    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.

    That makes it sound like the cat domesticated humanity not “The cat self domesticated itself”

      Meow at the moderately acceptably good (minus minus) looking and you may have some luck… but please don’t get offended if we start pspspspsing you, it’s just a reflex

    I love all cats, and they are free to walk inside anytime they want. Just no fighting in the house.

    “Everybody wants to talk about X, nobody wants to talk about Y”.
    That’s not gaslighting, that’s whataboutism.

      I think it’s more along the lines of cats gaslighting humans to care for them…that’s where I grew the comparison.

    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.

    Is anyone else bothered by people saying their cat is lost? -No; it left a toxic relationship! “They stole my cat” -Nah, it moved out!
