Imagine that you have to get up very early in the morning, you tried to go to bed on time, but still it is not certain that this time will be enough for you to sleep.
But you are in bed, asleep and calm, until you hear a noise. A grinding noise. It's coming from the window. You get out of bed sleepy. It's 1 a.m. You go to the window and open it. Your cat hangs on the net on the outside of the window. You make it come down from there. It goes down to the ground. You go back to bed and haven't fallen asleep yet when you hear that noise again.
You get up again, do the same thing - your cat gets on the ground, you go back to bed. But it doesn't give up. It continues to jump on the windowsill, meow, and climb the web. The cat is heavy and big, it knows it can break the web, it also knows it shouldn't do what it does. It also knows that it is doing it on purpose just to terrorize its human because it is well fed and when it is fed, when our cats are fed in the evening, they usually go out at night to do their "important cat work" like I usually call it, and they are gone.
I have watched many home videos of what cats do at night when they are locked in a house with their humans. There are cats that wake up their humans every night because they want to be cuddled - for example adopted cats. There are also those who wake them up because they are bored and want to play. I have seen a cat push a glass of water over its owner's head to wake her up. I've also seen ads for a cat maze under the owners bed to keep the animals busy while humans sleep. All of this makes sense when a cat is confined to a house, but when a cat has the freedom to go where it pleases, all of these are already ruled out as possibilities.
At least I think so.
When I told you recently about that adopted aggressive kitten compared to the cats at home, I thought of this Animal Planet show "My Cat from Hell." Of course there are terrible cats who do terrible things. According to the host of the show, there is a specific reason for every single thing. I also wondered that night what was the reason for our cat behaving this way. You know, in that post back then I called our cats "the best kitties in the world".
But then I realized that they are not "the best kittens in the world". Assencho, the cat I'm showing you in the pictures, and about whom we are talking about, is an artistic soul, as I have told you before. But along with his constant desire to sing and communicate, he can be a total jerk to his humans, especially to me.
And I'm sure that that night was directed at me. It lasted about 3 hours - until 4 a.m. Then suddenly it stopped. And I couldn't sleep any more until the time I had to get up anyway.
The next day we took drastic measures to prevent this from happening again - we removed the net. In the days that followed, he only came to meow on the windowsill, but that meow could be silenced with earplugs.
I no longer make the mistake of getting out of bed and opening the window, ie. to pay attention to him, because every show of attention encourages him even more to continue with his exercises. To continue to terrorize me.
Also, my boyfriend started feeding them morning and night to distract them from me being a walking feeder. Yes, I just recently realized that these cats don't love me, but they only show me attention because they know I feed them. 😁
So, this is my story of how a sweet kitty can turn into a terrible terrorist who can ruin the quality of life of their humans by depriving them of sleep.
What about your "sweet kittens"?
And oh, btw, happy #CaturDay! 😺

it was so amazing i saw that cat, how excited 🙀🙀
Amazing to see it, but not to experience its terror, for sure, ha ha 😸
are you a cat lover too
Of course I am 😊 Isn't that obvious?
Yeah, cats could be terrorists, I am totally sure about that. But as you are the one who provides the food, you have to enforce your rules. Perhaps you are too soft with them and they feel that.
Don't consider this as an advice though. I have taken care of a few dogs in cats in my life but as a man, it is much easier to be the "alpha" and with animals... they have to know who's the boss. They do something you don't like - scold them so they are aware. They do something nice or what you ask them - reward them :)

Yeah, I know I'm too soft and very kind. This is something that happens to me in relationships with people as well. I'm too nice and people take advantage of that. The moment I try to show them that it's not right, I suddenly become the worst in their eyes, our relationship breaks, and then it can never be recovered because these people never manage to manipulate me again.
Now that I now know that this cat can be very mean, I am now careful with it. I don't pamper it so much, I'm distant. I don't know how long this will last. Animals certainly sense these changes in attitude. I know there's always some balance to be struck, but it's also incredibly difficult, at least for me it's very difficult.

True. It is so difficult, hard, to educate them. So much time and sometimes the yield comes slow, so slowly...

As far as I know, I have also read and from my own experience, there is no such thing as 'education' in cats. If they do something you try to teach them, they do it only with a compromise to themselves. They know very well otherwise what they are doing and what they should do in a given situation. Many times they don't like it, but they probably say to themselves: "Come on, this time I'm going to do this to please my human." But the moment that human isn't looking or isn't there, they immediately do what they want. 😸

Hmmm, that is strange. Cats are usually very quiet at night. Maybe there's something missing in his life? 🥴
Attention - that's what he's missing 😸 You know how artistic souls are - they always have to have an audience, to be surrounded by attention and applause.
Our cats are most active at night. During the day they usually sleep - bask in the sun on windowsills or under a bush. At night they are in their element.

That's why I am not a cat lover. I find them annoying hahah. But I really love watching them walk because they are so graceful. When they stay still and rest they look so cute and fluffy.
Yes, when they are standing still or sleeping, they are the embodiment of peace and coziness, because they certainly know how to enjoy life by practicing slow living. At the same time, they know well how they can 'get on the head of their humans' and 'make their lives black'. 😃

Cats do like to act strangely, they will act as they please if they want something, especially if the actor still doesn't get the role🤭, Some additional actors may be able to change their attitudes, actresses maybe, and by the way your actors look more and more handsome
Yes, more and more handsome, and at the same time harder and harder to bear. 😃
Maybe he's pubescent😅🤭, On the one hand, we are troubled by our pet actors, but on the other hand we will also be lonely without them, have you ever looked for him when he won't sleep next to you, I feel that way, because the actor I belong to often sneaks under my blanket
