    Haha that’s how my sister got one of her cats. She lived next door then kind of decided she lived with my sister instead. So my sister went over and told the people their cat kept coming in her house and they were like “whatever keep her we were going to get rid of her anyways.” And now my sister has had her for like 10 years.

    Then why does my cat try to kill me by running under my feet every time I walk down the stairs? Are my treats and scritches not enough?!?!

    You make it sound like only the cat benefits from the arrangement, but the cat understands his or her responsibilities of granting pats, scratches, and possibly even belly rubs for good caretakers.

        Well, it’s not like you were going to catch it yourself. The cat just knew if he didn’t give you half his rat you’d die of starvation.

          It was possibly also a comment on the low quality of catfood I was providing. “Saute this lightly and serve with the jus. Chop chop!”

    You really believe cats would stoop so low? Obviously cats made human babies evolve to sound like cats, because humans were engineered to serve cats, so by sounding like cats the little humans would be fed more to be stronger and have more humans to feed cats.

    I can’t think of a single person who would actually just let a cat move in. I think the internet has fooled some of you.
