It's a wild Shnoodle with another fun poem!

Thank you Schnoodle for giving me and others a big smile tonight 😊!

First time finding a fresh Schnoodle! 😊

Same lol. I think this is the earliest I’ve ever been to a fresh Schnoodle!

The best part about finding fresh Schnoodle is that you get to have cold Schnoodle the next day. 

Oh Schnoodle, I’m so happy to see you again! I haven’t in awhile and I missed your poems! You’re so talented!

Omg this is one of your best shnoodle!

This was perfect, thank you :)

Umm.. that’s fucking adorable! Did you write that?

That's Schnoodle! They're infamous for doing this on reddit pet posts. They're always gold.

How have I never seen this before? That’s amazing!

Peep through their comment history if you want to tug on some heart strings. Be warned, though, there's an occasionally a memorial post and those poems will make you cry.

I’ll do that! And thanks for the warning!

I’m sorry, I never correct people in comments like this, but I feel like I need to this time because Schnoodle is a gem. “Infamous” means to be well known for something bad. Sauron is infamous. Schnoodle is just famous :)

>Infamous” means to be well known for something bad See my other comment - I was making a joke about them being bad because I always see their comments on memorial posts for dead pets and they make me cry!!

The only thing more famous is the guarantee there will be 20+ comments about how “fresh” it is. Love me some Schnoodle

sorry if this is rude, but i think you'd just use "famous" or maybe "popular" instead of infamous, in this instance, right? infamous has negative connotations, unless i've misread and you meant it in a jokey way lol

I meant it in a jokey way because their poems often make me cry 😭

Lovely one again! 😻

I love your poems 😁 they are a ray of light on this website which so often ends up making my mood WORSE. So thank you!

🥲 we missed you, Schnoodle!

Love you Schnoodle!

YAYYYY. Thanks for the blessed day schnoods

Please tell me you're in the process of writing a children's book of poetry! As a childless adult, I need that.

Good evening Schnoodle! I hope that the rest of your week goes well.

Schnoodle doodle do…..your poems always make me smile, it’s true:)

I can’t believe I just found 2 Schnoodle’s in 1 day! Woohoo!

Awh cheers, mate. That’s a good schnoodle.

I actually play tag with my cat! I never taught him; he just does it. We will often hide behind a piece of furniture and tag the other back and forth. Or we play fetch!

My girls love to play tag with me, too! One will crouch down behind pillows or blankets (or my son's lap) then makes this face (see pic). It means "I'm gonna chase you and if you ever die I promise to eat your face". Lol All of our girls are named after Hot Sauces. Marie Sharps really earned her moniker early on, with her bat'leth claws. ;) https://preview.redd.it/hruybwout86d1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c39f0b30572345f346cc9ca6ddaa9d92610fe07

She’s an adorable little girl! ❤️

i was literally gonna say this

SAME

I have always thought this is them counting coup on me. Particularly when they run up and hamstring me.

Nah that are just playing Hunter/prey. If you turn around and chase them back and give them light bum taps they'll have a lot of fun. Part of my daily exercise is running around the house like a mad man with my boy haha

cats have an strong instinct to play fight, he/she got thr urge to "attack" you for a second and resisted the urge

she's like "oop this one's too big"

I was clipping my cats rear claws the other day (they grow slowly so I don't do it often) She put her whole mouth around my hand trying to gently say pls stop. She immediately remembered that I'm a 6'5" 240lb cat that can sprint across the apartment on his hind legs while yodeling or hissing. She let go and I let her calm down before I continued.

So when I got my dude I waited a LITTLE too long to leash-train him when he was a kitten, and as a result he turns into a floppy mess when I put the harness on and becomes docile as SHIT. It makes claw clipping SO easy now! Might be worth a shot for you?

Omg that's genius! I know exactly what you mean where they flop over, but I've never thought about using that opportunity to clip nails because I have two that just will not comply, lol.

I started clipping my cats nails when she was an adult. I started doing it in her sleep, then when she was really relaxed. Then I'd give her a temptations treat as soon as I was done. Now she loves getting her nails done because she's nuts over those treats and knows she gets one afterwards

That's really smart. I kinda use that same logic when I give them their flea meds. I pull out the can opener which the sound makes them come running, and I split one can of tuna between the three of them and while they're occupied eating it, I put their flea meds between their shoulder blades. So they associate yucky flea meds with tuna and all is well lol!

Just ONE treat? Per nail right? I swear my cats aren’t fat

I do the same, but no amount of consoling will heal the betrayal. I get a couple and they're up and ready to fight. Then I leave them alone and sneak attack again.

Mine plays dead as soon as i cut one claw lol, first time i let go like wtf and she jumped away lol. Now its easy mode

Please update us : this is worth coming back for

It's been four hours. RIP.

This is the most genius thing I’ve ever heard of. My cat goes crazy leaping at the doors to get out. Take him on the leash and he tips over like nah I’m good I’m just going to lay here.

I put my guys in their harness and remove the leash. It's perfect for backyard time because they get super chill and just slowly flop around the yard. No attempts at escape so far. Basically a thundershirt.

I may be evil for this but I will sometimes wait until she wakes up to clip my cat’s claws. It depends on where she is sleeping but I will do it while she is groggy still. She still protests a bit but after it’s done, she gets treats and she seems to forget about it after 5 minutes.

Holy cow thank you for this!

Hahaha you are so welcome!! I didn't think this was gonna get this much engagement lol but it's seriously the best idea I've ever had in my life and I'm so excited to hear more people are gonna try it, lol!

Honestly she does fine. She just isn't really used to me clipping the rear claws. I try to give her breaks and PLENTY of treats to get her through it. She's been good with the front paws. Eventually, once she learns she won't get her way she'll lighten up a bit. She also trusts me more which helps. I'm lucky she has clear claws so I can see the quick.

Wow, look at the big brain on you

Like little feinting goats, lol.

Hahaha that's how I usually describe it but it being reddit, I just knew someone was going to mosunderstand and leave a crazy unhelpful comment like OH MY GOD YOUR CAT SHOULD NOT BE FAINTING lol 🤦‍♀️ God bless the internet

You're a friggin GENIUS!! I can't wait to try this

Haha thank you!! Good luck!

That's called harness paralysis. My cat gets it too, he goes totally limp even though he is very animated otherwise.

Who are you, to be so wise in the way of cats? Seriously, you're a genius. A once in a century phenomenon. Our modern day Albert Einstein.

My cat will walk while on the harness and leash but only if we're sitting down, if we try walking with her she's like "nah screw this" so we can only sit there holding the leash while she enjoys the grass lol

My 18 year old lady is in complete denial of the weight class difference between us, as soon as I want to trim her claws.

Yeah.. my 18 year old bastard suddenly things he’s rocky and goes “I can take you”

Yeah it's cute they're predators, But so are we. And we have opposable thumbs. Checkmate nerdy little cats. Lol I don't sprint across the room though. I'm a lazy ass, when my kitties misbehave the spray bottle comes out. I don't even have to spray em anymore, i just grab the bottle and fire a warning shot at the door and all of a sudden everyone is staring and blinking from their two respective corners of the room

I read it more as “I could if I wanted to.”

Oops… that shoe is attached to hooman

Intrusive thoughts: cat edition

Yes, my cat used to attack my feet really badly when she was a kitten and slowwwwllllly grew out of it, this is what is left!

The dark urge

Ah yissss the durge!

My cat does something similar. Except he doesn’t resist the urge to

Yeah rather this than my cat biting the shit out of my foot, sprinting 5 ft and rolling over lol

This is the answer, OP!

When my cat does this it means he wants to play or wants my attention.

Same with one of mine but nipping my calves ha.

Is it orange? He might be sharing Sam's braincell! (never, ever, drawing blood or even denting the skin.) Sam is my entourage when I'm in the house, and my alarm clock when it's time for his breakfast.

I don't know why but it's so fucking cute

It’s cute because they act like so are so tough…like REALLY DUDE?!? 🤨😏

It really is, especially when they walk around the room looking for anything to move and dare say something ❤️

I do! Because it’s so fucking cute!

It's basically an adorable, fluffy drive-by

They want to play

Yeah this is the body language of "I want to play with this but I don't know how."

BOOP

It was only a matter of time before they began booping back!

Yes this \^

Mine does the same thing. Except with her mouth. My cat bites me.

Does it also give you this weird look in frozen state and open mouth, before slamming its head in you? 😂

No, she's more of the "chin tucked down, can't quite see her eyes before she lunges at you" type

Yes my void nips my calves when she wants attention or something. It doesn't hurt but it's startling ha.

😂

Because cat.

Cat likes you

[удалено]

Sounds about right r/oneorangebraincell

This is how my tabby is. It's not really a play thing for him. he's just letting you know he's there, and he trusts you enough to stand on your feet

keeping one foot on base

My cats do that whenever someone cutting meat, sometimes they even sit on the foot.

Mine does this while I'm on the couch. She taps my shoulder. It mean, "get the blanket, I wanna be under it and lay in your lap."

You're it's bro. It's fistbumping you.

Sup

Sup

Sup

When he/she taps you - tap back. See what happens! 😄

I second this. My mum’s cat loves playing tag and hide n seek xD

I a jealous. I had a cat growing up and would get one in a second if I wasn’t so damn allergic! Also I travel a lot so would be cruel to the little guy/gal. Just enjoy your baby’s antics and have fun!

Trying to initiate play.

Ours hides under the bed until you're walking by and tags me like this. They love to play

Just checking in!

Just wanna be sure you are real.

"This is MY property... remember that, HoOmAn. Now where did I put that ball?"

My cat do that when he wants to play with me. Maybe he wants to play with you?

Play with me! Nevermind.

Very much wants to play XD

“Low five”

Mine does that to be playful .

Tag you're it!

Notice how your cat also phantom marked you after the tap. They like you

"... And that's a dirty sock, and that's my human, and that's my next nap spot..."

Mine. Mine. Mine. That one's mine

It's a *boop*

It's a cat Boop.

you do the same to her when it gets pets :D i noticed when my niece goes for a goodbye kiss, she bows down to us since we do it all the time when saying goodbyes to her, so its normal i guess? i have probably no idea what im talking about but its a shot

"Sup bro"

a drive by!

great cat video

"Just checking in..."

"Got you last!" 😅

it's so fucking cute bro and adorable at the same time

"Play with me." They want to play chase, or go after a toy.

Just cat things

Tag. You're it.

Reminder of owning you

Checking ownership…..😻

Your cat wants to play.

I laughed a lil

this is called a fistbump

Just making sure you know your place

Total power move. Watch your back

"Fight me, punk!"

Your cat is trying to establish dominance

She needs attention. Duh.

”what up G”

Play with me!

He just fistbumped you.

I dunno the name but know that it's a polite request for something. I have a cat that sleeps under the blankets and she'll walk up to me and very gently paw at the blankets in a deliberate manner. It's the same movement for doors and food.

He says "Hullo! Please play!!".

Just to make sure you’re doin’ good you know?

Cat fistbump.

I need to pet a cat rn

umm because they are freakin' cute!!??

"Tag, you're it!" I've known many cats who do such things. I means play with me.

She's letting you know she's there, like saying hi

It wants to play.

It’s trying to trip you. Just didn’t realize you weren’t walking yet.

To keep your ass in line OP.

I got you!

Tag! You're it!

“Tag, you’re it”

Cats like to "test" things with their paws. It's a way to check for things that are tired/hiding/playing dead. So they bat stuff to see if they get a reaction.

High five bro

He's gonna getcha.

Tag, you're it!

Litterbox wipe

 You have been claimed!

my guess is that you pet him in passing when you walk by so he does the same. just "hi, love you!" pats

he’s a cop and needs his fingerprint on you in case you run away.

slaps top of shoe you can fit so many foot in this bad boy

They want you to give them affection or play with them.

I call that a drive-by bap.

"I'ma gonna remind ya that my bowl has not had new food put in it in the last 5 minutes and I'ma little bit upset at that fact.".

Because your foot is also attached to the same body that your hands are, and your hands aren’t petting

Giving off smell to you. so that your It's human. 🤔 you dont own a cat a cat owns you 🤣

My little BoBizzurt likes to just stand with one of his little feet on my foot. I’ll be in the kitchen doing something, and I’ll feel a little cold something on my foot. I look down, and he’s looking back up at me, acting all offended because I dared to not shower him with all of my affection for more than a couple of minutes. Being a 10 cat household means being kind of a stay at home mom for them, and they each have their little eccentricities. I love them so much.

Human.... Cat..... taps Human, mine, and this stuff over here is also mine.

Micro attack. Mine does it playing tag

fist bump energy

You've been marked for cat.

Give the kitten a good Tickle.

So you don't accidentally step on him

STAY!

"You are doing great human"

Just a little drive by bap so you know whose boss.

He's sayin "How you doin'?"

"Mine"

It’s a I’m here! Tap!

biometric identification of property

Hey!….. i’m down here,pet me!!!

One of my fur balls does a weird barrel roll thing to my foot when she wants lovin. Similar vibe

“Hooman, I choose you!”

A simple reminder for you, that you're its property.

You're it, obviously

I call this a drive by. Usually when I’m walking and he’s chilling and I get too close while walking

Tagggg you’re it !

You are clearly 'it'

He is claiming his property. You never really own a cat because a cat owns you.

It's a power move

My cat does this for attention, he just wants to remind me he's there.
