    That’s a filthy lie and you know it. That cat will be singing you the song of its people well before 6am.

    I’ve had dogs my entire life and never had this experience once. Own dachshunds, they’ll never go out in this weather

      You’ll just be cleaning up the poop indoors because the daschund will pretend to forget any house training it has. Source: have owned 3 daschunds.

    I don’t know why people don’t just litter train their dogs so that they can take care of themselves during work and sleep hours. If they have nowhere to go in the house, they’ll go by the door if you’re lucky, or somewhere hidden so that you have to hunt around for where the smell is coming from while they writhe with guilt and anxiety. Wood pellets are your friend.

    This cat person forces open one eye to half squint at 5:30AM because the orange braincell is desperately crying out for food. He caught a glimpse of the bottom of the bowl between the kibbles in there, and it was very upsetting.

    Lol no. not at all. a lot of cats go insane around 3 or 4am. Like insane zoomies and rough housing and nonsense. Dumb memes are fine if they are funny but this is dumb and not funny. Thumbs down.

    I will always “haha, so true!” this meme until I make the mistake of going to bed slightly early or waking up slightly late and now for the next three days I’m gonna wake up to my cat hovering over my face to see if we’re making another routine change or if food still happens when the alarm goes off.

      My cat will actually start slapping me at 7am to wake me up and feed her. Shes extremely persistent too and will keep slapping until she gets fed. I genuinely don’t even need an alarm clock because she is (usually) so punctual with it and so determined that I’m up at 7 no matter what

    I love dogs, but this is one of the reasons why I won’t have another one.

    I had a cat who developed dementia at 17. At that point, she started waking me at 5 a m. daily to feed her. For her entire life before that, she had always stayed in bed until after everyone was up and about. That last 18 months reminded me a lot of having a dog.

    All of the comments in this thread are why I have automated feeders.

    Now I do not get woken up at 5am to the sound of crying that will continue for hours until food is served.

      Same, especially because all the cats I’ve ever had have been unable to limit their feedings and get too fat if I free feed. The ones I have are hooked up to remotely switchable plugs that I automate with Home Assistant. Makes it easy to dial is food changes for my little void who is a growing pile of chaos.

      Same. But when my dog was a puppy I did walk him every morning before work, in a northern state, and this was literally me in the winter. But that was just one year to train him and once he grew up he became able to wait until after work. He has been chill as fuck since.

    I’m so glad all cats I’ve had have been free feeding and self limiting. Makes it so much easier, just fill the bowl and they eat when they feel like it. I’ve known cats that that was impossible though. Mother’s cats were little hoovering machines.

    My dogs hate the cold and heat just as much as I do. They only want to go for walks when the weather is nice.

    And they’re cowards most of the time, but they would fight to the death to protect our home.

    Cats are good pets. Dogs are better people than humans.
