This is how you invariably feel when you dare question the cat distribution system

[–] SaraTonin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

OTOH, it does mean that OP can get up. Their husband cannot, for it is the law that you cannot get up if you’re being sat on

His greed sickens me

[–] theolodis@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago

All you need is more cats, it'll trickle down at some point (and in case of cats it really moght due to lack of space).

Legit, I run nice and warm too and have cats on me every night and I’m here for it

My posse- Coda, Treble, Yodel ❤️❤️❤️

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yes, but why do they always choose the spot between the legs? Can they not just once in a while? 😪

[–] islandcoda42@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

Easy with the claws!!

Have you ever been between legs before? The groin area is second most largest heat distribution area second to the head. The warmth reminds cats of their warmest mothered and nurtured happy spot youth they lost long ago and stuck still sentimentally chasing that dragon since. Cats are nostalgically stunted reincarnated past life human zen masters by codependent benefit.

Damn I never checked my radiation privilege

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It’s been brought to my attention this meme is likely AI. I’m going to leave it up to the mods to remove it because I don’t want to delete the entertaining comments section. But goddamn, I feel like AI is ruining everything, even fucking shitposts.

[–] bumbling_bee@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

The comments are gold 😂

My partner and I visited a cat café and a group must've had catnip or smth but they had around 7 cats at their seating area at one point

We felt a little better when one of the cats on a high perch started sneezing and snotted over several of the people lol

[–] Curious_Canid@piefed.ca 8 points 2 days ago

Body heat is important, but I also have advanced certificates as "Cat Furniture" from three different cats.

[–] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

What’s stopping you from getting a fourth cat?

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What would stop the fourth cat from also laying on the husband? That would really throw off the ratio!

[–] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Then you get a fifth ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You know how this will end up. Hundreds of cats on the husband.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago
[–] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

At some point the husband will be full. Somewhere around cat #23. So the 24th should work.

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

It's cats all the way down.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago

imagine all the urine .

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Space on the husband is limited.

[–] Bamboodpanda@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I'm currently browsing with a kitten asleep across my neck. Nothing better in the world.

[–] DrPop@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The husband could have been there for hours. You don't start with cats laying on you, usually. He created an environment the cats wanted to be. I have a two cats that sleep with me and 2 that sleep worth my wife. The one that regularly sleeps with me can be k8cked pushed whatever and she will stay. I have a boy though, where if you so much as scratch an itch he's gone. He might come back 5 minutes later but the second tou budge he's gone again. One comes for affection but any sudden movements and she's gone for good. The last you can lay on him do whatever and he doesn't care. Where was i going with this. I like talking about my cats.

Tax the rich, he’s clearly hoarding the wealth and it needs to be redistributed

[–] JohnSmith@feddit.uk 8 points 2 days ago

He is clearly allergic to cats. Cats can’t resist allergic people. Source self.

[–] lemonbun@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

After all these years I've cracked the boyfriend cat magnet formula. Now I just need to figure out how to capitalize

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Step 3:…..

Step 4: PROFIT

[–] lemonbun@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

my theory is that hot hot BODY HEAT

[–] Iusedtobeanalien@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

He is on their couch

[–] collectif_imaginaire@piefed.social 4 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Is it me or it kinda looks like AI

Maybe used to upgrade the pic quality but zoomed in it gets suspiciously weird

[–] ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago

The beer can and the image on the mug look especially "melty." And his arm looks super smooth. And he has a wedding ring on both hands. And his leg starts out looking more or less like a leg but on the left end it looks more like a pillow.

I'm fairly confident it's AI.

[–] osbo9991@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

For what it's worth, lots of phones these days are pretty aggressive with automatic post processing of photos, so the photo could be real (ie not AI generated or edited intentionally with AI) assuming the phone has a lower quality camera sensor with bad detail.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Dang it, is it really? Are all memes AI now? This is some bullshit.

[–] 9488fcea02a9@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

This community should be for actual real pics of community cats

Allowing these people reposting shit off reddit and grandma's facebook is just asking for AI bullshit to flood the community

I propose we have only original content (OC) here

Lay on top of your husband and the cats. Cat sandwich.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago
[–] Furbag@pawb.social 2 points 2 days ago

Have you even tried radiating excess body heat? Geez...

[–] SouthEndSunset@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is it just me or are they all staring at you like they’re challenging you to do something about it?

[–] M137@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago

It's more a look of being uncomfortable from being picked up and put there.

In my house, if both the pets (1 dog, 1 cat) choose you, then you're "The Disney Princess." It was some inside joke about all the animals coming to help Cinderella.

I'm sorry, he's the princess now. Rules are rules.

I'm a simple person: I see cats and I upvote.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Does hubby run hotter than you body temp wise? Or maybe he's wearing tuna fish cologne?
