u/lemonukiyo 6h ago

Omg yes, for some reason no one remembers Towelie! My friends and SO look at me confused whenever I quote him. All of this to say, I’m glad someone else remembers him.

u/EnvironmentalRock827 3h ago

Nah. They got reasons. We are just to simple to understand them. One time I was off for like 3 days in a row and determined to follow my cat around like she oes me all the time (way back then). So I literally followed her around the first day off for hours. It was a total of 17 hours and she was so pissed off at me. I think after only an hr. Best times of my life though.

u/bchagan 2h ago

This is hilarious

u/_IratePirate_ 3h ago

I feel like what we see as cats is really some 4 dimensional eldritch being. The cat part is just the 3 dimensional being we can perceive. Like a 4D shark peaking its head out of a 3D ocean

u/Sea_Damage9357 4h ago

I’ll never understand why people are negative about cats. I’ve had them all my life, have rescue fostered dozens and dozens of them, and every single one of them has a unique personality. Such amazing creatures.

u/defeatthewarlords 3h ago

Calling a cat strange isn’t an insult lol they are definitely weirdos but that’s okay i love my lil weirdos

u/CheeseAndCh0c0late 37m ago

sometimes i see what some cats are up to and i kinda feel like they aren't real. They are just so out of this world

apparently dalí said he was inspired by watching camembert melting in the sun. but the fact that it’s called the persistence of memory gives you some indication, i reckon.

Lil man's just trying to decompress his spine so he can stay limber.

u/Ok_Aside_2361 10h ago

Speaking as a human who has recently had surgery to decompress their spine, I agree and would encourage you all to stretch your backs, too. 😂

u/thehermit14 10h ago

I have two shattered vertebrae and a compressed disk. I'll take a hard pass. Otherwise I will always applaud your intention.

u/Djinn42 9h ago

u/K-Shrizzle 7h ago

One of my cats loves to chase his own tail. He will also lean over the back of a chair and try to catch his tail on the other side.

Often times this results in the chair tipping over, so I had to wedge a box in between the chair seat and table so it wouldnt tip. This is what my life has become.
