There was a little cat that used to accompany me on my walk home from work most nights. I would walk through this pretty quiet neighborhood, and the cat if he was outside would run up and walk along with me. Like "Oh shit, we buddies, let's go on patrol together." Eventually, it would be too far and he would take his leave. Then, same thing next night.

Wonderful stuff, man.

You know, I never considered myself to be a cat person before...or any kind of animal person, really.

But I got a cat last month. I love him. He is my buddy. I am now a cat person lol.

Indeed, they’re so often misunderstood. They are loving, loyal, playful, and extremely affectionate. Cats are wonderful friends. They get a bad rap because persons often don’t know how to interact with them.

OMG that looks exactly like my cat that is meowing at me this exact moment

I always stop and offer pets and scratches for cats. It's the correct thing to do.

The way those little paws tuck in his so adorable!

Those are polite paws and a sure sign of a well catted cat

Cats are great, buti wouldn't recommend putting your face next to a cat you don't know.

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I was gonna say, that cat looks like it’s about five seconds from a swat.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

if it lets you get that close it's almost certainly friendly

You must do this.
