My domestic cats seem to locate any open available cardboard box and happily plop themselves into it. This got me thinking, would outdoor cats settle into a random box they find as easily too? What about big cats?

I haven't gotten a single date yet, but will keep you informed

You've misread friend, women will not be drawn to the box. You should try something shiny instead, that's pretty universal.

I think they're saying a date with a cat.

I'm still waiting for the butthole cut

Imagine a blind date where the other person brings their cat. Could be eccentric epic-level trolling, or could be a red flag. Would it matter, or would you wait a bit to grasp more context? What if the cat is not leashed, but polite and charismatic and seems so well trained as to understand English? Would you guess the date is a witch? Or If the cat is leashed/caged, and feral, and might be a skunk, because they work in animal rescue and routinely bring wild animals with them?

I mean.....

I Don't necessarily see a problem with either of those scenarios. Unless they're abusing the cat/animals. I think I would suggest next time something more amenable to the animals, though.

Also, I might flrt with the animal more than the actual date.

I agree. I guess I was just imagining contrapositions to the "crazy cat lady" stereotype

at first they won't be drawn to it, but once there is a cute cat inside, the women won't be able to resist petting it. the box is bait for the bait ๐Ÿ˜‰

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
