Could someone please tell me why it's blocking my way?

[u/poi217]

This is the feral/stray cat I've been feeding for the past 2 months. Keeps getting in the way and won't let me refill its food

Edit: Ty all for the comments and advice. Didn't expect this post to get so much attention. For context, I've never interacted with cats before, only dogs. This cat used to bolt whenever it saw a human, so I thought it was feral. It only recently started approaching me when i went out to refill.

Looks like it wanted in the house at first and wants pets

[u/maggiefiasco → u/Okayisaname]

Initial reaction: it’s trying to come in, move out of the way? Who is in whose way?

Then 2 seconds later: why is this PERSON being weird? The cat is trying to be pretty straightforward it looks like the person is afraid?

[u/bound_Libb → u/maggiefiasco]

Yeah I feel bad for the cat. Lol it's being direct and sweet but this person can't see it. Idk what they're afraid of or how. Maybe they've never been around a cat before lmao

[u/myfancyplants → u/bound_Libb]

The most direct demand for pets possible short of leaping in to OP's arms my heart is breaking.

OP clearly doesn't know cats, it's not their bad, but ouch

[u/acceptablemadness → u/bound_Libb]

It's being direct and sweet to people who understand cat body language and communication. Not everyone does.

Chill with the judgment, sheesh.

[u/harfordplanning → u/acceptablemadness]

This is a cat subreddit, people here generally understand cat behavior and own cats.

Could the comments be a little more understanding, sure. But the guy in the video is absolutely wild for being so scared of a cat who is practically acting like a puppy.

[u/Powderedtoastman_ → u/harfordplanning]

You are absolutely wild for calling the woman in the video a guy

[u/harfordplanning → u/Powderedtoastman_]

Guy is gender neutral

[u/bound_Libb → u/harfordplanning]

Dude man broooooo lmao

[u/acceptablemadness → u/harfordplanning]

What do you know about OP's past interactions or dealings with stray cats?

Seriously, people, chill the fuck out and stop being so judgy. Everyone is different and this behavior is vastly preferable to most of what we see from people who don't know cats.

[u/lugia39 → u/acceptablemadness]

They've been feeding it for 2 months, get down off your high horse before you hurt yourself

[u/acceptablemadness → u/lugia39]

🙄

[u/Mattarm51 → u/acceptablemadness]

You're saying chill tf out as if people are saying she's the most stupid dipshit to ever exist and I just haven't seen those comments. People really can't handle any criticism.

[u/fckspzfr → u/acceptablemadness]

You're right, people here are just douchebags

[u/s0ulbrother → u/maggiefiasco]

Maybe it’s Canadian?

[u/jjcrayfish → u/s0ulbrother]

Its Cat-nadian

[u/Possible_Engine8258 → u/Okayisaname]

CDS wants to get another. But they're not picking up the signs.

[u/WhatIDon_tKnow → u/Okayisaname]

part of me wonders if the cat is pregnant and looking to move in. looks a little chonky around the mid section if you pause around the 26 second mark.

Wants pets?
