General CAT-ter (The Beanery)

A thread for cats! Pictures, stories, news, discussion, whatever.

ETA 2019: although this thread is usually lighthearted, it is okay to talk about more serious things (like losing a pet) with appropriate spoiler tags for the subject.

 

That video bugs me because that's clearly a female cat :P

 

She snif the banan

 

How can you tell? Im curious what parts to look for, weve only ever had girls except clyde and hes still young so he doesnt have the chub cheeks males supposedly get.

 

Coloration, I'm thinking. Looks like a calico, which is usually a female-only pattern (due to X chromosome inactivation).

 

Yeah. There are occasionally male calicos but they never have normal calico markings, like they'll have one isolated orange splotch someplace rather than the orange patches all over.

 

Bananya!

 

Bananas probably trigger the same "SNAKE!!" fear response that cucumbers do.

 

Me: *eating yogurt*

Girl Cat: hello. you are eating a thing. I am interested in the thing.

Me: ...*gets bit of yogurt on fingertip, offers to Girl Cat*

Girl Cat: *snif snif snif* ...no sir, I don't like it.

Me: Ok. *continues to eat*

Girl Cat: ...

Me: ...

Girl Cat: Excuse me, I said I am interested in the thing you are eating.

Me: I OFFERED YOU SOME ALREADY, YOU DIDN'T WANT IT
