If you are a true cat lover, one of the many reasons you love cats is probably because they are fun. Their obsessions and personality manage to make all cat lovers laugh. It can take a while to identify their funny quirks, but by paying attention and playing with your cat, you may be surprised to see that he is laughing at you.
Steps
Step 1. Try to move your cat when he is lying in a cozy place
You may find yourself sitting in the center of the sofa while one of your cats is lying in your favorite spot, because the cat will look at you like chewing gum under his paws if you try to move him from his throne.
Step 2. Watch your cat steal your pillow
Are you looking for your pillow at night and a furious cat meows and gives you a paw, as if you are disturbing his good sleep? If you enjoy pampering your cat, you may find yourself slipping out of bed at night with your head off the mattress while your cat continues to sleep peacefully. If you are a true cat lover, once again you will be able to see him grin while 'taking advantage' of you.
Step 3. Listen to your cat purr and "complain" while you eat
Even if you feed the cat before you eat it, when you sit down at the table it is "still" there, looking at your plate, as if you have not given it food in days! Well, keep eating and, if you're in the mood for a joke, look the cat straight in the eye and say "Mine!" (and be prepared to get a dirty look as an answer).
Step 4. Attract the cat by reading
Have you ever tried to read a newspaper or the newspaper with your cat coming and lying on it? If he sees you turning a page, he'll swoop down on it to get you to stop right away. The cat wants you to stop what you are doing to pet him. So you are there, imagining that you can continue reading later. The problem is, he'll take a nap, then come back up to be pampered again. So, by the time you get to read, the news will be old and the magazine will be useless. You can always go to the park or restaurant to continue your reading.
Step 5. Buy a gift for the cat or you will suffer his anger
Have you ever bought your partner a greeting card or a balloon only to have it destroyed by the cat's nails and teeth? Maybe cats are jealous and it may be a good idea to give them something (preferably catnip scented) so they don't spoil the new "cat toys" you just brought home.
Step 6. Expect unwanted interruptions
Have you ever been comfortably seated on the sofa, hand in hand with your partner and the cat comes and sits right between you two? Cats have never heard that three is a crowd …
Step 7. Close the bathroom door tightly
Most cat owners got scared by going to the bathroom and leaving the door ajar, only to suddenly hear a creak. It was the cat that reached them. But sometimes your cat's timing can be inaccurate, especially when she wants to be petted or cute while you're trying to mind your own business. And what about the times they mistake toilet paper for one of their toys? Always close the door and don't pay attention to the sound of a knocking paw or a gentle meow. Some things require some privacy, so try to draw a line that is suitable for both you and your four-legged friend. On the other hand, if the cat litter box is in the bathroom, expect the cat to go there when you go to the bathroom. It seems some cats like to make it a social event.
Step 8. Have fun with your cat's belief that dog food is better than cat food
When you give your dog snacks, do you see your cat trying to steal them? Or do you always want to eat dog food instead of cat food? If so, buy more litter boxes and be prepared to clean the litter box very often; if the cat eats dog products, cleaning the final product is no fun. What's more, dog food does not contain the nutrients cats need. If you allow your cat to eat only dog food, the cat will certainly have health problems in the future.
Step 9. Observe the cat's particular eating habits
You may have noticed some kibble in the water bowl. Try taking a look to see if the food sinks into the bowl. It could be a clue that the cat would like softer food. If the cat is getting older, its teeth may be less functional. It is not necessary to start buying wet food: just add a little water to the kibble. It will be less of a challenge for you, as you won't have to clean his bowl all the time, unless the cat dirties out of revenge.
Step 10. Accept your falls
Has it ever happened to you to walk and meanwhile the cat slips under your feet while trying to go eat? Well, the only thing you can do is try to walk more carefully and don't trip over. If you stumble upon the cat, don't be surprised if you catch a glare, as if you did it on purpose (even if it was the cat that tried to get between your legs as you walked).
Step 11. Be careful when using your phone with a cat around
Have you ever talked to a corded phone and then had to move to another phone because the moving cord is irresistible to the cat? You leave the phone there, pick up the other phone and start hearing "Meow, meow". At this point you will have to apologize and hang up the other phone, ruining the cat's curiosity. You come back to your business conversation and apologize. However, in the meantime, your interlocutor has told the story to everyone and you hear the laughter in the background. The bottom line is that you need to be careful with a cat around if you are talking on the phone, particularly if you are making an important phone call. Cats have flawless timing.
Step 12. Cats love to drop you
In addition to tripping you, he likes to sit in your chair when dinner arrives. So, when the dishes are on the table, you don't look at the chair and you sit down automatically, so you take two good paws in the butt, you stumble on the cat that runs away and land on your face on the cake just baked by your mother.
Step 13. Give him some catnip
Watch the cat go crazy and see how much he likes it.
Step 14. Get a box, put some plastic with air bubbles in it, and wait for the cat to enter it
When it does, the bubbles will burst and the cat will go crazy!
Step 15. Have the cat sit in front of the computer screen and slowly move the cursor
Watch his frustration as he tries to catch him!
Advice
- Cats know how to have humor with food they like and don't like. For example, your cat may not like an expensive food you just bought him. Cats have their preferences, just like humans. So, to save time and money, find something your kitty likes. Of course, from time to time, give him something new to try.
- More active cats tend to be more fun than more shy cats, because they will constantly amaze you with their behaviors. However, every cat is different, and once you have established a relationship with them, you will also enjoy the company of a cat who does nothing but sit on the sofa.
- If you notice that the laundry basket is full to the brim, don't worry. If you have a cat, he will be more than happy to bring it all out! Then you'll have plenty of space in the bin, with just a little bit of fur on it. Cats are always looking for soft places to sleep. You could buy him a bed, but it might not work, because cats like to choose their own place to sleep … like laundry baskets. So, it may be a good idea to put a towel on clean clothes.
- Your cat may be interested in what to see on TV. So, check where you left the remote - if you're recording a movie, the cat might walk around on the remote and skip the recording.
- Has the cat ever been intrigued by the mirror in the closet? If you don't want to constantly wipe the paw prints off the mirror, you can cover it up before bed or wait until the mirror becomes a habit.
- Beware of kitchen paper rolls. Cats love to jump and look for new ways to have fun. Don't put the roll too close to the edge of the table or you'll end up with the kitchen floor covered in paper in no time.
Warnings
- Cats love to put closets back in place, so close the doors tightly, locking them if possible. Before leaving the house, check that the cat has not sneaked its way into the closet. Leaving it locked in the closet all day without water can be dangerous.
- Be careful if you are walking bare-legged. Some cats like to attack when they feel like playing. They don't realize they're hurting you, it's just a game to them. Either way, you may end up with some nasty scratches.
- Don't get in the way of a cat when he pushes the accelerator to the maximum and hopes his brakes work well.
