So why do my cats dive in front of mine so frequently!?
Edit: 36 feet, not 36 inches XD
For a real answer, they’re claiming the space. They’re demonstrating that they can control it and you
Square-cube law, mate. Cats are far stronger per gram than us. It would be more like us living with a 3 meter orc that weighed 500kg. Not great, but not terrible. I’ll run the numbers and get back to you.
You’re trying to apply logic to creatures who possess none. They know two things in this scenario; 1, they are faster than you. 2, they are faster than you. They are not thinking creatures. Accept them for their stochasticity.
Hum, my orange braincell got hit by a car, pelvis shattered, and pieced together and bandaged up in another room, wanted to get to his people having dinner. So he used the wall as support to get to us. They are thinking beings with problem-solving capabilities.
It was science that was mistaken with “don’t apply any emotions or thinking to test subjects” for a long time, now catching up.
This legit hurt to read. Hope your orange homie makes it out the other side.
Eh, was years ago. He’s healthy and happy.
My cat is always trying to trip me. Then again, she looks and acts like one of her parents was an African wildcat straight from the savanna. Even when she’s being purry and cuddly laying in my nook, she keeps trying to lovingly bite my face off and when I play with her, she does backflips several feet into the air trying to catch whatever toy I’m animating for her. Little creature is half wild!
Because the cats are strong enough to rip a few holes in that being. Not strong enough to lift, but enough to shrug off any accidents.
What is 36 feet in (centi)meters?
divide by 3.281
About 10 cm?
36 ft / 3.281 = 10.97 meters
About 11 meters.
They are being careful. They’re just so much more agile than you.
Uh mine gets kicked accidentally at least once a day despite me trying to be careful. She is orange, though. She gets so excited for food that shin-headbutts slow down the food-getting process by 3/4ths.
She is orange, though.
This is why my chickens terrify me. They used to be 25 feet tall, just a handful of dozens of million years ago.
Fucking murder machines.
" inches - two syllables ’ feet - one syllable
It’s not your home.
It’s the cat’s home.
You are its servant and caretaker, and it is training you.
Because the scale matters
Multiply the numbers by 100 again and imagine a kink
they trust that I won’t waffle stomp them.
their trust is misplaced.
I once stepped directly in the middle of my cats back walking down stairs. Instead of putting my weight down I fell backward, landing on my elbow a couple stairs down. All my weight. It took months to be able to lean on my elbow without pain. Pretty sure it was fractured.
Mine also try to kill me on the stairs. As soon as I start to walk up, they run up a few stairs ahead of me and then stop like assholes. Especially in the dark. Thankfully they don’t hang out on the stairs at other times so I know its going to happen because I hear them.
I’ve started walking up them very slowly, so now they continue the game in the hallways and are guaranteed to get kicked at least once, at which point I say “by now you know I can’t see in the dark, you deserved that.” Rather than rewarding them with apology attention.
As if the cats don’t enjoy your disdain.
Your cat will respect that, once she gets over being pissed at your not noticing her camouflaged on the stair. Because how dare you.
Did you get it checked out by a doctor?
Im in America. No.
Shithole country
I’m just waiting for the day my cat realizes I can’t see in the dark like she can, and it’s maybe not the greatest idea to sprawl out on the hallway floor directly between the bedroom and bathroom at night…
My cat actually does know that! He doesn’t mess with my legs when it’s dark XD
Because you’re a good person and prefer to fall on your face to accidentally kicking your cats. If you were to give them a kick each time they cut you off, they’d learn to keep their distance.
