being a cat parent is largely just thinking if you left anything out that could be a problem when you hear noise after climbing into bed "did i leave my drink sitting around? did I clean up that plate?" - ThreadSky

As a crochet artist my big one is “did I put away my yarn??” “Is my polyfill covered????” “I didnt leave any needles out right!?!?!?!”

Ugh had this last night! Decided if it was broken it would still be in the morning so I didn't get up!

My senior kitty never counter surfed then, a partner introduced her to ice cream for the first time in her life. 👀

I haven't had a moments peace since. She seems to know anything with dairy!

Accurate.

Straws are the current risk. XD

Though last night, our kitten SOMEHOW fished a bit of a taco out of the trash (still not sure how she did that), could not chew it, and left it in the middle of the living room.

Ah, cat life. Worth it.

any baked goods have to be hidden away or my cats will eat it, so i get you

Especially when one of them is still kittenish. :D

It's like living out the Cats the Musical song Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer lol

How true. When I hear a noise, I know they did something.
I’m always hoping it wasn’t something wet or breakable

larunasoftpaw.bsky.social•101 days ago

Continues to be true after becoming a dog parent.

Had a cat that stole a pork chop out of an unattended pan and scuttled UNDER the bed with it, and we didn't find out till we'd cleaned up dinner

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK - it was the bone clattering against the woodwork while he ate

I have up worrying, after they learned how to open the kitchen cabinets. What can you do?

serendipityjones.bsky.social•102 days ago

"guess what they're gnawing on now" is a fun game to play while dining, watching television, or really any ol time at all! also "what precisely was that crashing sound" 😹

joshua-moore.bsky.social•101 days ago

That's why I used to call my lovely furball my "Tidy Cat". She always kept me tidy. (RIP Missy Purrfekt, you are still missed every single day)

Then there’s the sunk cost game you play with yourself once you’re in bed but then you hear your felines being Up To Something, like do I get out of bed to figure out what that noise is or do I just let go and let dog and deal with it in the morning

imawhateverr.bsky.social•102 days ago

Follow up photos of my felines Loki (large black cat) and Sigyn (small tabby)

My new cat has decided to climb my magnapan 6ft speakers😱

kwgmd.bsky.social•101 days ago

Truth!

elisestickles.bsky.social•102 days ago

And then deciding if it’s worth getting up or if you can deal with it in the morning… aka cat barf roulette

mikealex.bsky.social•101 days ago

Not selling cat ownership particularly well here...

Cat co-existence means soon putting up the holiday decorations 3x in the same weekend 😖

“The saddest meow” is Precious’s favorite game at night. It’s how she begs for pets when I’m asleep. (And how she begs to be let in my room if I don’t let her tap dance on my spine all night)

(Obligatory picture below)

Absolutely no food out in the open. Everything at night goes in a cupboard or drawer and we drag a chair in front of the garbage can drawer.

juliabelle66.bsky.social•101 days ago

As long as my house alarm isn’t going off…I know who is making all the racket lol 🤦‍♀️🐱

ghostwriternot.bsky.social•101 days ago

Mine stretches up and taps the blinds in the bedroom window and looks back to see if I am getting up to let her out, if she doesn't get a response from me she will tap harder and then grumble (she doesn't meow like other cats I've had) until she's out
