Cats are clever, no doubt about it. But has your fluffy feline ever played you? Because mine plays me like a fiddle!

See, when Spock, my cute critter, was just a tiny baby, he had a big old brain, because he figured out how to make me feel so guilty about not giving what he wanted, that I gave in to anything. He got way too many treats for his own good! In fact, I had to bring Spock to the vet because he was getting too chubby. But then when he got put on a diet, he yowled for days until I was certain that something was seriously wrong and immediately took him off his diet. Wouldn't you know… he was silent as a mouse after that.

One hooman also got played by their hissterical cat, and the comments that ensued prove that it isn't an isolated incident. Scroll down to read the entertaining thread and then check out these fluffy felines that are too funny for their own good.

    This guy was put on a diet, after a few days he started limping, the vet X-ray him and found nothing wrong. Now today after 3 days of limping and not putting his hind left leg down he has started walking with basically no limp. I stopped his diet while he was injured. Did I get played?

    smurfpants84. 13 hr. ago Look at that innocent face. He deserves a treat for being such a good boy. 538 Reply Share Substantial-Tone-576 OP 10 hr. ago He got temptations. And churu. But it's his greed for dry food that is making him not so sleek. 204 Reply Share

    New-Needleworker5318 9 hr. ago My boy is a dry food glutton as well. It has to be the gravy filled stuff or he'll go on a temporary hunger strike...lol. They know how to play us. 75 Reply Share Substantial-Tone-576 OP 9 hr. ago Yes I get constantly followed and chirruped at by the Tuxie. The void just stares at you for a long time if he wants stuff.

    MollyWhoppy 8 hr. ago and oh so dapper! 9 Reply Share actibus_consequatur . 6 hr. ago The tuxies I've had must've been exceptions that proved the rule. One was also the least graceful/most uncoordinated cat I've ever known, and he had a habit of running full speed into things that are obviously hard to see y'know, like walls. (He probably got that from my clumsy a 5.)

    Sunshiny__Day - 10 hr. ago You got played. Years ago I put my fat cat on a diet. She soon developed a gross, oozing rash on her neck. The vet couldn't find any explanation for it. It continued to grow and got really big. No treatments worked. Eventually I figured that if she was going to soon from a mysterious skin disease, I may as well let her eat whatever she wanted. After a few days of an all-you-can-eat kitty cat buffet, the giant oozing rash quickly cleared up. 98 Reply Share

    PlatypusTrapper - 9 hr. ago Maybe it was induced by stress? Felt food scarcity? 59 Reply Share Substantial-Tone-576 OP 9 hr. ago That's why I stated feeding him normally when he couldn't walk well. 31 Reply Share

    Misswestcarolina . 9 hr. ago Yes. Edit: To be fair he is a big boy, and could have hurt himself in an awkward landing. Especially if he was in a hungry daze because of the savage dietary conditions. 47 Reply Share Substantial-Tone-576 OP 9 hr. ago My thoughts exactly. 15 Reply Share

    Allison Who Dat . 8 hr. ago You definitely got played. My Tuxie girl is the smartest kitty I've ever cohabitated with. The first night in our home, I told her "you need to sleep on younger son's bed, to help him calm down and go to sleep". Every night, I'd call her upstairs to "go to work" and she'd come trotting upstairs to lay down on her little fuzzy mat at the end of his bed. Sometimes, she'd beat him to the bed room, was already settled in, bathing and getting ready to go to sleep. She did

    When son comes home to visit, she will not "go to work" any more, because he's moved out and she is retired. Sassy girl.

    Odd-Phrase5808 - 9 hr. ago Look up the video doing the rounds of a cat approaching his door, limping, meowing to be let in. The moment he steps into the house: normal walk and off he struts, happy as Larry Cats are SMART!! 14 Reply Share Substantial-Tone-576 OP 9 hr. ago • I had a pitbull who would put her paw up and limp for attention. 6 Reply Share

    Smoopiebear 6 hr. ago Yup! I had a boxer who hurt his leg and limped for a few months while it healed. For the next 8 years, if he didn't get enough attention, he would start limping but never remembered which leg was injured so it rotated. 5 Reply Share ...
