Maybe you have a name in cat that you don’t know.

And, trust me, you don't want to know.

Reading this in bed with my cat laying behind my legs - can confirm.

it just sounds like you have an unconventional relationship with your gardener

They know your true name, which is why they have power over you.

turns out we all have one of a handful of true names, and they're all some variation on "meow", "meh!", "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE", and "grumble"

Women who own cats are on a whole different level.

Mogę udawać, że znam tylko polski.

One of my cats usually goes full manhunt on my arm and just before using the meat-can-openers she just starts to lick my hand.

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

Cat is reminding you that if the meat-can isn't opened, the meat can-opener is an option.

I've had relationships similar to this with women, cept I'm not a cat.
