Something came in the mail today. I can only draw one conclusion.
Don't let them shop online unsupervised. That's all I'm saying.
@futurebird Hmm, so I shouldn't have given my cat it's own creditcard? 

@wmd

Well it's hard to resist all the begging I get it.

@futurebird

It's dangerous to go alone, take this.

@russelsteapot42

Honestly I think it's just... dangerous.

@futurebird You gotta do what you gotta do, sometimes.
@Are0h Stay ready and you won’t need to get ready.
@futurebird
It's time is come at last ..
I regret to inform you, your only chance at survival is the expensive cat food, and lots of it.
@futurebird okay but did your cats keep the receipt because i too want a teeny knife

@Sylvhem

So what I want to know is why is there a discord emoji of a cat with a knife???

Is this a known thing? Little cats wanting comparably little sharp knives???

@futurebird How would they take over the world if they weren’t armed ?
@futurebird @Sylvhem i think it was a meme at some point that cats are plotting to kill us all.
@futurebird @Sylvhem the oatmeal might have been the source, but i'm not sure. https://theoatmeal.com/comics/cat_kill

@futurebird @Sylvhem

I don't know who came up with it or why, but I do use it when I'm feeling stabby.

@futurebird @Sylvhem a similar emoji is on fedi, too 

@futurebird @Sylvhem I do not know if this emoji is influenced by something that happened... but there is a story about a cat, who specialized in throwing knives!

β€œSERGEI THE CAT JUST THREW A KNIFE AT ME”

@futurebird so when a human orders a knife it’s β€œfor practical purposes”, but when cats order one it’s β€œsuspicious” and they say β€œcats don’t need knives”

#doublestandards

@futurebird
Humans keep stealing the perfectly good knives that cats grow for themselves, so it's only fair.
@futurebird Maybe he's prepping for a fight with that Troll in Cat's Eye?
@futurebird is he trying out for the stage version of Puss in Boots?

@futurebird

But-- it's so adorable!

And so is the cutlery.   Did one of the Daves send it?

@futurebird How many ants would it take to heft that thing?
@futurebird condolences

@Farah

This isn't even her only knife. πŸ˜”

I've failed to raise her right. She has turned to a life of crime.

@futurebird lmao
I blame those eyes… how can anyone say no to those eyes?? 😍
@futurebird No more wondering how the cat was going to eat your face after you died.
@futurebird
A mere 2% increase of the number of sharp pointy items at Picas disposal hardly covers inflation
@futurebird "I waz gonna chop vegetables for you." 😏
@futurebird It's cutest little Omerta-ish reminder.
@futurebird It's an Itty Bitty Bowie!
@futurebird if I gave this to my cat, she would definitely use it to get my attention. She already pricks my leg when I’m not giving her appropriate attention
@futurebird Pica the Sushi chef πŸ‘©β€πŸ³
@futurebird "Oh, good, it came. Just put it aside for me, would you? I'm working on growing thumbs."
@futurebird
...
Your catnup are belong to us!
All paws on deck, catlasses out, abordage!
@futurebird Have you seen the movie Cats Eyes?

@futurebird

New movie idea: Planet of the Cats

Just like planet of the apes but with cats.

Hollywood would eat it up!

@futurebird the only thing I could think of was the tiny troll that had a knife like that and fought a Cat (and lost) in Stephen King’s Cat’s Eye movie. 🀣
@futurebird
The mice. It's about the mice.
@futurebird @kaybee335 signs your cat may be adventuring.
@futurebird but that face πŸ‘€πŸ€” sus
@futurebird once you take it out of its sheath you can’t put it back until it has tasted the blood of an enemy.
