Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2006Warning: Cat Vent!
Okay, I've always been the one to feed the cats, take care of the cats, etc., because I'm the one who's home. My husband started feeding them wet food. We figured they were old enough now, at 2 years, let's supplement their diet, right? He's become their favorite person! I pet them, take care of them all day, but DH is the one that provides them with that little can of tasty goodness. I don't exist anymore! I'm the evil slave that feeds them dry food and cleans out the boxes. Sigh. I feel so........ used. kili Maybe you could "share" wet food feeding with DH? ;o) Christine > Okay, I've always been the one to feed the cats, take care of the cats, > etc., because I'm the one who's home.

He comes home from work and it's a meow chorus! kili >> Maybe you could "share" wet food feeding with DH? ;o) >> Christine [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > kili Feed it to them before he gets home. :) > >> Maybe you could "share" wet food feeding with DH? ;o) > >> Christine [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Feed it to them before he gets home. :) What if they still meow hoping for a second can? Trust me, it's been done. Our masters are tricky little critters, aren't they? :~) Yeah, like they're starving!!!!!!!!!!!! kili > What if they still meow hoping for a second can? Trust me, it's been done. > Our masters are tricky little critters, aren't they? :~) Yeah, like > they're starving!!!!!!!!!!!! Speedy Joe (RB) pulled that stunt at a party we had. I got up the next morning and he was doing his best starved cat impersonation so I went to the fridge and..No cat food! Odd I KNEW there were 2 cans there...ah-ha! Why are they in the bin and empty- I know I didn't provide much in the way of snacks etc but surely none of my guests was hungry enough to eat the cat food. Later found out that one guest went into the kitchen for something and saw the cat mewing pathetically at his bowl so thought he would feed him. As did the next guest who fell for the act And the next And the first guy when he went into the kitchen again And the second It only stopped when they ran out of cat food- he'd polished off 2 large cans of the stuff!

Dang, truth hurts! kili > Isn't that the truth! LOL. I guess I treated my mom the same way. Dang, > truth hurts! When we first got Nocturne, I was home with her all day writing my thesis while Dylan went to class. I fed her kitty treats too. Dylan got angry one night about a month after we got her, complaining that Nocturne loved me more. She spent most of her time hanging around me and ignored him a lot. I handed him the treat bag and said that from now on, treat feeding was entirely his job. I was still home with her more, but he was the man with the treats and by month 2, she was sharing her affection equally betwen us. --Fil > > Isn't that the truth! LOL.

I'm home all day and he's at work. I thought it would be a good bonding thing. Hrumph. Dang it. I cursed myself. :~) kili Ha you got cat punked ;-) >> > Isn't that the truth! LOL.

DH is a *very* restless sleeper to the point where sometimes I can't even sleep with him! kili > > Okay, I've always been the one to feed the cats, take care of the cats, > > etc., because I'm the one who's home.

Typical cats. Of course you're used, you're just a mere hoomin. ;-)  SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart. http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk > Okay, I've always been the one to feed the cats, take care of the cats, > etc., because I'm the one who's home. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Sigh. > I feel so........ used. Ah, well, cats are fickle, Kili. They are very self-interested. Last time I returned from hospital I was disturbed to find that Boyfriend was winding round Stan's legs (my neighbour who had been feeding him.) and I have to admit I was not a little jealous. I was a lot jealous. I realised it was a childish reaction ~that cat is "mine" not "yours"!!~ and I was glad that Boyfie felt okay with Stan, really. Well, sort of! I know exactly how you feel.

I think this is why husbands/fathers make sure they buy nice Mother's Day gifts for the kids to give to Mom - its supposed to say "Thanks for letting me be the hero". That's at least the way it worked in our house when I was growing up.
