Your Cat Plops Down Right In Front Of You
This is particularly bad when your cat plops in front of you at night. If it is dark, you may step on your cat and harm it or yourself. One night my black cat Kohl laid down on my pie steps, and I stepped on his tail. He moved, and I slid on my butt halfway down my steps. Teach your cat to move if he plops in front of you, and do not try to maneuver around your cat in the dark.
Starring At The Food Or Water Dish
My cats will stare at the water dish until I put out fresh water for them, even though I put it out 4 hours ago. If they do not like the food you place in their dish, they will wait until you put in something they love, like tuna canned in water. Do not cater to every whim your cat may have. If they do not like a particular brand of food or it makes them sick, stop feeding that brand to them ASAP. Cats want to make you think they will die if their food dish gets a bit low.
Litter Box
Some of my cats want the litter box to be cleaned ASAP in the morning, and then they make a deposit the minute it is washed; I told one of my cats to go before I cleaned the box, but that did not work; it always leaves out the old litter box and the new one, or you may get a surprise that you do not want.
Your Cat Is Your Alarm Clock
Having your cat meowing outside your bedroom door at 4 in the morning isn’t enjoyable. Ignore your cat if they do that, and then they will soon stop doing that. Never talk to your cat when they wake you up; they will think yes, that worked well. One of my cats would wake me up at 6 AM every morning, which was terrific since that was the time I wanted to get up anyway.
Your Cat May Overtake Your Recliner
Every time I went to sit down in my recliner, it had a cat in it. I used to lift them and place them in my lap. I make my cats leave my recliner now, and then they can sit on my lap after I am situated. My cat Conrad took over my newest recliner, which was OK since it was not my favorite.
Cats Sleeping In Your Bed With You
I had one cat that would act like a hairdresser at night. I had another cat take over my pillow. One of my cats would sneeze right in my face at night. My cats no longer sleep in my bed anymore. They did a study that said people sleep more soundly without any pets in their beds at night. I would have to agree with that study. My cats were restless at night and would wake me up. Try not to let your cat rule you.
