What the fuck is up with those ears? They are pointing upwards?

Cat is prepping for a fight. That is feline for "You want some, punk?"

My cat likes to fluff up his tail and backend and whip his tail around when he is angry. Which usually means he just wants to be cuddled. But I can cuddle him because i'm standing up and doing things. He will actively try to get my attention by any means like whacking at me around corners. Or hitting walls or sitting on things I don't want him to sit on or knocking stuff to the floor or chewing on wires or start scratching things I don't want him to scratch. Guy will even meekly meow at me to come pay attention to him. My favorite bit is him clawing at my shirt when he is on the table to make me continue to pet him. I love the shit out of this cat but he is a gremlin and is way too smart for his own good. He will even recognize me in a reflection and just turn around all excited and cuddly just because he is happy to see me. Only for that happiness to turn into anger as I don't pay attention to him.

I thought cats didn't like spicy

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago

She thinks she does but she's never eaten anything spicy, to my knowledge.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 11 points 7 hours ago

They don't, but they also don't seem to be great at recognising spicy until it is in their mouth and causing them pain

Also, though, it's tikka masala. It's a British curry and it's certainly not disproving any of the stereotypes about our spice tolerance

I've got a few places near me that have Chicken Tikka pizza and I can't bring myself to order it. I always just want Chicken Tikka and rice

[–] jaaake@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Good Chicken Tikka Masala is good in any vessel. I live in Southern California and there's a place near me that wraps it in a burrito with basmati rice. The burrito is basically naan and I would argue this is the best format.

You have to try it
