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

Their many siblings in the wild shall provide the young
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
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
Don't pick a house with a dog next time.
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.
They rarely need to in the city, also those that weren't taught by other cats most of the time won't kill the mouse just torture it or scare.
Well, whatever my cat did, the mice are gone so... 🤷♂️
I did see a few dead mice around the first 2 months, now no sight of mice.
The cat that walked into my house and said "I live here meow."
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.
Even if they were horrors beyond our comprehension, a whole lot of people would be still be very sexually aggressive towards them.
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.
Lost opportunity to say "I live here meow"
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!
As of about three weeks ago a stray cat figured out how to use our doggie door.
Now we have a 2nd cat.
"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.
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.
I went to disagree untill I remembered there's a ginger cat that lives on my property that I feed sometimes
I did my best to take a cat home today when I was at the local landfill. I don't even have space for another cat, it's just freezing here and he looked extra pathetic. He decided the dumpster was safer and u honestly can't blame him xD
There's been a little baby girl coming around here, underweight, some kind of skin problem. She has always been an outside cat and belonged to my neighbor who died. My wife says we already have four so we can't bring a street cat in that's going to fight them.
She's right, but sometimes little girl comes up when I'm smoking and gets warm laying in my lap and I want to keep her so much.
They are funny, don't really need a lot of space and training, and look pretty. Ofc I will go and by whatever.
