Those people shouldn’t have tied themselves to the tracks then.

The cat tied them there
All those people tied up over there, previously disturbed the cat.
Those brave people on the tracks understand. Especially since the track switch is beyond where they are lined up so it would not matter.
The cat is absolutely doing that on purpose.
I guess they all gonna die then.
one does not simply disturb the cat 🐈
As a non cat owner - why? how bad could it go. at best i assume cat would scratch my face or other body parts. like what is the worst that can happen. maybe cat eats you, but like, what is so bad
Disturbing the cat results in no attacks. It just means that the peaceful cat gets woken up from their cute nap, which is bad.
Its just an internet meme to "do not move the cat" while its sleeping, because its Anthropomorphism, becauae typically if you distrub a human baby, they're gonna cry, so not disturbing them is a polite thing. So they're extending this principle to pets.
Realistically, you can pick up a cat and move it somewhere and they won't be bothered, they'll just go back to sleep within 10 seconds. (Only applies to your cat tho, don't touch a stray cat, they might bite)
Don't forget to give the kitty forehead kisses for luck
This is why I'm a dog person.
Cats bitch and moan when you disturb their routine.
Dogs are just happy to be interacted with.
I've seen cat owners waste half a dozen cans of food finding out what their cat is in the mood for that night. Cats just seem like another source of highly conditional affection. Might as well just go be social at that point.
But the cat picked me
Right, so you’ve seen that, have you? Watched some gullible sap throw cans of food at the cat until one sticks? Perhaps if it's a newly adopted pet, then yes, you have to put in some work to find the kind of food that the cat prefers. Research has proven that kittens actually build a preference for the food that their mother ate during gestation and nursing, and it takes deliberate care on the owner's part to move them over to a different kind of food.
I once had a golden retriever inhale half a pound of salami, vomit it across the linoleum ten minutes later, and then like some greasy ouroboros of shame, it ate the same spewed-salami again. Twice. It's like comparing apples and oranges, except I bet my dog would have eaten those, too.
And then there’s the cat, not having any of it. Doesn’t fetch, doesn’t beg, doesn’t need humans' approval; which I bet drives certain people mad that it's primary motivation in life isn't to be their own personal dopamine dispenser.
Sarcasm aside, I do get where you're coming from. Cats and dogs aren't variations of the same theme; dogs are social, cats are solitary. Some people understand that and don't expect their pets to be anything more than what they are. Me? I like both cats and dogs. I don’t expect them to be little humans or to stroke my ego. I’m their caretaker, not their cult leader. If they’re happy, safe, and healthy, that’s the win. Anything beyond that is a bonus.
There's actually no reason to be this much of a dick to this dude. He's just a random guy on the internet who doesn't like cats as much as dogs. The fact you needed to write multiple sarcasm filled paragraphs says more about you than whatever you were trying to convey.
Was all said tongue in cheek. I was taking the piss because they were being hyperbolic. Appreciate you.
