I had a cat who would yell at me if I was up too late with the lights on.

(turns off lights)

He curls up and goes to sleep.

(turn ONE light on)

“YOW!”

My horse insists that I play music while we hang out. She knows it comes from my phone and if I take my phone out, she’ll fiddle with it with her lips until I turn in music.

She loves when I sing and I’m so glad I’m usually there alone because I’d be embarrassed if anyone heard me serenading the horses lmao.

I recently got a lyre and I’m gonna learn how to play it for all the horses

My cat also has a very healthy bedtime, but I’m a night owl. So I’ll turn the lights off after 10pm, light up small LED candles, let my cat sleep on my lap, and try not moving too much. After sometime I’ll have to wake her up, then we go cuddling together under the duvet. She’ll get up early without waking me up. The best friend I ever have.

1030pm does seem like a healthy bedtime. I could use that kind of encouragement.

Who would buy a cat because it does this?

My cat literally expects us to be awake at a certain time and will keep meowing us until we awake. I noticed if I don’t wake up my cat will make sure I do.

“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

my dog won’t herd us to bed, she just disappears and curls up in the dark alone on the bed

it’s funny when we’re staying at somebody else’s place and instead of doing the usual dog thing and wanting to be around everyone (which she did lots of earlier), she just quietly disappears to pass out

That’s pretty cheap for a cat tbh

I was just telling a friend about my how cat was so annoyed today I wasn’t sitting at my usual desk. He was yelling and standing on it until I sat down. Now he’s snoozing in my lap, at the desk, as intended for this time of day.

We had a cat that used to like to go for a walk around the corner and back, just so she could show us off to the housebound cats. She knew where they all lived, and she’d get their attention by ringing her bell until they came to window.

One night we were intensely writing and editing some work stuff, and she started crying for her walk, and we told her we didn’t have time tonight.

So she went outside and brought back in a dead mouse for us. I scooped it up, and took us all out for a walk, dropping the dead mouse in the trash can on the way.

Our cat kneads my husband’s arm when it’s bedtime. Right arm, never the left one. It must remain outside the covers and easily accessible, but not moving, until said cat has decided he’s done kneading it. This usually takes about ten minutes. No one is allowed to pet the cat while this is happening, or interrupt the kneading in any way.

I mean some people also train their pets instead of letting their pets train them lol

My cat sleeps whenever he’s tired or when I go to sleep. He’s a proximity cat, so he’ll be snoozing nearby depending on where in the house I am. If I go to bed, he’s going to go to bed too.

He also doesn’t wake me up. The auto feeder gets him food, so I can stay asleep without having to worry about him getting fed. Usually when I wake up he’ll be in the mini cat tree or under the bed.

My dog has worked one over on my parents. She won’t eat until she gets a treat from my Dad (the appertif, I like to call it), and then she’ll eat her food and go over to my Mom and she won’t leave her alone until she gives her more treats for dessert.

If this routine is disrupted, she makes a big fuss.
