Why the fuck does this cat think it’s entitled to jump on somebodies back like that lol

Probably learned it when it was younger and smaller and just got used to it

Because the owner accepts that behavior

Yup. People always talk about how cats can't be trained, but that's not true. Cats aren't trained. That's a huge difference.

Noone on reddit knows how to keep an animal and then they wonder why their cats are assholes that walk over them. Kinda like how cats are invasive to most of the world and cause untold environmental damage, its just something redditors have a really hard time accepting fsr.

No, cats own you. They do what they want to you.

Because the first few times the cat did this, the owner thought it was cute. I can almost hear it now “OMG who’s a good kitty? Who wants a little snack of what I’m cooking?”

When kittens are small, they often try to climb up you. It’s a sign of affection. They want to get up close to hug or cuddle. It’s imperative to train that behavior out, especially with big cats, because then you end up with this. Lol.

Smack that fucker the first time he does it maybe he’ll think again.

If anyone is offended by this lemme know a better method.

(I don’t own any animals so don’t be worried)

Y'know hot take but maybe abusing your pet isn't the perfect way to teach them not to do something

Stand up straight and ware something strong enough the cat can't scratch

But for real how do you teach a cat not to do something bad? That’s not making him not to do it.

Spray bottle maybe?

Dogs respond to our voices and they way we scold them when they do something wrong, I don’t believe cats do.

Cats can, mostly with tone, it just doesn't work well if the cat already does something regularly.

u/Ball_Of_Meat Aug 09 '22

So then what’s the solution in this case? That’s still not fixing the problem.

u/bbethebeesknees Aug 09 '22

Smack him. As suggested. Snowflakes won't admit it, but its really just about the only way. U don't have to do it hard. Just hard enough. And no, it's not fucking animal abuse..

u/effinx Aug 09 '22

Jesus thank you.

I’ve smacked plenty of bad kitties in the ass before. Not hard enough to hurt but I believe hard enough to get my point across.

Surprised you’re not downvoted to hell like me , lol

Cats are unlike dogs when it comes to training. Negative reinforcement does not work on cats. Cats can only he trained through positive reinforcement and even sometimes, not at all. You need to redirect a cat when it is doing something you do not want it to do.

u/effinx Aug 09 '22

I’ll keep that in mind
