I loved visiting a friend's house and their cat was leaving their bedroom, meowed at me to follow him so I did, and he guided me downstairs to the food bowl. When he detected I was confused he then led me further to the cupboard where his kibble was kept, and waited for me to feed him. I did not feel like I had the power in that situation 😅 more like a barely competent servant

he's fairly certain I'm just not applying myself properly here.

Just look out at the night, then look at the cat. Yawn. Lick the back of your hand, smooth your hair down with it, and go take a nap. The cat will understand.

My dog does this. She knows that I can control the temperature inside. She knows I can control the wind (ceiling fan). She knows I can summon rain in some instances (showers).

Sometimes when it rains she acts like she wants a walk and we get suited up and I open the door and she stands there at the threshold and looks at me like I am dumb because I won't shut the rain down so we can walk.

I miss this so much. I would hop up from the couch and say “Yes my love! Show me your cat need!” And she would. 💖

My cat luckily never did this. I was smacked, when he decided it was time for food, but he never wanted help. I think he perceived me as his hostage or something like that.

Good times, miss my little meany.

Consider this even moreso if you have a television in the house. "Silly cat, I can't bring the sun and birds back to the porch!" you say, and then turn on the magic window to a realm of sunshine and animals at any hour of the day.

It's bad enough that I'm a disappointment to my parents, but now you're positing that I'm a disappointment to my cat too? How much more do you think I can take?!

They see you changing channels on YOUR special window all the time

I had a cat that would want to go out on a rainy day, so I'd open the back door and show him the rain. That wouldn't bother him at all, he'd just walk to the front door.

It wasn't until I opened the front door, and showed him it was raining our there, too, that he look dejected.

One winter day my cat led me to the door and demanded I open it. So I did, and it was cold and there was a couple of inches of snow on the ground. She put one paw in the snow and looked back like I was the ultimate betrayer. Her meow was clearly 'wrong outside, human' and she walked away (back into the house).

I'm terrible at understanding what my cat is communicating. She'll meow at me, wait for me, lead me somewhere and flop on her side so it's clearly a request but for what?

One of the outsides gets so mad at me when it rains. It’s not just that it happened and I can make it stop (?), it’s like it’s my fault specifically that it started.

The most ridiculous part is that she refuses to come inside despite our efforts. We’re trying!

My cat blames me for autumn and winter. She'll look at me like "Why did you turn summer off? I was enjoying that. Fix it!" She'll do that every year for some time when the weather turns cold and autumn rains starts.

Cat's think we are wizards, just very incompetent ones.

My grandfather's cat opened doors, turned on the lights, opened the faucet and flushed the WC.

Our childhood cats always longed for the door to summer.

My birds like this with storms. He bellyaches like. Turn that storm off now!

This is adorable

Whole bowl of food but they are going to starve because there is a tiny square bajillameter of the bottom showing right in the center where the most food has been eaten.
