[@ollllj]

The shyest wildest cats get VERY cuddly during their first pregnancy. Cats hear heartbeats at long distance and can not keep pregnancies secret between other cats. They become desperate for a 3-months-shelter.

[@applesauce999]

I had a pregnant cat jump into my car while I was camping, as skinny one can be and we didn’t have any food. 2 weeks later she poppes out 6 babies who had to be bottle fed since she was too small to feed them. Now we have her, 2 of the best kittens and they are all spoiled brats lol.

I went out to get dinner, came back with a cat. Something did not go as planned.

Did you... eat the cat? 😶

[@laith8116]

answer the question, Rose.

[@moddkre5141]

Did you at least name the cat “Dinner” or after what you ate?

[@clodolcmidnights837]

Rose, we need to know if you ate the cat

[@JustARoamer]

​​@@Speed001children dont owe their parents, parents owe theor children. There is zero selfless good reason to have kids. "For the economy" whole technically 'selfless' isnt a good reason and often results in one being a bad parent according to what developmental psychology says children need. Any good reason you have will be along the lines of "*i* wanted this and *i* knew i was ready for this on a practical level; at least more ready than the ones doing it for the economy" However there are both good and bad selfish and selfless reasons to avoid habing kids. Though ive personally seen that most have multiple of both of these catagories when they are very firmly in the dont want to have kids catagory. Children dont ask for you to bring them into existence, you force existence upon them. YOU OWE them a GOOD life raised by demonstrated to be effective methods for the first 18 years and teaching them proper responsibility, emotional regulation, independence, interdependence, codependence. How to navigate those situations. You owe them allowing them socializing amd freedom as they get older. They owe you zilch since they didnt ask for you to have them. You willingly took on the burden when you decided to have a kid. Now if you're good to them; they are more likely to want to show their gratitude than lets say, if youve always held necesities over their head like a carrot on a sick

[@shytendeakatamanoir9740]

Sadly, this is part of being a cat parent. Cats' lives are way too short. All we can do, as parents or siblings is a home, and all our love until the end. Pancake had a great life with his Cat Dad, and gave back the love he received tenfold. As sad as his passing is, we can at least be happy with this (that's what I keep telling myself, thinking of my former siblings at least)

He's got really lucky with RFG (Random Feline Generator)

[@JasTheSass]

It’s actually the CDS (Cat Distribution System)

[@marcopohl4875]

@@JasTheSass I came up with RFG before I heard of CDS and to be honest I find it both, funnier and more fitting.

[@Choco____1]

​​​@@marcopohl4875 Well, you aren't entirely wrong. The RFG is a rarely used implement of the CDS. The way the CDS works is by comparing potential recipients (their need for companionship, their financial stability, their household conditions, their personality, their gullibility, etc.) to available merchandise. This is usually done by manual approval within the CDS office. However, there are special cases in which merchandise deposit orders are canceled. This could be from a variety of reasons, but it is typically due to a recipient's conditions changing rapidly and significantly enough that the recipient is deemed inable within the 2-4 business-day-long CDS delivery period. This could be from a house burning down, the loss of a job, or the death of a recipient among many other possible reasons. In such cases of canceled orders, it ends up leaving merchandise with no viable recipient. This facilitated the creation of the RFG. The RFG is an emergency feline deposit system that automatically finds a recipient and implants the merchandise within that recipient's home, bypassing the observation and analysis period required by typical CDS proceedings. In this case, it is unclear as to whether the RFG had been used, but it certainly did come from the CDS.

[@eglol]

Or the CDS (Cat Distribution System)

[@eglol]

The CDS is at least the one I believe in ✨ (I think that RFG is funnier but CDS is more wholesome if you imagine cats pushing buttons to distribute cats to people who are sad. Both are ✨)

[@kat_n_fandom]

I do appreciate the ending not being read aloud but still put in, it gives me the full (current) story, but won’t mess up my mood when I listen to these videos while doing stuff

[@gengarzilla1685]

Pancake was dearly beloved by his human daddy, and that's the important thing to take away from the departure. What matters is that he lived a great life.

[@niyebe6406]

That was a lot of emotions from one video.

"Turned the monsters under my bed into kittens." Yo i didnt know someone could balance profoundness and comedy so perfectly in a single sentence.

I went to Jujutsu practice one day and got back at night to the sweetest little stray cuddling my dad before running into our house. It's been almost a year and she is still the cuddliest baby I have ever met. All my parental instincts kicked in at once.

[@Isometrix116]

Theres something... strange I feel at the end there. It's sadness, yes, but it's also bittersweet. Death comes for us all, but the cat had an amazing life, both for themself and others. It ended, but it has to, and thats... okay. Sad, but okay.

[@BagelBandit_]

This post thread hit me hard 😭 As a fellow furparent i love all my fur children, past and present. They are what light up my days when i am sad and keep me going. I love them like there is no greater love in the world. My family may tease ever so often me for how i treat my dogs but i don't mind because i know that i am doing my best to keep my kiddos happy and healthy for however long we have each other. 🥰❤

I feel his pain on a Almost a physical I too was a cat parent who a pair of two boys who came from the same litter as they were all alone in a cat pound in Austin(I’m from Texas) They had passed away because of old age 6 months ago. I still feel like they’re here. I look at a chair and I think I just saw one of them curled up on top of it or I’ll look underneath the clothes in my closet and I see my void incarnate. I love my babies, no matter where they are to one and all If you have a cat, love them with everything you have they might not always be there(Physically at least) I love you Vanilla and Jinx💜

[@A_Toaster]

Perhaps not as absurd as Catdad but i had a cat who lived in my backyard spit out two litters (one of 2 then 4) one of the 2 in the first litter unfortunately didn't make it but the one that did is now my pride and joy, the second litter were all caught and shipped off to be adopted with the mother being caught and neutered soon after. She couldn't be given a home as she was too feral but i'm sure she's doing fine for herself given she was part of a sort of colony.

[@INANNAISHERE]

for thoes in the comments wondering what I was wondering when I saw the last part of the post (why did pancake die so young when it looks like cat dad takes care of them so well? what happened?!) Apparently, pancake was born with some kind of heart disease (A natural deformity? not sure) cat dad kept taking him to the vet and they did all they could for pancake, it was just his time. Cat dad was heart broken over it. cat dad is a film director for his day job and he credited pancake as a co-writer to honor his memory .·´¯`(>▂

[@meowmreowmeow]

He is THE only catdad. No other catdad

[@GoldenKitty9]

I'm only 15 but if I wasn't I'd try to marry him. Our cat (who we had since she was a kitten, but not since birth) had 6 babies but we could only afford to keep 1 so we kept the one that has a hug addiction because I also have a hug addiction and the only person that can tolerate us for long enough is each other. Also rest in peace Pancake, and may your next life be as warm and wonderful as this one.

Ive said it before, I'll say it again: You don't adopt cats. They adopt you.

[@crossanddream2]

Reminds me of my dad, he didn't want a cat. But I fell in love with a little black kitten, and my mom got me the kitten since she knows my dad won't or do anything no matter how much he says he will. I ended up naming her mama (probably one the only words I knew how to speak) and guess who fell in love? My dad did. Though the same can't be said for mama, he can just look at her and she is running for the hills. And he hasn't done anything to hurt her, it just feels like she knew that he didn't want her to begin with and now my dad is punished for it. He literally had to bribe her with treats just to even let him be near him, and even pet her. Though at some point he had to stop giving her treats since the only brand of treats she could have was starting to make her sick. And it went back to her avoiding him, even now he can make the slightest movement and she is gone. And me and my mom are the only one she likes, she doesn't like my older brother that much. It's honestly a little entertaining seeing how she runs for it after my dad just glanced in her direction
