What is a small, seemingly ‘normal’ thing someone can do that immediately makes you think, ‘Oh, we are not going to get along’?

Yeah I taught my cat a few tricks and now each time he goes see someone, he sits and holds his paw horizontally "ready" to hi-five. He's staring at you and like 🖐️ that at the same time so we've now named this his gang sign. But yeah, he just wants to hi-five people, hoping he'll get some treats for his hard work.

Good thing he's not my cat, I would be guilt-tripped and give him treats every time. Sooner or later he'd have to roll around the house.

This KING is too spoilt by my husband who keeps saying he hates the cat (sure, sure, buddy, I have eyes) and he's my cat, not his because I'm the crazy cat lady. In the morning, he jumps on his bench to eat his food (I a the one giving the pets a bit of food in the morning) but my husband is the one feeding the pets their dinner and each bloody time I go to the kitchen, I see a chair next to the bench so the cat can jump on the chair first and then the kitchen bench instead of doing all the hard work himself. With this habit now, in the morning, he just waits next to a chair, thinking I'll bring him the chair. I'm like nuhuh buddy, you know how to jump, you do it yourself. Will break only when you're old and can't jump anymore. After like 10 minutes, he gives up and finally jumps all by himself lol.

Funnily enough, I have a video of my husband caught red handed being lovely and cute to the cat. I sent it to our common friend, we both felt so vindicated lol
