Random cats love me and it makes me happy. They always just approach me and want strokes. : cat

That’s so cool and I think it’s the best superpower. Cats make me happy 😊

Indeed it is!

Part of why cats like you is probably because you don't like them and seek them out. Most cats are wary of people directly trying to approach them without invitation or greeting. In general cats will find the person ignoring them the least threatening and most approachable.

It never fails that cats tend to flock toward the person that is allergic to them, because that person is typically entirely disinterested in them lol. Not being interested in the cats is likely why you make friends with them so quickly!

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I like to slow blink at them to show them I’m a friend and it usually helps them approach me.

a cat is fine too

Goddammit lol, been a while since I've seen that referenced anywhere

I've always been a dog person too, but somehow I ended up with over 10 stray cats.

The only reason I can think of is that they are really good at suckering people in to do their bidding.

Brain worms make you adopt lots of strays too.

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's likely possible. Either way, I can't bear to turn the other way when little critters are starving out in the snow and need help. Now at least I know they're all safe and happy, and not making more kittens under my neighbor's porch.

Perhaps you’re One of the Good Ones™

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Nah, I just have a heart.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

It could be two things.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I like both but I’m more a cat person, less needy than dogs in find.

Yeah they’re cute little ninja bastards.

I do wonder what it is they sense in people to decide if they like them, cause they’ll approach me but not some of my friends.

Nice Seiko 5 GMT

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 6 months ago

Thanks for noticing it.

It’s my first watch and I love it and want to get more watches as they’re very cool.

[–] Wooki@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago (2 children)

No touch belly! Pat the side unless you want under your arm scratched!

[–] Cornpop@lemmy.world 29 points 6 months ago

Depends on cat.

[–] Inktvip@lemm.ee 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

My cat only wants belly rubs. Anything else isn’t good enough.

[–] Shiggles@sh.itjust.works 10 points 6 months ago

Mine specifically grabs my hand and pulls it to his belly. I do eventually get the love bite telling me to stop but overall it’s a relatively painless system

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago (3 children)

If you're gonna stroke a cat in America, please remember to do it in private. Otherwise you'll end up on a list.

[–] Texas_Hangover@lemy.lol 9 points 6 months ago

It's OK to grab them though, right?

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 6 months ago

Thankfully I live in the UK.

[–] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

that cat has no white on it anywhere! fully baked kitty!

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 6 months ago

Yeah it’s beautiful. It was difficult not to steal it.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That cat has grey beans. My grey cat has purple beans, which is way more creative.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Prove it 😉

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Roll that beautiful bean footage!

Best I could do on short such notice.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 6 months ago

Exquisite.

They’ve also killed an uncountable number of civilians and that makes me sad.

As this seems to be a requirement these days. Hamas bad, IDF bad, and Hezbollah are bad.

I’m sick of people who justify the actions of Israel because of the other guys, when only one is a nation state playing in the gutter with terrorists and acting no better.
