"Not my cat" It is now

[–] JayGray91@piefed.social 3 points 6 days ago

NotMyCat is a comm I want cloned from reddit. But !cats@lemmy.world is fine enough for now

You have been given a cat. Please do not resist.

Be even weirder if it wasn't your sink

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It isn’t anymore.

OP is still in charge of maintenance though.

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

It is now. Finders keepers.

Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

Cannot WAIT for the day that Lemmy blows up even more and we begin to make the million of subgenre cat communities like how Reddit had the million different cat subs. My mom is always talking about the new cat subreddit that she found and will be like, "oh found a new cat sub, this one focuses on cats that go "eechecheh", I love it!" or some shit.

I loved the cat subreddits that were originally jailbait or otherwise banned and turned into cat subreddits.

Pocketpussy, wetpussy...they were amazing.

Ah, that is because it is no longer your home. They have claimed it now.

Sir/Madam, I'm thirsty and in the water vending port, now do your part and water me!

It might be your sleep paralysis demon in the shape of a cat.

Ah, but that is my cat. We call him Tux, our neighbours called him Boots. We've a 'street whatsapp' channel for arguing over the bins and getting to the bottom of who's cat has rocked up in who's house. Number of times I've seen a familiar moggy on an unfamiliar bedspread.

Cats, man. You might think you own them, but if anything, you own them for a while.

Yes, when I was young we had an outdoor cat for like 8-10 years. She had litter after litter of kittens (my parents should have gotten her spayed, or course, but it just didn't happen). One day she didn't come home, which was unusual for her. So, we went looking for her and called out to her. We eventually gave up for the night. We didn't see her the next day, and couldn't find her. A few days later when still looking for her, we spotted her. There were a couple of wooden lots between us and the next neighbor. She was on their porch sitting on their patio furniture. We took her home and gave her love and food. The next day she was gone. She was back at the neighbor's. We just left her because it was clear she was where she wanted to be. She knew how to get back to my house, but she was already home--it just wasn't mine. It was sad, but we weren't going to restrain her. The neighbors didn't mind. So, she got to retire.

They’re never yours, but you’re always theirs.

[–] Thorry84@feddit.nl 7 points 1 week ago

The look on his face tells me you walked in on him mid-poop

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

Well, but it's clearly the cat's sink - how you gonna explain that??
