OTOH, it does mean that OP can get up. Their husband cannot, for it is the law that you cannot get up if you’re being sat on

[–] theolodis@feddit.org 2 points 4 hours ago

All you need is more cats, it'll trickle down at some point (and in case of cats it really moght due to lack of space).

[–] cockmushroom@reddthat.com 6 points 8 hours ago

This is how you invariably feel when you dare question the cat distribution system

His greed sickens me

My partner and I visited a cat café and a group must've had catnip or smth but they had around 7 cats at their seating area at one point

We felt a little better when one of the cats on a high perch started sneezing and snotted over several of the people lol

[–] Bamboodpanda@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

I'm currently browsing with a kitten asleep across my neck. Nothing better in the world.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 37 points 23 hours ago

It’s been brought to my attention this meme is likely AI. I’m going to leave it up to the mods to remove it because I don’t want to delete the entertaining comments section. But goddamn, I feel like AI is ruining everything, even fucking shitposts.

Body heat is important, but I also have advanced certificates as "Cat Furniture" from three different cats.

Skill issue

[–] islandcoda42@lemmy.zip 39 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Legit, I run nice and warm too and have cats on me every night and I’m here for it

My posse- Coda, Treble, Yodel ❤️❤️❤️

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Yes, but why do they always choose the spot between the legs? Can they not just once in a while? 😪

[–] islandcoda42@lemmy.zip 3 points 18 hours ago

Easy with the claws!!

[–] peripheralneuropathy@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Have you ever been between legs before? The groin area is second most largest heat distribution area second to the head. The warmth reminds cats of their warmest mothered and nurtured happy spot youth they lost long ago and stuck still sentimentally chasing that dragon since. Cats are nostalgically stunted reincarnated past life human zen masters by codependent benefit.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

My dogs cuddle on me, and then distance themselves from me while panting because I run so hot... They lay on concrete in the hot Texas summer sun, but I'm somehow too warm for them.

[–] Zkuld@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Damn I never checked my radiation privilege

[–] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

What’s stopping you from getting a fourth cat?

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 hours ago

Space on the husband is limited.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What would stop the fourth cat from also laying on the husband? That would really throw off the ratio!

[–] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Then you get a fifth ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You know how this will end up. Hundreds of cats on the husband.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago
[–] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

At some point the husband will be full. Somewhere around cat #23. So the 24th should work.

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago

It's cats all the way down.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 14 hours ago

imagine all the urine .

[–] DrPop@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The husband could have been there for hours. You don't start with cats laying on you, usually. He created an environment the cats wanted to be. I have a two cats that sleep with me and 2 that sleep worth my wife. The one that regularly sleeps with me can be k8cked pushed whatever and she will stay. I have a boy though, where if you so much as scratch an itch he's gone. He might come back 5 minutes later but the second tou budge he's gone again. One comes for affection but any sudden movements and she's gone for good. The last you can lay on him do whatever and he doesn't care. Where was i going with this. I like talking about my cats.

[–] blargh513@sh.itjust.works 3 points 19 hours ago

I want you to tell me more about your cats.

Tax the rich, he’s clearly hoarding the wealth and it needs to be redistributed

[–] Iusedtobeanalien@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

He is on their couch

[–] JohnSmith@feddit.uk 13 points 1 day ago

He is clearly allergic to cats. Cats can’t resist allergic people. Source self.

[–] lemonbun@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

After all these years I've cracked the boyfriend cat magnet formula. Now I just need to figure out how to capitalize

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Step 3:…..

Step 4: PROFIT

[–] lemonbun@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago

my theory is that hot hot BODY HEAT

[–] collectif_imaginaire@piefed.social 10 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Is it me or it kinda looks like AI

Maybe used to upgrade the pic quality but zoomed in it gets suspiciously weird

[–] osbo9991@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago

For what it's worth, lots of phones these days are pretty aggressive with automatic post processing of photos, so the photo could be real (ie not AI generated or edited intentionally with AI) assuming the phone has a lower quality camera sensor with bad detail.

[–] ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago

The beer can and the image on the mug look especially "melty." And his arm looks super smooth. And he has a wedding ring on both hands. And his leg starts out looking more or less like a leg but on the left end it looks more like a pillow.

I'm fairly confident it's AI.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Dang it, is it really? Are all memes AI now? This is some bullshit.

[–] 9488fcea02a9@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

This community should be for actual real pics of community cats

Allowing these people reposting shit off reddit and grandma's facebook is just asking for AI bullshit to flood the community

I propose we have only original content (OC) here

Have you even tried radiating excess body heat? Geez...

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lay on top of your husband and the cats. Cat sandwich.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago
[–] TheStaffmaster@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

it should be illegal based solely on the added heat. How much does this guy pay for AC?

[–] Baguette@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 day ago

His greed sickens me

[–] M137@lemmy.today 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Not saying this really is the case but they all look like they were placed there. None of them look like they willfully put themselves there and got comfortable.

[–] MML@sh.itjust.works 2 points 19 hours ago

Yeah none of them have their maws in the humans mouth, why do cats do this, do I need Listerine guys?

[–] BambiDiego@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe you should look inward and judge your own choice to be less catnapable.

Make your body squishier, run hotter, tie sizzle rope around your legs, spread catnip under you fingernails.

Destroy the husband at this game of cat love.

In my house, if both the pets (1 dog, 1 cat) choose you, then you're "The Disney Princess." It was some inside joke about all the animals coming to help Cinderella.

I'm sorry, he's the princess now. Rules are rules.
