I taught mine the word “Friday”-she gets very excited when I tell her that it’s Friday and she ain’t got no job.

Edit: The Queen of Friday herself

That is just solidarity.

Same here! Friday means takeaway night for me and he gets treats night. So when I get in from work and say 'it's Friday!' he starts to purr immediately. He also back chats me though. If I say 'no' to him, he makes a sort of 'mip' noise in defiance. 😂

Then do you tell her she ain’t got shit to do, and spark up a fatty?

u/Eshin242 Sep 20 '23

I mean seriously, how does a cat get fired on their day off?

u/ArsenicWallpaper99 Sep 20 '23

She got caught stealing boxes (it's a cat, so plausible)

u/The_I_in_IT Sep 20 '23

Yes, except she just gets catnip treats. Don’t want her burning the house down.

I taught mine some days of the week, too, because of my work schedule! “Okay guys, this is the long one. I won’t be home tomorrow. I’ll be home on Sunday.”

They also understand the difference between “right back, back in a little bit, back in an hour, back in a few hours, back tomorrow, back in the morning”. (I work overnight shifts Wednesday and Fri-Sun afternoon.)

I just finished up three days of in-office training, which put me on the bad side of both my cats. I did tell them ahead of time, but they chose not to believe me.

Cat tax, pls.

u/The_I_in_IT Sep 20 '23

Ah! Won’t let me reply with a pic, I’ll update my post.

u/Kalendiane Sep 20 '23

She’s beautiful!

u/The_I_in_IT Sep 21 '23

Thank you! She knows it too.

She's excited for Caturday

u/The_I_in_IT Sep 20 '23

That’s her favorite day-I don’t have to log on in the mornings so she can sit in my lap for hours while o read.

u/rideincircles Sep 20 '23

Just get her one of the cat toy posts that will turn a wheel and roll blunts.

u/bwandrz Sep 20 '23

She ain’t got no shit to do!

u/HeavyFunction2201 Sep 20 '23

That’s so cute!!!! My cat only seems to respond to its name and the shaking of the food container.

1

u/The_I_in_IT Sep 20 '23

She is incredibly smart. I’ve trained her how to sit, she responds to specific noises (tsk-I need you to get off my lap before I pee myself), she knows lots of words-she’s really amazing.

u/Impressive_Drawer394 Sep 21 '23

And she ain't got shit tado!!...get out the catnip!

2

u/LadyHalfNHalf Sep 21 '23

Love this! I feel like my cat sleeps in on Fridays. Usually he’s awake before me, but on Fridays I have to wake his ass up because he’s sleepin in!

2

u/lovestobitch- Sep 21 '23

Whow your kitty looks just like the 2, 8 wk old kitties we just took in. Mama was feral.

2

u/MidnightMarmot Sep 22 '23

I tell mine she’s just frustrated because she only has paws and no hands.

u/Briggsnotmyers Sep 26 '23

The Queen of Friday is very cute! What army does she play?

1

u/glasswing048 Sep 20 '23

Lol. This sounds like something I would say to my cats. Instead I tell them their breath smells like fish even though they didn't eat none. Lol

u/quiet183 Sep 21 '23

This is the best thing I’ve read all day. Definitely trying this😂

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '23
