I love my cat, and if he did this, I would be absolutely flattered that he felt safe to eat a meal on top of me. Plus it’d be so freaking hysterical to wake up to such an absurd scenario you’d never expect to happen! One of those things you wish you got on video

My cat will carry his toys to me and drop them at my feet when he wants to play, for context.

Why was there pizza sitting out in the open unrefrigerated after they'd gone to bed? Seems gross.

Never ripped it so hard you stuff your face silly and pass out?

I actually haven't, but I'm willing to stipulate that it happens

I was floored when I learned that some people do this. It's disgusting and a good way to accidentally eat botulism

Do you have a source on that? I'm pretty sure pizza does not go bad in 24h at room temp and normal humidity. While I agree that food safety is important not everything needs to be stored in fridge temperatures.

Well it depends on what one considers normal temperature and humidity I guess, now that I wrote this.

Anything cooked goes in the fridge or freezer, that's something that everyone should be expected to know but humans are really good at proving how dumb they are. Thousands of people get sick every year from leaving food out in room temp. It's not that it will always go bad quickly, it's that the chance of that happening compared to keeping it in a colder environment is so much higher. And who the fuck likes sweaty room temp anything? It's disgusting.

It was bringing you your food and sharing it. Much more advanced than my cat which brings food neither one of us wants (giant spiders) and not eating it (it's still alive and under my bed) and then shouting about it (please send a team to help extricate the arachnid)

[–] [email protected] 55 points 4 months ago

Maybe the giant spiders are meant to be a way for you to learn to hunt, before graduating to actual food?

They could be meowing at you like a drill sergeant.

My cat also prefers to eat when I'm nearby. I think it's a comfort thing.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

In the wild they are probably vulnerable when eating so maybe it's for protection. I'm no expert though.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I recall reading that cats in the wild are considered semi-social, so while they usually don't hunt together, they do like to eat and hang out together with animals they like during down time. You're part of their in group.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

Eating as a family is often better than eating alone. Especially when you're going to be sharing the food like cats do.

Poor kitty wanted a warm pizza andthis was the only way it knew how. Get a cat-operated microwave now.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Maybe the cat was a Japanese businessman in a former life.

The cat is being merciful by only eating your pizza. Make sure it is always well fed.

This is the cat's way of telling you, "I am looking forward to consuming your flesh when you die in the house."
