yeah i've got one that is, uh, unpredictable. she likes to play too much and we have not successfully trained her not to pounce on the big dumb one when he's pooping. it's been years. so we have to guard him sometimes. now he guards us too.

First read through, I assumed "big dumb one" was a human from your cat's pov, and the mental image of the other people and cats guarding a large man from a kitten so he can poop in peace was hilarious.

Captive audience, plus your pants are warm and smell like you.

They also seem to deliberately employ awful timing.

Yeah, the cats love to BOTH snuggle into my bed, right before work, as I'm trying to get the heck out of bed.

Cats mark their territory with scent signals. The only place we scent signal is in the toilet.

Your cat thinks it's your holiest place and likes to share in it.

Mine won't sit like this, but will stand up with his paws on my knees and try to headbutt me in the nose.

So that's fun, I guess.

You're supporting each other, in a difficult time. Both pushing for a good outcome.

My cat knows I'm stuck there for a bit and she can harass me for pets. She'll straight up grab at my hands trying to pull them to her head
