Story time!

I had a grey tabby named Lucy. She was a wiz at sneaking out, and I would frequently get calls from neighbors and friends telling me she'd been spotted, and to come get her from under their house or out of their doghouse or whatever.

Got a call one day, "hey, man, Lucy's over here, I tried to get her for you, but she's acting all mean"

I went and got her, and sure as shit, she's being just hateful. She's normally sweet, but it's super hot outside, and the yard she was in had a dog and it might have freaked her out. So I take her home, and she hides. Over the next three days whenever she comes out of hiding she alternates between being my sweet little baby Lucy, to being the spawn of an ancient demon bent on the destruction of mankind (and their upholstery). Hissing, scratching, biting... Just weird and crazy.

After about 3 days, I'm sitting in my mom's room and she's laying there in my lap, being so sweet. I'm telling my mom I think we need to take her to the vet because of the mood swings. We're actively calling to make the appointment for her when Lucy walks into the room and starts trying to shred the blankets.

Lucy walked into the room.

Lucy was laying in my lap.

What the actual fuck.

I had straight up kidnapped someone's cat.

So, if Catception is supposed to be a joining of Inception and Cat, wouldn't that, instead, require a cat inside another cat inside of another cat, and etc? I don't see cats inside other cats, here!

One of mine has eye makeup but she hides in the shadows no problem

When you accidentally insert cat.exe into the startup batch file and every morning a new one emerges...

He is ticked at me for being on the computer rather than petting him.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Understandable. How dare you!

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 16 points 18 hours ago

It chose to live all its lives simultaneously.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 71 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I've got a couple grey goobers

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 47 points 1 day ago (2 children)

omg it's literally the "just the two of us" cats

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 32 points 23 hours ago

Aw 😻 my kitties were a little more long and slender when they were babies

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 8 points 21 hours ago

Just looking at them and you already know they are planning something criminal. It sickness me.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I'd take it as a compliment that they chose your porch

Grey cat omen... You're going to have a boring day

[–] blargh513@sh.itjust.works 6 points 19 hours ago

Or you will be thoroughly meowed at for snacks.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 19 hours ago

Only if you live in a horror novel. I can't imagine how scary life would be if I actually believed omens were real.

[–] puppycat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

there used to be more, but i took one home with me. sorry OOP.

[–] DrSoap@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

Such a handsome lil man so cute

[–] Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 104 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Those are such sweet cats, I got one of those boys and he's my little buddy.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 23 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Me too! Mine's a lil monster though.

[–] Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago

ahhh what a cutie patootie!!

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 109 points 1 day ago (3 children)

There are FIVE ~~lights~~ CATS!

[–] virku@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

At least four includes five.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Pretty sure the "at least 4 separate" are carefully chosen words, and it only makes it funnier.

[–] astutemural@midwest.social 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is getting out of hand. Now there are ~~two~~ five of them!

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

seriously. that's almost too many to pet at once

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 53 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They're probably all siblings haha

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 day ago

¡ C L O N E S !

[–] sheepishly@fedia.io 16 points 1 day ago

god I just want to sit in the middle of that crowd of cats and make kissy noises at them and have them occasionally acknowledge me and accept skritchies

[–] LOLseas@sh.itjust.works 8 points 21 hours ago

Now scatter freshly rubbed catnip and let 'em really vibe. Miss my cats vibing on freshly grown catnip. Good times had from all.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 18 points 1 day ago

I was adopted by a grey cat for a while. It was so calm and gentle. Good kitty. c:
Didn't stick around long, sadly.

I fully expect tomorrow's update to include a sixth and possibly seventh cat.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

Its called a standard issue cat! I have one of those! And she's the sweetest little thing.

Edit: I thought a standard issue cat was any cat that you cant distinguish from other cats with similar patterns or colors.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 day ago

I thought that was just the stripy ones

Out grey cat is also very sweet, and incredibly soft.

[–] MohamedMoney@feddit.org 17 points 1 day ago

Wouldn’t that be a tabby?

[–] AnAverageSnoot@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Haha I am pretty sure it's used just for tabbies.

That's specist! /s

Every time I see an orange cat about the same weight as my old orange can it triggers a subconscious why do they have a picture of my cat reflex for a microsecond.

I have a grey cat and so does my friend. Is it common for grey cats to be incredibly docile and chill? Both of these cats have no problem with being picked up and smooched & cuddled & carried around like fluffy widdle beebees.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

Our grey is incredibly docile and chill unless you're prey to her then she will dismember you and bring you inside as an offering to her giant clumsy odd looking cat-friends who obviously are incapable of hunting for themselves.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 23 hours ago

Lucky you, mine chooses violence and chaos constantly. Gotta get her spayed, hoping that helps! She's still young too.

[–] bubblybubbles@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 day ago

Are we in the Catrix???

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My outdoor/semi feral tuxie turned out to be two cats. Similar reaction.
