Pest control … we let cats in because they eat the small little living things … but cats aren’t big enough to eat the big living things -> like us.
Cats let us domesticate them because we’re big enough to hunt (grocery shop) for tbem and provide shelter (house, cat bed, human bed) but aren’t interested in eating them - the sweet spot 👌
Survival of the cutest / friendliest
Cats are absolutely pack animals. I have had the pleasure and fright of watching normal house cats operate in a pack. We just don’t generally leave house cats to live on their own to study because it’s horrible for the ecosystem. But anyone who’s been around a place where generations of a cat family live for whatever reason can tell you, they are as much pack animals as wolves and lions.
Yep, house cats are pack animals. They live naturally in colonies.
This is why we can be included in the cuddle puddle, even if we are the big dumb cat.
Semi-pack animal. They like hanging around with others they like sometimes.
Cat: “You are my servants.”
At the risk of annoying someone who doesn’t appreciate a lack of nuance, the saying goes:
Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.
Dogs: “They feed us, shelter us, talk to us, play with us, and give us pets. They must be gods.”
Cats: “They feed us, shelter us, talk to us, play with us, and give us pets. We must be gods.”
Your purpose is to kill mice.
Garfield begs to differ.
Garfield is an Eldritch abomination, not a cat.
I’m sorry, John.
Your mission is to destroy Metal Gear.
Oh, I know how to do that. You move the stick without pushing the clutch.
This comment got a laugh out of me. I could hear the grinding.
Cats are just chill little creatures
