    Dog ownership is hearing a gag from the dead of sleep and launching out of bed to move the dog to the bathroom before she vomits on the carpet

      This is also cat ownership. :(

      It’s hard getting back to sleep with all the adrenaline flowing.

        I have a dust pan, like for sweeping, that I keep by the bed, I stick maxi pads to the flat part and use it to catch the barfs. Much easier than moving the horking cat.

          This only works if you don’t have a cat that turns his head at the last second to avoid the vomit catching device.

            Yeah why does my cat refuse to vomit on the floor and always does it on the carpet?!

              My only guess is that cats are disrespectful arseholes. That’s why I like them though.

        Ours is polite enough to only ever hurl onto surfaces that are easily cleaned.

        We’ve got a husky that views this as a “middle of the night” snack. He hears that “Hurp, Hurp” sound and IMMEDIATELY runs over to where the cat is. Full run at 2am He wants to be the first to savor the delicious hair sausage.

      moments earlier, the cat hacked-up a hairball on the rug between the bed and bathroom for you to keep your feet warm with.

    Ours will jump onto the counter, and you can hear her because her back legs hit the cabinet door on her way up.

    She knows she’s being bad too, because I’d hear her jump, go pick her off the counter, and set her somewhere else. Now, I’ll go to get her and she’ll be sitting on the floor like “What? I wasn’t doing anything!”

      Bulk butter lives in the fridge. This week’s butter lives on the counter in the dish designed for it, with the cover.

      Yeah, so? A lot of people here do that, you don’t have to spread hard butter on soft bread. It doesn’t go bad because usually it’s eaten quickly and covered with a glass lid or something

        Also salted butter lasts longer on the counter than unsalted, and temperature is a factor. And salted butter makes delicious eggs!

    As your neighbour in the apartment complex, I hear this too often and I wonder.

    Just, out of blue. Completely quiet, then another butter fight.

      our cat knew there was butter under the lid so she tried to do the paw thing to like nudge it open

      but she just knocked it on the ground instead and broke the butter dish we had for 20+ years :(

    cat ownership is hearing a single soft *clink* from across the house and yelling GET AWAY FROM THE BUTTER

    The thought of having an animal that stands in it’s own shit, who then also walks on kitchen counters and beds and sofas, is disgusting.

      You’ll never win, and you’ll never convince these people that their house smells like cat piss. Yes even if they clean it two times per day. No matter how often they clean the litter boxes - everyone who isn’t a cat owner can smell it.

      I don’t know what animals you’ve had, but my cat cleans herself (including paws) pretty much right after leaving the litter box, and continues to clean herself all throughout the day.

      Wait until I’ll tell you what human children do with their hands before proceeding to put them all over the place.

      I bet your place looks like a Dexter kill room.
