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
mancat, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!34

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 13h 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.

The void experience. Listen for the bat-like echolocation. They’re little vampires

I found my grey was impossible to see in the dark, they blend in way better than a black cat.

All black kitties are best. They are also the hardest to get adopted because of people's superstitions. Super cute.

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

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.

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.

People still buy that medieval bullshit?

u/EligibleUsername 15h 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peeps still think having a son is better than a daughter, even the more progressive people still buys into a bunch of outdated gender stereotypes, like blue is for boys and pink is for girls, exclusively.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'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.

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

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🐈

Speed unknown. Size unknown. The unholy offspring of lightning and death itself. Never engage this dragon. Your only chance: hide and pray it does not find you.

Cats always find the best hiding spots... until they get too comfy and start yelling for attention! You can never win with them!
