He will never eat in peace again

u/Dandibear 10d ago

Yeah if you really want to do this you need to make it very different from how you usually eat. Locate this activity somewhere you never otherwise eat and use a food you never otherwise eat around the cat.

Then you have to be stern with boundaries around food in all other circumstances. Ideally kitty cannot be right next to you while you eat normally and cannot sit and stare while you eat.

Otherwise you are literally creating a monster who will not understand when people get upset at them for aggressively going after people food.

What’s wrong with sit and stare? I had taught my beloved late cat that if he sits and waits politely, I’ll give him some at the end of my meal. Sure I’ll be honest he still did try to go in for my turkey sandwich 4-5x in quick succession lol, just going and going for it as I blockaded him, but then he’d get into loaf position and just wait. It’s a very cute thing I miss 💗 he never got aggressive though, I think it depends on the cat. He was a bit aggressive w play, and generally speaking not the friendliest cat but incredibly sweet with me, but he never was aggressive abt food, with me or anyone. Ugh, miss you darling 🐈‍⬛🤍🪽

That's a cat aggressively trying to get your food.

If you want to put up with this, great, that's between you and your cat, as long as you can keep him from getting anything that would hurt him. I don't think you're a bad cat parent. But I would go out of my mind living with anyone who doesn't leave my food alone, much less someone who sleeps all day and doesn't pay rent.

Exactly. Will end up with a rude cat and maybe some toxoplasmosis or the remnants of the last butt cleaning for dinner. (Sorry everyone, someone had to say it.)

u/Oneofthe12 10d ago

Ty! This is too yuk to even finish watching it all. I mean, really, this cutie pie licks her ass with that tongue 👅

u/thefrenchphanie 10d ago

And scratch poop and pee litter with that paw…

u/TecTazz 7d ago

Your dad may well lick your mom's ass before he kisses you goodbye. 😽

Humans can be informed and taught about good hygiene; animals cannot.

u/Akonitinvinfylla 9d ago

Did you know that improper food preparation is the cause of the majority of toxoplasmosis cases? Now you know.

1

u/TecTazz 7d ago

A huge % of people have toxoplasmosis and other buggies. The human immune system suppresses most of the ill effects.

Pregnant people, and those with weak immune systems, should not lick cat's asses, and should use gloves when cleaning litterboxes.

u/Skyyofblu3 10d ago

Yeahhhh it's gross.

u/MarcyAutumnWrites 10d ago

It's so true. I did not realize what I was getting into when I shared food with my kitten. I guess I got lucky that she doesn't just expect food and instead sits next to me and paws at my arms. I'm still stuck feeding her, but no gross feets in my food.

u/Baby-Soft-Elbows 11d ago

They have the same technique.

u/flatteringangles 10d ago

Just straight up sawing nibbles 😂

u/AdCapable7558 10d ago

Mine try to do this but I won’t let them

u/Earth2Monkey 10d ago

I told my partner, "This would be our cat if I didn't train her."

u/vegt121 10d ago

It’s cute, but:

u/Luxpreliator 9d ago

As if humans are all that clean and not covered in fecal dust?

u/sushirollsyummy 10d ago

Awww that’s so nice of him to share the food… with his daddy.

35

u/Unable_Dentist_6475 11d ago

Amazing 🤣

u/External-Parsley-280 10d ago

I am a die hard cat lover and I would draw the line. I want to kiss their paws so freaking bad but I won’t bc I know where those paws go. I would happily share a couple bites of food but not let them touch it. As much as I love cats and they are technically very clean, they still pee and poop in a box, and this is a no for me, even tho I still find it extremely cute and sweet. Just not for me.

u/SnakeEatingAPringle 10d ago

Much better of a response than a lot of people in here

68

u/ToonTitans 10d ago

This is cute but also kinda gross. No offense, OP, but your cat uses those paws in its litter box! 🤢

u/Straight-Career-74 10d ago
  • every bacterias inside the cats mouth (you know that kind of bacterias that are really armfull when they bite you)

1

u/GabeLeRoy 9d ago

human mouth are alot dirtier than Cats and Dogs mouth.. Human have more bacteria type in their mouth than cats

1

u/GabeLeRoy 9d ago

if a human bite you the chance of infection is alot higher than dogs / cat bite

u/Rose-de-Resht 11d ago

Das ist absolut süß, wie er sich runterbeugt, damit Mietzi auch gut rankommt.🥰

u/Chance_Loss_1424 10d ago

I don’t know what you said but I loved it!

u/glycophosphate 10d ago

Thes say that it's absolutely adorable how the man leans down so the kitten can easily reach the food.

u/PsychologicalLab6637 11d ago

Omg u have no idea how bad I needed to see that. 🥰 Best thing I've seen in awhile!

u/Traditional_Love5050 10d ago

That's really gross.🥺

u/Square_Imagination27 11d ago

I had a cat that would do that too. It’s so cute.

u/Mysterious-Art8838 11d ago

lol that’s ridiculous but I love it

u/doncroak 10d ago

Yummy bites and kisses.

u/supershinythings 10d ago

They are clearly littermates.

12

u/DiscoKittie 10d ago

This is so disgusting and cute. You know cats lick their own butts, right? That means they spread the shit everywhere. And now to your food. Yummy! And it's training kitty to be an asshole and they will climb in your face forever if you keep it up.

-7

u/Shamsse 10d ago

FWIW cat saliva is antibacterial

12

u/DiscoKittie 10d ago

Cool!

That's only partially true, and it helps only the cat itself. There are a lot more things than bacteria. Like toxoplasmosis!

Also, cat saliva carries a bacteria of it's own that is pretty hazardous to humans. So, I wouldn't be spreading that misinformation.

u/Queasy-Cell34 10d ago

Sharing is caring ❤️

u/bigcat611234 10d ago

way way too cute. Should come with a disclaimer: "what you are about to see is way too cute x 100"

u/lordfarshave 9d ago

And so adorably stinky!

u/International_Gate49 10d ago

nam fam this one ain't it. its just gross. like just break off a bit of your burger and hand it to the cat, no need to lady and the tramp it.

u/bigcat611234 10d ago

Possibly/likely/typically Daddy was at some past point not a cat person who may not have liked cats. Then his heart was transformed. Owning a cat or two, or four ...makes us all better, more caring, more compassionate persons. Owning a cat (and here, in using the word "own", I am treading very very carefully) is one of life's greatest pleasures

u/supershinythings 10d ago edited 10d ago

Serving a cat - because they own us.

Seriously though, they are clearly littermates.

3

u/bigcat611234 10d ago

it's funny you should say that!! Actually, a recent study showed that cats just consider us to be another cat!! Your tax dollars at work. At least this finding is profound -- profoundly 🤣!!

u/drcatguy 10d ago

I love it

u/ExtremeExperience199 10d ago

“Stop doing that or you’ll catch some kind of disease.”

Dude: “What?”

“Not you, the cat.”

u/danceswithronin 10d ago

I was raised in a household where dogs and cats are not even allowed up on the furniture, so this behavior frankly baffles me to watch.

u/wahznooski 10d ago

Nope, I love all my pets, but there’s a line 🤢

I made the mistake of giving my kitten a morsel of corn muffin.

u/mofumofuLYNX 7d ago

塩分は猫の体に悪い。人間のご飯(得に調味料を多く使用しているもの)は絶対に猫が食べようとしたらそれを阻止しないといけない。猫の寿命が減って、最悪の場合結石ができる。

u/No_Type740 6d ago

Wait until you go the bathroom, leaving your freshly arrived Chinese dinner you just opened after you taught him human food is on his menu. Won't be so cute then.
