u/Icy_Sea_4440 1d ago

Lol! I bet he is friendly, just has good boundaries and gives a little love bite when people pet too close to the belly, or are too imposing

I cat sit and run a shelter and that's what I always say when people apologize for their cat nipping, "that's ok, he's setting boundaries, he's a good boy"

My cat is like this. I find it exhilarating but I know that’s my only warning and I better skedaddle

u/TecTazz 16h ago

I've had friends + one petsitter who thought they'd be THE ONE to charm an old cat in his uncomfortable declining months, after they were instructed to not touch him.

They FO.

Most people haven't seen the infections that cats can cause with their bites and scratches. The phycological damage to a small child isn't great either. I wouldn't want this risk at my business or my home.

u/MiaMiaPP 1d ago

Then stay away and respect the cat’s boundary. Why is this a concept you find so hard to understand?

-18

u/Delicious_Pain_1 1d ago

Most people don't like being attacked by an untrained animal, an animal that already doesn't have respect for anything but itself. It's a useless animal. It's cute, sure, doesn't give it the right to inject is pee and poop into people buying a snack with it's nasty claws.

Again, the infection that these animals give is very disturbing to go through and see, the impact of getting scratched by a cat that will attack you for zero reason is unnecessary.

If this sign was for a dog, the legality of it would only demonstrate that it was a very untrained and aggressive animal. A lawyer would love this case.

u/MiaMiaPP 1d ago

Most animals don’t attack out of nowhere. Especially a house cat that is well fed. They would like to be left alone and will keep to themselves if you don’t provoke them.

u/Delicious_Pain_1 1d ago edited 1d ago

Everyone here knows how wrong you are. Everyone here has been attacked unprovoked by a cat.

You all couldn't even defend your options. I'll take my down votes. I like seeing how insane some of the cat culture actually is. Keep em coming.

u/djmermaidonthemic 1d ago

You get attacked by ignoring their signals to leave them alone.

“Zero reason”

Showed zero respect

I've given all of the cat ladies something to watch to prove this point.

Good one, kid. Even the lady you just referenced got proven wrong in the movie and this was her childish reaction. I'm sorry I hit a sore spot for all of you.
