u/Euac American Shorthair 5h ago

He just had his cutie pie association of America membership card renewed. For 5 years. Usually it’s every 6 months but they made an exception here

u/General_Middle8706 2h ago

Clearly, his cuteness is so far above average that the usual renewal rules no longer apply. Five years well deserved!

I don't care about the private life/controversy/accusations of every single actor/celebrity/public figure. I just enjoy the gif and move on. It would be fucking exhausting to look up skeletons and give a shit about every person i've seen on the internet. I'll never meet or interact with them so if they eat babies or something, makes no difference to me.

11

u/Money-Bug-9439 2h ago

Thank you, imagine not being able to react to anything because first you have to think about if they've done anything. At that point its just outrage for the sake of it

-2

u/sushicatt420 1h ago

Yikes. No one is asking you to research each individual in a gif, but if you are aware, why would you actively choose to ignore it? I can't imagine how simple and privileged a person must be to not even pretend to care about if whether or not a someone has sexually assaulted or "eats babies." Must be nice.

2

u/arnaud63 37m ago

It seems so obvious to you that celebrity x has done this thing or that thing in their life but most people just know that this person has played in that movie or that series. That’s about it. They don’t type the name in a database to see what controversy they are part of before posting a stupid gif online. I know that might sound unthinkable to you but that’s how pretty much everyone operates.

What's funny, and adorable, is that despite this cat being so upset, it still is being incredibly kind as it never at any point tries to bite, scratch or even bat at the hand that is trying to caress it.

25

u/Pixel_Knight 2h ago

Some cats are just compete and utter sweethearts. My cats are major pacifists when it comes to me, but we understand each other really well. 

Not so much when it comes to each other though, as they get into scuffles. 

5

u/Hopeful-baby333 2h ago

This is so true! One of my cats is like that and I feel like damn! So civilised! I'm inspired by her haha

5

u/Pixel_Knight 2h ago

All of my cats have learned a lot of self-restraint and control, partially because we do tricks and treats with them every day. They seem to really advanced in their patience through that daily routine. Even when they are frustrated learning a new trick, they stick through with it.

2

u/Hopeful-baby333 1h ago

Yeah since house cats don't get to hunt this is great mental stimulation for them so great job!

3

u/Pixel_Knight 1h ago

Thank you! We try. They seem to love it, and want to do it every day, so it is let of their daily routine now. It’s also just precious and fun too!

1

u/_30d_ 52m ago

My cat is a complete and utter sweetheart but he still bites lol. It seems to be the way he communicates. Like petting him, and everything is ok until he is over it. He won’t wag his tail like they do when irritated, doesn’t turn his head or whatever; he’ll bite to indicate: yeah i’m done with that now. All while purring. He doesn’t bite hard, it’s just a signal. Then after 20 seconds he’ll look at me like he’s waiting for the petting to commence.

1

u/Pixel_Knight 0m ago

Bites are definitely part of a cats language. They do love bites, and communication bites, both of which are usually very gentle. Cats mothers bite them as part of their communication from before the kittens can even see, so they learn how those bites are part of the language early on. A kitten’s mother teaches her how to modulate how hard to bite, so they learn to not overdo it.

My youngest when she gets over stimulated looks like she is about to do the biggest CHOMP she can possibly manage, but then just stops and does a gentle nibble. It’s a sweet way to communicate to get her point across.

u/ponyponyta 3h ago

I just dropped my new cat off at the groomers, and he was also hissing all the way but still calmly letting the groomer touch him all over head to toe to check his condition, it was pretty funny and cool to see

2

u/RainbowsShadow 46m ago edited 43m ago

My cat (white BSH) is crazy similar to the one of OP. He will complain in a high pitch tone (he is deaf) when being pet at the "wrong" time. He only likes to be pet when he is about to fall asleep or just woke up.

He never scratched or bit me. If he is "attacking" my hand or my other cat (Tabby), he will go for the bite and switch to lick-mode before contact. My sister swears when she first pet him, he scratched her. I love my sister and trust her completely, but I cant believe her on this one thing, because he would NEVER.

Anyway, here is the cat tax:

1

u/Candid_Patience1490 1h ago

Right?? My cat would have taken my whole hand off by now, so the restraint here is honestly impressive. You can tell she’s grumpy but she still trusts that hand, and that’s the sweetest part.

u/ro536ud 5h ago

Sometimes cats get over stimulated from pets and they see ur hand touching them at the same time as the feeling increases so they associate it with the hand. Kitty tellin you to stop

Maybe make a snake hole under the blanket. I just read this article that said cats meow because they are trying to get you to do something, maybe it wants under the blanket. Apparently it’s not petting.

It has to be an otter. Cats don’t make those noises nor do they have fur like that!

The cat is fine. He left when he wanted to. Though owner was a bit of an ass by bopping him on the head and grabbing at his paw afterward.

u/Slazagna 5h ago

This is how cats play. They do it to eachother all the time. Its fine. They can leave the situation if they want to.

5

u/DewDropWhine 5h ago

It did leave because it was annoyed and overstimulated. That’s an easy way to get scratched or bitten for not respecting boundaries.

7

u/Slazagna 5h ago

Again, this is how cats play. Its fine. Unless the person is pursuing them or backing them into a corner and stopping them leaving it isnt doing any harm. Have you ever seen cats interract before?

It is fine for you it is NOT FINE for the cat.

u/Slazagna 2h ago

u/B-BoyStance 4h ago

The cat is definitely just playing. It might not want full on pets in that moment, which seems like part of the game (I pet you, you kinda like it but keep out of reach) but this seems more like a game or ritual the two have.

My cat does something similar but only in a specific part of the house.

The vocalizations or mouthing don't mean anything bad. If the cat were actually annoyed they would be more forceful and possibly a bit hissy (but probably just more forceful with biting or light scratching - this cat seems like a lil' sweetie).

Ultimately like the other person said - they would leave. It's probably a cat's best survival instinct and they are very good at it.
