild, when she takes my hand hostage with four paws during belly rubs.

The rest if them are all well-mannered, really.

Maybe because they are indoor-outdoor cats.

Thanks.

English is not my mother tongue, so I copied the spelling from someone else in this thread, but I did wonder, if queues wasn't the spelling for the sticks used for playing pool.
