Man Accidentally Turned His Pet Cat Into A "Monster" After One Mistake

by Kylin

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.

Keep scrolling to read the adorable story and some of the top comments.

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

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.
