French lemmy user spotted!
Omg wtf. First out-loud exclamation of the day. This kitty…
Guys we've all been there right? That last picture is so relatable!
Any time I think cats can't get any more weird and loveable, I catch memes like this lol.
New life hack unlocked.
"Damn dry food....urrrrgghhh...."
Make gravity do all the work, smart
Can never get enough pictures of cats pooping… thanks Lemmy.

Get a bigger box, And more fiber in the diet too, lol
Get that ~~man~~ cat some fiber!
Oh no, here it comes
"You like watching me poop, do you? You sick fuck."
My cat does that. It is a hygienic or a comfort thing.
Most likely the box is too small so... comfort?
I have a cat that does it and we have a giant box. They sometimes see that it hasn't been scooped which is usually right when I come home from work. If an expert can chime in I would like to know which. Comfort is more logical but cats are known to be hygienic, it is perplexing, unless it is just both.
It could just be a personality trait. Cats can be quirky.
Some people wipe standing and others wipe seated.
The more you know.gif
I have a bidet like a proper hygienic member of society.
Aw shit, not this again
How the fuck do you wipe while standing
Are y'all's elongated prolapsed buttholes somehow just hanging out?
It's more of a squat, hovering over the toilet seat.
Sit in a chair, rest your elbows on your knees, and lift your ass. Now, use the elbow of your non-wiping arm to keep the support while you wipe using the other arm's hand.
Note how that does not involve standing
You're not standing upright, but standing in a squatting position. Semantics, I guess.
Not standing, then, but squatting, or leaning while seated.
No, it’s higher than a full squat, and you aren’t really leaning on anything. If you want to be super fucking pedantic you could call it a half stand I guess, but the point is your butt is off the seat.
There’s no good word for that position, and you’re doing your best to point out perceived flaws in wording rather than trying to understand.
If someone said the word "standing" to you, that's not what you would picture.
You don't have to lean on anything to lean.
Yes, we're going to "be super fucking pedantic," if you insist on getting bent out of shape about it. First day on the Internet?
OK smart guy, which word would have been better?
Wiping position
Ok but that’s not some universally recognized term, and is more ambiguous than what you objected to. Try again?
Nope. The fallout of that whole literal shitshow revealed that basically everybody wiped their ass in a similar fashion unless they were of the enlightened bidet elite (which is moot because you still gotta dab so you don't get swamp ass).
It's the new term. Embrace. Evangelize. Wipe.
Oh ok so you never had a point that you were capable of defending, lost the plot a couple posts ago, and have now decided that it’s everyone else’s fault.
Welcome to the internet! First time?
Oh, honey.
You just put the fabric between the cheeks, I don't see the problem.
Surely you're taking the ~~piss~~ shit
Litterbox is too small
Cat also seems to have short legs, might make squatting difficult.
This. When you start seeing poops outside the box this is why.
Get one of those big plastic tubs and use it for a litterbox. They'll never complain again.
We use those large metal bins used in food service because the metal makes it so easy to clean.
Edit: 
Really?
We were informed the high walls of a plastic tub were preferable. :D
Thanks, I'm never going to look at these the same again.
