Where's the source file? I'm adding this to my 3d low poly game

I thought you were going to 3d print this

I'm going to convert a bulldozer into this so I can crash it into statues that I don't like

How do you improve this? Easy. You improve it the same way you improve the Sistine Chapel, There Will Come Soft Rains or Nick Offerman's moustache: you leave it the fuck alone.

It’s perfect

[–] eierschaukeln@kbin.earth 26 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

There's nothing funny about this. And yet I'm laughing at it a lot. Like, there isn't a constructed joke here. The headless but not faceless cat shaped object is ridiculous. But it was already ridiculous in the original post. I need to analyze this with a team of scientists.

have you tried carving your cat out of cat instead of wood?

You don't. This is perfection

Wanna know what it feels like to lose a loved one to an addiction to hard drugs? Get your cat some ~~Temptations~~ Dreamies!

No but really. Fuck these things.

Cat gets in the cabinet and chews through the bad

These cat treats are essentially little nuggets of animal digest which, while not necessarily unhealthy in moderate quantities, are clearly addictive to a lot of cats. A web search for "my cat is addicted to Temptations" will show that my experience was not unique.

My parents give their cats Temptations. While I was living with them, they would give them to my cat too. My cat, who had previously had a pretty normal attraction to food, became transfixed on the pantry where he knew the Temptations were stored. He was no longer interested in my company, and only sought me out so he could lure me to the kitchen where he would sit and stare at that closed pantry door. When I opened it, he'd start yowling and fighting to get inside. Sometimes he would even attack my leg if I tried leaving the kitchen without giving him a Temptation. It was shocking and upsetting to see my sweet, gentle little cat acting this way. I'd known this cat for 5 or so years at this point, and it completely changed his personality. He just didn't give a shit about anything but his next Temptation.

I established new rules for cat treats. They are not to be stored in open containers, they are not to be stored at cat height, and they are not to be fed to my cat. Ever. After a few weeks, his temperament returned to normal, but a mild fixation on that bottom shelf of the pantry lingered for much longer.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 27 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I worked at a pet store back in college and this old lady would sometimes come in and load 2 carts top to bottom with temptations. She said it was the only "food" her cat would eat. I tried to tell her it wasn't food, but no luck.

I wonder if her situation started in a similar way to your story.

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 8 points 14 hours ago

I feel bad for that cat. I also knew someone who bragged about having their cat declawed.

[–] SGforce@lemmy.ca 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Friend's cat got fatty liver disease from them. Cat knew to bug each person living there one after the other for an infinite supply.

[–] hazl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 14 hours ago

Tragic, and so reminiscent of addict behaviour in humans. Always with the "one last hit".

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

The fuck? Is this a real story? My husband tosses the cats 2-3 of those when he gets up, they still eat normally and never ask me for them. And one of them is a motherfucker who will try to steal the salmon or chicken if we cook either of those, and the other will tear into the dog food bag if we don't decant it into a stronger container. They do request catnip at teatime if I'm home. The cabinet door doesn't even close all the way, they really and truly don't care, they leave it alone. I've never had a cat react that way to those treats.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago

my own cat hardly cares about them, she won't even eat it half of the time
my dads cat however is 100% like the cat in the message above. He's very sweet but is hella addicted. He won't attack however, just meow forever.

we trained him to do tricks though so its a fair tradeoff. No plans to get him off then, just don't give into his meows bc then he'll only meow more

[–] Juice@midwest.social 2 points 11 hours ago

Every kitty's body is different, probably

[–] hazl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 9 hours ago

True story, but only one of the three cats in that house went full crackhead over them. I guess some cats are more vulnerable to addiction than others.

[–] Goodman@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 12 hours ago

Thanks for taking the time to respond, but that sounds genuinely aweful. I've had these treats for my cat as well, but I didn't realize that they could be that addictive.

Search engines don't find any of the snippets I checked, are you sure it is? Looks unique to me.

Slap a fur shader on it and ship it!

Which just makes this model all the more impressive.

Give the cat a head?

As some sort of avant garde art piece? It's fine. Ugly but fine.
