No, it's not grammatically correct, it's just cutesy online cat speak.
Folks also like to speak in a cutesy but deliberately incorrect way when it comes to cats or dogs.
So yeah, chalk this one up as another 'smol', 'angy' or 'feetsies'
Oh, that what this 'smol' was for... I was wondering why it was sometimes swaped for 'small' on social media
Cats’ language proficiency usually doesn’t develop past the level of a typical human toddler. There are exceptions, like Garfield, but most will mispronounce many words and often use incorrect grammar.
Not formally, no. But people regularly say things like “my friend and I’s…” so the future is uncertain.
“You must pay the jellybean tax.”
While I cannot provide his specific jellybeans, here are some for your enjoyment:
Aww, thank you. I meant he was saying that to you. :P
Haha, I get it now. Well, it got me to spend 5 minutes looking at jellybean toes so I'm not complaining.
To think I could havd miss it! Thank you for the annoucement.
