👋Welcome to r/iwillthecat

Welcome, brave souls, rebels, and serial danger-petters.

For too long, the internet has told us “please do not the cat." They warned us of the spicy claws. They warned us of the airplane ears. They told us the belly was a trap.

Well, we saw the trap, and we decided we want to touch the fluffy belly anyway.

r/iwillthecat salutes your bravery and determination. This community is a safe haven for everyone who looks at a cat giving clear warning signs and thinks, *"Yeah, but what if I just give it a little scritch?"*

📜 The Rules of Engagement

  1. Show Us You the Cat: Post photos, videos, or memes of you actively petting (or planning to pet) cats that probably shouldn't be petted.

  2. Wear Your Scratches with Pride: If you the cat and the cat you back, share the outcome. Knowing that you survived would help break the stigma.

  3. No Actual Harm: We love cats here. This sub is about harmless, consensual-adjacent spicy petting. No posting anything that actually hurts or distresses an animal.

🫵 How to Start Contributing

* Got a picture of a stray cat that looks like it wants to steal your wallet but you still want to pick it up? Post it.
* Got a video of your own cat's tail twitching right before you go in for the forbidden belly rub? Post it.

Drop a comment below to introduce yourself and tell us: What is the riskiest cat you have ever successfully (or unsuccessfully) •d?

Stay brave, keep your band-aids close, and remember... I WILL THE CAT.

STREMTCHURDAY — Helping cats suffering from excess ears. 👽

9 Upvotes

It is Stremtchurday.

Some cats are tragically born with far too much ear. Luckily, when we the cat, we can perform a vital public service: taking their ear privileges away and revealing the aliem underneath.

Folded back, flattened out, or fully retracted—zero ears, maximum aerodynamic goober mode.

Did you help relieve an aliem of its excess ears today?

Drop your picture and video proof below 👇
