One thing I really miss about the old place is the very specific cat pic communities. R/thecatisastapler was a favorite.

We'll just have to curate a new cat picture community, with blackjack, and hookers.

The fixed eye contact makes me think the cat is sending a message, "I require snacks, or else".

Why do so many cats like doing this?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think there are several different motivations.

First, I've seen cats chew up cardboard boxes in order to shape them. This side is in my way, I'm gonna saw it off, and the only saw I have is my face. ergo: cronch.

Second, humans like chewing on things like crunchy potato chips. Imagine if you had long pointy fangs, wouldn't it be satisfying to sink your teeth into something like cardboard?

Maybe it's also like brushing their teeth?

...my cat loved to do this with the styrofoam inserts from my original transformers boxes...

Maybe it's like chewing gum to them, idk.

Love the perfectly spaced row of teef marks. Truly a master of their craft.

The little nose wrinkle as the teeth get punched in always slays me.
