There’s always a reason

The reasons were many and verified.

Sent to a shelter when his owner became homeless. That's the thing that scares me the most for my cat. She's so sensitive and scared of everything except for me it would break her little heart.

Stay safe. There are resources available, and if you are at risk, you should know how to be safe.

meanwhile the cat in the next cell is preparing a "surprise"

I might pick her based solely on this

Day1: Heh, this kitty is badass. I'm gonna name her Spart-
Day1.1: Argh, holy fuck. Shit scratched my eyeballs. Man fuck you! Seriously, why
Day2: Hi there I would like to return one black-eyed cat.

He is being held captive, he has reasons enough to smack anything that moves.

that is the face of a criminal

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Stealing hearts and breaking them.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

and then bapping them in the face afterwards, truly the most heinous of criminals.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

They have this for every cat then, right?

[–] [email protected] 54 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I’m sure there was a reason every time. Not that a cat needs a reason, however.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"I felt like it." Is all the reason the cat needs.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

It’s justified even if they didn’t really feel like it.

Filled with self advocacy, more like

Shelter cats have limited avenues for expressing their disagreements, and it sounds like he's being as measured and puncture-free in voicing his opinion as he feels like he needs to be

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

All deserved

[–] [email protected] 82 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Being stuck in a cage all day sounds like a good reason.
If I saw that sign at the shelter, I'd be tempted to adopt that cat.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I adopted my cat because he was born angry. He wasn't even fully weaned before he began attacking his own mother.

He loves his people as long as they don't dare smell like a different cat. He just hates cats!

A follower of khorne is a good pet to have

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

Cats are Khornes sacred animal, this is why they have nine lives its one plus eight. The hounds of Khorne must earn their place, but cats simply take theirs.

It would definitely work. I had my experience bonding with a lifetime cat that I got when she was a baby. Any other time I would adopt a cat I would get an older cat with older and sassy or grumpy cats being more likely for me.
