"You up?"
4th century, BC
@RustyBertrand Literally my cat every single night

@RustyBertrand
My cat gives his pawprint of approval.

Two mornings ago, the fuzzy bastidge woke me up by sneezing while in just this position. I passed from full sleep to bolt upright in one second and I was at a sink before I knew I was moving.

@RustyBertrand For millennia dogs have had owners and cats have had staff.
@RustyBertrand and this is why the cats are put away in the laundry each night
@seldear @RustyBertrand Very much hoping your laundry has access to outdoors. We put our cat, Jasper, out. The one night I let him sleep in (when the family were all away) I didnโ€™t get any sleep. ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ
@RustyBertrand @seldear
Once you stop reacting on these actions, they will quit them very quickly.
@RustyBertrand Evolution is a myth. Cats haven't changed one iota!

@RustyBertrand Not only 4th Century, BC....

4 a.m., this morning.

@RustyBertrand Back in my day we didn't post cat memes on the Internet. We CARVED them. In STONE. In a BLIZZARD. Uphill BOTH WAYS.
I Remember You

@djfiander @RustyBertrand @maryrobinette Aha, I thought it looked way too contemporary...

@djfiander @RustyBertrand @maryrobinette Wow, cool that you know it, thanks ๐Ÿคฉ

I actually needed this to realize the original part was a joke ๐Ÿคฆ

@RustyBertrand After the pandemic, 2011 does seem like it was 4th Century BC.

@RustyBertrand I think it's this art piece from 2010: https://saraswink.com/artwork/2356408-I%20Remember%20You.html

4th C BCE cats would act identically though!

@RustyBertrand my cat was doing this this morning.
@RustyBertrand yup. Nothingโ€™s changed. My Lacie does that at 5:30 in the morning. And she is HEAVY.
@RustyBertrand still relevant today, at least in my house
@RustyBertrand That's funny! Where is this from?
@RustyBertrand I really like this. It's actually quite new, by Sara Swink, but sadly no longer for sale! https://saraswink.com/artwork/2356408-I-Remember-You.html

@RustyBertrand OMG that is timeless ๐Ÿ˜‚
