Kitten: Mama? Mama, I sleepy. I come snuggle with you now. Dog: S**t, not ANOTHER one.
First off, black cat. Some crooks are superstitious (or at least a “little stitious”), and are actually scared of black cats. Second, ever been sliced by a cat? They are lightning fast with their “punches”, where they also unsheath their claws. Takes you a while to realize you’re bleeding. It’s also how they establish authority over enormous dogs. And people too. Lastly, ever seen the news reports of cats that thwart burglaries by attacking and chasing off burglars? Yep, dogs no longer have the home security market cornered.
cats can be vicious if they don't like you. One of our cats absolutely hates strangers. If anyone gets near her when she's watching a stranger, or sometimes just when the stranger is in the house, you will bleed. My best friend was over, mind you she's over a lot, we were making a cake in the kitchen. We went into the pantry to get something, and when we turned around, there was Tulip in the hallway. I went first to protect my best friend and Tulip cut my legs through my jeans. She's cut me every year on my birthday or the day before since we've had her. So six or seven years. She also lays with me later that day, or the next day. Doesn't matter if people are over or not, she did it during COVID too lol.

the look on his face! "You think this is a joke?" hes about to attack someone.
Real Cat’s not all that please with the snow statue that’s supposed to be him. Real Cat’s pulling out Snow Cat’s whiskers, one by one. Already got all of them on the right side.
There’s always one in every litter. The friendly greeter. Not a bit afraid of humans. Will calmly approach and be incredibly cute and sweet. Like they chose you, and only you, especially. Of course it totally melts you and you adopt them on the spot—-if you have even one heart cell still alive, that is.
Me: You lit that volcano, didn’t you? Cat: Yeah, and I don’t even have opposable thumbs!
Kittens are like infants. They can go to sleep ANYWHERE in an instant, and sleep the sleep so deeply it’s like the sleep of the dead. I wish I slept like that.
Live from the Paris fashion show runways, it’s swiggety swooty I’m comin’ for that booty!
" It's good to see you again, but the trip down here, with the Mrs. and a litter of 9, was just too much, uncle Larry...."
This is what I WANTED when I adopted my second cat. Instead, little brother bops big sister in the literal bútthole 50 times a day with his paw. Big sister responds with goblin noises and runs off. Little brother gives chase, resulting in more goblin noises from big sister. Rinse and repeat XD

I love the post, but the title is wrong . It should read "Why you should let a cat choose you and become your owner?"
With the exception of some farm cats who catch rodents, cats no longer work for us like pretty much all other domesticated species do. We work for them.

I’ve always wanted a cat but my parents say no to pets. I’ll just adopt one once I move out
Compelling arguments. If I wasn't already living with a cat, I would start right now.
Someone dumped a couple cats on my daughter's land. They promptly birthed 8 and 9 kittens. She now has 17 tiny, fluffy, adorable kittens. Her very old cat is trying to raise them, smacking the new mama cats when kits are neglected. Grandma Cat FTW
does any one know about warrior cats? there is no one I know who does!
... she was the one-too-many at a guy's whom a friend knows ... and now, she's princess and commandress-in-chief, sometimes with teeth-in-commanded ... well, me. DSC04031-6...f57988.jpg 
I want a cat so bad but of course my mom is “allergic” so I can’t have one 😭
By the way, is it just me or is there another post directly below this one when you scroll down?
Twit is an American company ! BP and Lithuania hate the USA. What's up with that ? How are the American soldiers defending Lithuania right now getting along ? Sorry -- just had to observe that... My nephew is there defending you people...
I've read this like 3 times now and still don't know what the hell you're talking about.
