While dogs are known for being loving and loyal, cats can have a very different attitude.
They are known for their aloof characters – and often don’t love everyone indiscriminately. And with this in mind, people have been taking to Reddit to share their felines’ “toxic traits”.
One pet owner asked: “What is your cat’s toxic trait? This is Nova and her toxic trait is that she loves to drop her toys in her water bowl and then bring them to me on the bed absolutely soaked-leaving wet spots all over my bedding.”
The long list of comments that trickled in is bound to make you laugh out loud – and we must admit, it’s one of the reasons why we love cats so much. Life is never boring when they’re around, that’s for sure!
One said: “My cat’s toxic trait? Stealing my seat the second I get up,” to which another user replied: “My cat almost dives to get my warm spot in bed.”
Someone else said: “He’s watched me get his toys out from under the stove when he puts them there, so now he thinks it just magically has toys under there for him all the time. Now he goes to the kitchen several times a day and yells for me to come get out the nonexistent toys for him. My other cat barks.”
A user who was comforted by this comment added: “OMG! My cat barks too! I shudder to tell people because they will likely perceive this to be delusional. I’m so glad that someone else can confirm with their cat.”
Other toxic pet cat traits Reddit users mentioned included their cats’ grass habits. One said: “Getting his little face really close to my face and ef-ing sneezing on me.”
Another user added: “My pair prefer to poop in their litter at the most inconvenient times, they prefer to go potty when I am in the room close to the litter box room and thus I keep gasping for air. After depleting the oxygen level in my blood, they also have the audacity to come close to me to have a cuddle session just after detonating what I can only define as bio weapons.”
And a third remarked: “Mine will wait until bedtime, lights are off and falling asleep, then drop the stink bomb. So need to get up and flush the poop before oxygen becomes a problem. Have learned the hard way to do it before the stink gets too far. Because they won’t cover it!”
What a load of stinkers! We hate to admit it, but we wouldn’t have them any other way…
