People often describe their cats as Hannibal Lecter, mine is just a dumb idiot creature baby

most cats i meet are just chill dogs who require a polite greeting before loving you

"oh, a random human? hm yes okay you're nice, oh you want to pick me up? PURRRRRRR"

And a polite greeting is pretty simple. I just offer my hand limp and palm down for a sniff. If you get a nuzzle then it's petting time, baby.
