12 Stories about pets that rule the house

Sometimes, we think that pets are quite predictable: they follow the rules imposed by their owners, they try to obey them in the name of survival, and even if they are mischievous occasionally, it’s only because they have instincts. But, in fact, paying more attention to the routine of houses with pets, we discovered that they are the ones who are in charge and establish the rules there, even if their owners do not always realize and admit it.

We, from awesome.clubwe love stories about smart and resourceful animals, so we can’t help but appreciate the extraordinary accounts of netizens who have succumbed to their pets.

My parrot understood “no” in its own way. He understands that he is doing something wrong when he hears a “no” and even manages to pronounce the word, but that doesn’t stop him from continuing. So every time I hear him utter a “no”, even though he’s out of my field of vision, I’m sure he’s doing something not allowed. © wow-david / TumblrMy brother conditioned his cat to “touch your palm”, rewarding her with treats. It sounds funny, but now, she believes she deserves food every time she touches someone’s hand. I can no longer eat with her around as she gives my hand a quick tap and immediately takes whatever is on my plate. No, Kelly, that’s not how it works. © the-sky-traveler / TumblrMy boyfriend and I have had a cat for eight years. Sometimes, when I fight with him, we try to sleep in separate rooms, but without success, as the kitten starts running from one room to another, purrs and even bites. In fact, if we close the doors, she starts to scratch them, meowing incessantly. So we’re forced to make up and sleep together, and she happily settles in between us. © Podslushano / Vk

“My dog’s posture shows that I should feel guilty about working and not playing with him.”

My roommate has two big dogs and I have a small one. The big ones love to play, but every time they make too much noise, my little dog lifts his head and growls, very softly enough for them to hear. Surprisingly, when he does this, the big ones stop for a minute and then go back to playing, but silently. It’s unreal! © CDC_ / Reddit I once went with my kids to a farm and we noticed a little goat stuck to a fence by its horns. Sitting on the grass, her gaze conveyed all the sadness in the world. We tried to free her, but we couldn’t. We felt sorry for her and decided to feed her, then spend some time petting her. Later we looked for the administrator to report the fact. But before I could open my mouth, he cut me off: “Yes, we know. A little goat is stuck in the fence. She is Brenda, she knows how to free herself, but she doesn’t, simply to receive affection and food in her mouth ”. © his-quietus-make / TumblrLast night I found out that for some time now my cat has been going to a nearby bar every day where, thanks to the kindness of the staff, he gets food. There’s even a picture of him on the bar wall. © thwphipps / Twitter

“Sometimes my cat experiences his existential crisis inside the fridge.”

My cats have a hobby: they position themselves in different corners of the room and start meowing desperately until I find out what they want. In fact, they don’t need anything except affection, and they are very attentive to who gets my attention first. Yes, I’m sure this is a form of competition. © prokopetz / TumblrWhen I was in college, I lived with a roommate on the second floor of the student housing, and whenever we went out, we left the balcony door closed. However, many times when we returned, we would find my dog ​​outside. One day, we finally discovered that my colleague’s cat would open the door, wait for the dog to leave, and prevent him from entering again. © vonMishka / RedditI find it really amusing that pets set house rules, and owners just follow them. For example, my cat never goes to bed before we do. So, every night at 10:30 pm, he starts pushing us into the bedroom, and us adults are forced to adopt the sleep routine of a ten-pound cat. © mixbecca / Twitter

“This is Billie. She couldn’t understand why, when leaving the house, only I take the keys, and not her. So now she has her own and takes them with her every time we go out for a walk.”

My cat is poorly adapted for life. He is evil, like a thousand devils, and bites worse than a dog. What makes him frustrated is not being able to escape the apartment. All of his attempts somehow end up in the neighbor’s pantry. But on one occasion he disappeared. We put up ads with his picture all over the neighborhood and looked for him for a week. In the end, it turns out that he was in the neighbor’s pantry the whole time. In complete silence. © Podslushano / VkIt’s been two weeks since we adopted a puppy. We started training him, but our cat is furious when he sees that we reward his new little friend with treats. As a result, we had to teach both of them together and, to be honest, the cat turned out to be a better student than the dog. © Dr_Julian_Helisent / Reddit I went to visit my grandmother at her farm and brought her a watermelon. When it was time to taste it, I took a piece and sat in the backyard. A dog approached and started looking at me, asking for my fruit. I couldn’t resist and gave it to him. It seems that he liked it, because he made a point of showing all his satisfaction. A week later, my grandmother called, crying: she went to pick the cucumbers, but there were none of them whole, only the gnawed ends. I even know who did it… The dog thought it was watermelons and left my grandmother without cucumbers! © Podslushano / Vk
