Unironically, cats have life figured out. When did you ever see a cat stress out over taxes or work?

They domesticated humans to do that for them

Can you imagine what early cats were like, especially the one's we didn't select for over aeons?

They were probably grumpy hate-filled fur balls who attacked anything in sight, trashed the place unless told otherwise, and you know what I'm gonna stop talking

I'm pretty sure cats have just always been cats.

Anyone can get a dog to love them but getting a cat to love you really tells me about who you are. Especially those ultra picky ones. My sister cat attacks anyone who speaks her name like Will Smith but man that look of love she gives my sister.

As someone who was woken up by a dirty paw in my mouth an hour before my alarm this morning, I'm not so sure.

My son is gonna love this. Listening to Arabian Nights in the car yesterday and he freaks out bc they sang "carpet" as he noticed a dog hanging out a vehicle window aka a car pet.

That cat is .04 seconds away from smacking that monk in the face

I have too many cats, and you betcha my house is LIT. The people in Nirvana are now trying to get into my house. Oh god, they're climbing over the fence.

Cute pic, but what is going on with those cat biscuits in the background? At first I thought that cat must be spoilt if the monks are shelling out for those fancy cat-bix. But they look like supermarket shelves - did the monks meditate in a supermarket? I even did a reverse image search hoping to find the original image, but just found lots of the exact same, with that same background.

Also through toxoplasmosis

I finally watched the first season of Last of Us recently

'* someone else's cats. Cats are assholes. Someone else's cat will be friendly for 5 minutes, and then when they turn asshole, you can hand them back.

That's not a problem with the cat, that's either a problem with the owner (for not socializing them properly) or a problem with you (for ignoring their requests to be left alone).

Cat: oh shit, you're hungry aren't you?

If this was my cat this monk’d be about to lose his face.

Feeling really gellical.
