People with cats

How do you get them to respect you and your things instead of thinking they are the centre of the unviverse?

My cats are typically self centred and I agree with them that they are pretty much the most important things in my house, but they come second to...my laptop. They just have no respect for my laptop. They walk over the keyboard, jump on it, press the button to turn it off. They don't seem to realise that my laptop rules all and my online life is far more important than my offline life. I just want them to "give a little respect tooo-oooo me."





I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.

Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.

Cats are the centre of the universe, you will never win, accept it.

Don't have cats, cats are evil.

Cats are not evil, they are lovely little fluffy things with sharp claws.

Nope, you're mistake, cats are evil things.

One day they will take over and take us all for slaves, true story!

lol I adore cats but they will forever think they are the most important thing in the world and there is no stopping that.

My cat assumes that every time I walk to the kitchen I am supposed to feed her human food (I have tried to teach her that she has cat food but no apparently the human food is all hers and she gets mad when I eat). Also my old cat assumed I was his property and that no other animal was allowed to lay on me, only him.



“What if I'm so broken I can never do something as
basic as feed myself? Do you realize how twisted
that is? It amazes me sometimes that humans still
exist. We're just animals, after all. And how can an
animal get so removed from nature that it loses the
instinct to keep itself alive?”

-_- you may be right about them taking us all as slaves one day lol.


They aren't evil they are just diabolical and somewhat selfish.
Although I did almost break my ankle again because my cat tripped me on purpose.

My cats also like to eat my food. I have to keep hiding in the living room with the door shut because they grab food off my plate and get sauce all over the carpet. And i've been party to their attempts to trip me up and probably eat my flesh.

Mike, I will get my cats to chase you out of this thread.

lol I am glad I am not the only one. I am naturally a bit clumsy so having my cats try to kill me doesn't help.

I am a bit annoyed with my cat at the moment (although I won't stay that way long since she is too cute to stay mad at) because last night my sister cooked a big meal and while I was trying to get something to drink she jumped up and started eating my food off my plate. Also for some unknown reason she has decided that my chair at the table is hers and she gets annoyed at me when I sit there.

It is defiantly no fun when you end up having to go to the hospital to get your ankle x-rayed and the doctor asks what happened and you have to tell him the cat tried to murder you (-_- everyone at the hospital was laughing at me).


The main problem is how you can never stay mad at a cat they work their cute little charm and make you forget all the bad things they have done.

There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you.
But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.

Be careful about that one though because some cats are extremely stubborn, we tried spraying my old cat with a water bottle when he would scratch the couch and he continued doing it, so it didn't work for us. Maybe threatening them with a bath might help well only if your cats despise baths.

I'm too nice to do anything that my cats wouldn't like because they wouldn't understand why I was doing it and they might end up hating me!

Cats are seductive, they move from place to place without giving a sh*t what they do.. their mystique charm manipulates people.

They wouldn't be able to comprehend their wrongdoings unless you give them a firm "PISS OFF!!!!".

I automatically shout at my cats when they do something naughty but they don't even register that they have heard an increase in my voice.

My cat once dribbled on my laptop.

I was not happy.

My old cat used to sit next to me and glare at me because he wanted to sit where I was sitting. I refused to move and he would go and sleep somewhere else, but as soon as I got up, he'd jump up and steal my spot! Good job he was small and adorable.
