"You don't understand. It is IMPERATIVE that you let me watch you poop. OPEN THE GODDAMN DOOR"

[–] ArtieShaw@fedia.io 31 points 1 year ago

They're keeping you safe!

What kind of weirdo closes the door when they poop?

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True freedom is pooping with bathroom door open.

Hence the song.

What kind of weirdo poops in bathrooms

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Just shit on the floor like the other wizards

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Haha, I've gotten so used to leaving the door open I forget to close it when guests come over. And have make a mad dash to close it when I finally remember.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't see why I wouldn't close it tbh.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So the cats can come in and help

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would be pretty scared. Where did those cats come from?!?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sometimes they can crawl in through the window

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're trying to kill my allergic ass

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I've also got a spare one if you want

[–] Veneroso@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

This, but for my dogs.

In their defense, I am often present for their bathroom time.

"The food bowl is empty! IT'S EMPTYYYYYYY!!!!"

Food bowl:

[–] Lightfire228@pawb.social 79 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Some cats don't like to put their faces in bowls. It pushes on their whiskers, which repeated daily can cause them pain or irritation. That's why they refuse to eat anything but the center of the bowl, where the pressure on their whiskers is the least

Try feeding them on a small plate or shallow bowl

(You might also see cats pawing their food onto the floor, then eating it. Same reason)

[–] PassingDuchy@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

I have a shallow dish for my cat and he still does this... He just doesn't believe seeing the bottom is natural lol.

(Before anyone says anything yes the dish is flat, I bought it for my hedgehog to eat without having to clamber and then had to swap their dishes when he discovered the shallow dish was light enough for him to toss around for fun lol)

[–] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

my cats just dumb and can't figure out that there's more on the other 1/4 of the bowl under her chin. If I rotate the bowl she'll start nomming but by herself she refuses to walk to the other side of the bowl. I've just accepted that it's part of our routine that it's one of those 'eternal soups' where you keep adding more and I'm sure it's all gone but like what if there's just a bit of kibble from 3 months ago at the bottom

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or they heard a noise and are investigating their territory.

But yeah. I definitely get the warm fuzzies when my little goblin wanders up from her living room tree to her office tree to hang out with me.

When I had cats, they would sometimes climb into my pants/boxers between my legs on the ground like some kind of cat hammock. Thankfully I wash my ass.

my cat:

Hey can opener, want to pet my belly?

FUCK YOU DIE

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you're not aware, a cat exposing their belly to you is a sign of trust, as it is their most vulnerable area. Touching their belly when they do that betrays that trust, which is why they attack you. It is not an invitation to touch their belly.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

My cat is so confusing.

He lets my wife rub his belly and loves it, but he doesn’t let me. He then follows me around everywhere all day every day, and he always wants to sleep near me.

I play with him a lot, so I think sometimes it’s a “come play with me” and sometimes he thinks I’m going to play with him if I pet his belly, so he gets bitey.
