    One of my cats is a narc right down to triangulation techniques. She will want to be petted then scratch me and run to the dog who she has trained to lick her head or cuddle up to my friend who finds her misplaced affection annoying. I can count on one hand how many times she has been on my lap in six years and that was when she almost died and I hardly left her side for two days. I still love her.

    1. VintageKimono says:

      The cats not a narc. It needs training. You need to change your behaviour. Sorry to say. The cat whisperer will help.

      1. Karen Bergeron says:

        I don’t really want her to change, but she is a narc and knows she is loved.

    Narcy once said “hey you can come with us” when i was petting a dog, i adore dogs. It sounded very odd, insincerely out of character and he spent the rest of the walk sulking. God, the drama!!!!

    I wonder…would you call this a pic of a hot dog?

    I have met several guys who had bunnies but didn’t want to share pictures or play with them, and even accused me that they were more important to me. Those kind of guys always turn out to be weird or yeah kind of narcissistic.

    1. Persephone In Sunlight says:

      They won’t share pics, cause they are not that kind of bunnies.

    2. Bibi says:

      CAPS LOCK KEY. IT IS A GOOD THING. LOL

    3. Sharon Marinucci says:

      SORRY,JUST MAKING A POINT! OF COURSE THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOMEONE NOT GETTING THE MESSAGE (ONLY LOOKING TO FIND FAULT)! BUT SOME LIKE SMALL THINGS THANKS H.G.!🐂🐂.

      1. NarcAngel says:

        Its ok Sharon-get it out whatever way you can. I hear what you’re saying and thank you for caring for the animals. You have a good heart.

    4. HG Tudor’s #1 fan says:

      I have 6 cats. One of my cats is 19 years of age. 25 years old you cat lived. Good for you Sharon. I am huge animal lover too.

  6. Dreamstroker International says:

    “My” Narc had two cats, lived with him for 13 years and 8 years respectively, that he just coldly and without emotion gave back to the shelter because they began to mark since he wasn’t paying them any attention anymore. I asked him if it made him sad to do so, and it did not. Nothing.
    Those cats got SHELVED! Non-intimate (I hope) secondary sources and they had lost their sparkle I guess. Funny not funny. I hope those cats Got Out and Stayed Out, but hopefully they weren’t put down.

    Giving up a pet after over a decade would literally send me into therapy again.

  7. sarabella says:

    Narc was visibly frightened of/disgusted by some dogs we walked by once. He pointed at them and said something that reflected some deep issues with pets. When a year later, he posted some post about livestock type animales on his land (not his, but someone else’s), I remember feeling really wierd. This was before I understood they like or dislike based on fuel. Fundamentally, he disliked animals, but would like them if it served a purpose so the post likeing those animals, made me feel really wierd. What a liar.

  8. Bibi says:

    Narcs can use pets as a means to lure you. But then you learn they don’t really care for them. I did have an ex bf who complained that I seemed to love my cats more than him. What an idiot.

    I can respect someone who is honest enough to say they don’t like animals. They’re not for everyone and they can be a lot of work–vet bills, messes, vacuuming, etc. You can’t impose that on someone who doesn’t want that.

    I have zero respect, however, for those who adopt animals and then neglect them, leave them chained all day, malnourished, etc. It’s sick. Those poor creatures, that just breaks me inside. I am glad they have now have anti cruelty laws that protect animals.

    1. Bibi says:

      I just reread my comment: “I did have an ex bf who complained that I seemed to love my cats more than him. What an idiot.”

      He was an idiot, but not for that, as I did love them more and deservedly so!

      His parents had a dog and he would always say his dog was cuter than my cat.

  9. Kathleen says:

    My narc had a pet. A dog.I noticed how the dog would be tentative around her. And sometimes wouldn’t even greet her when she entered the house. Conditioned to being ignored. She can usually would engage with the dog but a lot of the time she forgot all about it. I told her once you need to see your dog more as your daughter/She is looking for you to love her and provide her food and water you’re off she has. And she will love you back. That fell on deaf ears. When I would come over the dog would run around the house super excited to see me because I would engage and make eye contact with the dog it was very sweet and I received more love from the dog no doubt than from my narc.
    Ahhh yes. I think dogs and cats are more in tune and loving than the narcissist

  10. Sara Jessica Snarker says:

    haha, this reminds me of the first text I was so privileged to receive from my NarcNut. He was in charge of some construction at my home and the second day on the job while I was at work, he texted me to let me know he had let my old dog out several times, petted him, and generally played dog whisperer. I was impressed with his kindness, as he KNEW I would be, and thanked him profusely. Thus, the love bombing began through the care of my beloved pet. How insidious…but, gotta admit, very cunning.

  11. Jeannine says:

    My Ex shouted at me and told me I loved my dog more than him. I was petrified he would hurt my animals. And he did in the end.

  12. Sabrina says:

    This is a very interesting one.
    I read that narcissist don’t like pets but especially cats since they are harder to control due to their independent nature. Is it true?

    1. HG Tudor says:

      Pets require upkeep and therefore are a burden. However, they are useful for the facade and for triangulation, thus you will find some narcissists do have pets. I have none.

      1. Morning sun says:

        A friend’s ex who was certainly a narc used his dog just for that purpose. He got the dog when he started seducing her, because she loved animals and was initially wary of him. Then he got the dog and hooked her into the relationship where she ended up taking care of the dog a lot. He would triangulate, too – pet the dog instead of pay attention to her etc. He would be nasty to the dog to make her suffer and he used the dog to hoover her after disengaging.

        It was very effective, and when he wasn’t using the dog to get fuel out of her, he would use it to get fuel out of other people – women who would coo over the dog, other dog owners who feared about the safety of their dogs, etc. The dog was a beautiful, enormous Rottweiler and I’m sure he also got off on having such a powerful being under his control, adoring him.

      Oh I dont know-they seem pretty partial to pussy.

      1. Dragonfly says:

        LMAO. Thanks for the laugh (true)

      2. Sara Jessica Snarker says:

        NarcAngel, wish I could give you more than one upvote for this one.

      3. Sabrina says:

        NarcAngel, best comment I ever read lmao

  13. Melissa says:

    Picture- Lollllllll!

  14. Kate says:

    Hi HG,

    Why do some Narcissists have pets? Can they own an excessive number, say at least five? Or are pet owners always empathic?

    Thank you!

    1. HG Tudor says:

      Triangulation and facade. They could.

  15. Rose says:

    This one is very true with my ex. Every time I hear anyone say anything like

    “I don’t understand why anyone would want a pet.”
    “I am just not a pet person.”
    “Why would you have a dog?”
    “I don’t get the point of pets.”

    I immediately gasp and think hello narc in my head.

    1. Peppi Boudreau says:

      I experienced the same thing from my ex narc. He wanted me to get rid of my animals. I did not so he disengaged and discarded me. Then the phone calls and attempted sneaky contact through facebook, eventhough i never friended him, stalking, breaking into my home, parking outside my home, and etc. Never returned any of his phone calls or facebook messages. I knew he was watching me, because in all actuality I blew him off. I refused to allow him to interrupt my life and continued to live as normal. I could not allow fear to interfere with my life. Sometimes i still feel he is still watching me, but who cares. Life is Good!

    2. Kensey says:

      I told my Narc I missed my dog when a person walked by with a cool dog. Later that night he said he had been thinking about what I said…I thought he was going to say let’s get a dog.
      No. He said “why don’t you ask the neighbor if you can walk their dog” .

  16. John says:

    Why are you giving all of that positive fuel to an animal?!!

  17. Mary says:

    HG, I’m curious which situation ignites a stronger fury: the narcissist having to deal with their own let or having to play second fiddle to a partner’s beloved pet.

    My hub ang I have a dog, and at times he can be very good to him when it’s his idea to do something for him. Our dog is elderly and has trouble walking sometimes. My hub has put up a ramp and even a guard rail to keep our dog from falling.

    However, when our dog wants attention and my hub is busy or just doesn’t want to be bothered, he screams and curses our dog. He goes into a rage and repeats the phrase “fucking piece of shit dog” over and over. If our dog whines or cries at all, he screams at him. But then an hour later he’s giving him a treat. It’s kind of how my hub treats me too. He’s very good to me when it’s his idea! On the others hand, if I really need his support, he offers the cold shoulder instead.

    Mary

    1. HG Tudor says:

      Second fiddle to someone else’s pet. Really gets our goat (especially if the pet is a goat). I do like goat’s cheese though, not too much. I have milked goats incidentally.

      1. narc affair says:

        HG now that i have a hard time envisioning 😁😄😆 Were you wearing your designer socks?

        1. HG Tudor says:

          Not at that time, no. I was a child.

      2. Bibi says:

        I have a harder time trying to imagine a designer designing the designer socks.

        ‘Today I am going to design designer socks.’

        My cats steal my socks.

        Nice pic, Narc Affair.

      3. Mary says:

        Thank you, HG. For the reply and also the laugh.

  18. narc affair says:

    This has been the reverse in my case. My narc has used my pet to triangulate me with. Hes been over the top with her at times to make me feel awkward and like i mean less to him than a dog. It doesnt work tho bc my sweet dog is my baby and id never feel jealous of her 💓 very pathetic attempt at devaluing.

    1. Sharon Marinucci says:
