As of about three weeks ago a stray cat figured out how to use our doggie door.
Now we have a 2nd cat.

Cats after entering a human stranger's house: Look at me. I'm the meowner now.
Humans: Yes, oh cute one!

The fact that only two creature in this world that will approach another creature 10 times bigger than them just so they get adopted is pretty impressive. That's how i adopted my 4th cat, little baby dude just came out from under a car and yell at me until i pick him up.

Yeah in 4legged furballs its cute. In 2legged douchebags its not.
Unless the two legged douchebag is a crow. Which, it still isn't cute, but you would want to pretend it is
When I was a kid Mr Kitty unilaterally moved in despite belonging to the neighbors across the street and the stern objections of my father armed with a squirt gun.
I never liked cats at all and one did exactly that. Stupid fuck make me fall absolutely in love with it too.

Oh sure, when the cat walks into a house and wants to live there, they're all "omg it's so cute" and "let's go buy it food and a bed", but when I do it, they're all "who the hell are you?" and "leave or I'm calling the cops" :(
Have you tried meowing at them?
don't do this. it only made things escalate in my experience
Don't pick a house with a dog next time.

Do you think it's the same way with viruses entering body cells?
Nah, I assume it's more like some unconscious dude shows up at your house with a weirdly sharp penis, he impregnates the house, and then the house explodes and a bunch of little dudes spill out.
One dildo through the window IN, thousands of dildos through the walls OUT. Got it.
I shudder to write this, but it's more like a self-replicating knife dildo. Or a sawzall.
Not self-replicating. It's like a knife dildo that remodels your body into a knife dildo factory.

Cats are the perfect human parasite.
Did cats domesticate humans, or did Toxoplasma gondii domesticate both of us?

Gaslighting is so last year. We need new slang - fenceposting, backyarding, BarneyRubbling.
Your PFP is blank
Humans are just exceptionally weak to cute. If aliens ever show up and try to conquer us, we're going to be so screwed if they happen to be adorable.
Even if they were horrors beyond our comprehension, a whole lot of people would be still be very sexually aggressive towards them.
Honestly that may be what saves us. They try to manipulate us by being cute, we weird them out by being horny.
War of the Worlds got absolutely the wrong reason for the aliens to leave.
There's a Philip K Dick short story about this, "The war with the Fnools"
Aww nibbler
If aliens turn up and they're like "Give me snacks. And a fluffy bed." I think we'd be like "...aight."
Speak for yourself, I hope the furry aliens make me their pet.
What's great is when they show up and become furry because they decide that furries have devised the best possible social system in the cosmos
I would love the life of a house pet as long as I can play video games instead of sleeping all the time.
We just collectively need to convince our new overlords that it’s enrichment and just let me keep it I already have it, and I’ll be totally friendly and compliant whenever you want, I can pause, it’s cool.
Yeah, I mean I can multitask licking their tentacles while I game.

It's all fun and games until de-worming time.
How many people have worms? I thought that was rare... Am I missing something and Kennedy is actually not an odd-ball?
Not many people have them, but the aliens don't know which ones - and they already have the anal probe equipment handy.
Shit, here I thought we were all going to just take heart guard haha. Your way doesn't sound as fun.

Cats never domesticated themself, since ever they are specialists in domesticate humans, for commodity, not for need.
Spot on. Cats are the OG scientists who stuck around to see what they could make us do after they discovered monkeys gave good tummy rubs.
Yadda-yadda, we industrialize food production and build awesome cozy dens to live in, yadda-yadda, they're watching us burn the world like, "fascinating... now, can I make the monkey give me treats 2 minutes earlier than this time last week..."
Only reason they don't have us outright worshipping them is we tried it once or twice, but things got weird.
