Dropping truth bombs like it’s #Caturday 💣
@orci you have not met my cat

@orci @nevynh

Dogs would. All day.

@clacksee @orci "when are you coming home? Is it now? You should come home now. Want to go for a walk? You're probably right: we should go for a run. Did you smell that butt? Pretty exciting!
@orci with exception of demands
@andrewmorgan @orci Totally! "Wake up, I'm hungry!", "Have you cleaned my litter tray yet?"
@andrewmorgan @orci "Feed me. I'm starving. I can see the bottom of my kibble bowl."
@orci cats enable read receipts just to leave you on read lol
@orci @[email protected] Ik ben gewoon een kat!!!1!!!! 😬
@orci Corollary: cats can text. They just don't want to.
@orci cats have 32 muscles in their ears just so they can ignore us.
@orci whoever wrote that sign did not know the lengths a cat will go to to tell you they're hungry.
@BigTittyBimbo @orci It may look like a text in response to your text, but believe me, it will be a new text with no relation to previous texts
@orci @thesarahrah i think our cat would you know
@orci Would dogs be texting me ALL THE TIME though...
@orci huge thanks for this.

@orci Idk... that may be true for my older guy, but the younger one would be constantly sending random butt texts all day ❤😅
@orci Cats can text you back.

@orci

me: Hey kitty!
me: Pica.
me: Pica...

two days later

pica: foods
me: Ok!
me:i got you the food did you like it?
me: Pica?
me: Pica please respond.

a day later

pica: a
me: a? Pica i don't know if your text went through.
me: did you like the food.
me: I feel like this is kind of a one way relationship.
me: anyways I'm bringing some food.
me: did you like it?
me: kitty please...

a week later

pica: pet me
me: OMG

@futurebird @orci @kitoconnell y'all are doing cats wrong. don't ever feed them, that's SEP (s'body else's problem). pet them when they come to you and you're in the mood, but don't ever call them or chase after them. let them sleep in your bed.

trust me, there's nothing quite like a cat that's madly in love with you. hope you like half-dead mice.

@orci the would say pspspspspsps
@orci Unless it suits the cat's purpose 😉.

@orci they would text you back the next day, upset that you hadn't sent a follow-up text.

Also, you'd have text exchanges at 3 a.m. that were like:

"WHATCHU DOIN"

"Trying to sleep"

"R U AWAKE"

"I am now what's going on"

"OK"

"Do you need me?"

[no response]

@sotsogm This is TOTALLY what it would be 😆

@orci, @G_y_tri

There are suggestions that cats actually know their name, but often don't respond when it's spoken... because they don't care...

Yes, Cats Probably Know Their Names

I said, get off that counter, Mr. Sprinkles!

@bodhidave sounds about right! 😂
@orci They would ghost you 🤣
@orci They most definitely would begin to text you, walk away, look here, look there, come back, proceed texting, stare at the door as if suddenly a ghost appeared there, look back at the phone, never push "send" and then take a nap.
@orci I’m pretty sure mine would just send gifs:
@orci Two hours later: bowl is empty
@orci the real schrodinger's cat: they won't text you whether they can or not so you can't prove they can't
@orci ...until they want food or the litter box cleaned.
@orci If cats could text, they'd block us.
@orci Where is this? I saw this on the Richmond Animal Hospital TOO. wondering if there is some kind of Animal Hospital sign syndicate.
@orci Mine will definitely do it. Mew mew.
@orci it is True until they discover the message to type to get:
- food
- warmth
@orci this is why I don’t have a cat also because they drink me but we don’t talk about that
