Today, I learned that instead of training my cat, she has been training me. She now refuses to drink anything but running tap water, and yowls loudly early in the morning at my bedroom door to be fed. FML

Today, my only day off this week, my cat decided that she wanted feeding at 5am and wouldn’t stop meowing till I filled up her bowl. She then refused to eat it. FML

Today, my cat learned how to open doors. Ever since then she's been running up to my room, opening my door, and running away. My cat is playing ding-dong ditch. FML

Today, I tried to train my cat to scratch the scratching post by giving her a treat every time she used it, but she took that as getting a treat every time she scratched something. Now, not only does she scratch all my furniture, but she also meows for a treat while doing it. FML

Today my cat watched me clean and refill his water bowls, then shoved his fresh-out-of-the-litter-box paw in my glass of water. FML

Today, my cat learned the hard way what the bathtub is for. While I was in it. FML

Today, my parents decided to "discipline" my kitten by spraying her with water. This somehow managed to completely un-train her, and now she's back to being the compulsive biter she was when I first brought her home. FML

Needs more training

By catlady'sdaughter - 03/07/2020 17:01

Today, my mom read online you could train cats to relieve themselves in the toilet. Without reading any further, she took away the litter tray. My house reeks of cat piss and shit, and she still refuses to give the cat its litter tray back, insisting it'll work eventually. FML

Telepathy?

By So tired - 24/05/2023 02:00 - United Kingdom

Today, my incredibly needy rescue cat - who knows she doesn't get to go into my bedroom at night - decided that she needed to wail and scratch the bedroom door from midnight until 5 a.m. Now that I'm awake, she's ignoring me because she knows I'm mad at her. FML

Anger issues

By Flash - 25/07/2021 17:31 - India - Bangalore

Today, I found out why my girlfriend has been angry with me ever since I moved in with her. Apparently, she is pissed that I taught her cat how to play fetch and keep treating him like a dog. FML

I prefer elephants. They paint you pictures, share your love for peanuts, can carry you around effortlessly, and can even spray you with water on hot days. Besides, no one will pick a fight with you. That bumper sticker that says "Bitch, I have an elephant" tells everyone that you mean business.

YDI for having a cat

Every cat only drinks running tap water, but there are "cat fountains" that you can buy that they like to drink from. Also, you should feed your cat at night, it tires them out so they're not running around all night..

I'm telling you. Cats are just as smart as dogs. Only, in the "scumbag cat" way.

YDI for letting an animal run your life. let it drink water from a bowl or let it drink nothing.

My cat does the same stuff. We have to leave the bathtub faucet on at a drizzle for her. We went on vacation to Taiwan, once, and we came back to see that she was dehydrated due to having picky drinking habits. Now we have to leave the bathtub faucet on when ever we leave the house for more than 6 hours.

Thats actually really normal for cats, they prefer running water and quite often will become dehydrated if they are not presented with enough fresh water in bowls. Get your cat a running water fountain, they sell those.

Dogs obey owners, cats own slaves.... The Egyptians even knew this to be true. My vet posted this saying. I'm a slave as well. Running water? Check. Fresh food at every whim? Check. Timely feedings? Check, check. Meds mixed in with gerber baby food in a warmed (not chilled) manner? Yup, hello, my name is slave.....
