Fun fact: the cat is checking the baby’s mouth to see if it is still breathing. Were it not breathing, the cat would commence to eat it.
FUN FACT
Omfg
That’s just blatantly untrue. While cats have been known to eat human corpses, it’s generally only when they’re starving and have no other food source. Seriously, quit demonizing cats.
Nose touches (as you see here) are a cats way of saying hello. It’s a friendly greeting. It’s NOT checking for breath.
Laying on a human (as you see here) is literally cat cuddling. Thats it.
We have literal records of cats going out of their way to save the lives of children from various dangers, from fires, to dog attacks, to choking to death. Its very easy to look up.
The only cases of cats eating their humans, have always been when their human died and it has been several days without the body being found. Amazingly this tends to line up with the cat not being fed and therefore STARVING.
It’s also a common thing among most pet animals too? Like sorry, your dog will do it too. Hell, ever heard of the the Donner Party? Humans aren’t exempt. When faced with survival, you try and survive.
STOP DEMONIZING CATS FOR BEING ANIMALS.
(And I mean, all it takes is a quick google search to figure this out, but no lets spread misinformation about innocent animals?)
If you actually truly believe cats are out to get you, and are cold and not affectionate, or whatever else people use to justify demonizing cats… You need to actually look up cat behavior. Your cat who ‘ignores’ you? More often than not is just respecting your space. Your cat who lashes out? Probably not feeling safe in their environment. Your cat brings you gross things? Trying to look after you.
Cats aren’t dogs. They have a set way of communication, and while they can learn dofferent expressions of affection, it will always be less evident than with dogs (who are particularily malleable to human behavior.) This doesn’t mean they are any less loving or capable of bonds.
All it takes is a quick google search to figure out why your cat does what they do. And literally, no cat intrinsically wants to eat babies.
are you kidding me, cats are super protective of small children. they’ve been known to attack dogs, snakes, alligators and grown-ass men if they thought a child was in danger. a stray cat in russia saved an abandoned baby from hypothermia by cuddling him, alerted people to his presence and tried following the freaking ambulance that took him to the hospital. they are very sweet and patient with babies and there are tons of adorable videos out there to prove it.
IF I EVER HEAR ANYONE TALKING SHIT ABOUT KITTIES I SWEAR
“cats are not dogs”
And there’s the rub. People have issues with cats because they’re mad they don’t act like dogs. They are a different animal and they relate and communicate differently. That doesn’t make them worse pets or evil or something.

Cats are good and pure creatures, dammit
Actually true fun fact! Cats who live with humans see those humans as colonymates! Cat colonies communally raise kittens. So if a cat’s human has a baby, the cat considers themself an automatic co-parent. So as far as that cat is concerned, that baby is its baby too. That cat is cuddling with and doting on its kitten.
Oh my god, that last fact is so fucking cute
My parents had three cats before they had me; Scooter was a tiny, furious, orange tabby. Whenever I started crying the other two cats had to go hide behind the stove because Scooter decided that if I was crying it must have been the other cats who made me cry so she’d run around and swat them then go chirp at my mom until someone took care of the noises.
I think it’s TIME that we gays get a game that forces you to be gay and reminds you in every main and side quest that you’re gay so you can not escape into your straight fantasy world and with the happiest and gayest ending there ever was
I would be totally fine with dissolving most or all of the TSA at some point, but the people who work for it right now don’t deserve being forced to work without pay. Also even if we can do without the TSA, we still need air traffic controllers. That part of air travel is kinda essential.
Tell stories about women? Advocate for women? During his tenure he was so inappropriate with women that their careers suffered instead of his.
What are the women who work at Skydance supposed to think?
This man has millions, he could retire, but he continues to force himself at women who would be better off if he wasn’t around.
… well now I’m thinking of those posts that point out how Pixar women tend to have same face syndrome, among other writing and design issues WRT women in their films. The treatment of women under Lasseter is so incredibly telling and I’m optimistic about the work that can be done now that he’s gone.
How about we vote in a law that puts a cap on how long a government shut down can happen… say 20 days… before the president has to agree to a budget solution or else the 21st day congress begins the process of impreachment because civilian jobs and salaries and livelihoods are not a bargaining tool for the president to abuse is order to get their way
If you aren’t serving the people then you aren’t doing the job of the presidency and you need to be replaced
AMEN
I can’t listen to music too loud and I hate when I’m in a position where I have to ask a friend or acquaintance if they can turn it down. It’s not that I hate your music, I’ll listen to it if you want to even if it’s not to my taste. My problem is that I have delicate ears with audio sensitivity issues. I can’t even listen to music that I love over a certain volume without wanting to fling myself from a moving vehicle.
Please be kind to your ND friends when they need you to adjust the music volume, I promise that it isn’t personal.
Make noise about this. Don’t let this slip under the raydar. Disney tried to make us forget what this man did. Do not forget how this man treated his female employees and co-workers. He’s not sorry, he’s only sorry that he got caught.
Valentines day is coming up so this is your annual reminder that relationships, whilst a wonderful thing, are not the apex of the human experience, and nor are they a mark of success in life. And even if you’re in one, the depth and trueness of your feelings isn’t reflected in how much cash you spent on a one day chocolate binge. Valentine’s Day is just a day - nothing more, nothing less. What you do or don’t do on that day, and who you’re not doing it with, means nothing more than any other day.
Also, nab the discounted chocolate the day after. That’s the real reason for the season.
