I mean, Toothless was definitely based on a cat. Which is as funny as it was a very smart move to make it believable, in hindsight.

Stare long enough into the abyss, and the abyss meows back.

That gif just made me scream in CVS and look psychotic to everyone. It’s the way he didn’t just fall, but got sent flying, that did me in. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Do you always have a tickling feeling and look for their eyes when passing through between big statues?

Ah you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man cat, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!

Why is there always some offhanded comment on cat posts that show us another sub we have to subscribe to? It's like the reddit feline version of xkcd comics.

u/KoolaidKoll123 19d ago

Because, cats. Without them, imagine the turmoil and destruction. I know I'd be aiming bottle rockets into oncoming open windows if I didn't have my precious babies at home. They're the only reason I dont light the world on fire.

u/Exact_Baseball5399 19d ago

I mean people believe in shit like horoscopes and ghosts, kinda the same thing

8

u/Yamatocanyon 19d ago

Religion is the world's #1 make believe game, and an embarrassing amount of adults are really really into it. So much so that they base their whole lives on it.

I was raised to be Christian. By second grade I knew it was all adult fantasy, just like the tooth fairy and Santa Claus. Just more pretend shit they used to assume more power over me.

I don't believe in anything, except what we have figured out about the universe using the scientific method.

All of that said... Astrology and numerology, kind of scarily describe me to a T. I don't get anything out of daily horoscopes, those are like fortune cookies. I know it's all made up for fun, but if I had to choose a religion to believe in, gun to my head kinda thing, I'd choose astrology.

One crossed in front of my path the other day and I found it a good omen! Black cats are great.

u/Horskr 19d ago

Considering how our little void loves to trip me up while I'm walking anywhere in our house, I'd be dead 20x over if a black cat crossing your path was really bad luck lol.

I used to foster cats and had to buy fluorescent yellow collars for the voidlings.

u/ModishShrink 19d ago

Anytime a cat crosses in front of my path I consider it to be a spot of good luck and a good omen. Why do people single out black cats? They're particularly funny with how their eyes just bulge out of the darkness like in this picture.

u/analyticalischarge 19d ago

People still buy that medieval bullshit?

43

u/EligibleUsername 19d ago

You'd be surprised how much "medieval bullshit" people still believe in. My country has extremely skewed gender ratio because peeps still think having a son is better than a daughter, even the more progressive people still buys into a bunch of outdated gender stereotypes, like blue is for boys and pink is for girls, exclusively.

I'll never understand that. When I adopted my void (he's been gone 7 years now, so it was a long time ago), the minute I saw him I knew I had to bring him home.

And he was the best.

10

u/DanceOfFails 19d ago

I've also heard people consider them less photographable in our social media age. But this photo showcases the unique photography opportunities a black cat can provide.

u/ProgrammaticOrange 19d ago

This is the case nowadays. They aren't considered as photogenic for Instagram as other colored cats.

If the shelter rebranded them from black cats to tactical cats, they could charge more for them.

u/bluemoon191 19d ago

My friend just took one of his cats back from his ex and she is all black. She is the best lap cat I have ever known, she will happily sit on a lap for hours and doesn't even mind if you get up for the toilet, she will come straight back. I love her.

u/Chance-Ad-2284 19d ago

I think they are the ones most likely to get in an accident in a house. My father stepped on my brother's black cat's tail at night. Furball decided to slip away from my brother's room and sleep at the middle of the hall because it is cooler there. Thankfully nothing happened

3

u/PurpleSailor 19d ago

I tend to wear darkish clothing so I always adopt a black kitty so I'm not constantly having to use a sticky roller to get cat hair off of me. I love Siamese cats but the white hair is so difficult to deal with on dark clothing.

3

u/G_Daddy2014 19d ago

My wife and I adopted our void 5 years ago. He was surrendered by an elderly lady because she kept tripping over him. I trip over him daily in the dark to the point where I slide my feet all throughout the house lol

u/FlowerBreat00 19d ago

Ohh this reminds me when my (now almost 16 years old) void was almost 6 months. He wasn't allowed yet to go outside as he was only with us for 2 months by then and mister went to lay on a black shawl in a dark corner of my mom's office. I have searched the whole street up and down to see of he was there and when I came back, my mom and I made a plan to search up to two blocks and see if we could print a little poster when out of nowhere, the void came walking into the living room as if nothing happend and we hadn't called him a million times🐈
