Twitter Thread: Fussy And Spoiled Cats Fooling Their 'Experienced' Owners

Life with cats… is not nearly as easy as some people think it is. You may think that cat ownership is just about giving them food and water and cleaning their litter box, but no. Cats… cats are criminals at heart. They do what they want when they want, and they use their innocent appearance to fool us into letting them commit their crimes. You think we're kidding? We're not. Have you not seen that story about the cats who locked their humans out of the bathroom and caused chaos? Or the one about the cat who robbed a supermarket and stole 3 sausages? Straight up criminals. 

It doesn't matter how long you've had cats or how experienced of a cat owner you are, your cats will fool you. And it's true that, most times, it would just be little things - like continuously tricking you into thinking that they're into the new food that you bought them - but those things would be hella annoying too lol.

    Font - Lisa @GlitterMagpie I've grown up with cats, had them all my life. Would describe myself as an experienced cat owner, but sometimes I still fall for their shit. Tried a new catfood and they loved it so I bought a massive box. We all know how this ended 9:22 PM - Sep 1, 2022 - Twitter for Android 707 Retweets 126 Quote Tweets 18.5K Likes MUA

    We truly don't understand why they would do this. The only possible explanation for why they keep fooling us into buying ridiculous quantities of food that they have no interest in is their unbidden desire for chaos. Nothing else explains it! And yet, despite knowing this, we fall for it every single time.

    Font - Sarah Tankard @TankardSarah Replying to @GlitterMagpie_ We adopted an 18 year old blind cat who had been living on the streets. When she stopped eating we thought she was ill, but no, just the wrong flavour of Lily's Kitchen trays. Only fish was acceptable. 11:34 AM - Sep 2, 2022. Twitter for iPad

    It doesn't matter the condition, okay? Blind, super senior, stray… a cat is a cat, and a cat will demand purrfection from you. It's our own fault for being so friggin' whipped for them. We don't have to cave to their demands. But we do. Every time. Because we really are that whipped.

    Font - Paul Godden @GreenManOfKent Replying to @GlitterMagpie_ Tell me about it. The vet wants Ilsa on renal food. She was happily eating the samples. Bought her two boxes (£40) and she won't touch it. Nor the Applaws tins, stocked up in the larder like I'm preparing for Armageddon. Just wants the Sheba tray at the moment, but not the pâté. 11:22 AM - Sep 2, 2022 - Twitter for iPhone

    Font - Binkiemma @binkiemma Replying to @GlitterMagpie_ I have so many cat beds yet my little monster has taken to sleeping on the bathmat in our upstairs toilet. So, she's not only ungrateful but a nighttime trip hazard. Yet still tomoz in Aldi middle aisle I'll no doubt come home with some unwanted cat crap for her to shun. 10:01 PM - Sep 2, 2022 - Twitter for Android
