One of mom’s neighborhood kitties needs to hear this. Head the crinkle of a chip bag. From outside.

The tortie:

(Mom plants catnip to attract them… so they scare off the bunnies that are attracted to the cone flowers…. The niece loves watching the nutters…)

Aww she's gorgeous! Here's my own tortie Charlotte expecting treats:

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've never met a tortie that wasn't a right bundle of entertainment. Then again, I don't have to deal with that sass.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, she has a big personality for sure, for better and for worse 😄🥰

That's exactly what someone preparing a snack would say...

My cat and I play a game where I ask, "Do you want a [word other than treat]?" five or six times before asking if he wants a treat, to teach him that not all questions mean treats are about to be given.

It's insane the force with which he turns his face away from me, as if to say, "Excuse me but I really need to be in the kitchen right now, treats are about to be given," when I ask if he wants a telephone. No matter how many times I tell him he has misheard, he simply does not believe me.

Maybe he has a really important call he wants to make in the kitchen

[–] nul@programming.dev 10 points 1 year ago

Had not considered this. The rate at which I'm offering telephones and then withholding them is actually criminal.

Just because you own the cat, doesn't mean you own its thoughts

I mean, how many times do you go to the kitchen and come out with snacks?

Can you really blame the cat for this?

Yeah jokes are stupid anyways

Boooo jokes

you can't own another living creature. They aren't property. You are companions with them.

They said you can't. Your cat can own whatever it wants, and does if you ask them.

Yes, I’ve been the subject of this small god for two decades. His rule is absolute.

[–] wildwhitehorses@aussie.zone 11 points 1 year ago

Oh gods, I'm a cat.
