Cats Ignoring Their Owners: Comics That Are Too Accurate

You call your cat’s name. It looks at you, blinks slowly, and does absolutely nothing. Every cat owner knows the special art of being ignored by their own pet. These comics capture that one-sided relationship with painful accuracy.

The selective hearing

A cat can ignore its name a hundred times, then come running at the faint sound of a treat bag. The comics love this hypocrisy.

The slow blink of dismissal

Ask a cat for attention and you may get a slow blink, which is both affection and rejection at once.

Sitting just out of reach

Cats love to sit close enough to be seen but far enough to avoid being petted. It is a carefully calculated distance.

Turning their back

Nothing says feline confidence like a cat turning its back the moment you want to bond. The comics capture the sting perfectly.

Attention on their terms

The moment you stop trying, the cat appears and demands everything. Timing is always theirs to decide.

Ignoring expensive toys

You buy the fancy toy; the cat plays with the box. This betrayal is a comic staple.

The keyboard takeover

The one time a cat wants you is when you are busiest, usually right on top of your keyboard.

Secretly attached

For all the aloofness, cats often follow their owners room to room, proving the indifference is partly an act.

Why we forgive them

The occasional cuddle makes all the ignoring worth it, which is exactly how cats keep us hooked.
