Cat Help Needed

[not_for_sale2025]

I have come to realise that my cat believes that he is a Prince surrounded by two legged servants who must fulfill his every desire. He demands bodily warmth when he wants it, but will not tolerate even a pat if he is not in the mood. Servants who do not obey are punished swiftly with a good slap. He is pedantic about his diet and where he sleeps. He does not like to be woken when fast asleep between my legs on a cold winter's night. Nature calling at these times must be ignored.

Anybody got any suggestions on how I can better deal with this?

My Missy is 13.   I don't take carp from cats.   

I love 'em, but I'm cranky

Got someone else to be the food source?   That's how I fixed my dilemma.

Hubby feeds her and I don't take carp from her. 

She steers clear of me and annoys him instead.

Nup, my family are bigger chickens than me. And are gateful that I'm the one with the scars, not them.

Have 2 of those in this house, father and son.  Father has taught junior everything he knows.  They quite openly play one against the other.  I TRY and not pander to them but they get what they want from one of us sooner or later.  I am definately going to reincarnate as a **bleep** cat in this house!!!!!

Hmmm........sounds like typical cat behaviour to me.  I have 4.

Given he is 11 - I would now :

Enzso (16 going on 17) agrees

Enzso looks like my nearly 19yo Salem (though his right eye is now nearly blind); We also have 2 x 9yo's Loki & Phoenix (aka Feeney) Joffrey (aged 4) & Riversong (aged 2). (Those last two are much like their names suggest) Not snuggly kitties @ all!

They rule the roost & there is no getting away from that! So sorry I cannot help with the OP's problem!

How I wish I had that problem ......   I'm crazy about cats but since I got my stuck up little chihuahua can't have any around as she would make our life a misery chasing them.   My last big bear cat Rudi lived until 17 and passed 3 years ago and I still fret for him.  He was the gentlest sweetest creature.
