They're definitely littermates that stuck together

Story time!

I had a grey tabby named Lucy. She was a wiz at sneaking out, and I would frequently get calls from neighbors and friends telling me she'd been spotted, and to come get her from under their house or out of their doghouse or whatever.

Got a call one day, "hey, man, Lucy's over here, I tried to get her for you, but she's acting all mean"

I went and got her, and sure as shit, she's being just hateful. She's normally sweet, but it's super hot outside, and the yard she was in had a dog and it might have freaked her out. So I take her home, and she hides. Over the next three days whenever she comes out of hiding she alternates between being my sweet little baby Lucy, to being the spawn of an ancient demon bent on the destruction of mankind (and their upholstery). Hissing, scratching, biting... Just weird and crazy.

After about 3 days, I'm sitting in my mom's room and she's laying there in my lap, being so sweet. I'm telling my mom I think we need to take her to the vet because of the mood swings. We're actively calling to make the appointment for her when Lucy walks into the room and starts trying to shred the blankets.

Lucy walked into the room.

Lucy was laying in my lap.

What the actual fuck.

I had straight up kidnapped someone's cat.

10/10 loaf, would bake again

He is ticked at me for being on the computer rather than petting him.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

Understandable. How dare you!

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago

One of mine has eye makeup but she hides in the shadows no problem

I'd take it as a compliment that they chose your porch

Grey cat omen... You're going to have a boring day

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 days ago

it'll be rain

[-] blargh513@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 days ago

Or you will be thoroughly meowed at for snacks.

[-] prole 4 points 1 week ago

Only if you live in a horror novel. I can't imagine how scary life would be if I actually believed omens were real.

When you accidentally insert cat.exe into the startup batch file and every morning a new one emerges...

So, if Catception is supposed to be a joining of Inception and Cat, wouldn't that, instead, require a cat inside another cat inside of another cat, and etc? I don't see cats inside other cats, here!

At least four includes five.

[-] Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 111 points 1 week ago

Those are such sweet cats, I got one of those boys and he's my little buddy.

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago

Me too! Mine's a lil monster though.

[-] Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 79 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I've got a couple grey goobers

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 51 points 1 week ago

omg it's literally the "just the two of us" cats

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago

Aw 😻 my kitties were a little more long and slender when they were babies

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Just looking at them and you already know they are planning something criminal. It sickness me.

[-] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 56 points 1 week ago

They're probably all siblings haha

[-] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 1 week ago

¡ C L O N E S !

[-] Australis13@fedia.io 35 points 1 week ago

I fully expect tomorrow's update to include a sixth and possibly seventh cat.

[-] puppycat 29 points 1 week ago

there used to be more, but i took one home with me. sorry OOP.

[-] DrSoap@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Such a handsome lil man so cute

[-] RandomUser@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

It's a very large glitch in the matrix

[-] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Mitch with grey tricks?

[-] prole 2 points 1 week ago

The simulation is breaking down

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 19 points 1 week ago

I was adopted by a grey cat for a while. It was so calm and gentle. Good kitty. c:
Didn't stick around long, sadly.

[-] astutemural@midwest.social 19 points 1 week ago

This is getting out of hand. Now there are ~~two~~ five of them!

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

seriously. that's almost too many to pet at once

[-] sheepishly@fedia.io 16 points 1 week ago

god I just want to sit in the middle of that crowd of cats and make kissy noises at them and have them occasionally acknowledge me and accept skritchies

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Damnit! Felix got into the replicator again!

Simulation ran out of skins for the NPCs

[-] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

My outdoor/semi feral tuxie turned out to be two cats. Similar reaction.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

out behind the woodshed:

catspeak: Look man, I'm tellin' ya, it'll work. Just go in the door and annoy them till they feed you. I'll go in 2 hours later and pretend it never happened.

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

That's specist! /s

Every time I see an orange cat about the same weight as my old orange can it triggers a subconscious why do they have a picture of my cat reflex for a microsecond.

[-] xorollo@leminal.space 3 points 1 week ago

Gotta protect the babies online footprint.

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I have a grey cat and so does my friend. Is it common for grey cats to be incredibly docile and chill? Both of these cats have no problem with being picked up and smooched & cuddled & carried around like fluffy widdle beebees.

[-] LOLseas@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

Now scatter freshly rubbed catnip and let 'em really vibe. Miss my cats vibing on freshly grown catnip. Good times had from all.

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

i have an orange and a tuxedo girls, I think I should get a grey too. Are they very different from oranges and tuxedo?

[-] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Must be getting ready to go shoot a movie or something, am I right?
