But lets face it, cat, dog or whatever, we are not.

Every morning especially, I am used to waking up around 6am, but my cat starts harrassing me, nudging me, jumping on me to say, "TIME TO FEED ME". He literally starts anywhere from 5:15 am, to 5:45am. And for a half hour to 45 minutes I have to deflect him gently from my body to tell him "it is not time yet". It is annoying as hell because he fucks up my sleep cycle.  But what can I do? I am not going to put him in a sausage grinder or send him to the pound. 

Humans just need to face, there is no such word as "owner" when it comes to discribing pets. My cat owns me.

Your cat wakes you up in the morning? This is completely new information we've never heard from you before.

News flash, animals have biological clocks like humans. Pretty sure you are not going to argue that should be illegal.

Nope, I’m not. I’m not saying your cat doesn’t wake you up. I’m not saying your cat shouldn’t wake you up.

I’m saying that you gain nothing by telling us for at least the tenth time that your cat wakes you up.

OH MY GOD, lets all just walk with sticks up our ass 24/7 and never let our hair down. 

Sorry, I love being mundane, and silly and talking about every day life. Sorry that bothers you. 

I love the fact that my cat does what he does. Pretty sure others reading this have pets that do different things they love.

To be fair, 37 has probably slept since the last time he told us.

Of course - people love their pets and the silly things they do. We currently have 3 1/2 cats, and they’re a constant source of amusement.

But why do you feel the need to tell us this one thing about your cat, over and over and over? Once is cute, twice can be an oversight, but 10 times is just fucking annoying.

3 1/2 cats?  hmmmm....that's interesting.  I assume (or at least hope) it's one that visits but isn't a permanent resident.  If not, we will be needing pictures to see what the other 1/2 is.

Same can be said for you. " Others or different than me, I keep forgetting that every 2 seconds".

Spot on. There’s a young feral cat we’ve been feeding, trying to gentle it and go from there. We’ll either keep it or foster it until we can find it a home.

So far, it’ll take the food, but if we get closer than about 10 feet, it leaves like it’s late for a meeting.
