Cats are conflicting for me. They can be cute, but I hate when they try to walk on me. Because I know if I try to move them they’ll probably scratch me. And that’s no bueno to me, just makes me anxious as fuck when they walk my way while i’m sitting on a couch trying to relax.
my cats walk over me like i'm a carpet. sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night with a paw in my mouth or a cats ass on my face. but they never scratch me on purpose.
It’s more when I’ve tried to pick them up, they try to dig in because they don’t want to be picked up. It’s a catch 22 situation.
my cats stick into whatever is under them with their nails when i try to pick them up
Lol just keep pulling and the Velcro breaks
Well maybe you shouldn't pick up cats you don't know if they don't want that
The problem is I tend to shift around a lot, and cats hate that. So i try to “nip it in the bud” to make sure to avoid the situation altogether, but sometimes they sneak up on me while watching a movie or something.
I always assume people that don't like cats also struggle with respecting boundaries.
Dogs are too energetic and overstimulating for me to be around. I'm fairly allergic to them as well, so I have a decent excuse for the people who insist their dog will be perfectly well-behaved and calm (they weren't).
There are some really lazy breeds out there. Like great danes. They are giant couch potatoes. You will have to give up your couch though.
That’s good to know! Unfortunately all the cats I see are other people’s, and so it would be awkward to be like “hey before we sit down, can we trim your cat’s claws a bit?”
