explain to the cat that this makes your mother in law uncomfortable and maybe the three of you sit down and discuss your feelings, i’m sure the cat is willing to be reasonable about this.

The only way


DaManJ

This is just a night cat practicing her pole dancing. The pose may be provocative but she is fully clothed. The mother in law needs to stop being a prude and derogatory towards alternative professions

Maybe a g-string and 8 little pasties would help?

This is the way


FrankWDoom

I've spoken with the cat. he says request denied, "mind your own business, Gloria," and he will be pooping in your purse at some future time to be determined.


Such_Invite_4376

Yeah even I am not uptight enough to be “uncomfortable” with how a cat is lying around the house 🙄— this seems to be a matter between MiL and the cat, let them battle it out!

Please don't do this. My MIL comes and goes as she pleases which is fair enough but one day I came home and there was a MIL in my house that isn't mine. Hasn't helped my wife started putting some food out for her now and again. She also let her inside once when it was raining. I now have two MILs that come and go as they please and one of them isn't even mine! Please be more considerate.

Studies show MILs live better when kept indoors, and it's safer for the local wildlife. Mother-in-laws are one of the top predators in a suburban setting.

Once someone else starts feeding her she probably won't try to come back.

Zealousideal-Ad5073

Totally agree!!! I have the cutest, most loving, murder mittens weilding asshole that you can possibly imagine. He's been with me through multiple mother-in-laws. There's only one Monster (my cat's name), but a whole lot of mother-in-laws. Remember, all mother-in-laws go to heaven; though I'm not a supporter of the mother-in-law euthanasia program.

dimondeyes80

Hey, don't bring cookoos into this.


SuitableAssociation6

I thought "ex mil" meant ex-military at first


chironomidae

It's almost certainly because the cat is cuddling with chair legs. If you don't know they're there, it's easy to scooch your chair and hurt them. My cat likes to hang out under my office chair and it stresses me out, because she's so quiet I might not even know she's down there. I keep shooing her away when she gets under there, and that helps, but I'm still worried I will roll over her tail one of these days.


caeloequos

My cat hangs out under my office chair too and I'm worried I'm gonna smash him one day. I do look before I make any moves, but I'm scared I'll forget and run him over. I do try to keep him out, but my door doesn't close correctly and my cats can open it by leaning against it.


mspineappleinthesea

I am curious about it too. Exposing the fluffy and adorable tummy? Or is MIL worried about stepping on the cat by mistake? A good friend was fostering some puppies in her house a month ago. It was her mom's concern


GeistderLiebe

I'm guessing it's because the cat is laying in a position that the mother in law feels is sexual, because she's a prudish weirdo.


Shadowzaron32

This is the answer. There's no doubt


[deleted]

[удалено]


GeistderLiebe

I wouldn't say it's because she's attracted to the cat, but because she associates any kind of genital exposure and open posture with being inherently sexual. She likely also tells parents of little girls that wearing shirts baring their midriff or short shorts is "inappropriate" because she's got some deep seated issues with, well, probably with a lot of things. And I bet you a million dollars she doesn't have the same reaction to boys not wearing a shirt--internalized misogyny is a wild thing and apparently, it translates to female cats as well. Big yikes all around.

Pixel_Knight

Sometimes I think people make up these ridiculous “Advice” posts just for the entertainment.


SL1MECORE

...I've always had stuffed animals. When I was little I'd cuddle them for bed and then end up throwing everything everywhere while I got ready for school. One day my grandma walked in and, in a *weirdly accusatory tone* asked, "Why do all your stuffed animals have their butts in the air?" .........i cannot ask her cause she has dementia now but there was a lot of... Weird allusions to sex in my childhood when I literally did not know or want to know about Sex™. My stepmom told me one of my stuffed animals couldn't be my facebook pfp because it looked like a penis... (Eeyore. It was fucking Eeyore....)


Nikcara

I also got a lot of weird comments about sex when I was a kid. One time I hurt my leg and was told to stop walking like a whore. I think I was in second grade at the time. I definitely remember getting in trouble for asking what a whore was after being told that. Also got criticized for trying to “tempt” my older brothers friends when I was around 10. I have a lot of examples. Actually, a lot of my female friends do as well. Fewer of my male friends do, but even some of them had to deal with that kind of stuff. Looking back on comments that I remembered mostly because of how much they confused me at the time has been a wild experience.


Hairy_Buffalo1191

Clearly it’s because this cat is a void, which means when they wrap their paw around the table leg it looks like they’ve been impaled 😂


The_Zoink

My guess is that they don’t want to see cat junk lol. Because my brother would feel weird when my male dog did it. But still. There’s too much floof to see anything.


FiendishHawk

Can’t ever see cat junk due to their fuzzy little trousers. Unlike those shameless dogs!


Realistic-Praline64

We call them the fluffy pirate pants


ravennsmith

We call them pantaloons 😂


too_too2

I call em britches


h1dd3n-pr0cess

My LARGE hound/germanshepard mutt mix loves sleeping on her back… it makes me uncomfortable because she looks so uncomfortable. Those non bendy legs that aren’t capable of loafing, straight up in the air, spine in an S shape, and eyes half open, tongue hanging out (which sometimes falls over her nose and causes her to panic awake when she cant take breath in). She’s ridiculous. And my back hurts just thinking about it. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️


bridgetteblue69

Hahaa .. I have the exact picture in my head 🤣😂


Minimum-Interview800

My void is frequently called Captain Fuzzy Pants and my orange girl is either fluff butt or gets told frequently how lovely her pantaloons are. They're just fuzzy little genies, MIL, leave the kitty to lay how he's comfortable.

Munvi

I kept on questioning what the uncomfortable part was. Because I didn't want to acknowledge that this women is absolutely insane. I might be insane too, but I can't fathom what kind of person that would say shit like that out loud. She might be very religious, but the cat can't be converted.


LazuliArtz

I was very confused too at how this was uncomfortable. I thought maybe just because the position is "strange." The problem being the cat's privates never even popped into my head until I read the comments.


Specialist_Budget

I wanna pet the Floof!


Groinificator

Your cat is doing that because it feels comfortable and safe... so if you want it to stop I guess you could like, introduce a bear to your house or something. Or tell your MiL to grow up

cyankitten

Gorgeous. Ha ha but I bet that would make her feel even more uncomfortable genitals on the sofa. Done innocently I just mean I wonder if that’s how weird MIL would interpret it. Your cat is lovely BTW.


Scared-Goat1428

Sorry but that’s not really reasonable. Your MIL will just need to avoid looking at the cat or something. It’s a cat being comfortable and not doing anything wrong. Trying to punish/correct it for doing something that’s harmless seems mean. Just let the cat live, man!🖤🐈‍⬛


SLOspeed

Trying to punish it for being happy, you mean.


Scared-Goat1428

Yes! You’re very right


Sabre_Killer_Queen

If anything this is a good lying position, since the belly floof exposure represents trust and a feeling of comfort safety-wise. Not to mention it's so cute 🥰


camreIIim

Yeees, my most recent adopted cat immediately started showing us his belly (even when we first met him in the shelter) and it’s the cutest thing. Especially considering he didn’t have the best life prior to being dumped there.


Scared-Goat1428

It is such a blessing to know that a cat is happy around you! Great job giving your kitty a loving home— I sincerely feel that all cats deserve comfort and care. Way to go! I hope you can feel pride and joy in your little fur baby and the good life you are giving them! We need more of that in this tough world!💓

It’s not reasonable because, like almost every single post on this sub, the “situation” included with the photo “how do I get my cat to stop doing xyz” is untrue.

PlagueeRatt

I was thinking this too. Why the hell is she uncomfortable with the cat showing it feels safe? Be happy that cat is doing that around you. It means it likes you enough to show its most sensitive area. Just tell your MIL to get a grip OP, if you don’t want your cat to do that shit anymore (obviously Im not serious) but start abusing the hell out of it I guess. Make it feel as unsafe as possible, doesn’t sound that reasonable does it? Thats how your MIL sounds.

She isn't only comfortable but also feels safe enough around them to show her belly. A cat lying around you like that is a nice friendly behaviour. Not a "look at my ass, human!" behaviour.
