No. He didn't steal. He is a mighty hunter. Yes he is. Yes he is! He hunted down the mighty sausage beast, stalked it, and killed it all on his own. Yes he did! Yes he did! And he did murder while being so adorable! Yes he is. Yes he is!

That's a helluva tale for a neighbor that likely just gave him one

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 32 points 3 days ago (1 children)

All cats believe in their hearts that they are mighty lions and tigers. Let them have this. :D

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean, to any creature that weighs 3 pounds or less, he's right. If you're a field mouse a house cat is a terrifyingly effective predator.

More tuna are eaten by house cats than lions.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, according to my cats, they get the tuna because they killed the tuna. They are the mighty hunters after all.

My cat just finds the nearest big idiot to yell at. That's usually me.

Honestly, if a cat was super interested in one of my bratwurst, I'd give them a present lol probably one I'd let cool for some time too, so it's not too hot for them.

I have a feeling this kitty made some friends, but wouldn't put it past them to snag it haha. My mom's cat used to take all the dog toys in the neighborhood and everyone knew just to come to the door to ask for them back lol

Edit: "if" not "of"

I’d probably cut it in half or something. That’s one bigass meal.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Also probably way more salt than a cat should really have, sausages are (usually) loaded with the stuff to not, y'know, kill you with bacteria.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 days ago

and taste good, we need a whole lot more salt than cats do since we're so much bigger and sweat a bunch.

For some reason, I'm reading this in John Oliver's voice.

"Quick, let me in, they're right on my tail!"

[–] Aimeeloulm@feddit.uk 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

You almost had me believing this unti I remembered he had a sausage in his mouth, so how could he talk :o/

[–] PrimeMinisterKeyes@leminal.space 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The Garfield way, of course.

[–] AceBonobo@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Assuming direct control of Jon

Garfield Minus Garfield is the best Garfield. CMM.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i'm very confused what the slash under the emote means, is it dabbing?

[–] btr_fan87@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Maybe the o is a nose and the slash is the mouth? Like how ":-)" uses three characters.

Hmm, not a single “no outdoor cats” comment in this whole thread (yet.)

Greatest day of his life. He will remember this forever.

Yeah, no need to censor the word "asshole".

Calamari ass rings chef’s kiss

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

You know the chef is sending a message when your calamari includes the hunting hooks. 😵‍💫

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

A small cross section of a tube steak, obviously

That's what I said, but with more furor.

Abe Froman? The sausage king of Chicago?

[–] renamon_silver@lemmy.wtf 10 points 3 days ago (2 children)
[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 days ago

There's no collar on the cat, that's very likely.

In other word oop have good neighbour.

Now you just gotta teach him/her to team up with the local corvids. 🤌🏼

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

As a kid I had the genius idea of training magpies to steal stuff and bring it to me thinking it was the perfect crime; can't arrest a bird and the bird is who stole. But then I learned that is actually still illegal. 😔

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

Illegal =/= enforceable, FWIW.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

peak cat. Mine brings yukky mangled mice and birds.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago

Well if you would just demonstrate that you know how to catch and kill your own, she could relax about trying to teach you.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago

You should send them to school with the orcas.

Then there's me like: Oh a cat. Here Kitty Kitty. You want a sausage? And there he goes. He's probably afraid of humans.

[–] ErrorCode@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Good kitty!

[–] floo@retrolemmy.com 6 points 3 days ago

Good kitty!

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

it's polite to bring something to a potluck

[–] kikutwo@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

How was it?

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

So? How was it?

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 3 days ago

They also bring the carbon and salt(?)!
