I want to live in a country where “cats jumping out” is what they’re warning people about!
Dunno, you're walking down the street having a great day when suddenly two shorthairs spring up behind you, a third drops down from a tree above, brandishing a knife to your chin and hissing promises of death and retribution at you
Dont threaten me with a good time
Just go Pss, Pss, Pss, and they'll either run away, or flop down for some pets.
I’m still not seeing the downside here, because…well…cats.
I'm confused. Are these warning signs or advertisements?
Everybody came here to say the same thing: I need that sign in my house.
Hell I want it tattooed on me
All I'm seeing is a warning about an army of super-cats flying ahead.
Who do you call when you want some pepperoni?
Brb on my way to Japan.
brb moving there
I would like to buy one of those signs, how hard would that be?
Cat ambush predator packs.
A cat spawning from a bush made me fall from my bike once, I guess I would have paid more attention with a sign like that
In Paris, there was a spat of feral colonies going after tourists a while back.
Well. Once.
But I still think it’s funny to imagine it being a bigger problem.
want sign
A bunch of crows is called a ~~gang~~ iirc, is there a term for multiple cats jumping out at you?
Update: damn I learned a lot from you guys with the google and whatnot.
A group of crows is a murder, and ravens are an unkindness. Smart black birds were not named with politeness.
The unpoliteness was likely mutual

According to this random website (just one of the first results on Ecosia): "While clowder is the most common collective noun for cats, a group of cats is also called a cluster, litter (kittens of the same mother), destruction (wild cats), or nuisance."
First time I've heard any of those apart from litter, personally. There's also a pride of lions.
feral cats are a colony, too.
A cataclysm
An ambush of cats?
A chaos of cats
Voltron?
Not one , 3 of them! Scarry
God [...] flying out [...]
Warning
Hey I can read Kanji xD
"God"? I think something was lost in translation!
The radical 礻means god, when you see that radical being used, its usually a character that related to spirituality like 福 is fortune, which is related to the concept of the supernatural.
Here it's a katakana character purely used for the sound, in this case "ne," the first half of neko, for cat.
But I wanna worship our lord and savior, the Holy Cats
I mean, this is the Internet, nothing stopping you from that lol
