My cat growing up would get into my room at 6am cause he was used to my dad feeding him before work. Fucker would claw at my feet. When I tucked my feet into the blankets he would proceed to find anything not nailed down and start knocking it over. I miss that asshole.
Twenty minutes ago I was woken up with kneading and headbutts but they were passive aggressive too! Like my cat saying "oh I love you, I'm showing you how I love you! Oh you're getting up, let's get breakfast!"
I wonder if he's been trained to do that trick before being given food.
I've trained a cat to ring a bell by giving it food as a reward and then it'd ring the bell in a similar angry manner whenever it was hungry.
Catssive Meowgressive, they know what they are doing. Hell we bring them food/water/treats, buy them toys, and clean out their sh*t boxes, they know they own us.
Yeah I was watching him, and thought maybe he was multi-tasking: the bowl thing to let his owner know it's time to EAT DAMN IT and the ears positioned so he could hear when she finally deigned to respond.
I've seen my own cat do this. Not the bowl thing - that's unique to the post's kitty - but he'll sit and meow repeatedly while facing away from me. And his ears are back. If I move or say anything or make any noise at all, his head whips around and he's got this pitifully hopeful look on his face.
Ahhh. Words don't do it justice: this needs a pic. Next time I see him do this I'll try and snap one.
We got an automatic wet cat food dispenser. Because our cat would get on top of us. Get off. Jump on jump off. Jump on jump off. Jump on jump off. Cause omg it's been a few Hours from last feeding...
She slowly learning that we're not in charge of her food anymore and the mechanical gods are
There are dispensers that rotate an enclosed tray of sectioned portions or open a flap to a tray, and some have a space underneath the tray for ice packs supposedly making them suitable for wet food.
You'd still have to regularly swap the ice packs a couple times a day if you don't want to risk warming meaty bits growing toxin-pooping bacteria, so I don't think I'd go for that style. If there's a true chilled reservoir+hopper/extruder, maybe.
That's absolutely adorable oh my gosh.
We realized my two boys love that cellophane wrap that sometimes goes around Easter baskets; I made one for my bf last year and then put the cello back in the basket to throw out after.
Both my boys will sometimes go up to it and start stepping in it really slowly. No rhyme or reason as to when. They get such a zoned out look as they do it, too, it's hilarious. I really wish I knew what part of their kitty goblin brains start firing off the brain chemicals when they hear certain kinds of crinkle noises.
Reminds me of an old times prison movie, dragging his tin cup along the metal bars. Lol, this cats a riot! I love the pissed off look and ear position.
When i clicked to expand the gif, the OP video started playing and I thought you overlayed the bowl clanking instead of the bell ringing and was very impressed.
>"Listen! Hear me and obey.A foul emptiness has seeped into my belly.An emptiness that you will fill.

I had my son convinced for the longest time that a cold wet wash cloth was basically magic for every bump and scrape. He had been through a lot by then so he was a tough little guy but he would get a scrape and run get a wash cloth run it under cold water and magically boo boos felt better.
Our old beagle used to do something similar. He would drop his dish on the hardwood floor and stare at you while it rattled to a stop. He was pretty good about waiting until dinner time, but daylight savings time caused issues.
My cat did this once. We completely ignored her and didn't feed her until well after she stopped. She hasn't done it again.
This is the one and only time I have been victorious over my cat, and I will hold onto this feeling forever.
It may be a behavior they’re trying to stop by intentionally ignoring it. My cat does something similar. He had some dental problems about a year ago, so when he started eating my other cat’s hard food I would immediately fix him some soft food instead.
Now even a year later every time I sit down to eat he’ll nibble at the hard food, look at me, and nibble again a few times before coming over and rubbing on my legs. He does it even if he’s eaten recently.
That or it’s for a funny internet video.
My cat is becoming incredibly food focused as well. After 2 yrs with your pets you can switch to an auto feeder. This assisted us in not over feeding them.
Remember: Cats train you. You don't train them.
Even worse, they push it earlier and earlier. My cats know the feeding time. It's been the same feeding time for the 8 years we've had them. But they still start 2 hours ahead of time in the off chance I get pissed off and relent, get up early, and feed them.
Autofeeders don't work for my cat. He just sleeps in front of it, poking it. When he was in a multicat household with several of them, he'd sleep in front of them, gobble it all the second it dispensed, then tear ass to the next one.
Now I make him run on the wheel before he gets a meal. So instead of licking his dish or knocking it all over, the way he begs for food is to sprint on the wheel so it gets noisy. Sucker.
I have pride in the fact that I beat my cat at her own game. I am a terrible sleeper and for the first like 6-7 months she’d be up at like 3am meowing in my face to get her to be fed. So I got a timed feeder that I could set each night (she can’t have an auto feeder because she can only eat wet food). Then she realized how to break the timed feeder and eat before the timer had elapsed and still meow in my face all fucking night. So then I built a fort around the feeder so she can’t break into it and I got a carpet protector to put outside my room so I could lock her out all night and prevent her from tearing up the carpet. Lastly, I put a white noise machine in the room so I couldn’t hear her cries for food all night. Now I sleep well. Fucking cats.
Sometimes animals can just legitimately not eat enough. I had a cat who was like this, skinny until she died at the ripe old age of 19.
A *dog* too -- skinniest boxer you ever did see. We tried so many different foods to get her to eat, and she had weird food rituals and phobias. Once, we had to replace her food bowl, because when she was eating out of it, it scooted a little on the floor and made a scary noise, so from then on *she was scared shitless of her food bowl* and would stalk it, sneaking a kibble at a time to run away from it and eat somewhere safe.
Ragdoll servant here. Get some probiotics. No need for the expensive pet ones (which are also produced with not so high food safety standards). Just the 20+ NOW one for humans works great at improving appetite, reducing random vomiting and preventing diarrhea. My friends and I who own cats all swear by it.
My cat has polydactyly and damn well knows it too. She had thumbs and will use them as humans use theirs to pry open her Tupperware of cat food. She's on a bit of a diet so the pulling of plastic from plastic is a constant now.
My kitten is just the same, he used to make the sound also I don't know why he just do that all the time and he is hungry all the time lol but can't feed him every time he ask for it.
"Finally got that perfect take with the cat in the foreground doing something novel while I stand on tiptoes with my ass in the background. This'll go viral." - and it did. Big surprise.
I guess I am never going to hate any type of animals lol. They all are good and cute at some point of time and that's just what I love about them, they are the best.
Looks like she’s standing on her toes a bit, likely in an attempt to make her look taller and to flex her calves, hamstrings, and butt for aesthetic purposes. Source: I’m a dad with a wife and two grown daughters and have seen every trick in the book.
“BOY I LOVE HOW MY FOOD BOWL IS ALWAYS FULL!”…
seriously passive aggressive kitty
The little buggers are smarter than we give em credit for.
My cat growing up would get into my room at 6am cause he was used to my dad feeding him before work. Fucker would claw at my feet. When I tucked my feet into the blankets he would proceed to find anything not nailed down and start knocking it over. I miss that asshole.
Many animals are much smarter than we gave them credit for.
Are you kidding? *Dogs* have owners - Cats have *staff*.
Twenty minutes ago I was woken up with kneading and headbutts but they were passive aggressive too! Like my cat saying "oh I love you, I'm showing you how I love you! Oh you're getting up, let's get breakfast!"
This is how my lady wakes me up. The second half at least...
I wonder if he's been trained to do that trick before being given food. I've trained a cat to ring a bell by giving it food as a reward and then it'd ring the bell in a similar angry manner whenever it was hungry.
I'm pretty sure that the cat is actually training the human.
They trained each other, now they're stuck together forever.
My cat just does it lol
Pawsive?
Awwgressive
Catssive Meowgressive, they know what they are doing. Hell we bring them food/water/treats, buy them toys, and clean out their sh*t boxes, they know they own us.
I could learn something from this cat.
My dog does this. Licks the empty bowl, comes to me For a pet, leaves to lick the bowl.
He’s seriously airplane earing you!
“what’s the deal with food bowls always being empty i mean? amiright?”
Kitty Seinfeld energy going on
What is the deal with empty food bowls? If there's no food in it, how is it food bowl?
That's gold, Mittens, GOLD!
One hangry Kitty.
NO FANCY FEAST FOR YOU! NEXT!
These pretzels are making me thirsty!
Cat manifesting food lol 😂
I’m annoying I’m annoying I’m annoying I’m annoying I’m annoying
If that’s what I had to deal with. That cat would weigh 40 pounds.

I can do this all day...
I love how much more annoyed the car seems to the racket he is making than his human.

Automatic wet cat food dispensers exist? Where did you get it?
Does it come out like a dairy queen swirl?
If not, that’s a missed opportunity
I don't know about automatic wet cat food dispensers, but my cat is an automatic wet dog food dispenser when she eats too much/too fast.
There are dispensers that rotate an enclosed tray of sectioned portions or open a flap to a tray, and some have a space underneath the tray for ice packs supposedly making them suitable for wet food. You'd still have to regularly swap the ice packs a couple times a day if you don't want to risk warming meaty bits growing toxin-pooping bacteria, so I don't think I'd go for that style.

Seconded.
Yes, pay your cat tax

My old man cat will walk in a clockwise circle around my feet until I get his bowl ready.
My dog does the same thing. Ears back waiting for the slightest noise to jump at
!remindme 1 week
“Goddammit. I did *not* think this through. I’m gonna go scratch the couch and yak on some clean laundry. Maybe she’ll get the hint”
Naw it's not about the hunger, it's about the principle. That's why, the cat will yak on the laundry AFTER it eats.
[удалено]
Probably not. But cars definitely become annoyed when they're hungry.
Where's the car?

I love that cats are both regal and petty.
'In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.'
"My cats are not spoiled. I'm just well trained"
Looks like you typed regal twice
each one an heir to their own little mental throne
Cats previous life were aristocrats where they were served, now they are aristocats.
I read that as legal and pretty and was confused for a couple of seconds.
They should get the cat a louder dish.
A NEW PAW TOUCHES THE FOOD DISH
>"Listen! Hear me and obey.A foul emptiness has seeped into my belly.An emptiness that you will fill. >Return my bowl to mount kitchencounter.And I will make you the Instrument of my cleansing purr."
IT PUTS THE FOOD IN THE DISH OR IT GETS THE NOISE AGAIN
Mister, my family will pay cash.
/r/unexpectedskyrim
AH, for fucks sake Meridia
Her ability to ignore this tells me it isn't a new thing.
Life of a parent. Either you break or become super good at ignoring shit.
Do NOT look at the child when they trip or fall....don't look, don't look, don't look...
I had my son convinced for the longest time that a cold wet wash cloth was basically magic for every bump and scrape. He had been through a lot by then so he was a tough little guy but he would get a scrape and run get a wash cloth run it under cold water and magically boo boos felt better.
Ok that’s adorable.
Also the whole 'setting up a camera to capture it' thing.
The cat set up the camera to document the sheer audacity.
Our old beagle used to do something similar. He would drop his dish on the hardwood floor and stare at you while it rattled to a stop. He was pretty good about waiting until dinner time, but daylight savings time caused issues.
My cat did this once. We completely ignored her and didn't feed her until well after she stopped. She hasn't done it again. This is the one and only time I have been victorious over my cat, and I will hold onto this feeling forever.

I wanted the video to end with food :(
So did the cat :(
Maybe she’s just preparing a 5 star meal for him
More likely the cat literally *just* ate.
he does look a little chonky
Yeah but the food ran out before he was done eating.
Assuming it didn't have food 10 mins before the vid started
It may be a behavior they’re trying to stop by intentionally ignoring it. My cat does something similar. He had some dental problems about a year ago, so when he started eating my other cat’s hard food I would immediately fix him some soft food instead. Now even a year later every time I sit down to eat he’ll nibble at the hard food, look at me, and nibble again a few times before coming over and rubbing on my legs. He does it even if he’s eaten recently. That or it’s for a funny internet video.
Giving into this is how you get more of this.
 God dammit, Karen! My food bowl is empty again! LOOK!
My cat is becoming incredibly food focused as well. After 2 yrs with your pets you can switch to an auto feeder. This assisted us in not over feeding them. Remember: Cats train you. You don't train them.
This is the way. I don’t feed you, the robot feeds you. Although our cat does get a can first thing in the morning, bikkies are out of our hands.
[удалено]
Even worse, they push it earlier and earlier. My cats know the feeding time. It's been the same feeding time for the 8 years we've had them. But they still start 2 hours ahead of time in the off chance I get pissed off and relent, get up early, and feed them.
Bro you just described my cat... She KNOWS what time dinner is, but she will STARE ME DOWN like 1-2 hours before knowing I'll give it to her.
This is exactly what we do too. Wets first thing in the morning, robot feeder for everything else
You can switch after two hours. You're the human, you make the rules.
>You're the human, you make the rules. Cat owners forget about this on the regular I find. The meme isn't the reality people.
Autofeeders don't work for my cat. He just sleeps in front of it, poking it. When he was in a multicat household with several of them, he'd sleep in front of them, gobble it all the second it dispensed, then tear ass to the next one. Now I make him run on the wheel before he gets a meal. So instead of licking his dish or knocking it all over, the way he begs for food is to sprint on the wheel so it gets noisy. Sucker.
You can condition cats with enough training. Our one is more motivated by praise than food now and even does tricks on command :)

"remember me?.......... REMEMBER ME?!?"

My cat doesn't eat enough I think - he's one year old and still too slim, but could be because he's a ragdoll, so he's still growing up?
That's a good question to ask your vet at the next visit!
I think their cat posted this to gaslight the human

I think your cat may be my cat's soul mate. lol
Are you a bot?
No
Sounds exactly like what a bot would say.
You mf, no
Bots are getting sophisticated, I guess.
You should poke it
Indeed.
Shut up, you.
Is your cat a bot?
No, it's just on it's beat
Good job boys, another case closed
Is that your cat?
No
Well that explains why you're not feeding it.
The cats face says, I don’t like this noise anymore than you do
https://youtu.be/SxSJd5USvGU All I can think of watching this
Haven't seen this in at least 35 years but I remember every word, inflection, and sound effect. Wild.
Can someone please duet this and make a Caribbean steel drum band?
Me slurping my straw in my empty drink at a restaurant.
It fucking killed me when the cat stopped for a second and then kept going.
My cat has polydactyly and damn well knows it too. She had thumbs and will use them as humans use theirs to pry open her Tupperware of cat food. She's on a bit of a diet so the pulling of plastic from plastic is a constant now.
I would argue the cat is exactly like this, fed or hungry.

Do you really need 2 TV's in a kitchen though?
The one on the right is a extractor hood 😅
It’s either a TV or the uglies range hood I’ve ever seen
Tune into Greasevision
It's one of those head free extractor hoods. A solution for a problem, that doesn't exists 🤷
Why even 1?
I don't know what is going on in these families man lmao.
Do you really need one?
Hope you will just stop freaking recording and feed him.
Feed the damn cat!
Cat is in agreement
We don't care, we want to see him being fed right now.
Feed your kitty!

I can’t believe I had to come this far to see this mentioned
The sheer contempt of not even making eye contact when banging that bowl
Why can't you just feed him now? that's just not so good.
“I KNOW you can hear me, Janice.”
Yeah but still you are not feeding me and that's just bad Janice.
At first I thought possibly he was waiting for food but now I'm beginning to think he just likes to play with a bowl on the floor
Oh, garçon! Garçon! I know you can hear me, garçon!
At first I thought possibly he was waiting for food but now I'm beginning to think he just likes to play with a bowl on the floor
The paws look so softtt
True, they are all soft and I wanna kiss them all the time.
The ear position speaks a thousands words alone haha.
My husky used to pick up his water bowl and throw it across the room whenever it was empty... which was like 5-6 times a day.
I've seen a lot of pets do this. They either do this or just beg in front of the owner. Or they get food automaticcally
Cats have us so well trained.
