I've heard just as many Cat owners be pissy about their cats' subtype

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Cat subtypes:

  • Asshole
  • Not asshole.
[–] baronvonj 25 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Not asshole.

There is no such subtype.

You and I know that, but just in case they’re listening.

[–] hoshikarakitaridia 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes. There is either asshole or asshole but purrs occasionally.

I had a cat that was not an asshole. But he was severely disabled. Bad brain damage, nearly blind, digestive issues, and a heart murmur that turned into heart failure.

Lil dude was too dumb and fragile to be anything but the best cat in the world. The only thing he did that annoyed me, was stealing slices of pizza, eating the cheese off of them, then putting the soggy slice where he knew I'd step on it. It was too funny for me to be actually mad.

He had a great 8 years and knew nothing but complete adoration from literally everyone he met.

I had a cat like that and she was the best! She was so old and decrepit and all she wanted to do was love people but she didn't quite know how.

There is and I’m sad it’s not my cat.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Both of my cats are not assholes. I swear they are not forcing me to write this.

There is a cat fancy, purebred cats exist, but there is a population of normal cats in the world that haven't had their genes mangled, where there really isn't with dogs. Every single dog in the world is a something something mix, whereas my cat is "a grey one."

Cause cars haven’t been domesticated, just tamed or whatever. If cats where domesticated to the extent of dogs we would have way more breeds.

It might be more to do with dogs having a very high degree of genetic plasticity, unusually so. I remember an interesting paper on it. This just doesn't seem to be the case with cats.

"just as many"? Press X to doubt. I don't doubt you've heard some, but people just don't care about cat breeds in the same way people care about dog breeds.

Hence the meme
