People always think aliens would want to kill us, but they would rather make us their slaves.
I keep meowing at hot guys at the bar and none have taken me home yet 😭
Works better on girls.
I’m gay
Well then I’ll be your wing person.
Now I’m hungry…
Then just don’t be gay anymore?
Duh
Can confirm, purring is a sure way I can get attention from my gf
Did you try letting them scratch under your collar?
Meow at the moderately acceptably good (minus minus) looking and you may have some luck… but please don’t get offended if we start pspspspsing you, it’s just a reflex
Can’t relate
Cats are the perfect human parasite.
The whole world is lit by gaslight. Gaslight people into buying gas cars, gaslight people into overpaying for a house by hundreds of thousands of dollars, gaslight you into a kamala vs trump fake fight. First world women gas lighting that they are real people, not literal walking talking personality disorders that the created themselves. At least the cats give affection.
Have you considered trying out therapy? It takes some time to find a good person, and there’s a lot of wooo people out there, but some are good.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
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?
Be careful, it looks like they’re trying to merge and create a Cat King in that first picture!
Love RTJ, never seen this, thanks.
If only the 4th one was in there. He’s the brother of the huge orange boy but he’s a dwarf. Looks exactly like an orange Maine Coone but he only weighs 7 pounds. He doesn’t snuggle with the other 3. So he’s 7 pounds and his brother is 23!
Are they paying you or something??
Big Feline advertising all over this thread
The cats? Yeah everyday.
The cat that walked into my house and said “I live here meow.”
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
“Everybody wants to talk about X, nobody wants to talk about Y”.
That’s not gaslighting, that’s whataboutism.I think it’s more along the lines of cats gaslighting humans to care for them…that’s where I grew the comparison.
That isn’t what gaslighting is, though. Gaslighting isn’t simply emotional manipulation; it’s a specific kind.
You mean like manipulating humans into believing the cat is actually doing them a favor by occupying their home?
I do agree with you though, that comparison limps
You mean like manipulating humans into believing they are helpless animals that need to be brought in, and taken care of?
The specific kind of psychological manipulation in this case used by cats over millennia, by definition of the word, is gaslighting lol
Thankfully it’s the year 2024 so if you literally spent 5 seconds doing a search you would find a real definition
Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation that hinges on creating self-doubt. “I think of gaslighting as trying to associate someone with the label ‘crazy,’” says Paige Sweet, Ph.D., an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Michigan who studies gaslighting in relationships and in the workplace. “It’s making someone seem or feel unstable, irrational and not credible, making them feel like what they’re seeing or experiencing isn’t real, that they’re making it up, that no one else will believe them.”
Cats cannot do this.
I don’t want to be the person that brings a real definition into a fun thread, but your complete lack of logical, sane thought on the subject drove me to it. This is your fault.
Did you even read your quote? A subjective stance from an assistant professor of sociology who studies gaslighting IN RELATIONSHIPS AND THE WORKPLACE. That’s a severe lack of a “real definition” my guy. Go watch the 1944 film Gaslight from which the term was coined.
Yeah, because words used in modern context are always best defined by their most archaic usage 🙄🙄🙄
To that point, words used in modern context are also up for interpretation and free thought. :)
Webster
psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one’s emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator
Can you spot the difference? I cannot. And cats still can’t do this.
Also, it was coined in a play before that.
Again, it’s 2024, this is easy shit.
Manipulation of the perception of reality is where my argument comes from. Your rude ass tone and pretentiousness are unwelcome. Have a good one boss.
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.
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
Even with toys they are invading our space
Once they figure out email and posting on social media we’re really screwed.
As you see, it is on the way
So cats are successful squatters?
I went to disagree untill I remembered there’s a ginger cat that lives on my property that I feed sometimes
please don’t feed it unless you know for sure it’s homeless (there are paper bands you can hang around their necks on which you can put your info so that the owner can call you if it’s their cat). if the cat has a owner then you’re making the cat too fat, probably buying the wrong food which will give it liver disease, and being fed 2 different foods can cause bowel problems. Please stop.
If the cat has an owner, that owner is letting them outside knowing the risks of eating what the cat isn’t supposed to, as well as killing what it isn’t supposed to.
Imma feed him when he comes in and screams at me everytime because I like him and he’s cool.
you can, but please know you’re probably removing 3 years from its life.
please just hang a paper band around his neck with ‘are you the owner of this cat? call me’ on it.
Nah I’m right.
so you’d rather just poison a cat?
You’re making a lot of assumptions based off nothing.
Isn’t it weird how some people care more about cats than people or, often, themselves?
that’s how well they manipulate us
More of a dog guy but I get it, I get it. I love their dumb stupid little faces.
Differences (well, stupid little faces, if I think in some dog types…)
Dog - “oh, he gives me food, love, care and a house, he must be a god”
Cat - “oh, he gives me food, love, care and a house, I must be a god”
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.
My (future) cat jumped up on my car when I parked! Almost named her Engine…
What’s the other kind of creature? Dogs?
Yep.
no way
