Birds. Though her favorite thing is also birds. This...can create issues.

[-] kevincox@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

If a ceiling fan is on one of my boys will hide under chairs and couches and basically just skirt around from cover to cover. I think he thinks it is a bird.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

If it's not a bird, how come it has wings?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

That, uh, huh. I would like to refute that but I don't know enough about birds.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Ah yes, the duality of cat

[-] Thorned_Rose@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

One of our cats is called Loki. He's scared of thunder.

[-] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

Would be funnier if he's called Thor

[-] Sho@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Citrus. He is genuinely offended if you offer him an orange

Mother's cat hates everyone who is not my mother. She tolerates me enough to let me medicate her (she might like me)

The kitten is terrified of my twin. My identical twin. Kitten likes me. Kitten lets me pick her up and kissy her. My twin? Scariest fucking thing ever.

[-] Baggie@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe it's like an uncanny valley situation for the poor thing.

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

It might be! Twin does live here, so you'd think kitten would have gotten use to it all by now, but perhaps not! Perhaps she knows they just wants to love her, and being a cat, wishes only upset upon them. This is what they think XD

One of my cat dislike it when i touch his foot and tail and thigh too much, so i proceed to touch his foot and tail and thigh so much that he will start to bite me.

Cat b hated water. Cat a you could put under a shower and he'd be happy.

Cat b hated nail clipping. Well, about three paws might be tolerated but then it'd be enough and you got the teeth. Cat a didn't mind.

Cat b hated trips to the vet. Somehow he knew and would find the strangest hiding places that day and fight all the way into the carrier and out. Cat a would purr and brush against the vet, happy to see new people.

Taking medicine...

It wasn't that cat b wasn't chill or happy to be around people or anything, he was a big softy, really. But I can't think of much that cat a complained about.

Cheap cat food. She turned her back on it, made scratching motions as if burying shit, gave me a "look" and stalked away.

[-] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

Being picked up. She lets me do it if I need to but only for a second before she starts wriggling and lamenting. Loves to lay on my stomach so it's not that she doesn't want me close but everything has to happen on her terms.

[-] Cofeiini@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

The vacuum cleaner. One cat gets really scared and freezes while the other starts hissing at the machine when I bring it out.

[-] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Me trying to pick her up.

But once I do, she's like:

Then 5 second later, stuggles to get off me.

But also she never drinks from a water fountain. That fountain is now just collecting dust...

[-] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

My phone when I turn on the camera to take her picture or video.

[-] TheDivineKeepers@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

🫣 So, not a lot of pics and/or videos?

[-] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I have learned to be sneaky, but unless she's asleep or bribed with treats, they're mostly like this where she looks vaguely annoyed or disappointed with me.

[-] TheDivineKeepers@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

😍 Well... let's say... She does not want her beauty to be on picture... Extremely beautiful cat 😍

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Naw the first one she looks mad, but the second you can tell she loves you for sure. Cute kitty!

[-] truite@jlai.lu 2 points 2 weeks ago

The other cat.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 2 points 2 weeks ago

An almost empty food dish... My cat starts meowing when there's like 1/4 of the food still in the dish lol

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 weeks ago

Don’t you know? Anything less than full is empty.

[-] Gojitas@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

The Washing machine. It was worse but still he's running outside.

[-] ExhaleSmile@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Kitty kisses!! I always get a stiff paw to the jaw when I go in to steal some...

[-] superduperpirate@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Cat 1 - being picked up. Usually makes him very squirmy.

Cat 2 - being petted when she didn’t initiate affection.

Cat 3 - interacting with cat 1, she doesn’t like him, especially not in close proximity, which he hasn’t picked up on despite her hissing and smacking him regularly for the last seven years

[-] 2fm@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Being ignored.

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

Tummy rubs, unless my wife does it

  • Camouflage (as in items of clothing with the pattern)
  • Tall boots
  • The color red
  • When you open a plastic bag, such as for garbage (but if they’re left lying around he loves to sit on them) - this doesn’t apply to treat bags
  • Tall men with deep voices - roughly 6’3” (1.9m) or taller
[-] TheDivineKeepers@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Ah... the plastic bag.... same here... 😂

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

Strangers, especially ones who try to pick her up like a dumbass

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago
