There are FIVE ~~lights~~ CATS!

[–] virku@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

At least four includes five.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Pretty sure the "at least 4 separate" are carefully chosen words, and it only makes it funnier.

[–] Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 101 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Those are such sweet cats, I got one of those boys and he's my little buddy.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 32 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Me too! Mine's a lil monster though.

Its called a standard issue cat! I have one of those! And she's the sweetest little thing.

Edit: I thought a standard issue cat was any cat that you cant distinguish from other cats with similar patterns or colors.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 20 points 3 months ago

I thought that was just the stripy ones

Out grey cat is also very sweet, and incredibly soft.

[–] MohamedMoney@feddit.org 16 points 3 months ago

Wouldn’t that be a tabby?

[–] AnAverageSnoot@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 months ago

Haha I am pretty sure it's used just for tabbies.

[–] Australis13@fedia.io 32 points 3 months ago

I fully expect tomorrow's update to include a sixth and possibly seventh cat.

[–] puppycat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 3 months ago (1 children)

there used to be more, but i took one home with me. sorry OOP.

[–] DrSoap@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Such a handsome lil man so cute

[–] RandomUser@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago (2 children)

It's a very large glitch in the matrix

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago

The simulation is breaking down

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

10/10 loaf, would bake again

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He is ticked at me for being on the computer rather than petting him.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Understandable. How dare you!

[–] astutemural@midwest.social 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This is getting out of hand. Now there are ~~two~~ five of them!

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

seriously. that's almost too many to pet at once

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 18 points 3 months ago

I was adopted by a grey cat for a while. It was so calm and gentle. Good kitty. c:
Didn't stick around long, sadly.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

It chose to live all its lives simultaneously.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

One of mine has eye makeup but she hides in the shadows no problem

[–] greygore@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago
[–] sheepishly@fedia.io 15 points 3 months ago

god I just want to sit in the middle of that crowd of cats and make kissy noises at them and have them occasionally acknowledge me and accept skritchies

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

Damnit! Felix got into the replicator again!

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'd take it as a compliment that they chose your porch

Grey cat omen... You're going to have a boring day

Only if you live in a horror novel. I can't imagine how scary life would be if I actually believed omens were real.

Story time!

I had a grey tabby named Lucy. She was a wiz at sneaking out, and I would frequently get calls from neighbors and friends telling me she'd been spotted, and to come get her from under their house or out of their doghouse or whatever.

Got a call one day, "hey, man, Lucy's over here, I tried to get her for you, but she's acting all mean"

I went and got her, and sure as shit, she's being just hateful. She's normally sweet, but it's super hot outside, and the yard she was in had a dog and it might have freaked her out. So I take her home, and she hides. Over the next three days whenever she comes out of hiding she alternates between being my sweet little baby Lucy, to being the spawn of an ancient demon bent on the destruction of mankind (and their upholstery). Hissing, scratching, biting... Just weird and crazy.

After about 3 days, I'm sitting in my mom's room and she's laying there in my lap, being so sweet. I'm telling my mom I think we need to take her to the vet because of the mood swings. We're actively calling to make the appointment for her when Lucy walks into the room and starts trying to shred the blankets.

Lucy walked into the room.

Lucy was laying in my lap.

What the actual fuck.

I had straight up kidnapped someone's cat.

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My outdoor/semi feral tuxie turned out to be two cats. Similar reaction.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 months ago

out behind the woodshed:

catspeak: Look man, I'm tellin' ya, it'll work. Just go in the door and annoy them till they feed you. I'll go in 2 hours later and pretend it never happened.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

When you accidentally insert cat.exe into the startup batch file and every morning a new one emerges...

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's specist! /s

Every time I see an orange cat about the same weight as my old orange can it triggers a subconscious why do they have a picture of my cat reflex for a microsecond.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

I have a grey cat and so does my friend. Is it common for grey cats to be incredibly docile and chill? Both of these cats have no problem with being picked up and smooched & cuddled & carried around like fluffy widdle beebees.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 months ago

Lucky you, mine chooses violence and chaos constantly. Gotta get her spayed, hoping that helps! She's still young too.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Our grey is incredibly docile and chill unless you're prey to her then she will dismember you and bring you inside as an offering to her giant clumsy odd looking cat-friends who obviously are incapable of hunting for themselves.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

i have an orange and a tuxedo girls, I think I should get a grey too. Are they very different from oranges and tuxedo?

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 months ago

They're definitely littermates that stuck together

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

So, if Catception is supposed to be a joining of Inception and Cat, wouldn't that, instead, require a cat inside another cat inside of another cat, and etc? I don't see cats inside other cats, here!
