A Reddit Thread
A Reddit thread on the r/cats subreddit asked users to share their cats' "toxic traits." The post, featuring a photo of a cat named Nova who loves to soak her toys in her water bowl and then leave them on the bed, garnered over 8,400 upvotes and 1,000 comments.
Other users chimed in with their own feline friends' quirks. One user described their cat's habit of stealing their seat the moment they get up, while another shared their cat's belief that toys magically appear under the stove. A user even mentioned their cat's ability to bark, which was confirmed by another commenter who also has a barking cat.
The thread also highlighted other "toxic" cat behaviors, including sneezing on their owners and using the litter box at inconvenient times. One user described their cat's habit of getting close to their face and sneezing on them, while another shared their cats' preference for pooping when they are in the room.
The thread provided a humorous and relatable look at the quirks and behaviors of cats, reminding us that even our beloved pets can have their own unique and sometimes "toxic" traits.

Cats are supposed to be independent spirits. Let’s not pathologize their behavior for laughs.

Cats really do have the funniest quirks. Sneezing on me is one of my cat’s signatures!

It's sad to see all these complaints about cats' behaviors. Maybe some people shouldn't own pets.

Toxic is a strong word for behaviors that are just part of owning a pet. Let's be real.
