My cats throw temper tantrums and then get sulky every time I change into my work uniform.
I keep telling them that when they start contributing to this household I won't have to work so much, but no luck so far. I keep reminding them that they can't get mad about me going to work when I'm the only one of us 3 paying for rent, food, and cat toys.
I wish I could train them to at least clean or do laundry or something while I'm gone.
A few years ago, I showed one of our cats how to clean the water bowl, step by step. He was on the counter, watching, so I assumed he wanted to know.
Hasn't done it once.
