Today, I found out why my cat hasn't been coming home for regular meals. Apparently, my elderly next door neighbour has forgotten that her cat is dead and puts food out for it every morning. My cat is exploiting her by impersonating her dead cat to get better food. My cat is an asshole. FML

assholecat tells us more.

Hey y'all, this is OP. In regards to my post: The elderly lady is a very close family friend of my family who still lives by herself but is being taken care of by her family. She's a lovely lady, really. I'm not worried about her stealing my cat - her dead cat and my cat look very similar. If he's bringing her joy - great! She and kitty can hang as much as they want! To the people who seemed to hint at me not feeding my cat... if you ever saw him, you would know that he is probably the best fed cat in the whole world. He is enormous. I have perfectly good food for him to eat - which I would feed him if he turned up for meal times. I don't feed him whenever he's hungry because he's a big ol' fat cat and I don't want him getting any fatter. (He won't be getting breakfast from me anymore - when I found out that my neighbour was lovingly feeding my kitty for me in place of her own, I went and brought her some cat food.) In regards to the "your cat is an opportunist! That's what cats are!" comments - no argument from me. As far as "don't call your cat an asshole!" comments go... my cat is an asshole: he methodically waits by her door every single morning at the same time that she routinely feeds her own cat, even though he knows (I'm sure he does, simply because the other cat isn't there) that her cat is no longer with us. My cat is both an opportunist and an asshole. And no, I don't believe that my cat can understand me when I call him an asshole. Anywho, that's it. I'm out. Peace!

Man - You should know better. There's NO way to shut the idiots up. You're assuming they will 1) read this, 2) comprehend it, and 3) care.

ur cat is an asshole. lol. my cat doesn't do that, she picks one dish or the other at my house (I was living with my in laws before leaving for the army and my in laws had cats too. so there was my food and my in laws food.) however my parents cat would come over an eat both dishes and attack my cat when she would try to get to her own bowl. lol.

Your cat isn't impersonating anyone. She sees food and eats it. Simple as that. Maybe if you bought better food, she'd come to you.

Or maybe you're the asshole for buying shitty food for your cat?

Well cats are naturally territorial and are accustomed to having multiple sources of food in a territory. I think you're just attributing human characteristics to explain this thing that you didn't know about cats. I have a hard time believing a cat is purposely taking another's identity.

Think of the money you'll save on cat food now

#125, OP gave an update that he buys cat food for his neighbor to feed his cat so he's not taking advantage of that "opportunity". Thankfully, OP has morals, unlike some folks out here.
