You can also call anything you want a cat, so long as no one else sees it to tell you otherwise.

I've adopted 12 winged cats this way. The last person I had over tried telling me "those are vultures, they're disgusting wild animals, why is there vomit everywhere?!", but I know the truth. They're weird cats, and just like any other, they puke.

Vultures are supposedly birds, and birds aren't real, therefore the only logical conclusion is that those "vultures" are actually winged cats.

Legal? Yes

Safe? Fuck no

But can I take them home? What if they have a collar with a name tag that has my neighbor's address on it? Or what if they're wearing a leash being held by a person who won't stop saying "Please put my cat back down"?

Take every cat you see home. As for those scenarios:

Your neighbor is trying to trick you so they can have the cat for themselves, don't fall for it. Take the cat home.
Those weirdos that attached themselves to the cat clearly don't understand what's happening, take the cat home

An unsupervised cat outside can be detrimental to the environment
An unsupervised cat outside could get gravely injured/killed by vehicles or pos human beings or pos human beings in vehicles or wild animals or drown in sewers or drown in open bodies of water or eat something poisonous or pick up a disease that might be deadly/hard to fight

/me kicks dirt

Man... if only I was gay! I only get to pet the cats but never pick them up

[-] needthosepylons@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

It's absolutely not legal Miku. Please all of you don't do that.

[-] alexiascylding 4 points 3 months ago

its legal to pick them up and giving them cuddles

[-] needthosepylons@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Cuddles maybe. Some homeless people care about their cats more than their own life. The nerve some people have to rob them of their cats.. I've seen it happen recently. I knew the guy, called him. He recognized his cat. The young couple said the cat would be better off with them than with a hobo. Needless to say, we "retrieved" the cat.

So no Miku, don't do that.

[-] alexiascylding 4 points 3 months ago

miku only said pick them up, i meant cuddles c:

[-] wondrous_strange@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Goddamn youre my hero ❣️

[-] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 10 points 3 months ago

Thanks Miku, I will endeavor to pick up any and every creature I see.

[-] cccc0@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 months ago

but watch out

[-] wondrous_strange@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

What if I'm not gay, still legal?

[-] alexiascylding 7 points 3 months ago

maybe

[-] hswolf@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

choose your next words wisely, otherwise violence isn't out of the table

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 months ago

Thanks, Miku! I've been a fan since your days with Domino's Pizza

[-] uriel238 5 points 3 months ago

Yeah, maybe develop a rapport with them, like feed them for a few days.

Some ferals around here are pretty cynical of humans... or anyone.

[-] buttfarts@lemy.lol 6 points 3 months ago

Cats are really big on consent. As a dog person this is unusual to me. Dogs are sluts for everyone. I can basically go and touch almost any dog I see out in public and it appreciates me for it.

Man ... If you touch a nice lil kitty they can get real nasty. Even if they appear friendly and affectionate at first they can just slap your hand with their nails right outta nowhere.
