He caught a glimpse of the bottom of the bowl
You absolute monster 😭
Damn, he's so pissed he can't even stand to look at you right now.
I will always "haha, so true!" this meme until I make the mistake of going to bed slightly early or waking up slightly late and now for the next three days I'm gonna wake up to my cat hovering over my face to see if we're making another routine change or if food still happens when the alarm goes off.
My cat will actually start slapping me at 7am to wake me up and feed her. Shes extremely persistent too and will keep slapping until she gets fed. I genuinely don't even need an alarm clock because she is (usually) so punctual with it and so determined that I'm up at 7 no matter what
She may be singing, but no one is listening. Once I'm asleep, I'm out like a light till morning.
Lucky you. The past few days one of my cats will start purring directly into my ear, tickling my face with his whiskers, and walking all over my chest at 4:30am, when their automatic feeder won't go off until 6am
Yeah, but by 6pm you can go back to sleep
Same. But when my dog was a puppy I did walk him every morning before work, in a northern state, and this was literally me in the winter. But that was just one year to train him and once he grew up he became able to wait until after work. He has been chill as fuck since.
one of mine would often be lurking towards my bedroom without my consent
All of the comments in this thread are why I have automated feeders.
Now I do not get woken up at 5am to the sound of crying that will continue for hours until food is served.
Same, especially because all the cats I've ever had have been unable to limit their feedings and get too fat if I free feed. The ones I have are hooked up to remotely switchable plugs that I automate with Home Assistant. Makes it easy to dial is food changes for my little void who is a growing pile of chaos.
I have automatic feeders too, but my cats will just memorize the schedule and start waking me up 1-1.5 hours earlier anyway
Lol no. not at all. a lot of cats go insane around 3 or 4am. Like insane zoomies and rough housing and nonsense. Dumb memes are fine if they are funny but this is dumb and not funny. Thumbs down.
My cats know that I get out of bed very quickly when they start VOMITING ON THE CARPET AND ONLY THE CARPET EVERY MORNING.
My cat starts telling me at 7 am that they need food.
At least my dog knows not to poop inside. Litter boxes are gross.
Outdoor cats are a menace to local fauna
We know.
Animals are gross if you don't care to manage them... and that sentiment scales accordingly. I choose to take care of the things I love; to each their own and all that
Or at least it should show the cat's butthole pointed at the sleeping face
I’ve had dogs my entire life and never had this experience once. Own dachshunds, they’ll never go out in this weather
You'll just be cleaning up the poop indoors because the daschund will pretend to forget any house training it has. Source: have owned 3 daschunds.
I have a fenced back yard and the dogs get up when I do.
You know some people walk their dog later in the day…
I'm so glad all cats I've had have been free feeding and self limiting. Makes it so much easier, just fill the bowl and they eat when they feel like it. I've known cats that that was impossible though. Mother's cats were little hoovering machines.
Hey. HEY. FUCK WHAT YOURE DOING! Im going to eat. Watch my back
Same reason that dogs stare when they poop. They want to make sure someone's watching out for threats while they're vulnerable.
Also I love your username. It's a shame one of the best lectures in history is known for its shit quality. Maybe time for an HD AI remaster /s
I myself own a handful of 5 cats, each one more mopey than the last.
My tiny old man dog refuses to set foot out the door into the snow. He uses a pee pad in the bathroom like a sensible pup. This also comes in handy at 3 am when he needs to pee but is too polite/quiet to wake me.
I don't know why people don't just litter train their dogs so that they can take care of themselves during work and sleep hours. If they have nowhere to go in the house, they'll go by the door if you're lucky, or somewhere hidden so that you have to hunt around for where the smell is coming from while they writhe with guilt and anxiety. Wood pellets are your friend.
I love dogs, but this is one of the reasons why I won't have another one.
I had a cat who developed dementia at 17. At that point, she started waking me at 5 a m. daily to feed her. For her entire life before that, she had always stayed in bed until after everyone was up and about. That last 18 months reminded me a lot of having a dog.
My dogs hate the cold and heat just as much as I do. They only want to go for walks when the weather is nice.
And they're cowards most of the time, but they would fight to the death to protect our home.
Cats are good pets. Dogs are better people than humans.

This cat person forces open one eye to half squint at 5:30AM because the orange braincell is desperately crying out for food. He caught a glimpse of the bottom of the bowl between the kibbles in there, and it was very upsetting.
