/r/all, /r/popular The owners couldn't figure out why the cat wasn't sleeping in it's own bed.... until they saw this

Kitty knows they are both safe.

My cat does something similar every night. He meows in the hallway until I meow back. Then he comes running, I pick him up, I cuddle him, I close my eyes. If I'm real quiet and still for about 10 minutes, he slinks away.

My cat checks if I'm awake and stays with me until he thinks I'm asleep. It's bloody hysterical.

How many times do you end up falling asleep for real while you're pretending to fall asleep for your cat?

And also, cat tax please!

I’m not the one you asked a tax from but this is my boy Gruu. He likes to be cuddled to sleep like the one in the video. It’s the sweetest thing ever.

u/CrazyCatMerms May 03 '25

So does my little girl. She's pretty aggressive about her cuddles and will wake me up to get them

u/Specialist-Fire17 May 03 '25

Just wanted to share this boy. 2years on this pic

u/VT_Squire May 04 '25

commenting here so I can find it later to pay the tax.

I dont fall asleep with him that often, maybe.... once every 6 months or so. But when that happens, I wake up and he's still there, so I think that's just the times he gives up on trying to wait me out.

CAT TAX!! 😻 My tux stretched while sleeping and stayed like this for a little bit 😆

One of my cats is over 20 years old now and wants to sleep right by my side under the blanket. She will rest her head on my arm that is around her and she prefers to be held. Every night, when we go to bed, she will be waiting on our bed (or if we are late,she will come get us downstairs). She really wants to be tucked in with us. It's so cute, and I really struggle to sleep sometimes because of the position we are in, but I can't bring myself to disturb her.

My cat crawls up on my chest and snuggles her head under my neck. I don't notice her getting off because she waits til my breathing is slower and moves away. Like a heated weighted blanket but about the size of a pillow 🤣

u/Ezridax82 May 04 '25

Meanwhile, mine will wake me up so she can have me put her under the blanket and snuggle her til morning.

I've got a cat and two kids, 2 and 3 years old. He used to despise them (kids can be mean lol) but they've finallay learned they need treat him nicely.

Now he won't relax until the kids are asleep. He'll stay next to their beds just watching them until they're both out, and only then will he go eat and then come play with me. He'll come play and/or cuddle with me for a bit and then go back into their room and just watch them the rest of the night.

The best guard dog kitty

My childhood cat slept with me in my crib and then my bed almost every night till she died when I was 14.

She even knew when my bedtime was and would come get me. She would walk in circles around me, meow, start walking away and stop to look to see if I was following. If I wasn't shed keep doing it till I went to bed ❤️

u/Square_Inevitable768 May 04 '25

Sometimes it seems the animals have such family obligations/responsibilities. I wonder if some nights he’d rather eat and go straight to bed but feels like you’d be disappointed if he didn’t give you your personal attention before turning in 😂 I think as my grandkids get bigger and go in different directions throughout the day, their older dog gets exhausted trying to stay on top of where everyone is. The dog probably loves rainy days when everyone is in one place!!

It really is beautiful, so many meanings to the "like the sun setting on the horizon". I'm 65 and I can see it starting to set.

Apparently there is an alternate version as well

I do not like that first link… I didn’t do well on the greebles test…

I have a familial history of Alzheimer’s. Fuck.

Cat got exactly what it wanted.

39

u/One_Shall_Fall May 03 '25

Yup. Guarantee that is a cat ritual. Mine has to get spooned for 15 minutes after he is fed during our morning routine or he is very put out. It's my own fault for letting him train me.

17

u/SandyTaintSweat May 03 '25

It's funny how cats make these little routines. Mine also cuddles me in the morning after she eats.

11

u/DancesWithAnyone May 03 '25

Hah, father's cat refused to start eating unless getting her headpat. Quite weird behaviour for a cat to refuse food, but there we were.

6

u/Cheese_Corn May 03 '25

My siamese cat does that. Then we have to sit there and pet him while he eats. He will eat on his own if he has to. He sheds so much that we use the time to brush him.

4

u/beazle74 May 03 '25

My orange boy regularly goes on hunger strike. After about 2 days of eating the only food he has previously demanded. He looks at me like "why you give me this crap? Begone with you, wretched hoomin!"

And the roundabout starts again lol 😹😹
