I'll be walking and all 4 of my cats will lay down right in front and me and roll over merely because they want attention. I have tripped over them a lot but it's still cute nonetheless.

Walking on my desk as im working, in front of me, and of course swishing the tail right up in my face

I can't have the toilet door closed because one of them always has to come in to give me moral support, and if they cant they scratch incessantly.

My silly cat likes to gently bite my ankles when shes hungry, not painful more ticklish, but im still gonna drop hot drinks or a laptop on her one day when im not expecting it.

Sleeping on my head at night.

Laying down right between the knees, and streeeeetching out, forcing the legs apart

We have a gang of 3 with occasional visitors. They have been taught to wait in the living room while breakfast is prepared, because being mobbed at 5am is a trip hazard.

Still, the orange insists on at least some form of rebellion, and will wait patiently with one foot distinctly over the line between rooms.

How did you train them to do that? The amount of cat around me during their morning feeding time literally delays the process because they are obstacles!

Our cat Mac has a bedtime. When I’m getting ready for bed, he’ll sit on the edge of the bed, yell at me, and headbutt me. Then he lays in the crux of my abdomen and legs while I’m curled up. Makes it hard to reposition but it’s too cute to disturb.

When they chase/attack/weave between your feet. I know they're showing affection but, girl, you're gonna trip me and I'll end up squashing you. 😭

And then, God forbid you do accidentally kick or tread a little, YOWL!!!! THE AFFRONTERY!!!!

When I'm carrying food I can only shuffle

Headbutts my fingers while I'm trying to play on my PS5.

She will not let me write. Anytime I press my keyboard she comes running and demands pets. What I am to even do, I will simply turn in then essay late. It is what it is

My little one sprints outside when I come home as soon as the door cracks open enough to fit through. I guess to see what all must have been so exciting that made me be outside of the house. She doesn't run off. She just looks around the perimeter of the house. I just turn around and pick her up and go inside.

The little one likes to boop me with her head when I'm getting dressed. And then I have her give her pets for a bit before I can finish.

My guy sat on my mousepad today. Needless to say, he got a full brushing for his efforts :D

Headbutting you for attention, while you're trying to sleep.

When our smart cat is particularly annoyed at us she’ll run through the house chucking things off of other things just to watch them fall

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

When they knock something over while staring you down a few moments before they do it.

Literally just a few seconds ago she was informing me that breakfast is late. She then proceeded to chuck my wireless mouse off my desk.
