Suprised no one posted the futurama version!

Thank you. The clothes in OP are sending me.

Who's the author please? I like when they get proper credit in posts.

It's on literally every panel.

The compression distortion makes it hard to read but it looks like Hannah William(?) Hannah Hilliam (?)

I just gotta say that my cat would be so godamn offended

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Why would a cat using a toilet have cat litter?

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

But why would it have a picture of a cat on the bag?

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 2 points 6 days ago

Dang! Didn't saw that! My bad!
But how do those cat toilets works then?

[–] Presently42@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

This made me genuinely lol

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 49 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Fun fact, usually when they show you their buttholes the humans are actually trying to be friendly. They want you to smell it. Obviously that's gross, but if you just blow in their general direction it wiggles the hair back there, and they are usually appeased. If you do this regularly they will stop presenting as often.

[–] Rambomst@lemmy.world 38 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Turns out they know you aren't smelling it and just get sick of you blowing on their ass lol

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can't even imagine getting sick of someone doing this. Feels amazing.

Found the cat

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You sound like a reputable cat owner, so I’m curious. Do cats actually sniff each other’s nethers or do they lick them like dogs? I nicknamed my friend’s dog “blowjob princess” after they took him to the park where not a single set of dog genitals were left dry.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

One of my two cats just loves smelling the other one's butt. The reverse isn't true. Based on that scientific sample, about half the cats like smelling butts.

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They do, but not nearly as often as dogs. It's definitely not something they would do with unfamiliar cats. It's more a social grooming in a tight group. I see it a lot more often with overweight, old, or cats with disabilities. They prefer to clean their own butts if they can, but if you see your friend struggling it's NBD to help them out.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I didn’t realize that cats were that social, thank you!

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I have multiple cats and can confirm they're very social. I don't recommend having one lone cat. My sibling confirmed it this year by noticing that their cat was behaving better when they got a second cat.

[–] Rose_Thorne@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 week ago

We often present cats as solitary creatures, but the reality is that they are very social, just not exactly in a way like humans or canines. That's part of why cat colonies can thrive so well, they will help take care of each other.

You very much can have a happy lone cat, but they are normally getting that social stimulation from either the owner, or another pet, as needed.

In fact, the bathroom example this comic uses is an excellent example of a cats socialization! A lot of animals, humans included, are vulnerable when shitting. You're in a compromised position, can't move as quickly, it's a dangerous situation in nature. So, they want to come watch over you.

If you have the litterbox somewhere like your bathroom, they may even use it while facing the opposite direction you are. To them, you're watching each other's backs, and can warn each other if danger comes.

Perks of being a crazy cat lady. It's funny, I'm allergic to their spit, so as a kid I never liked them, but as an adult I've hardly lived with less than 3 cats around me for any amount of time. I love them so much even if they're killing me slowly.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have a friend with 3 cats and she’s terrifyingly allergic to their dandruff. She holds off on using allergy medications just in case she has a particularly bad reaction one day. It seems like a lot of effort for a few cuddles

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

The danger with Allergies is that even the most mild one could someday go overboard without warning, but I've seen my symptoms drop considerably just from exposure. Now I just get watery eyes if I don't wash my hands after a petting session, and touch them. That happens maybe once every few months.

When I first started living with cats I basically had to mainline Benadryl just to stop sneezing. My eyes would get so swollen they'd be nearly closed. It definitely wasn't pleasant, but at the time the girl was worth it, and now I just love cats too much to live without them.

Fun fact/potential wives tale: Apparently if you raise chickens alongside cats, the chickens will absorb the enzymes in their spit that causes the allergies in humans. Somehow they break them down and the remnants end up in the eggs. ~~Eating those eggs has been known to reduce or even prevent all symptoms of the allergy.~~ Edit: I looked into this further and it's not eating the eggs yourself that does it, but feeding the eggs to the cats. Apparently the antibodies the chickens create when fed to the cats stop them from making the allergins all together.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have to ask, how the heck did you end up with a cat in the first place? I, personally, avoid my allergies as hard as I possibly can. Seeing that my friend’s experience is not as unique as I thought it was is really throwing me for a loop

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I had never lived with a cat until I was around 20. I met a girl who had 2 cats, and I liked her enough to suffer in the short term. We were together for around 6 years and in that time I fell in love with them. The pros outweigh the cons in my case. You don't choose what you love.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Thats twice as cute as what I was expecting, and I was expecting something incredibly cute. You don’t voluntarily suffer through your own body actively trying to kill you for nothing. I wish you and your cats many healthy-ish years together!

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What's funny is that they in our position don't wear clothes but the humans still do.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We don't have long warm fur growing from every hair follicle on our bodies.

I wonder if the above reverse scenario means that cat has to go shopping to buy clothes for human, or if human can still do that themselves?

[–] SoloCritical@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

It’s prob like when you take your pet to the pet store to pick out its own toy. I imagine they walk us into the “pet store” and whatever we make a fuss about, they just buy it.

[–] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

I’d love to just slowly bat something off the counter and watch my giant cat master look on in horror.

[–] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 13 points 1 week ago

The wall hanging in the bathroom 😂

Sus! If this were realistic, then where is the poop knife?! 💩🔪

[–] stray@pawb.social 1 points 6 days ago

There's a poop scoop right next to the toilet. I think a knife is easier to clean, but to each their own.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can we leave the reddit stories for reddit?

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 1 points 2 days ago

I am of course referring to the Lemmy version, also known as the reverse poop knife.
