There are FIVE ~~lights~~ CATS!

[–] virku@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

At least four includes five.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

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

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 24 points 1 month ago

I thought that was just the stripy ones

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

[–] MohamedMoney@feddit.org 19 points 1 month ago

Wouldn’t that be a tabby?

[–] AnAverageSnoot@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago (4 children)

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

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

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Understandable. How dare you!

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

It chose to live all its lives simultaneously.

[–] astutemural@midwest.social 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 20 points 1 month 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.

[–] sheepishly@fedia.io 17 points 1 month 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 16 points 1 month ago

Damnit! Felix got into the replicator again!

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

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

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

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.

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.

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 1 month 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 1 month 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.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

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

[–] LOLseas@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

Now scatter freshly rubbed catnip and let 'em really vibe. Miss my cats vibing on freshly grown catnip. Good times had from all.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month 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 1 month ago

They're definitely littermates that stuck together
