"I have to go home, it's my cat's bedtime" is an excuse I gotta keep in my back pocket. Also, it's probably true, I have one of those cats
We used to have a cat who hid all night in the bedroom when company was over, which she didn't like at all. Around 11 PM, she'd come out and sit opposite the guests and just glare at them. The first time it happened, a good friend looked at her and said "Oh, look! She came out! Oh...and she's definitely telling us to get the fuck out!"
I was convinced that she believed she was communicating telepathically, just because we could read her expressions and know what she wanted. As far as she was concerned, she was controlling us with her superior advanced brain.
And I guess she was.
Replace the word with "family".
Cat is family.
no, i'll just say cat. if they know my cat (it's the one we have to open the door and guard when he/we poop/s don't get me started) they've probably experienced it at game night or something
Your cat wants you to stand guard while he poops? I thought my cat was the only one lol but he only wants that when others are at our house. He's not well socialized since we got him during the 2020 Panini
He wants us to guard him and he wants to guard us. He's very codependent
