Obviously I want you to take care of your pets and make sure they get food and fresh water on a regular basis, but cats being huge drama queens and screaming hysterically at you and acting like they’re tragic famine victims who haven’t eaten in weeks and are about to drop dead from starvation right mcfuckin now, because you’re 10 minutes late feeding them is always going to be one of the funniest things to me

the cat who lives at the vet clinic i volunteer at was mad yesterday because his dinner was half an hour late due to a busy day. he proceeded to go to all the (empty dw) garbage cans and tried to knock them over and started desperately scavenging for scraps of food because obviously no one loves him or cares about him and if he must eat garbage to survive then so be it

not food related, but one time my cat cried at me for 20 minutes before i worked out that the reason why she was upset was because there was a coat hanger on her favourite cushion

This is absolutely beautiful and changed my life, thank you so much. Please protect her from hangers at all costs

wow. am STORVING and humaines here making joke laugh at cate honger ?!

My cat is a social eater who is not food motivated at all, so I was baffled when I first got him because he didn’t seem to care about food but he would SCREAM at me for hours when I knew his bowl was full. Any time I went to double check that he did indeed have food, he’d book it to the bowl and snarf like his life depended on it, but as soon as I walked away he’d follow me screaming again.

Eventually I figured out that he just wanted a dining companion and was screaming about how we’re a family and families eat together, god damnit! I moved his food bowl under my computer desk and it fixed the problem. But if I’m ever out for more than 12 hours I’ll come home to find him in a passive-aggressive kitty huff because dinner has been ready for hours but he’s been trying to be considerate (unlike some humans) and waiting for me to eat it. 

On of my kitties starts begging about 2 hours before his actual soft food feeding time (hard food is available 24 hours for my babies). He will cry about how unloved he is and we’ll just joke back like “oh you tragic creature, I know, we beat you every day and threaten you constantly life is just HORRIBLE”. Cats, man. 

idk, man… as a cat it would be pretty frightening when you realize that you’re at the mercy of a really big dumb cat for all your food.  Because like 90% of the food around the house isn’t things you can eat.  Not that some cats don’t try.  My cat ate broccoli once. 

My female will sit ever so patiently waiting for her dish to be filled. Occasionally she’ll cry sweetly (she actually has a little question mark at the end of her cries), but then when we go to feed her, her bowl is full save for one little spot at the bottom. She will sit there for hours and will refuse to eat because as far as she’s concerned her bowl is empty if she can see so much as a millimeter of the bottom.

“And I know it hurts, and I know it’s hard, and I know anything we can ever do is a tiny drop in an ocean of pain, but what else do we do? Do we watch the world burn around us and throw gasoline on the flames? Do we drink and drug ourselves into oblivion and float away despite the pain of everyone else? Do we lay down and die right now and get it over with? 

Well I say NO. 

I say we get up, we tell the void to fuck off, and we keep working. Because eventually something has to give, and, even if it doesn’t, we can sure as Hell try. And maybe trying is all we can do, but we can do it, and we can take away little bits of pain. 

Even if that’s all we can do, it helps. 

Even if it never matters in the end, even if everything crumples into dust eventually and the universe will never know about us, we can help. 

And maybe, just maybe, that ocean isn’t infinite. 

Maybe there aren’t enough of us right now, but what if the next generation can add enough onto what we do? Or the next, or the next? 

I say, if there is any hope at all that we can, not even stop this, but take a few fragments away, we keep fighting. We keep clawing at the void, for as long and as hard as we can, and we teach our children to do the same. 

Because that’s all we can do, but it matters, at least to the people we do it lift. 

And we need to remember that. 

People matter. Even if it’s only for a century or so, people matter. 

So we stand up, and we do this, and we keep doing it. 

We do everything we can. 

Even if we have to rest sometimes. 

Even if we get exhausted. 

Even if we may never see what good it does in the end. 

We. Fight.”
