I was cooking something in the oven and had my oven open and my cat walked by, then I started having intrusive thoughts fearing that my cat would get caught in the oven. And I just told my cat loudly “Noooooo get away from the oven its dangerous”. I think I might have to spray my cat with water any time she gets near the ovens.
One time I had a candle lit, and my cat was on the floor looking at it with those eyes. You know the ones. The eyes that IMMEDIATELY give away that she’s thinking about doing something bad. I was in the kitchen, but the way the walls are cut out you can see this ledge of the kitchen from the living room.
So the candle is on the ledge, and I’m thinking “she’s going to try to knock the candle to the floor, and set the whole house on fire!!!”
So I grabbed two pans and started banging them together while running at her, and yelling HEY SPEED!!! YOU SEE ME SPEED!!! HEEEYYYY SPEEEED!!! SPEED SPEED SPEED!!! all while banging a frying pan against a pot. Basically just making scary loud noises. And I did this for 10 minutes. It made her afraid of candles. Which is fine. I never had my house set on fire.
Forbidden load of laundry.
Makes me nervous looking at this.

Please dont put your cats in the washer.
