There was a stray cat at my friends apartment who would follow you from your car the door and just beg to be loved. So I called my fiancé and told him I wanted to adopt him… and that he was old and probably didn’t have much longer….. I lied through my teeth. At first my fiancé would gripe about the cat and tell all his friends how I just thought some nasty big ole cat home…… now he cuddles with the cat every night and he gets jealous if I cuddle the cat for too long. 😂😂😂😂
My husband: "No, we can't take in any more cats, we have two!" Also my husband: "Omg there's a kitten outside! Bring food and the carrier!!" Guess we have a 3rd cat now. I thought I was the crazy cat lady!?
Yes! I love how she set out a bed, put a box next to it. Once kitty jumps in, take the box inside and enjoy your new kitty 🥰
I would’ve done the exact same thing! And yes, you now have a cat! You also have a wonderful, caring and compassionate wife!
Got a neighbor who walked up with a tiny kitten. I had a litter tray, litter, kitten food a cat bed and a sheepskin within an hour.
Yes we know you are a rotten nasty useless walking meat suit who's taking up space with you hate

The no-context snippets have become so popular that Kathryn VanArendonk, a Vulture critic who mainly covers TV and comedy, tried to get to the bottom of it.
"Images taken from a TV show or movie and combined with a quote are an internet staple from way down deep in the Tumblr-verse, where GIFs and screenshots of beloved pop-culture objects have long been collected into easily shareable digital scrapbooks," she wrote.
However, VanArendonk pointed out that lately, it feels like they busted out of that particular niche and spread across the broader social-media landscape, where they've developed a distinct flavor and found a bigger audience.
"The no-context screenshot is no longer just intended for fans of a show who will love an image precisely for its context. Now, the no-context screenshot has become a deliberate act of yanking a particular moment out from its original framework," she said.
Look, Napoleon, you're gonna get thick like this guy if you do not get your diet on point.
Part of why social media pages like 'Unusual And Funny Photos' are so have such big followings could be simply utility.
"An image is smaller and less finicky than a GIF, [and] it's easy to share across multiple platforms," VanArendonk said.
"It's easy to lift a single image from, say, Neo Yokio and set it off onto the internet, freed from its original framework."
She’s a brick. Couch. She’s mighty, mighty, letting it all hang out. (Admit that you sang it in the comments and make my day brighter, you magnificent bastards).
Learned the hard way why not to put dish soap in the dishwasher...
The incongruity theory can also help us in understanding the phenomenon. It suggests that no-context images disrupt our normal thinking patterns, sparking surprise and amusement.
Such feeds not only capture our attention but also provide a break from all the mundane posts we're used to seeing day in and day out. 'Unusual And Funny Photos' align with our psychological inclination to seek novelty, and capitalizes on it pretty well, if you ask me!
As a Brit, I can confirm that I and anyone else from here would forever be stuck behind that door, queuing in obedience
This is not conjoined twins. It’s one woman with her head over the shoulder of her friend, hugging from behind. Accidentally, the effect unfortunately mimics the look of the famous twins, whose names escape me, who had that tv show.
