Oh sure, when the cat walks into a house and wants to live there, they’re all “omg it’s so cute” and “let’s go buy it food and a bed”, but when I do it, they’re all “who the hell are you?” and “leave or I’m calling the cops” :(
Have you tried meowing at them?
don’t do this. it only made things escalate in my experience
Don’t pick a house with a dog next time.
Have you tried UwU’ing at them?
That would only work if you’re very cute and kinda short.
thats even worse why would you suggest that you trying to get me shot on sight?
Just block the shots with your big banana ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Marking your territory probably didn’t help you either
I never liked cats at all and one did exactly that. Stupid fuck make me fall absolutely in love with it too.
Get another one from the shelter! They have much richer lives if they have another cat to interact with, even if they don’t like each other.
Plus having two cats is getting yourself twice the cute and love for very little extra work.
Edit - doesn’t this look great?
When I was a kid Mr Kitty unilaterally moved in despite belonging to the neighbors across the street and the stern objections of my father armed with a squirt gun.
I did my best to take a cat home today when I was at the local landfill. I don’t even have space for another cat, it’s just freezing here and he looked extra pathetic. He decided the dumpster was safer and u honestly can’t blame him xD
There’s been a little baby girl coming around here, underweight, some kind of skin problem. She has always been an outside cat and belonged to my neighbor who died. My wife says we already have four so we can’t bring a street cat in that’s going to fight them.
She’s right, but sometimes little girl comes up when I’m smoking and gets warm laying in my lap and I want to keep her so much.
As of about three weeks ago a stray cat figured out how to use our doggie door.
Now we have a 2nd cat.
Covert cat distribution network, working as intended.
In my opinion cats should never be kept as singles. They need social interaction with another cat, even if they don’t like each other. It’s not as bad as guinea pigs who will literally die from depression if kept alone, but it’s similar.
I went to disagree untill I remembered there’s a ginger cat that lives on my property that I feed sometimes
So cats are successful squatters?
The fact that only two creature in this world that will approach another creature 10 times bigger than them just so they get adopted is pretty impressive. That’s how i adopted my 4th cat, little baby dude just came out from under a car and yell at me until i pick him up.
What’s the other kind of creature? Dogs?
Yep.
That makes it sound like the cat domesticated humanity not “The cat self domesticated itself”
in reality it sure as fuck seems like humanity domesticated humanity, we have a lot of domesticated features like neotony (we look strikingly like chimpanzee children) and we’re arguably the most ludicrously social species on earth.
the ironic thing is that cats aren’t really very domesticated, they’re inherently a social animal and happen to just sorta fit with how humans work.
Note though, that neoteny is a disputed theory and (if at all) only part of human evolution.
Sad that the Wikipedia article is a mess now.
People always think aliens would want to kill us, but they would rather make us their slaves.
Cats after entering a human stranger’s house: Look at me. I’m the meowner now.
Humans: Yes, oh cute one!
Lost opportunity to say “I live here meow”
Yeah in 4legged furballs its cute. In 2legged douchebags its not.
Unless the two legged douchebag is a crow. Which, it still isn’t cute, but you would want to pretend it is
Humans are just exceptionally weak to cute. If aliens ever show up and try to conquer us, we’re going to be so screwed if they happen to be adorable.
There’s a Philip K Dick short story about this, “The war with the Fnools”
Even if they were horrors beyond our comprehension, a whole lot of people would be still be very sexually aggressive towards them.
Honestly that may be what saves us. They try to manipulate us by being cute, we weird them out by being horny.
War of the Worlds got absolutely the wrong reason for the aliens to leave.
It would be so funny if they left bc of kink shaming.
“KINK SHAMING IS MY KINK”
ACK ACK ACK ACK splat
“ca wi go see de wokets humie? wi wana see de big ones fly hiiiiigh”
Speak for yourself, I hope the furry aliens make me their pet.

What’s great is when they show up and become furry because they decide that furries have devised the best possible social system in the cosmos
I would love the life of a house pet as long as I can play video games instead of sleeping all the time.
We just collectively need to convince our new overlords that it’s enrichment and just let me keep it I already have it, and I’ll be totally friendly and compliant whenever you want, I can pause, it’s cool.
Yeah, I mean I can multitask licking their tentacles while I game.
Would it change your mind if the aliens are responsible owners and neuter their pets?
Well, I guess you’re getting screwed anyways
Maybe he likes getting screwed.
It’s all fun and games until de-worming time.
How many people have worms? I thought that was rare… Am I missing something and Kennedy is actually not an odd-ball?
Not many people have them, but the aliens don’t know which ones - and they already have the anal probe equipment handy.
Shit, here I thought we were all going to just take heart guard haha. Your way doesn’t sound as fun.
almost all animals and a lot of people too have worms, most of them aren’t really dangerous though, so no worries.
but it’s less prevalent in humans than in other animals due to hygiene or sth
source: i read it somewhere
If aliens turn up and they’re like “Give me snacks. And a fluffy bed.” I think we’d be like “…aight.”
Aww nibbler
Do you think it’s the same way with viruses entering body cells?
i guess that viruses might be evolutionarily very old, dating back to the RNA-world-episode, seeing how primitive they are.
maybe they could have a use (exchanging DNA segments between individuals) but that is pure speculation on my part.
Nah, I assume it’s more like some unconscious dude shows up at your house with a weirdly sharp penis, he impregnates the house, and then the house explodes and a bunch of little dudes spill out.
One dildo through the window IN, thousands of dildos through the walls OUT. Got it.
I shudder to write this, but it’s more like a self-replicating knife dildo. Or a sawzall.
Not self-replicating. It’s like a knife dildo that remodels your body into a knife dildo factory.
so like 3d printers, you get one and before you know it all you’re doing is using the 3d printer to build more 3d printers
