Man Accidentally Turned His Pet Cat Into A "Monster" After One Mistake
Cats aren’t generally known for being as silly and playful as dogs are. They have this persistent (albeit largely incorrect) stereotype of being aloof, cold, and lazy.
Any cat owner will happily bust those preconceived notions with stories about their own cats. Cat owners really love sharing about their cats, I know because not only do I have friends with many cat owners, but I am also one.
Many cats love to play with their owners, some like to chase or be chased, others like the usual cat toys like feather wands, and some even like to play fetch. (I have a fetch player and another who hasn’t quite figured out the return part of fetch.)
Some cats even enjoy a good old fashion wrestle, and can even manage to wrestle with their people without tearing them up. A Reddit user, Ser_Veaux accidentally discovered that his cat enjoyed roughhousing after play fighting with his dog.
In a post on r/TIFU, a Reddit community where Redditors share their mishaps for all to enjoy, mock or sympathize, Ser_Veaux shared how he found out his cat loves to roughhouse. And how that ended up turning her into a monster who aggressively demands rough and tumble play, and will not take ‘No’ for an answer.
The responses were mainly in solidarity with Ser_Veaux, sharing their own accidentally taught “bad” behaviors their cats have. Each one is as wholesome and funny as the next.

OP would never expect what he was getting himself into when he randomly thought, "let's roughhouse with the cat."

I'm glad somebody took the time to point out how freaking adorable this TIFU is
These kitties love spankings
How I imagine Bill be like:
This kitty truly loves belly rubs
It's (not) a trap!
Kitty patiently worked for years to train her humans to give her belly rubs
Kitties have the softest bellies to rub
Cats definitely have their preferences
And they're not shy about letting you know
Their kitty wants all the pets
All. The. Pets.
Black cats are truly a unique experience
I've never met a "normal" black cat
As if OP's misfortune wasn't enough of a warning
It's okay to learn from someone else's mistake
A curious nighttime routine
But it can be nice having some kitty company in the bathroom
A lot of people think you need to be gentle with cats because they're so small
I wonder if fluffing up a cat feels like a mini-massage
A cat’s love language?
Do all cats need/want roughhousing?
I've never heard of a ticklish cat
But it would make sense, I hate overly gentle touches too
Clever cat
If it works, why change things
I can only imagine how much their kitty loves being able to smell all the things
Maybe not ALL the things...
Ah yes, cat yodeling
There are many ways to help support your cat with yodeling
It's a bittersweet experience for this user
It can be a bit much to be constantly hunted
Mistakes were made
Make sure you have cat-safe plants!
It can be surprising how quickly cats can pick up on things. It’s been studied and cats are as smart and trainable as dogs, it’s just a matter of IF they want to be trained.
Do you have a cat that you’ve trained, whether purposefully or accidentally? Tell us all about them in the comments section below!
And be sure to share this with a fellow cat-lover.
