5 Ways to Tell If Your Cat Is Annoyed With You

Let's face it, dog may be man's best friend, but a cat is man's worst frenemy. So here are some ways that you are unknowingly annoying your cat.

I read an article recently about how you are annoying your dog. Being the resident crazy cat lady, I felt it was my duty to compile a list of ways you are probably annoying your cat.

Dirty Litter Box

Remember the litter box that you painstakingly cleaned only 5 minutes ago and filled with fresh litter? Kitty has already peed in it. Prepare to receive the stink-eye until you scoop that clump out leaving the box fresh again for Kitty's next number.

Closed Doors

How dare you, lowly human, think for a moment that you deserve any alone time while you use the bathroom! Fluffy will be thoroughly aggravated that the door is closed and he cannot get inside. He will display his annoyance by shoving his paws under the door and meowing incessantly until you open the door.

Half-empty Food Bowl

If you have a cat, then you know that to you and me, a half-empty food bowl means Kitty has food. Kitty, however, now thinks you are set on trying to starve her to death. As retribution, you will be subject to long glaring looks and reoccurring cries as she expresses the injustice.

Touching Kitty

Forget that 15 seconds ago, Fluffy jumped in your lap offering up the most adorable little head-boop ever, declaring his undying love for you. As soon as you run your hands through Fluffy's pretty fur, you are now the enemy and you must be punished.

Breathing

Let's be honest. If you are breathing, you are probably annoying your cat. I am convinced that if they could figure out a way to pour their own food and fill their own water dish, without all of the pomp and circumstance of having a human, that we would all be sleeping in human sized kitty beds on our front porches while they ran the house themselves.
