why we go awwwwww at cats

[parallelepipete]

I would - cats not kittens .

Kittens mew and shit and try to eat electrical cables; I prefer them when they grow up.

Can you tell our cat not to eat them then? She's three and has just ruined the telephone in our bedroom

 

[Sorry.]

fucking awful things, whose existence should be immediatedly curtailed.

I have a lot of strays at my work place and frankly its driving me crazy!! just saw kea's latest kitty pix, which inspired this thread.

Cats....any breed, pedigree or non pedigree alike

When I see a cat, I get a physical feeling, (like the warm feeling in your legs when you get into bed after a hard day on your feet, .

They are luxurious looking and feeling and very supple, gracious and elegant.

They are so perfect looking, miniature little predators who have a street wise air about them.

They have a unique air of dignity.

And the eyes. . . . what can I say?

They are a living work of art.

I love the way that despite being about two foot long and one foot high, they can make me do whatever they want.

 

[panpete]

s - s - t-t-ret-t - c - h

They are elastic

and contortionists

 

[ether]

cats r too c l 4 skool.

I wouldn't go aww cos that'd be like patronising them. They really are worth more respect than that, *because* they don't seek awwws, like dogs do. Dogs r stoopit.

This won't make me popular but it needs to be said.

<Rant Alert> - due to giving up smoking and finding a bloody cat has pissed over my record collection AGAIN!!

The reason cat lovers go awwwwww at cats is because they don't have much of a personality to begin with and so find it easy to deal with a non-threatening animal rather than be challenged by a real live person.

Cat lovers are so boring that talking to them is like listening to Coldplay on repeat for three weeks.

They are the type of people who listen to chart music and get bored with the songs at the same time that the hits fall off the charts; they only buy singles because they never want to bother hearing the whole album.

What do Cats actually do? Nothing! That’s what. They seem to have no other purpose apart from pissing over my stuff. A cat’s life is nothing but stupefying tedium.

And so when a boring person sees something that just lies around all the time they think, "Great! This animal is more boring than I am!"

So they then talk to their cats in pathetic little baby voices because it makes them seem interesting by comparison.

I do concede that many linguists claim that baby talking to infants is actually important, because it helps teach babies to understand words, and to speak. That may be so -- but have you ever seen a talking cat? NO!!!!!

That’s the reason and you all know it.

Ah, I feel so much better for getting that off my chest.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

what the hell is up with that?

 

[winterinmoscow]

<applauds>
actually, I know the reason why so many reasonable people go awww at cats; it's cause you're bloody hungry, and you correctly envisage that cat as a tasty meal
sits back, smirks, waits confidently for flaming

 

[Numbers]

I communicate with one of my cats on a very interesting level, he's almost like a brother. no shit.

My mrs finds it fascinating how close the cat and I are.

He follows me everywhere, and I do mean everywhere, he likes nothing more than to sit next to me when I'm being erbilicious, or when I'm surfing, wakes me in the morning, lies next to me when I get in the bed. He comes up to the toilet with me even... he doesn't just stare blankly at me, he actually motions his head, paws me, bumps me, licks me all the time.. legs, arms, bal' head when I'm lying down, he has about a dozen different meows at different levels, indicating different things.

He looks at me then looks at things, i.e. if his bean bag needs plumping up, if he's hungry or thirsty or wants to go out...

the other cat does similar typical cat traits, meows loud when he's hungry, goes to the door if he wants to go out etcetera, but the 'human' one does it differently... very very weird.

I think it all goes back to a magic mushroom trip I had at home with the cat when he was a kitten, I connected with him, the house too mind, but especially with the cat and since then it's been very spooky.

This is him...

I have pretty much the same relationship with htis one.
