We need a community for cats sitting weird

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

You should create one. The problem is finding content to fill it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

No, cat properly.

Uncanny valley effect in full

Looks like some kind of fae. Run.

This Terry Pratchett (GNU) quote pretty much explains it (he uses the term “(Discworld) elves”, but given that Lords and Ladies is clearly based on A Midsummer's Night Dream the quote equally applies to any kind of fae, and not necessarily, for instance, to Tolkien or DnD elves):

Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

No one ever said elves are nice. Elves are bad.

Terry Pratchett was one of a kind.

"what's wrong babe? Your not in the mood ?

  • it's not that... it's the cat...
  • c'mon, he just a pet, he doesn't understand what we're doing.
  • 😺: don't mind me, I'm just sitting here."

Young kitty, you don’t get to look at me like that until you pay rent and buy groceries.

Everybody check your trinkets and see which is glowing. We need an ID on this creature before initiative.

Not sure if "Steve, we need to talk" or "I've been watching you in your sleep."

[–] [email protected] 37 points 13 hours ago

Where are my testicles, Steve?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

The first thought that came to mind for me was, “hello susan. You’re right on time. Please, have a seat.”

[–] [email protected] 12 points 14 hours ago

Probably both. Happy Halloween!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

This is AI right?

Looks like a damn goblin puppet from labyrinth

Someone edit the cats shadow to look like a demon or something

I can’t stop looking at it

It won’t let me stop looking at it

Please

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago

Yeah if my cat did that. I could never believe they weren’t sentient or inhabited by another entity again.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 15 hours ago

Yeah I'm straight up dying from a heart attack if I woke up and saw that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

Cat looks like it’s settling in to have a serious conversation with you about the catnip it found in a shoebox hidden in your closet.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 16 hours ago

looks like you have your Halloween decorations sorted

Are you sure that's not a furry? You might have accidentally adopted a furry.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 14 hours ago

Nah this is fucked.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 14 hours ago

There's nothing pretty about this. This is straight up nightmare fuel.

Happy Halloween, I guess.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 16 hours ago

that actually looks kind of weird

[–] [email protected] 8 points 13 hours ago

Your cat seems to be malfunctioning.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 16 hours ago

Sitting weirdly*

[–] [email protected] 23 points 16 hours ago

That kitty is fully cognizant of their own majesty.
