I have no idea why, but my first thought was that the one in the spiky collar is a girl and the other one is a femboy, haha

Love is love!

You've been on the internet too long, that's why

They both look like girls. Female cats have narrower longer faces while male cats have wider stubbier faces and chubbier cheeks.

I think feral unnuttered boy cats get chubbier cheeks for that classic tom cat look. I could be misremembering some reddit comment that was telling a fib though.

[–] DrPop@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Still accurate.

Could you please make it any more obvious?

Maybe, that he wanted her?

He was a sk8er boi,
but not a rel8er boi,
he couldn't open up to her 💔

Though now that I review the lyrics, it seems like he did make his feelings known, but she, put off by his dangerously alternative attire, spurned his advances. Little did she know that one day he would be famous and therefore worthy of her love. So sad.

Perhaps that secretly she wanted him as well?

Is one a sk8er boy and the other does ballet?

[–] istdaslol@feddit.org 5 points 1 week ago

And their inner selves are reversed

Don't care if idealogically opposed to twitter or other media, who downvotes cats? Even general riposte? Shame upon your line....

One of our dogs loves the cats, and can't understand why they don't want to play with her. Although our orange boy will sometimes let her chase him around (and chase her back).

...those silly good. boys, they just don't know how good frens can sneak in-between meal treats

On the internet, nobody knows you are a dog

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

Some people are just… miserable, I guess? Even pics of cute animals that are not from Twitter get downvoted. Idk why, but I’m certainly curious.

[–] notsure@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah? perhaps the cats are controlling the social media and they are having, ahem, cat fights?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is she at the grocery store?

Is it a thing to dress up your cat and take glamour shots at mundane public locations?

[–] DrPop@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Why not, the cat seems somewhat comfortable. Pupils are dilated so they might be somewhat stressed. But that cat would not be there in that outfit looking like that, if it wasn't okay with it.
