This is just waiting to be one of those videos where the kitty breaks the screen biting it

u/Adrian1616 8d ago
Yeah or breaking the hinges jumping on it. Never understood why people let their cats fuck with their thousand dollar computers like they're toys.

u/Polyporous 8d ago
I don't think the cat weighs enough to mess up the hinges yet. It won't be long, though.

Weird idea, maybe they should play with the kitten they just got for 5 minutes instead of watching their laptop

Play with her. In a year, she will be a carpet.
You can always watch your show or movie later.

The fact that the human is still more interested in the dumb light rectangle when there is a painfully adorable void minion right there is beyond me

u/CheshyreCat46 8d ago
I’ve never heard them called void minions before. I’ve heard house panther but void minion is so much better.

I used to have a cat named Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos, Stalker Amongst the Stars. I learned a lot about nominative determinism from that cat.

Get a shoelace and play with the kitty!

u/eobardtame 8d ago
Please don't use a shoelace and teach your kittens that this is an acceptable thing to put in their mouth unless you want to pay for a gastrotomy
11
u/robothobbes 8d ago
I appreciate your concern, but my cats have never eaten a shoelace. They're thick and some laces are leather from old shoes. The cats love grabbing the snake and shaking it.
Yes, some strings are thin or deteriorate, but those aren't the laces I'm talking about. Heck, even the twine used for scratching posts wear out, but I clean those pieces up before the cats ingest them.
I'd rather see someone using a shoelace as a toy than letting their cat jump on the laptop and bite it while being ignored and pushed away.

u/konq 8d ago
My cat has played with shoelaces for over a dozen years and never attempted to swallow it.
Sounds like you got a dud.

u/Zeras_Darkwind 8d ago
Yep, rubber bands for my dipshits, but never shoelaces; they just liked to floss!

We have pets for a small part of our lives (time wise) where as the pets entire life is only with us. Unconditional love, if we do our part.

I'd be careful ignoring the gremlin - videos from users exist that show cats have enough bite strength to permanently damage laptop screens.

Just a heads up, I've seen multiple posts on the PC subreddit where people have had screens damaged by curious kitties. You might want to stop them from thinking this is ok behavior, and separate play/hang out time. They're a cutie!

When will people learn to not put laptops directly on blankets or other soft furnishings so you don't block the fan and cause your laptop to overheat? 🤦🏻🤷🏻
Also, play with your cat!

Kittens are so cute. Get some toys and play with her. Pretty soon that will be a cat, with the attitude, to quote George Carlin "fuck that, I'm a cat."
For the uninitiated, here's George Carlin:
Most people understand that cats are completely different from dogs, and generally they like them for different reasons. One quality people like in cats is their independence; they appreciate a pet who can take care of himself. “I never have to do a thing. He cleans his room, makes his own clothing, and drives himself to work.” Unlike dogs, who are needy and dependent, and who like you merely because you know where the food is located, cats don’t get all hung up on fake affection. They don’t go nuts and slobber all over you when you come home, the way a dog does. They parcel out a certain limited amount of physical affection from time to time, but it probably has more to do with static electricity than anything else.
--“Not Me!”--
Cats have another quality I find admirable: blamelessness. When a cat makes a mistake, he doesn’t accept responsibility or show embarrassment. If he does something really stupid, like jumping onto a table and landing in four separate coffee cups, somehow he passes the whole thing off as routine. Dogs aren’t like that. If a dog knocks over a lamp, you can tell who did it by looking at the dog; he acts guilty and ashamed. Not the cat. When a cat breaks something, he simply moves along to the next activity. “What’s that? The lamp? Not me! Fuck that, I’m a cat! Something broken? Ask the dog.”
--“I Meant That!”--
A cat can make any mistake appear intentional. Have you ever seen a cat race across a room and crash into a glass door? It doesn’t faze him at all. WHIZZZ! SPLAT!! “I meant that! I actually meant that. That’s exactly what I was trying to do.” Then he limps behind the couch, holding his head: “Oh, Jesus! Fuckin’ me-ooow! Goddamn fuckin’ me-ooooooow!” Your cat is much too proud to let you see him suffer. But if you look behind the couch, you’ll see him recuperating from a domestic mishap. “Hi. Tried to jump from the sofa to the window. Didn’t make it. Tore a ligament. Got milk?”
--Rub Me Tender--
Cats are very tactile; they love to rub against your leg. If you own a cat, and you have a leg, you’ve got a happy cat. “Oh boy, oh boy! I’m rubbing against his leg! How I love his leg!” If you have two legs, you’ve got yourself a party. “Oh boy, oh boy, two legs! Now I can do the figure eight.” They love to do the figure eight: around one leg, in between, and then around the other. “Oh boy, oh boy. I’m doing the figure eight.” He’ll rub against your legs even if you’re not there yet. You might be twenty feet down the hall. As soon as he sees you coming he starts walking side ways. He doesn’t want to miss a shot at your legs. “Oh boy, oh boy! Here he comes! Soon I’ll be doing the figure eight.”
--His Ass Is Yours--
Cats are so tactile you don’t even have to do the petting. All you need is to put your hand somewhere near him, and he’ll lean into you and do all the work. They love to push back. Then there’s the ass trick. Did you ever stroke a cat who’s lying absolutely flat, and before you’ve run your hand halfway down his back, his ass is sticking way up in the air? As if you pressed an “ass button ” or something? “Isn’t he a cute little…holy shit! How did he do that?” Or sometimes if he’s on the bed with you he’ll climb onto your chest and stick his ass right in your face: “Hey, here’s my ass! Check my ass, Daddy! Get a nice, clean look at my ass!” And then while he’s showing you his ass, he starts that kneading thing with his paws; like he’s playin’ the piano. God, I hate that. “Get him offa me! Jesus, I hate that! I don’t even know what it is, and I hate that. It’s as if he got hold of some bad drugs. What is that?” “It’s an instinctive nursing behavior, honey. He misses his mommy.” “You always say that. You said that about the mailman.”

I always worry about those things causing vision damage in animals, even from the spot on the floor. Their eyes are so much more sensitive than ours and they don't know not to stare at the bright thing for prolonged periods of time.
Am I just paranoid or is there actually some danger?

You guys think it's cute.
I used to think it was cute too.
Then my cat swiped on my phone, losing my progress on an audiobook that's 24 hours long. I've never finished it

I had a matched pair of little sisters. They’d wait until we were sleeping, then crawl under the bed and run laps upside-down under it pulling themselves along with their claws. They both made it to 20. Miss those girls. ❤️

I must protest, this is not an animal being a deep. This is a kitten being a kitten, and a somewhat well behaved one at that.
Cute af. Yes. Deep? No.

Thank you so much for this video. Sh looks so much like my little Wasabi and she did the same thing with me. I miss her so much. Now she’s just an old fuddy duddy, but she does enjoy playing hide and seek in the dark.
