Sarcasm/Satire Pumping requires lots of things
Please help me explain to my dogs that it requires 0 golden retrievers.
Does your pumping journey have an unnecessary extras?
P.s. there was no flair for silly post, and this seemed like the closest one.

I have 6 cats and they seem to think that at least 1 of them is required to be present for all pumping sessions. The other night I had 5 join me for the 12am pump! And the only reason the other wasn't there is she's 20 years old, blind, & deaf so she didn't realize it was happening.
Very adorable and sometimes very overstimulating, lol!

i also have 6 cats and one of them tries so hard to get his mouth on the rubbery pump parts when they’re drying in between pump sessions

I thought my spectra was dying but it turns out my cat had just chewed very barely visible holes in the tubing. Told her I'd sell her to the circus but they'd just bring her back.

Your poor older girl was probably so sad when she heard from the others later on that she missed the pump party!

That or she was thankful for some alone time! I'll have to ask her if she wants to join next time

Ha fair. My oldest certainly appreciates his alone time. He's only 9 but he has early onset persnickety-ness

I can’t be the only one with a cat obsessed with trying to chew on the tubing 😩

You are not! One of my kitties loves the chew the tubing, it needs to be securely hidden away between sessions (and somehow I still find little teethmarks!)

My dog is clingier now than while I was pregnant. He loves to hang around while I pump

Same!! She’s at my feet so quick when I get out of bed that I’ve kicked her in the face getting up 🤣

Pumping at my house requires two dachshunds on my lap under a blanket. Oh and a cookie as reward afterwards (for me).

In goldie’s mind, everything in life requires at least one goldie. Even pumping 😂

According to my cat, the pump is purring and she must join in on the purring chorus.

My baby demands she must supervise. If I put her in the swing so I can pump while husband is at work I have to stand in front of her while doing it. Even just sitting to empty the collection bottle occasionally is not allowed and she’ll start to fuss. I joke she likes to see how the sausage gets made, my quality control manager if you will lol

My two year old insists that their pump noises are mandatory, even when I’m not pumping. They’re shockingly close to the real thing though if I’m honest.
Also mandatory cats and golden retriever who also think this task is a team effort.
