cats

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

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 know I'm on the Cat community, but my dog is running cat software on dog hardware.

She will not accept going to bed without me brushing her teeth.

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

The kitten has very specific needs and places for affection times. She is not a lap cat. Heaven forbid. But she'll walk into the living room right in front of me and then flop onto her side. This is where I am to get onto my hands and knees above her, roll her onto her back, and rub her head and kiss her belly. She purrs like a train. I love her very silly ass.

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.

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.

My pup gets upset if I'm not home before dark. My partner works from home and gives me updates on how angry the pup is, as soon as the sun starts to set. This dog sits and stares at the front door, tiny ears quivering as he grumbles.

Anyways, I obey my curfew. (He's fine if I get home then leave.)

"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

Mine demands breakfast between 3 and 6am. Then about an hour later she requires that I get up and sit with her, on the floor, next to her cat door. There is a couch near by. But No. We sit on the floor and look out the 5x5 inch cat door window and I pet her until she gets "scratchy bitey" and I go clean my wounds and go back to bed. I'm not that into this routine, but I love her so...

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.

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!"

Not cat, but rabbits

My bunnies know they get fresh hay before I go upstairs to bed. My boy bun will run back and forth between looking at me and looking down the hall to the garage where his hay is. My girl bun will hop on the couch and glare at me with her adorable look of disappointment. They tell me to go to bed so they get food lol

Who would buy a cat because it does this?

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.

My rabbit would thump angrily if someone was up after 23.

Our cat does this too, closer to 9:00 pm, and when we're finally in the bed, she (cat) climbs on top of me and settles in.

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.

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.

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

That’s pretty cheap for a cat tbh

TWELVE POUND ???

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

Cat knows what's up. Getting enough sleep is very important.

This will be fun with daylight savings.

Like how my boy dog refuses to eat out of a bowl, and he insists on pushing his food around, so we downgraded to a trough. (Pretty sure it's because his whiskers are over-sensitive.)
