Legit, I run nice and warm too and have cats on me every night and I’m here for it

My posse- Coda, Treble, Yodel ❤️❤️❤️

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yes, but why do they always choose the spot between the legs? Can they not just once in a while? 😪

[–] islandcoda42@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

Easy with the claws!!

Skill issue

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 46 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It’s been brought to my attention this meme is likely AI. I’m going to leave it up to the mods to remove it because I don’t want to delete the entertaining comments section. But goddamn, I feel like AI is ruining everything, even fucking shitposts.

[–] bumbling_bee@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

The comments are gold 😂

Tax the rich, he’s clearly hoarding the wealth and it needs to be redistributed

What’s stopping you from getting a fourth cat?

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 39 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What would stop the fourth cat from also laying on the husband? That would really throw off the ratio!

[–] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Then you get a fifth ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

You know how this will end up. Hundreds of cats on the husband.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 38 points 2 weeks ago
[–] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 20 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

At some point the husband will be full. Somewhere around cat #23. So the 24th should work.

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

It's cats all the way down.

His greed sickens me

[–] DrPop@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The husband could have been there for hours. You don't start with cats laying on you, usually. He created an environment the cats wanted to be. I have a two cats that sleep with me and 2 that sleep worth my wife. The one that regularly sleeps with me can be k8cked pushed whatever and she will stay. I have a boy though, where if you so much as scratch an itch he's gone. He might come back 5 minutes later but the second tou budge he's gone again. One comes for affection but any sudden movements and she's gone for good. The last you can lay on him do whatever and he doesn't care. Where was i going with this. I like talking about my cats.

[–] blargh513@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

I want you to tell me more about your cats.

[–] Curious_Canid@piefed.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago

Body heat is important, but I also have advanced certificates as "Cat Furniture" from three different cats.

[–] JohnSmith@feddit.uk 13 points 2 weeks ago

He is clearly allergic to cats. Cats can’t resist allergic people. Source self.

[–] collectif_imaginaire@piefed.social 11 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

Is it me or it kinda looks like AI

Maybe used to upgrade the pic quality but zoomed in it gets suspiciously weird

[–] ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 weeks ago

The beer can and the image on the mug look especially "melty." And his arm looks super smooth. And he has a wedding ring on both hands. And his leg starts out looking more or less like a leg but on the left end it looks more like a pillow.

I'm fairly confident it's AI.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Dang it, is it really? Are all memes AI now? This is some bullshit.

[–] osbo9991@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

For what it's worth, lots of phones these days are pretty aggressive with automatic post processing of photos, so the photo could be real (ie not AI generated or edited intentionally with AI) assuming the phone has a lower quality camera sensor with bad detail.

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

I’m guessing yeah. The words on the can and the Hitler mug are off.

[–] 9488fcea02a9@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

This community should be for actual real pics of community cats

Allowing these people reposting shit off reddit and grandma's facebook is just asking for AI bullshit to flood the community

I propose we have only original content (OC) here

This is how you invariably feel when you dare question the cat distribution system

[–] SaraTonin@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

OTOH, it does mean that OP can get up. Their husband cannot, for it is the law that you cannot get up if you’re being sat on

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Lay on top of your husband and the cats. Cat sandwich.

After all these years I've cracked the boyfriend cat magnet formula. Now I just need to figure out how to capitalize

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Step 3:…..

Step 4: PROFIT

[–] lemonbun@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

my theory is that hot hot BODY HEAT

[–] lyralycan@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

My partner and I visited a cat café and a group must've had catnip or smth but they had around 7 cats at their seating area at one point

We felt a little better when one of the cats on a high perch started sneezing and snotted over several of the people lol

[–] Baguette@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 weeks ago

His greed sickens me

[–] Bamboodpanda@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I'm currently browsing with a kitten asleep across my neck. Nothing better in the world.

[–] theolodis@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago

All you need is more cats, it'll trickle down at some point (and in case of cats it really moght due to lack of space).

[–] BambiDiego@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe you should look inward and judge your own choice to be less catnapable.

Make your body squishier, run hotter, tie sizzle rope around your legs, spread catnip under you fingernails.

Destroy the husband at this game of cat love.

[–] Illogicalbit@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Or just

Destroy the husband

/s

The other suggestions are better.

[–] c64z86@piefed.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I'm a simple person: I see cats and I upvote.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Does hubby run hotter than you body temp wise? Or maybe he's wearing tuna fish cologne?

In my house, if both the pets (1 dog, 1 cat) choose you, then you're "The Disney Princess." It was some inside joke about all the animals coming to help Cinderella.

I'm sorry, he's the princess now. Rules are rules.

[–] Iusedtobeanalien@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

He is on their couch

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

An even ratio requires each of them to have 1.5 cats on them, which is IMO not a very convenient division.

[–] SouthEndSunset@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Is it just me or are they all staring at you like they’re challenging you to do something about it?

Have you even tried radiating excess body heat? Geez...

[–] TheStaffmaster@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

it should be illegal based solely on the added heat. How much does this guy pay for AC?
