Yes, but do we have them, or the reverse? I still like the current arrangement .
A world where I couldn't have cats??? The concept is too much to bear 😯 I would have no reason to live
You don't have cats, you ridiculous soft can-opener. Cats have you.
Load More Replies...I feel the same way about red pandas I say we plan an uprising against China and steal all their red pandas
That first sentence immediately made me sad. The thought of never seeing a cat except behind cage bars - life wouldn't be worth living.
Cat memes as we know them date back to the 1990s, when bored office workers and friends started using email for sending each other funny felines. But there were similar trends long before we had computers.
In fact, scholars of media history say that understanding the cat postcards of the early 20th Century might help us to understand social media today.
I can hear Stephanie Tanner while reading your comment!
Load More Replies...I never ended a relationship based on my cats' reactions, but if my cats didn't like a visiting guest, they were never invited back.
The Cat Distribution System gave us one black cat + 2 tabbies. We used to have 3 tabbies but one found a better home. (no cat siblings.)

LOL, oh wow, THIS is truth said aloud. (ish, I suppose)
Load More Replies...We went to shelter in Reno. Only one cat left and she had an eye infection. We took her, cured her, and she is the sweetest and best mouser cat ever! Names Vicky by the way.
On our property there have been some feral cats we feed. One of them was very promiscuous, but had no interest in being a mom. She would drop her 2-3 week old kittens on our path. We would bring them in, clean them up, get vet checked, wife and daughter would bottle feed every 2 hours. We now have 2 shelter cats, one Siamese (20th anniversary present, she loves them) and 10 courtesy of the CDS. All neutered and living their best life.
We have one dog and three cats. All but one cat were rescues - but that one cat came from a pet store that was having an event to place rescues, so, all four critters are rescues. Over the years, we have had a couple sent to us by the Cat Distribution System.
Three of my cats are rescues. They have subdued the hoomans as is expected
We started out with one cat. Somehow, someway we have four cats now. I have no idea how that happened. 🤔
"Some things persist across generations and media, and depictions of cats are one of those things. It's kind of reassuring," Ben Weiss, a senior curator at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and co-curator of the museum's The Postcard Age exhibition, told BBC.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, "postcards functioned like social media today."
Cheaper, faster, and more convenient than a letter, they were used to share random musings, plan logistics for where and when to meet, tell jokes and, of course, post cat pictures.
I don't know whether the fact that it works is a good thing or a bad thing
Load More Replies...I've never in my life been sad that there aren't porch pirates in my area .... until now.
Unfortunately, I share a porch. My lovely neighbours would just bring it back in and leave it at my door.
It happens in a lot of places, I live in Germany and my sister has gotten a few stolen. You do hear more stories from the us tho
Load More Replies...I'm going to put Attila (my mean cat) in the box so that the thieves can be identified by their puncture wounds and scratch marks.
Cardbord dont contain the pee, so be aware of your own floors. Thsts my only advice if you want tø do this.
Litter jenie. For the caring disabled owners since someone gave me a free one.
Load More Replies...It kind of looks like someone took a marker and drew them on. Lol Js
Nonsense. Cats don't have masters. This one just ensures his minions on the other side behave.
Load More Replies...They all look like they stayed too long at the club last night, and now they're regretting it.
Whether it's mail sent with a stamp in 1924 or posts made with the tap of a finger a century later, cats have always had an audience.
The first postcards were printed in Austria-Hungary in 1869 – fortuitous timing for innovation in the mail field because in 1874, 21 countries established the Universal Postal Union, allowing mail to be sent and delivered internationally.
More countries followed in the next few years, and postcards rode this wave.
"Yeah guys, I think we can all fit. Ok, so Blackie distracts the guard while the rest of us quickly hop in, got it?"
Isn't that one of the ultimate purposes of cats altogether? And don't we still love them unconditionally? Goddamn reckless bastards.
Load More Replies...It's the unconditional love that makes cats so very, very special. A rare commodity with humans, but guaranteed with animals.
My baby just screams. The entire time. From the moment she's in the carrier, to the bus and back. I have to apologize to every single driver.
Ours suffered motion sickness. We had to d/r/u/g her to move from Georgia to Texas. So every car trip to the vet was excruciating and I hated how ill it made her. We couldn't give her meds for the vet trip b/c the vet wouldn't be able to examine her completely or accurately.

This should be a yearly post on BP: cat with the most appealing expression.
I would love to have a cat, unfortunately I have allergies to them This kitty is adorable!,
Like memes, postcards carried not just a picture and a few lines of text but were tangible evidence of a vast network and powerful institutions that had transported them rapidly across huge distances. They marked a changing world and technology's startling advance, delivered daily into the hands and mailboxes of regular people.
I've seen these photos a dozen times and I can't get over those cute, puckered lips.
I found a little message block somewhere that says "I work hard to build a better life for my cat" that I keep on a dining room shelf.
I have a sign in my entryway that says “This house is maintained for the comfort of the cat.”
Load More Replies...I was not allowed to have a cat when I lived at home, so the best part of growing up was moving out and getting a kitten.
My husband was allergic when he was little. When a cat adopted us when he was around 35 it didn’t bother him. He loves cats so much now!
Load More Replies...shít, BP. That weirdly unreadable word says shít. Oh and by the way, fúck your censorism bullshít. :)
One year we spent $500 on vet bills instead of Christmas presents. Worth it 😻
Don´t forget the hamster, guinea pig, your children´s aquarium fish and dog, papagay, tortoise and the quirky yellow snake.
Love how she knew to build upper body strength and found the means to improve her body. If this was my cat, my first reaction would be panic, then I'd have to do breathing exercises to calm down as a approached her with a blanket to drop into.
My cats were always by my side during troubling times. Unconditional love is the life boat you need.
My cat used to cuddle my bad ankle long before my surgery. She knew there was something wrong long before my MRI with a second diagnosis. I still miss that little girl on rainy nights😿
"We've forgotten the density of that early 20th-century communications network, which postcards were moving through," Weiss explained.
"You could send a postcard to someone at 10 saying you'll be there at 5:30, if you're going from Manhattan to Jersey City, and you can get the message to them fairly quickly."
Much, much better than the way I removed my ex from photos by scratching their face off with a pointy object.
"Well, there's George over there. He hates cats. He also hates dogs. He hates cars, milk, pens, shoes, government ... George hates everything."
Load More Replies...I count cats on my way to work to determine how good of a day it's going to be.
I want someone to look at me the way he's looking at that cat 🫤 preferably someone that cute
If I was out and saw a cute cat and guy like these two, I'd grab both and take them home!💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
"Told ya I'd win him over from the start. I always win. Now go, find me, err, I mean us some kibble while he, uhm, while we sleep."

There is a cat who has read "The Silent Meow" by Paul Gallico. Insructions on how to join a human family.
Oh so proud.🎨🐾🖌🪑artist trying to get chair down to bare bones!😸💞😂💞💞💞
The colors work so well together.....and the complementary shapes on each side....
Postcards in the early 20th-century city arguably marked the first time in history that communication at that speed was affordable and widely accessible. Between 1900 and 1914, according to Weiss, "there's this massive worldwide postcard craze to the point where people talk about it being a disease in the public bloodstream".
"A tiscuit, a tasket, you will suffer when you release me from this basket..."
He knows that a plate is meant to be filled--with food. He's no fool.
But as the plate has been filled with him, isn't he food, not fool, now? 🤔
Load More Replies...I love the donut too. It's worked well for both of my cats and one of my dogs. The second dog, a Belgian Malinois, managed to work around the inflatable donut AND the Bite-Not collar. We literally had to combine the inflatable donut with the Cone of Shame in order to prevent him from getting at his snip-snip incision XD
Load More Replies...We never give cones to male cats and rarely to female cats. They hate it and almost never need it.
Reminds me of the Victorian painting of a cat with a ruffled collar that Mark Twain hung above the mantlepiece in his library.
My female cats wore onesies after they were fixed. One hated it and managed to slip her front paws through the neck area, so it looked like she was wearing a sundress, which she was OK with.
I was never a fan of those stiff cones because of my cats' frustrated reactions. I made soft collars that they preferred.
...after which you'd need him to represent you in court.
Load More Replies...My Mimi is an expert to bring me bodies and I am expert in removing them.
During this period, millions and millions of postcards circulated, and cats quickly took over the new medium.
At the time, they were considered more than just pest control. Monarchs and socialites, including Queen Victoria, were famous cat lovers, and the animal's association with Halloween was well-established.
Some postcards featured cats just being cats: sipping milk from saucers, playing with yarn, and basking in the sunlight. Others depicted them dressed as humans, working jobs, and taking part in various domestic scenes.
Except for mine. She doesn't eat for some reason. We have to force her.
Load More Replies...My cat has what I call food amnesia. He forgets he ate immediately following every meal/snack.
My little void will literally scoop up the last bite, still chewing an 'rowrr RAwrororor at me. Like seriously dude? Your mouf is still full silly doof!'
Load More Replies...My cat, Jack. He knows the word "can". If you say, "can" he runs to his food bowl and starts singing the song of his people.
Haha. All I have to say is “want” and they both get very excited.
Load More Replies...My two indoor boys don't, actually. They'll eat about 200g of wet food per day between them plus however much they want of dry food (~a handful each) and a couple of snacks. The outdoor girls downstairs however will eat a 200g tin each PER MEAL and ask for 2nds afterwards! And they're about half the size of my bigger boy!
Ahhh he's trying to share. When a cat brings you something it's because they think us big dumb non-fuzzy cats don't know how to hunt so they bring us things.
My cats have brought me birds, lizards, mice and one time, a snake, still alive!!
Load More Replies...I'm not trying to be negative, but this is the 3rd time I've seen this exact item on a BP thread in maybe a month. Why do they do this? Do we all see the same stuff? Also there is often the same exact item posted twice in a thread. Does everyone else see this? Or is it some sort of algorithm that makes it so the authors don't have to personally make one, I wonder?
My cats are named Scandal and Chaos. I bet it was weird for my neighbours at first, hearing us yell those names lol
One of my cats tells me off so loudly for leaving my flat that my neighbours know when I've gotten home.
We used to keep a stick of butter on a little tray on the counter. I always thought it was strange how it melted in the middle. Think canoe. After about 3-4 years, I caught the cat (Who never jumps on the counters, Ever), on the counter, licking the butter.
If you didn't have a lid on your butter dish then the cat wasn't the only critter getting into that, urgh!
Load More Replies...Shocked that this wasn’t the first assumption. My cats keep my cast-iron skillet egg-scum free. I’ve decided This Is Fine.
Now, this is a housemate that understands chores need to be shared by all inhabitants.
Assistant Professor Jessica Gall Myrick from Indiana University, America, asked 7,000 people how they felt before and after watching videos of cats.
The results showed that people were happier after watching videos of cats, and that they felt less anxious or sad. Something tells me that memes and even postcards have a similar effect.
What an exquisitely beautiful cat! I could look at that calm, all-seeing face all day. She is staring into my soul..... Mesmerizing....
This appears to be the kind of demon cat that you'd see in a Stephen King movie.
Other than in his short story "The Cat from Hell", King doesn't really have many demon cats running around XD (unless you count Church from Pet Sematary, but he wasn't really... entirely hostile) but King is more of a dog fan himself XD
Load More Replies...Nah, she's aggressive. She's warning the person taking the photo not to come closer to her or her kitten.
Load More Replies...Oh my god when we got the kitten she ruined these white curtains in record time. Turns out she just didn't like them, now we have these "newspaper pattern" curtains and she approves. Hasn't touched them in 3 years
I went through mini-blinds and shower curtains at an unimaginable rate. Got to the point I keep spares in storage for the inevitable destruction that was coming.
I’ve learned to always leave a small gap when I close my curtains at night. Then my cats know how to see outside and my curtains don’t get destroyed. Much.
Reasons why I only buy the one flavour of cat food. It’s the only one all four of them agree on
My lucky cat gets IAMS (indoor formula with hairball control) because that's what his previous owner fed him. His coat is shiny and he seldom has a hairball.
That's a start but you're still going to have to apologize. Profusely.
It's the same for our animals. Bella, the cay, will only be happy with one brand of food, our dogs will only eat one brand of doggy treats. Can't blame them. We all have our favorite foods and treats, why can't they?
Even though he can’t fit through the cat door anymore.
Load More Replies...We had a copy of that statue all through my childhood, and I never really thought about it until long after it was gone. I think it got broken, but it was about thirty years ago, I'm not sure. ETA: Found the original with image search -- Alberto Giacometti, "The Cat" ( some results say 1951, some say 1954 ); auctioned at Sotheby's in 2018 for 12.6M pounds.
PSA: do not taser your cats. If you do, I'll personally find you and taser you back.
Load More Replies...Uh, on second thought, we'll just order another. Should be here within 2 days.
Felis neutronicus. They're native to the same planet as the Clangers.
This cat belongs to your neighbor and is overpampered at home. She will (like in fairy tales) try a hard life of feral cats.
Load More Replies...I was a couple days away from out surgery when a kitten tried to adopt me. Climbed right up my surgical boot. I put out an Amazon box, leftover cat dishes of soft food and water. Husband took her to vet and amazingly a coworker adopted her! We paid the initial $150, they paid the rest. She is a cutie! We got lucky!
Sounds like me. I name my strays. Dorian and Earl (gray cats), Smoky (gray and white) and Sunshine (yellow).
all of that will slowly but surely move it's way into the garage / onto the porch and thence into the house.
My wife often wonders why I only have 20 pictures of her on my phone, but 800 pictures of my cat--as if that's some kind of legitimate question.
The cat is more popular on instagram duh!
Load More Replies...I rescued a crazy orange tom cat with FIV, got him neutered and shots, he may have the virus but he's turned into the sweetest boy
My big orange male was a bit of a bully with the other cats. Nothing serious, just throwing his weight around. Jerk.
My orange male cat bullies my other two males, He’s big and strong, they’re both smaller and one has CH (a neurological defect, known as ‘wobbly cats’). But i started using the Jackson Galaxy Bully Solution drops, and they work great! They’re basically Bach Flower Remedies for cats.
Load More Replies...It was hard, but impossible for my broken and plastered nose from the last try.
Load More Replies...I literally can't, broke out of ICU 2 days early because my Purrdeeta Chickeeloo and I were both desolate without each other. I just can't do more than 24 hour away without getting the shakes
Honestly, this would be my reaction to having to spend my birthday with my brother.
And they are all so busy telling the others of their life, that they hardly have time to listen to anyone else.
We tried too. My two, the visiting team, hih under the TV. Her two refused to come out. Which is strange because her two were normally very social. The cake was nice.
my jaw literally drops open when I see waiter bring food that ain't mine. waiter be like: -_- deal w/it
My dad was in an accident and broke his thumb. I sent him "👍" He's fine btw but he had a brace and kept giving thumbs up all the time 😸
Ahh my friend Jade's kitty, Bambi, has been missing for three weeks now.
Tell them to put the cat's litter outside. They can follow the smell home. It worked for my cat. I hope they find their's soon!
Load More Replies...My cats are strictly indoor, but I always whistle when I feed them. That way, if they get out, I can whistle to them and they will know how to get home.
Same here. They're all strictly indoor but we always loudly shake the hard container of the treats and they will rise from their mummified states. Our 1st two would come when we called their names. We'd practice every few days and they were rewarded with treats. Our 3rd does not respond to her name but responds when I hog-call her with "here, kitty." My hubby calls it my auctioneer call. Whatever. I don't care. The cats come and their furry butts better show up to one of these if they escape. It was b/c one did that we Pavlov'd them. The once, one slipped out. We were searching everywhere. I put out cat food and that little 🤬 showed 2 min later while we searching for him for hours.
Load More Replies...I turn towards the door after calling my cat for ages with my voice sounding increasingly hysterical and there is my cat inside looking like…what? I’ve been here for ages. Did you want something? And you have to hold yourself back from kicking her up her furry backside and just take the smug look on her face.
Oh, like the cat won't carry ambush ammo up there by itself!

Load More Replies...My cat's name is Starvey Weinstein. He's always begging for food and keeps sticking his junk in my face. Of course he has no idea that that's his name.
I’ve got 3 rabbits and good lord, none of the names I call them are appropriate.
After 11 years, my elderly cat just discovered hair ties and has gone wild for them. She’s started knocking over the bedroom wastebasket to find them.
Obviously, the water bowl! Moose has to baptise anything he has stolen
OMG, my cat Jonses for ponytails (Hair ties) I mean like wigs out when he sees them. I used to find them in the parking lot at work all the time and bring them home. Of course they would disappear, and I've never seen them again. One day I gave the cat his CrackPonyTail, and hung out in the room and caught him eating it. Too late, it was gone. Yeah, last time he got PonyTails.
You can never have enough cats. You only have as many as you can support.
Right....husband wants another cat and one dog, I tell him any additions will happen after one of us starts earning more money. For now just spoil the one we already have
Load More Replies...My cat tries to just casually sidle up to my food. "What, no, I wasn't reaching for your tuna sandwich! I'm just doing some perfectly normal cat stretching here, right in front of your dinner plate. You're so paranoid!"
The private detective, Nero Wolfe, had a chief assistant named Archie Goodwin. While working a case, his favorite tipple was milk. Archie could be pretty hard-boiled at times, but he was not a villain.
Like me when I'm trying to exit the bed - half of me is willing, but my legs don't want to cooperate!
Outside of a cat, a book is a person's best friend. Inside a cat, it's too hard to read
"What?! Seriously?! How DARE you! I don't know where your hands have been!"
I don't own any cats but when I am around somebody that has cats and I am sitting down and a car wants me to pet them they will usually either sit or lay just out of my reach expecting me to get up and pet them. I will refuse to do that.
Each of my two sometimes eat more than I do. And another thing, how can a ten pound cat produce a turd that’s the same size as an adult human who weighs way 10 - 20 times more can produce? (Wait, I think I just answered my own question, didn’t I?)
Load More Replies...My cats prefer the cheap stuff. Tried buying the quality food and they refuse to eat it.
Done it. She doesn’t like it much and I’m sure the neighbours think I’m torturing her but she’s and old girl and grooming is too hard now
Mine have a scratcher made to fit the arm of an armchair or sofa..... And they still scratch RIGHT NEXT TO IT!! :( :(
The struggle is real. On the other hand I have mint condition scratching posts and pads.... 20240930_0...28a92c.jpg
And it is so hard to make them lose weight. It can be done, bot it takes a lot of patience and willpower on the human's part.
