BIG Lorax energy

[–] [email protected] 47 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Joke’s on you. That’s an owl.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Wait. Really? I thought it's a hairy capybara

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's an octopus. Octopuses look however they want to look.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No that's chameleons. Octopuses have 8 sides.

It’s pretty clearly a cog.

Or perhaps a dat.

My brain autocorrected both of those and went "oh look, someone hasn't gotten the joke and thinks is funny to tell it but badly"...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Did the same thing

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I honestly prefer it when my brain autoincorrects things. Much more entertaining!

I get Dark Crystal Aughra energy

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

I have one of those!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Aughra had bigger, disturbing puppet knockers.

And definitely a cat nose

And the angery expression

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

I want to see this friend in a studio Ghibli movie. The expressions he would have as shenanigans take place around him

in my expert opinion this is just a little guy

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

I think this is actually a cat that's pretending to be a dog. Like a cat actor. Or Ca-ctor.

But it's fine, because on the Internet, nobody knows you are a dog.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

"Do you have a dog or a cat?"

Yes!

While I totally appreciate a The Labyrinth reference, I'm afraid that this is a Fizzgig from The Dark Crystal.

Either that or a feral Lorax named Wilford Brimley.

Edit: Also this exists:

That's just animal abuse on some level. My dogs hate anything that makes them warmer. Hell, they only sleep with me for a little bit, and then choose the floor cause my average temperature is 100.5°F so cats love cuddling me, but I'm way too warm for dogs or most humans. Dogs don't sweat though so heat management is rather important for their survival, unlike us.

It looks like a 19th century philosopher

Do a barrel roll!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

It's master shifu in the making!

Just check it's claws.

Canis familiaris

Never seen a cat with eyebrows like that, I am going to say dog

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

That's totally a cat that's hiding it's tail. The pupils are slitted not round.

Either that or a Lorax

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You really gonna post a dog picture on cat instance? You're fucking stupid
