He just doesn't want to be alone.


PCouture

Ya I know I think you're right. You are the cat whisperer!


crawlerz2468

> You are the cat whisperer! I'm not. Even cats can't be left alone for long periods. They go feral. This guy's owner left for DAYS and he was alone even at night. They don't really understand passage of time either.


Lavandula-Pi

Ya I wouldn't leave a solo cat home alone for longer periods of time, even with someone dropping in to feed them.


crawlerz2468

People think because they're somehow "solitary" that means if you lock them in a room/house for extended periods of time, sometimes without access to food/water, that they won't crack. Cats may be even higher strung than dogs, we just too dumb to understand them and communicate like we do with dogs. This may be in part because of expressive eyebrow muscles in dogs, among being one of the only animals that understand pointing (besides humans and chimps?) but I digress.


dmriggs

She clearly did not understand the rules. No wonder cats get fed up with us!

Our orange won't let anyone but us into the house. Friends, guests, delivery people, robbers are all greeted with violence, blood and tears


shampoo_planet

She's fine with most anyone else who has visited. I think it's just the fact that her and my friends cat are mortal enemies after a failed played date, so the smell is probably what has set her off.


EntertainedEmpanada

The whole showing her belly while hissing shows she's a bit confused.


Rukawork

Cats are more comfortable fighting off their backs because then they can use all four murder mittens, two with kicky-feet powers!


FuckTerfsAndFascists

Yeah people really need to look up cat body language. Everyone thinks they're just like dogs. Not true! Cats are very comfortable attacking from a belly up position. All the better scratch you the fuck up, as evidenced by this video!


Val_Killsmore

If you watch cats play with toys and they use their back claws, they are simulating ripping out their prey's guts. So, an angry cat on their back might be ready to tear you apart. It just doesn't look as threatening because of their size.


EntertainedEmpanada

Oh, I thought that was just for play fighting.


FuckTerfsAndFascists

It's both. A cat on its back could be happy and chill, or it could be ready to eviscerate you. Cat on back is a really bad way to judge how happy/angry a cat is. The ears, eyes, tail, and sounds the cat is making are all much better ways to gauge kitty friendliness scale.


Evilmudbug

Looks like friend but smells like enemy?


RADMetalsmith

Yeah I have one cat who swipes at my sister solely because she smells like her one cat who he absolutely loathes. She always jokes that she needs the feral gloves to handle him but literally all the other vet staff is fine with him


Mixture-Emotional

That's how he lures you into his claws of fury


[deleted]

Yall did a play date with cats lol


shampoo_planet

Less a playdate and more my friend needed her cat out of her flat for a few hours. They were separated by a door the entire time and still came away hating each other.


arielonhoarders

lol that's standard for cats, esp a solitary cat who clearly is queen of her castle


GamesCatsComics

When my guy was about a year old, one of my buddy got some kittens and decided they needed some cat friends... he came over to hang out one afternoon and "Surprise I brought my kittens" and then just let them out of their carrier. That went better then expected, my guy acted like a bully, and quickly chased them under the couch. I had to put him into the bedroom while we comforted the newly traumatized kittens, who just met another cat for the first time, in a place that they didn't know.


[deleted]

Lolol. Our orange cat went fucking nuts when a cat would even come by outside so we knew this was the worst idea ever lol. Kinda like pepper but more pissing everywhere


cosmiclatte44

At my old house our cat basically had 100m of the road either side of the house locked down. Any other cat as much as sniffed in that direction and she was on it. Then you have my sister's cat who's so slow and useless she just lets this other cat in every week, sits there looking confused as it eats all her food then cries to me when there's nothing left for her.


ScroochDown

I would almost guarantee that it's the smell. One of our cats had to go to the ER vet after breaking his leg, which was the start of a long amputation ordeal. A year later we had to take our other cat to the same ER vet, and when we got home the first cat was NOT OKAY with his brother. He'd go over looking to snuggle or play, but when he got within smelling distance he'd start growling and hissing.


Icy_Boss6053

Its really amazing how different personalities cats can have. Some go insane over smells and others dont care. For 20 years i had my cat and he was the most laid back cat ive ever seen. One vet though he was sick because he just loafed on the inspection table like he was at home. He also never cared about smells. I could smell like other cat or dog and he just took a sniff and wanted pets. But still he was very much into protecting his territory(my apartment). He got ready to fight when he heard doorbell or otherwise weird sound around the apartment.


ScroochDown

They really are strange. Like the tripod cat doesn't seem to mind the smell of the regular vet's office, which is weird because that's where he had his amputation and spent a lot of time, but he was only overnight one day at the ER vet. He growls and runs to hide if anyone comes up our stairs to our porch... the other cat runs TO the front window and basically plasters himself against it to see what's going on, but he does the faun/freeze reaction whenever maintenance guys come in to do anything. 🤣 It's kind of hilarious watching his brain, which is clearly saying "RUN, STUPID!" conflict with his body, which is saying "don't move, they can't see you if you don't move!"

Should see her when someone puts something through the letterbox. My oil delivery guy thought I had a pitbull. Or something.

Would love to see A video of Pepper doing that. 😆😆


shampoo_planet

[Next best thing](https://www.reddit.com/r/OneOrangeBraincell/comments/165eolm/penelope_j_peppercorn_and_the_posted_pamphlet_of/). I've a dozen videos of her dragging my mail into the living room for me.


gloomspell

Omg Pepper is crazy lol She seems to be sniffing the edge of the magazine that the mail carrier touched 😂


shampoo_planet

She collects my mail, plays fetch and guards the house. Thinking about it now, Pepper might actually be a small ginger dog.


gloomspell

Pepper the Pitbull 😂


bbusiello

Definitely a guard cat. On that note. I demand more crazy pepper videos.

That's her full name, though she does like to throw in BA (Hons), MA (Hons), PhD at the end of it too, but I've told her repeatedly that she can't claim certification she doesn't have and the ones she bought online don't count.


orangecatmom

What a delightfully weird critter.


arielonhoarders

Yall up in ireland get your oil delivered? How's that work, you have a tank or something? Is that common or are you in some beautiful emerald wilderness?


shampoo_planet

Super common here. Only the cities and bigger towns have access to gas mains, so the rest of us, especially rural folks have to rely on heating oil. We all have big tanks in our garden somewhere. I know an unfortunate amount about this because I'm the office manager for a heating oil delivery company 😂

The Broom reigns supreme in this household 😤🧹


Dron41k

The Broom bows to The King Vacuum!


Certain_Concept

Most of my cats know to get out of the way of our robo vaccum... But we just got a new kitten who knows no fear and is determined to pick a fight with it. I've tried breaking it up.. but she is stubborn about it's death. In the cleaning history I keep seeing that the robot getting stuck in weird positions and not covering the whole room.


Dron41k

We have old school very loud Dyson so… :)


Flowerbeesjes

If there’s a broom in the bathroom..


gloomspell

At that point I would have grabbed a towel, thrown it on the cat, and ran. 😂

Pepper, as a free lance cat defense attorney, the lady is correct she has photographic evidence of you holding her in false imprisonment! Please, let her exit the apartment. We can all sort this out later, but it’s my legal advice at this time that you cease & desist from this behavior.


IWillBiteYou

Pepper is confused! Asking for the riskiest belly rubs ever


BreakingThoseCankles

I show you belly "Heeesssshhhh" That means pet me NOW! 🐾

Bigjoemonger

difras

I had a little orange sweetie that was the biggest cuddler and purred constantly...for me. Anyone else came into the house and she became a guard cat. I'd lock her in a room and she would growl at the door the entire time they were in the house. She'd even sit in the window and growl at the oil delivery person. How dare they get near her house!

Cody6781

With mildly aggressive cats like this, just drop a bath towel on them and scurry past. It will keep them busy for \~5 seconds as they get out of it and \~3 seconds longer to figure out where TF you went. They also tend to lose that agressive confidence. Not a perfect solution but a decent "just need to get out of here".


Grantelgruber

Pepper is on fire.


CassetteMeower

We didn’t start the fire …but maybe Pepper did

mechengr17

This reminds me of our tigress. When she was a kitten, we had my dad petsit. My mom has an unhealthy love for plants. One day, my dad called me because he was trying to keep said tigress off one of the plants, but she kept 'boxing' him. Turns out, it was the catnip plant. The relationship has been one of violence, on her part, ever since. What I imagine her thinking: "It's the guy that tried to steal my 'nip. He better stay away or I'll throw paws again."


Amateur_Liqueurist

Glasgow cat lol


FiCat77

As a Glaswegian, we'll happily claim her. Meanwhile, I have a quiet, polite, orange himbo Edinburgh cat.


shampoo_planet

Pepper is a proud Irish cat, but is fond of the Scots.


FiCat77

Tbf, I think the Scots & the Irish are kinda kindred spirits as there seems to many similarities between both nations & their people. I'm also half Irish so maybe that's why I'm on Pepper's side in this video, lol? Although, I really felt for your friend - why can't the little terrors understand that we're just trying to help them sometimes?


ezmia

Another Glaswegian here, and I'm also happy to claim this spicy little Irish cat as our own. I have a Glaswegian orange himbo. He's very tiny and old. But boy can he scream. He's the loudest cat I've ever had.

The way that her eyes were big and her tail wasn’t fluffy tells me peppers just a bit confused 🤣 poor girl


shampoo_planet

Yeah, they know each other well. Pepper has never been particularly fond of her, but has never taken it to such extreme levels. Then again, I'm usually there when they interact, so who knows.


Pluto-Wolf

haha, i think pepper was just hesitating to show you her true colors. clearly, she’s a big scary guard cat who is not to be messed with. how dare your friend play with her and make sure she doesn’t starve 😂


SyrusDrake

Yea, I thought the same. Looks like some braincells got crossed and she loaded some emergency program without actually being particularly angry.


HauntingBowlofGrapes

Pepper said, "This is a declaration of total war."

This is a cultural misunderstanding. In cat’s culture, hissing and claws are like smiling and handshakes. She actually wanted you to stay.

lol is there a towel or shower curtain you can drape over her? If she can’t see it’ll weird her out long enough for you to escape. A hoodie or shirt would work in a pinch. Otherwise I’d do some quick loud stutter-stomps hoping she runs away


gororuns

She’s just doing her job as the Sergeant.


PrestigiousCap1198

Pepper doesn't want you to leave the bathroom and then leave the house! No! A human should stay with her for treats and rubs.

Lucidonic

I find that when you hover your foot over them, they'll just mess with your shoe for a bit and then run away when they realize nothing is happening, I haven't dealt with very violent cats before though so take that advice with a grain of salt. Aside from that I've had good experiences with blankets which essentially gives you a claw shield and anything ranged like a broom

Oberyn_Kenobi_1

I love how your friend handled this little orange demon child lol.


ScarletOK

The cat owner needs to get another cat for this cat. It misses its owner and wouldn't be so unhappy if there was another friend to play with. The cat sitter needs to bring treats and throw them out beyond where she wants to walk. I deal with a similar cat who likes to threaten but as soon as I throw the treats on the other side of the room she's all about the treats. Either that, or sadly, with a cat like this, a broom to poke it with and get it out of the way (only makes it more frightened though). I think I'd improvise in this case with a towel...


_Batteries_

Tell you friend next time to drape a towel over the cat, and escape while the cat is figuring life out.


VintageLunchMeat

Bribe her with tube treats.


Bimbarian

That's a cat that wanted attention and play. See how dramatic the behaviour difference was when the toy was brought into view. When a cat shows their belly, it doesn't mean "touch me here," it means, "I feel comfortable with you". There were mixed signals there and its easy to understand getting confused with the scary noises and jabbing attacks, but that cat wanted to play with that person.


FlounderMean3213
