furocious

I'd also add it's the world's most prolific thief because it stole my heart 💜

I had to look up the black-footed cat.

What a beast.

It is said that the photographer was eaten alive seconds before taking that picture

Thats just a regular housecat, you cant trick me

[-] UnpledgedCatnapTipper@piefed.blahaj.zone 48 points 1 week ago

They're actually smaller than housecats! They're the deadliest because they have the highest success rate when hunting, but they're super small and adorable.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago

Do they attack hooman?

[-] UnpledgedCatnapTipper@piefed.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 week ago

They'd probably run away, they only weigh like at most 5.5 pounds (~2.5 kg)!

deadly adorafloof!

So tiny and cute, but those claws don't joke around even at that age.

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 21 points 1 week ago

Kitten claws suck. Sharp as all hell, and they don't know how to control them yet.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago

They can USE them just fine, it's choosing NOT to use them that takes maturity. I'm convinced kittens wind up in car ar engines just because they can't resist sticking their claws in the tires, and next thing they know they've climbed up into the engine block

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 10 points 1 week ago

They're like toddlers, they have to try and grab everything

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago

Mine is like a year old and still does stupid shit. When does it stop?

My old cat was old, and super well behaved and nice and friendly. This new one is an asshole.

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 7 points 1 week ago

I got lucky and have two cats that actually listen to me. So i can't say when they stop being like they do.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

When does it stop?

Heeheheehee

Maybe after five or six cats?

My damn cat and I had a petting/biscuits standoff today where she kept digging biscuits into my boob and I kept petting her and she refused to stop until I stopped petting her. I won that standoff: I kept petting her until after she got bored and decided to take a nap, but I swear I've got like 20 minutes of claw marks in that boob I'm gonna have to get a new one.
