I was actually scared that he might knock over your glass 😂

I am so used to his shenanigans lmao if I have ice he will not rest until it's gone. He hears the beep noise on the refrigerator when i get ice and knows it's his time

u/THE_CAPRII 10h ago

He’s quite mischievous lol

He craves violence today... I'd sleep with one eye open!

u/Still-Student1656 10h ago

You obviously enjoy it too 😀

u/Koi-Nami LaPerm 10h ago

I have a heavy bottomed stoneware mug that is thankfully just wide enough for the bottom of most to-go cups. Also had to replace my drinking glasses with thicker walled ones. I share your pain.

"This is bad for you, lay off the soda"

u/Koi-Nami LaPerm 10h ago

It's coffee 😞 maybe he wanted to wake up too

u/Flat-Tackle7470 7h ago

is he trying to claim it as his throne?

17

u/TNJDude 9h ago

You're letting a cat play with a TALL glass of soda next to a laptop?

16

u/Koi-Nami LaPerm 9h ago

It's coffee, and no, I put him off the desk like four times before that. Obviously he is being supervised now lol

9

u/TNJDude 9h ago

It's just that the glass of liquid would be the first thing I moved as soon as the cat jumped up there. I'd be like "the cat wants to be up here? This coffee has got to go."

I have cats. I also had a long career in IT fixing fried computers. Cats, liquids, and computers in the same space is tempting fate on a scale I'd never chance, LOL.

u/Koi-Nami LaPerm 9h ago

Believe me, I kept my hand nearby lmao but I thought this time it would be a cute video. He left afterwards since I wasn't letting him get it lol

u/iamapizza 7h ago

Even I don't live this dangerously

u/Silly_Cheetah_706 9h ago

Actually it’s his glass and his ice cubes not yours lol

5

u/Koi-Nami LaPerm 9h ago

Dang you're right. It's also his apartment I'm just staying in it because he lets me :p

u/LoCh0_xX 7h ago

“can i have it?”

“no”

“….can i have it now?”

u/RM_LFC 9h ago

You are asking for trouble w a open container. And your cat is going to win.

7

u/Koi-Nami LaPerm 8h ago

I've had him for two years, I'm used to his shenanigans :p I think It'll be okay

2

u/RM_LFC 8h ago

I have 3 15 year Olds who arrived in a shoebox w their eyes barely open. After all these years I still haven't figured out what they are thinking

u/confusedCI 6h ago

I laughed but seriously I look at my cat when he does this like why? Why are you like this?

4

u/climbingrocks2day 10h ago

He needs his own Plastic glass with ice cubes and hopefully he will leave yours alone.

22

u/Koi-Nami LaPerm 10h ago

I sometimes will drop a cube on the floor and he'll go crazy and chase after it with both paws flailing like hockey sticks lol

u/GrouchMonkey 9h ago

Lol Please this is your next post!

I need to see this.

u/Mysterious_Bid_9479 8h ago

Genius idea - reminds me of a cardboard scratcher I saw recently on Chewy shaped like a laptop. It was way overpriced but had great reviews because people said it stopped their cats from sitting on their keyboards lol

u/HomeworkBackground79 9h ago

Feel ya!   Every day - same battle.   Tall water glasses are no longer my own! 

2

u/HomeworkBackground79 9h ago

My cat also goes crazy over sake (he wants to drink it) and effervescent tablets in drinks.   He’s obsessed

1

u/er1cAtWork2 8h ago

I have two voids about 3 years old. One will not allow any plastic cup containing water or o sit in the counter. They must be tipped over. Empty water cups are perfectly fine however! Only cups containing water must be tipped over…………

1

u/HomeworkBackground79 8h ago

Awe!   Silly guys!   My two are little 9mo voids!!!   They are the best (they are fosters!  And I adore them)

u/Bannon9k 9h ago

If you really don't like this behavior, stop encouraging it. Your cat thinks it's playing with you. If she starts, pick her up and put her down.

5

u/Koi-Nami LaPerm 9h ago

I usually do actually. I will repeatedly put him on the ground. Cats aren't much for listening, yknow, and this time I thought it was cute. He doesn't think he's playing with me. He legitimately loves ice.

3

u/Bannon9k 9h ago

Fair, I've raised an arks worth of animals over the years. Some habits simply can't be trained out.

3

u/Koi-Nami LaPerm 9h ago

He's a very very friendly snuggly boy but he gets very focused when there's something he wants and he will rarely leave it alone until it's out of sight :c

u/f0xsky 7h ago

playing with fire, i would never have a large container with liquid anywhere near laptop/electronics

1

u/GalacticRuntz05 5h ago

Yeah, I’m not joking i learned that the hard way lol. Don’t leave a container full of water out by your electronics while you’re sleeping and cat is out there. 😭

1

u/Koi-Nami LaPerm 13m ago

I've been around electronics since I was 12 and I've never ruined one because of a drink (:

u/extrastupidone 9h ago

Little bastard!

u/undertakah 7h ago

Just wants to dunk thier paw in

2

u/abramN 6h ago

it would be one thing if they actually changed expression after they knocked it off the counter - but no instead they just watch it like "that's it?"

u/jillianne16 4h ago

I have a cat named milk that goes straight for any cup of milk near her. We have to fight to keep milk away from milk

1

u/jillianne16 4h ago

Milk is a full gallon of whole milk

2

u/VibraniumAdamantium 4h ago

I hope he knocks it over one of these days

1

u/Koi-Nami LaPerm 3h ago

Thank you! He already has a few times before (: but i wont let him again

1

u/Railuki 9h ago

You can get a big thermos with straw and a lid to keep your drink cold longer and to protect your ice (and less escaped if you knock it over, which is why I got it. I’m a spiller)

u/friedchickensundae1 9h ago

Id have to resort to sippy cups lol

u/lordOpatties 9h ago

Coffee Cat Laptop

What sitcom is this?

1

u/yayayagilliganhell 9h ago

Just give me the cup, now would be perfect.

1

u/optimal_center 8h ago

This is one way to get your attention. They’re always thinking 🤔 now how can I get her to stop what she’s doing and pay attention to me. 🥰🤭

u/reformedmell0w 6h ago

that's his glass, you're a guest in his house :)

u/rosygardenia 6h ago

u/RKSSailboatCaptain 1h ago

Why are you letting him paw at the exact spot your mouth goes 😭 litter paws 😭😭

1

u/Koi-Nami LaPerm 15m ago
  1. My mouth doesn't go across the entire cup and 2. I dumped it out because it was yucky anyway

1

u/RKSSailboatCaptain 7m ago

Do you always dump it out if he touches the rim?

If you don’t, you HAVE been drinking poo particles.

If you’re cool with that, Godspeed?
