What your cat hates most?
(lemmy.world)
Birds. Though her favorite thing is also birds. This...can create issues.
Ah yes, the duality of cat
If a ceiling fan is on one of my boys will hide under chairs and couches and basically just skirt around from cover to cover. I think he thinks it is a bird.
If it's not a bird, how come it has wings?
That, uh, huh. I would like to refute that but I don't know enough about birds.
I've a cat that sits by the glass door and shit talks the birds, for hours and hours...
"Hey... Hey birb! Imma fuck you up! Hey... Hey other birb!"
The other cat.
My phone when I turn on the camera to take her picture or video.
🫣 So, not a lot of pics and/or videos?
I have learned to be sneaky, but unless she's asleep or bribed with treats, they're mostly like this where she looks vaguely annoyed or disappointed with me.
😍 Well... let's say... She does not want her beauty to be on picture... Extremely beautiful cat 😍
Naw the first one she looks mad, but the second you can tell she loves you for sure. Cute kitty!
Being ignored.
Cat b hated water. Cat a you could put under a shower and he'd be happy.
Cat b hated nail clipping. Well, about three paws might be tolerated but then it'd be enough and you got the teeth. Cat a didn't mind.
Cat b hated trips to the vet. Somehow he knew and would find the strangest hiding places that day and fight all the way into the carrier and out. Cat a would purr and brush against the vet, happy to see new people.
Taking medicine...
It wasn't that cat b wasn't chill or happy to be around people or anything, he was a big softy, really. But I can't think of much that cat a complained about.
An empty food dish.
An almost empty food dish... My cat starts meowing when there's like 1/4 of the food still in the dish lol
Don’t you know? Anything less than full is empty.
If the bottom can be seen at all that is completely unacceptable.
Kitty kisses!! I always get a stiff paw to the jaw when I go in to steal some...
Cat 1 - being picked up. Usually makes him very squirmy.
Cat 2 - being petted when she didn’t initiate affection.
Cat 3 - interacting with cat 1, she doesn’t like him, especially not in close proximity, which he hasn’t picked up on despite her hissing and smacking him regularly for the last seven years
Typical sibling behaviour
It's a love/hate relationship with the auto-feeder.
One of our cats is called Loki. He's scared of thunder.
Would be funnier if he's called Thor
We make jokes that he's scared of his brother Thor 😹
Citrus. He is genuinely offended if you offer him an orange
One of my cat dislike it when i touch his foot and tail and thigh too much, so i proceed to touch his foot and tail and thigh so much that he will start to bite me.
Fireworks and thunder
- Camouflage (as in items of clothing with the pattern)
- Tall boots
- The color red
- When you open a plastic bag, such as for garbage (but if they’re left lying around he loves to sit on them) - this doesn’t apply to treat bags
- Tall men with deep voices - roughly 6’3” (1.9m) or taller
Ah... the plastic bag.... same here... 😂
The vacuum cleaner. One cat gets really scared and freezes while the other starts hissing at the machine when I bring it out.
Ahh! The beast that screams while it eats! (to quote an old, old reddit comment)
Strangers, especially ones who try to pick her up like a dumbass
Storms
Tummy rubs, unless my wife does it
Mother's cat hates everyone who is not my mother. She tolerates me enough to let me medicate her (she might like me)
The kitten is terrified of my twin. My identical twin. Kitten likes me. Kitten lets me pick her up and kissy her. My twin? Scariest fucking thing ever.
Maybe it's like an uncanny valley situation for the poor thing.
It might be! Twin does live here, so you'd think kitten would have gotten use to it all by now, but perhaps not! Perhaps she knows they just wants to love her, and being a cat, wishes only upset upon them. This is what they think XD
You possibly look the same but smell different enough to be freaky. Maybe just luck she settled on you 🤔🤔
Sounds.
Non consensual belly rubs
The Washing machine. It was worse but still he's running outside.
Cheap cat food. She turned her back on it, made scratching motions as if burying shit, gave me a "look" and stalked away.
Being picked up. She lets me do it if I need to but only for a second before she starts wriggling and lamenting. Loves to lay on my stomach so it's not that she doesn't want me close but everything has to happen on her terms.
