I remember reading somewhere that “we are the most exciting thing to happen in our pets’ lives”. It’s why I never get annoyed if my dog gets excited to see me.
She’s pretty old now so no more jumping but every now and then lick or nip at my hands for a pat and it’s not because she’s being naughty, she’s just so excited to see me and wants some attention.
I still get annoyed at my cat because he’s always excited to see me, even if i never left. So I get no time to myself.
“You want to watch tv? Pick me up and pet me. No, I’m not jumping up onto the couch with you, you must fetch me. I will not stop screaming.”
I love him but goddamn is he a lot sometimes.
Not to be morbid but really enjoy it while you can. It might be annoying at times now but there will come a time where you’ll appreciate that you did.
His predecessor was a lovely girl that lasted about 16 years. She wasn’t obnoxious. She was my stinky baby.
aww what a little derp. we don’t deserve cats <3
Now that the weather is cooling off, we’ve turned off the air conditioning and started opening windows, and it breaks his little brain that there are holes in his house. He is very upset about this.
Meanwhile, my cat gets confused when she can’t pounce on birds because of this mysterious mesh screen that lies between her and her prey.
my cat is the same. completely velcro. i can’t eat or get on my computer or use the bathroom without him trying to jump in my lap. i just think about how one day he won’t be here and ill miss him so much, even if he sometimes gets annoying now.
Every time I get up to pee in the middle of the night (decently often), my cat hears it, runs from sleep into the bathroom to wait while I pee, then sprints to a very specific rug to be pet as hard as possible on it. This occurs without fail, and it’s the sweetest he ever is to anyone.
I fucking love middle of the night rug pets. Fuck sleep.
Omg I’m glad to hear it’s not just my weirdo cat that runs to a very specific spot for very hard pets. She will literally run to the door to greet me and then run away as I approach to climb up to her petting spot. Cats be fuckin weird man.
Even if I’m only gone for 10 minutes, I make sure to play with my cats. I’m not a monster.
This just makes me miss my dog so much …
If I can’t play due to pain, I will at least do playful belly rubs. They also are allowed to be with me at all times when I’m at home even in the restroom. Sometimes I don’t even bring my phone, because they want belly rubs. I don’t play as often as I should, but when you got a disability you do your best and they still love you.
I work from home and don’t have much of a social life. They’re desperate for a break from me.
I’d rather play with my cats than do anything else. I have to stop playing with them to get actual stuff done.
My dog plays outside from daybreak to sunset. I assure you I am not the most exciting thing that he saw that day. But I’m sure someone will tell me I’m an animal abuser.
You monster!
Or if you can’t take care of pets properly just don’t have them?
Imagine your living situation changes and now you can’t give them the attention you used to. What now?
You give them to someone who can or like in my situation where I’m aware eventually I’ll be traveling constantly I just don’t keep pets.
It’s a good reminder. Sometimes I have busy days where I just want to grab some food and watch youtube before I have to run out again. My cat’s been laying around for 8 hours, it’s good to get her running around for both physical and mental health, even just for 5 minutes.
They’re usually in bed before we are.
Amen.
I wish my dog liked to play, but she’s so aloof. She will just stare at you squeaking the stuffie, bouncing/throwing the ball, or playing with the myriad of other things that a dog should find interesting but this dog in particular simply doesn’t.
She loves to loaf around the house though.
Especially when considering that each day to you, is 1 week in dog years :(
I realize this is a cat comm, so adjust accordingly lmao
