So why do my cats dive in front of mine so frequently!?
Edit: 36 feet, not 36 inches XD
What is 36 feet in (centi)meters?
About 11 meters.
They are being careful. They’re just so much more agile than you.
" inches - two syllables ’ feet - one syllable
This is why my chickens terrify me. They used to be 25 feet tall, just a handful of dozens of million years ago.
It’s not your home.
It’s the cat’s home.
You are its servant and caretaker, and it is training you.
36" tall, 2-ton creature
3 feet tall, 4000 pounds?
You remember the song “George Washington, George Washington 3 feet tall and 4000 pounds”
George Washington by Brad Neely.
Washington, Washington. six-foot-eight, weighs a fucking ton (VIEWER WARNING: He’ll save children, but not the British children.)
Also later in the song:
- “six-foot-twenty, fucking killing for fun”,
- “12 stories high, made of radiation”
He’ll save the children just not the British children
op is dense fella
He’s a cheese wheel!
They called 'em the Lead Pancake in high school.
Girthy.
Maybe some sort of clonal shrub, like an aspen but shorter? XD
Thanks for the correction!
Someone here has dated that person. You KNOW they have…
Look, look. Look, this is what I was asked to build. Eighteen inches. Right here, it specifies eighteen inches. I was given this napkin, I mean…
They might like De La Soul
Some kind of short legged quadruped? Low rider bull?

At first yes. But then you’d be zipping around it because it is soooo slooooow
Unless you’re my geriatric dog, in which case, you refuse to move no matter what the huge animal near you is doing, and just give them a hurt look when they walk into you.
The was a corgi my friends family had, a former show dog, he would intentionally lay behind someone who is standing in a hallway or other passage. He knew he would get tripped over, because he also knew he’d get affection and apology cuddles after.
How dare you hurt that poor sweet baby! Everyone knows that hallways, door frames, and kitchens are made for lounging!
the Force is strong with this one
I don’t think my cat knows that he’s faster than me, he is very dumb XD
He just cannot comprehend your lack of agility and reflexes.
I guess “serious injury from stumbling on level ground” isn’t something cats really have to worry about XD
I once stepped directly in the middle of my cats back walking down stairs. Instead of putting my weight down I fell backward, landing on my elbow a couple stairs down. All my weight. It took months to be able to lean on my elbow without pain. Pretty sure it was fractured.
Mine also try to kill me on the stairs. As soon as I start to walk up, they run up a few stairs ahead of me and then stop like assholes. Especially in the dark. Thankfully they don’t hang out on the stairs at other times so I know its going to happen because I hear them.
I’ve started walking up them very slowly, so now they continue the game in the hallways and are guaranteed to get kicked at least once, at which point I say “by now you know I can’t see in the dark, you deserved that.” Rather than rewarding them with apology attention.
As if the cats don’t enjoy your disdain.
Your cat will respect that, once she gets over being pissed at your not noticing her camouflaged on the stair. Because how dare you.
Did you get it checked out by a doctor?
Im in America. No.
Humans are to cats as cars are to humans: similar difference in weight and size, similar (if not greater) danger—but we walk around them because we’re used to them and we think we can predict them well enough. And because we’re often going to the same places.
But cars freak me out…
The only reason I walk around them is because I have to, not because I want to
Finally, a good answer!
Cats are reeeal dumb animals, but people think they are smart because they are pretty.
The fact that they understand dignity hides the fact that they din’t understand much in general
ha, great point
They are relatively smart, but they think like cats not like people and people love to anthromorphize their pets.
Thanks, i guess…
Housecats, not khajit. Y’all are smarter and uglier before Skyrim at least
Some say Alfiqs only live Elsweyr yet M’aiq has held many of conversations with Alfiq when no one is looking.
Mayhaps Alfiq have nothing to say to you?
If smart means ‘thinks like a human’ then I guess so…
here, smart means “aware enough to not run under a titan’s feet”, a test cats fail to meet regularly.
they’re oblivious little derps
I’ll take that point. But all in all I wouldn’t call cats dumb. There are some dumb specimen, for sure, but that goes for all beings. And this comes back to my initial point: Cats have some unique “smart” skills, they just don’t compute in the same way as we humans do. I’d put cats in the smart … lets say 10% of all creatures
wow, 10%. cats are so unaware i think I could give them top 60%.
Killer whales, primates, crows, plenty of animals seem to demonstrate problem solving skills, true communication, situational awareness. cats do not. they seem to operate solely on instinct and any deviation completely flummoxes system.
They’re good at stalking and being pretty, but that’s about it.
But there’s no way in heckadoo cats are anywhere near the top 10% smartest animals. they tricked ya by looking sleeeek.
You’re whiffing on the point. That’s not usual behavior for stray or wild cats, it’s a specialised behavior that involves people and other animals they feel are ‘safe.’ Not an intelligence issue.
whiff
whiff because you failed to provide a “/s” tag?
Sure, buddy.
wwwwwwwhiff
That “omission” is deliberate.
Your literal first comment is:
Cats are reeeal dumb animals, but people think they are smart because they are pretty.
You’re saying that’s meant sarcastically, and everyone reading is supposed to automagically know that you’re being facetious? Do you find yourself regularly surrounded by mind-readers…?
That’s what He said.
No no. Karmalee was very pretty. Like, model cat.
Dumb as hell. Pretty, but, if she were a human, she’d be a blonde valley girl from the 1980s. The kind the movie Clueless made fun of.
- 36 inches is about the height of a human 2 year old.
- Assuming average weight of a 2 year old is 30lbs.
- Assuming average body mass density is the same as water (1g/cm^3 ).
Then average volume of a 2 year old is:
(30lbs * 453.5924g/lbs) * cm^3 /1g = 13607.772cm^3
- Assuming volume is constant, but weight increased to 2 US tons
Then final creature density is:
(2 * 2000lbs * 453.5924g/lbs) / 13607.772cm^3 = 133.333…g/cm^3
That is about 6 times denser than the heaviest measured element and a little over half the density of the solar core.
I sincerely hope my math is right, but this is a shitpost and I didn’t have paper so :shrug_emoji_1:
Knowledge is being able to do the math.
Wisdom is realizing OP made a mistake with his numbers
36’ is 36 feet
You’re right.
When I started writing the comment there were 0 replies and the title read 36".
When I posted what was ultimately the second comment the title still read 36".
They updated it after
Your cats are trying to kill you.
OP, you’re the enemy AT-AT.
You wouldn’t be tempted to rub yourself against its leg?
Nope, I’ve seen elephants and have had no such temptation XD
If your species showed affection by rubbing against others and you trusted the creature not to step on you, and you were trying to act all sweet to beg for food tho…
Edit: 36 feet, not 36 inches XD
