Why Does My Cat....

    I get up on a Saturday morning, having had a lie in, and having cleaned his litter tray late last night and put down fresh bedding and all the rest, the Cat decides to relieve himself right there and then while I'm having breakfast.

    He is generally up at 5am, and I know this because he often tries to wake me at that time, so why does he decide that during my breakfast when I've appeared in the morning is a good time to present me with this "gift"

    This is clearly a case of mistaken identity. The wife of a wealthy man who shares your name owes a lot of money - all over town, you could say - and the cat has been hired to extract it.

    Thinking you are the weathly husband, he has dediced to pee on your ****ing rug.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    That rug really tied the room together, did it not?:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,919 ✭✭✭Schism


    That's classic cat right there, it's like they know somehow.

    I wonder do cats get some pre-life training in how to annoy their owners.

    Maybe your cat thinks you like Nesquik?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,221 ✭✭✭BluesBerry


    Why have you got the litter tray in the kitchen :eek:

    Put it in the bathroom or do you eat your breakfast in the bathroom?:eek::eek:

    Or....Train your cat to use your neighbours garden :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,556 ✭✭✭Slunk


    maybe its becase you didnt get up at 5am as usual and feed him so he's getting his revenge


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,677 ✭✭✭deise go deo


    Haha, its part of the cats rotuine now, Is the litter box in the kitchen? a simple solution would be to just move the litter box, If hes just going for a dump on the floor more action would be required,

    Have you considered feeding him and while hes eating take a dump beside his bowl? Give him a tast of his own medicne as it were?

    start roaring at him mid poo, i've done it and let me tell you the results are hilarious.

    after you've had your fun, just start letting him out before you sit down for breakfast.

    Its looking for attention or that it is mad at you or doesn't feel loved and scorns you. Usually its a territory thing.

    Chicken. Big chicken.
    Usually its a territory thing.

    That's my take on it too, especially if it's making a point of doing it after the litter tray is cleaned...cat needs to make it theirs again.

    In all my years of having a cat I never had a litter tray....a cat will housetrain itself to wait and go outside if there isn't one (once you have it from a kitten)...obviously there are some accidents which is a bitch if you have carpet, but for the most part I never had any probelms.
    My last cat was clever enough that if he did get caught short during the night or was sick, he'd go into the bathroom and either go on the tiles or in the bath, if he couldn't waken me to get out.

    my cat has done that too, he has crapped in the bathroom sink and in the baths plughole!

    At least a dog won't do that unless he can jump or he is of a certain size.

    Defintely better than buried under all the lose wiring at the back of the TV. :mad: In fairness that only happened once.
    Some might find the idea of cat sh*t in the sink/bath revolting, but it makes for easy cleaning and at least everyone is sh*tting in the same room so smell isn't an issue.

    I seem to recall seeing a vid of a cat using a toilet...can't remember where, prolly on utube someplace.

    One thing this and the other cat related thread on here goes to show is that for the most part those that like dogs hate cats and are vocal about same...it's funny then that those who like cats aren't into dissing the behaviour of dogs, criticising owners for having them, recommending drowning them (in jest I know), calling dogs evil or whatever...pathetic really.

    It's called being tongue in cheek. I've nothing against cats. I've had both cats and dogs, I just prefer dogs.

    It wasn't aimed at anyone in particular...it's something I've come across IRL too (where it was in earnest)...I know this is AH and all.
    But even in jest I haven't seen anyone reprimanding dog owners or their dogs, from the "cat" side...maybe we're all just pussies?

    You forgot the string. Never forget the string.

    Also, the attached file made me chuckle. Then I realised it wasn't that funny, but I'm attaching it because I went to the effort of making it.

    Nah defo on something like rudetube or one of those animals do the funniest things type shows.

    Unless you're saying meet the parents is the equivalent of cat sh*t in a human toilet in which case I'll defer to someone who's seen it...

    I will try and train my cat to use the toilet. The litter tray is more in the living room then the kitchen, better get a hooded one though, we can't let him out since he would drown - we live next to the sea and he would jump in after the fish
