I remember eating a can of tuna in front of my cat, she stood on her hind legs and emitted the slowest plaintive meow ever. She must have win awards for best begging kitty ever.

The one on the left looks like 15% of all cats.

Can confirm, this could be my cat. Also notice they all have the "M" on the forehead.

That's actually less scary than I was thinking. Thought it was gonna be a cat shitting in someone's mouth. I'd rather have my soul stolen than that.

Scared the crap out of me as a kid. Didn't stick though. I have two cats who sleep, purring, with me every night. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

That movie was literally about the cat saving her life from a little troll monster that actually did steal children's breath.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

While that might be true, you're stealing my narrative.

We can do better than stealing content from spez's shithole website.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Its not stealing content, its "content aggregation"

So I'm a total pet-drug-pusher. I had a cat who seriously jonesed for breve (half-and-half) so I gave her a milliliter a day. My dog today needs peanut-butter like it's the ambrosia of the gods. It's a small treat every once in a while.

Out of respect for your friends of fur, allowing them a small dose might enhance their enjoyment of life a bit, especially since we are social beings who enjoy sharing a meal with each other. And unlike half-and-half, cats can actually digest tuna.

who seriously jonesed for breve (half-and-half)

Doesn't compute, what does this mean?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)

"Jones" is an American slang word meaning to be addicted to something, so "jonesing" for something means to crave something very strongly, and generally very vocally.

"Breve" is a coffee drink that is commonly made with half-and-half, which is a product that is equal parts cream and milk. I assume that people have taken to using the term to refer to half-and-half itself, but I've not personally heard that.

So the sentence is saying that their cat was addicted to half-and-half and would act like a junkie doing anything to get their next fix.

Interesting. My step-daughter got breve = half-and-half working at Starbucks, which just may be a local brevity slang.

Looked up Breve on wikipedia and confirmed it includes the coffee.

Thanks! Learned something.

But seriously, half is cream? At least make it whipped cream, what a waste.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I didn't have heavy cream in the house. But I drank coffee every day with half-and-half.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Cream that goes in your coffee.

My cats are dum though. I'll crack open a can of tomatoes and they freak out thinking it's dinner time. I let them sniff it, but then they look confused.

Same when I'm getting some Tums. They think it sounds like greenies.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Oh, man. The amount of times I'd exasperatedly repeat to my cat "it's beans!" or someone similar and let them smell the can I'm opening. I know you know this doesn't smell like tuna, you fuzzy idiot...

Same when I’m getting some Tums. They think it sounds like greenies.

Can relate. All my cats think my pill bottles are the same as the treat shaker. I always end up giving them a treat afterwards because I feel bad.

I trained my cat to eat plain chicken by tearing off little pieces and any time he didn't go for it I'd make sure he watched me eat a little. Do that, offer him the other half of the piece I ate, repeat a few times. Now he knows whenever there is a new food if I'm trying to give it to him and I take little bites that he should try it too. It's a lot of fun
