Yeah but we chop their balls off soon after. I don't think it works out evolutionarily.

Lmao aint no cat just moonwalking into my house and claiming part of my budget automatically. To the pound with you!!!
I keep meowing at hot guys at the bar and none have taken me home yet 😭
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
Did you try letting them scratch under your collar?

They don't even meow to each other, just to humans. They know what they are about.
No, they do sometimes. Some meow in greeting to each other, as seen on cat cams.
they do sometimes do really low meows to intimidate other cats
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
Marking your territory probably didn't help you either

People always say they look cute and yea sure,
But did y'all forget the fact that they can literally get rid of all your mice problems?
I got a cat because for companionship and one month later, all those filthy mice are gone.
Being soft and warm to pet, and the beautiful meows, are just the cherry on top of their lovely companionship.
They -can- do that yes. Whether or not they will choose to, however, is anyone’s guess.

"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

Even with toys they are invading our space
Once they figure out email and posting on social media we're really screwed.

Lost opportunity to say "I live here meow"
That makes it sound like the cat domesticated humanity not "The cat self domesticated itself"
in reality it sure as fuck seems like humanity domesticated humanity, we have a lot of domesticated features like neotony (we look strikingly like chimpanzee children) and we're arguably the most ludicrously social species on earth.
the ironic thing is that cats aren't really very domesticated, they're inherently a social animal and happen to just sorta fit with how humans work.

Humans are just exceptionally weak to cute. If aliens ever show up and try to conquer us, we're going to be so screwed if they happen to be adorable.
Too Cute crisis is about aliens coming to destroy earth but learn there are cats.

As of about three weeks ago a stray cat figured out how to use our doggie door.
Now we have a 2nd cat.

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!

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.
