Ferret cat, ferret cat… Does whatever a ferret cat does.

Thanks for letting me know that this part of the Simpsons movie hasn't been formative only for me lol

Best part of the movie

If you look very closely you can actually see that it’s a cute angle.

of course right angle cat would be a torti lol

The other one is like "well, whatever" as if it's just a normal caturday.

What makes you say that? In my experience, Torties are generally shy and don't really exhibit any mischievous behaviors. They're perfectly happy with hiding under the blankets all day long, only coming out once in a blue moon to eat, poop, and greet their preferred human of choice. They don't have much ambition at all and couldn't care less about going outside, unlike most cats.

Domestic cats have individual personalities, but coat colour and pattern are unrelated. There is no scientific evidence to support it, it's all anecdotal. There are however some behavioural trends among cat breeds.

There are an abundance of domestic cats that need homes.

My dilute calico (kind of tortish tho) lives for mischief what you talkin bout

Sometimes you're gonna drop something behind the couch and you'll be in dire need of a right angle cat.

I accidentally got the obtuse model. He's cute tho, sings a lot.

Cat's impossible geometry. Being obtuse and a cute at the same time

Depends which way you look at it

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

Oh if I remember my highschool math correctly this case only be proven one way... Angle Side Side.

The home depot near me ran out of these. I had to drive to the next town over just to find they only had them going the other direction. Guess my DIY project is on hold

Just get a square one and cut it in half.

Sheesh you wake up on the wrong side of the tomb, Solomon?

transform: rotate(90deg);

Or the modern version:

rotate: 90deg;

Both variants should work on a cat, aibeit that's not their intended use.

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Nice argument, however, 90° angle

purrpendicular to itself

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 4 points 1 day ago

Nice marmot

Allen cat! Likely the other cat needed assembly and they just included this one for free.

Someone needs to chiropract that.
