I just wanted to post the video of the ground bats. I was too lazy to do it in my first post. You inspired me to go find it. I did actually know the German for bat but I'll admit the joke flew over my head.

Also, more name autism. Bats aren't related to rodents at all and are actually in the order Chiroptera which means 'hand wing' in Latin and if you look at the wing structure of a bat it's actually a big hand with long fingers and a membrane stretched between them.

Now I feel bad for hijacking the cat fact thread with bat stuff so here's a gif of a cat catching a bat out of mid air

 

[Dr. Henry Armitage]

In my experience this is how it goes. Every cat I've ever had was abandoned, usually on the dirt road where local scumbags like to dump unwanted animals so I took them home. while my siblings and parents buy pure breed dogs that cost thousands of dollars. Fun story I've found three goats, a chicken, and god only knows how many dogs and cats on that road over the years. I take most of them to the humane society. I still have the goats, 3 cats, and a chicken.

 

[NoReturn]

The Manx (or Manks) breed have a mutation that shortens their tail.

Manx's have no tail because they were the last animals on the ark and got it caught in the door.
Also tabbies have an M on their head for "Mary" because a tabby kept baby Jesus warm in the manger and she kissed in on the head to say thank you.

Fun Fact:

Ceiling cat is watching you...

Yeah the cats I got were from a pregnant stray, I kept her around for as long as possible then she looked pregnant again so I relocated her to a house under construction next to a river, plenty of homeless folk, police station, and dog food outside as far as the eye can see. She kinda sucks at being a mom and dropped one off a retaining wall breaking its leg, another died from exposure venturing out the insulated box made for them.

The short of it is that cats are retarded.

That is the best kitty. Killing mice and birds at the same time.

Edit: BTW, in theme with autistic mental associations, the Aztec word for turtle translates, accurately, to "turtle rabbit."

 

[orangecat]

The cat in my profile was the last available one in his litter because no one wanted him, all due to him screeching whenever someone picked him up. He is a very sweet, clingy boy who continues to screech to this day. (Also, I bet he could catch a bat in midair if the opportunity presented itself.)

[CallmeCicada]

Every year, 15 purcent of all cats are responsible for 50 percent of all arsons in the US.

 

[SofondaCox]

Studies suggest a link between exposure to cats during childhood and an increased risk of schizophrenia-related disorders.
The hypothesis is that it may have something to do with the toxoplasmosis parasite, which is commonly spread to people via exposure to cat feces (and is why pregnant women aren't supposed to clean litter boxes).

Shut up with the antifeline propaganda, DOG.

Strange and interesting fact: my cat is the cutest and bestest cat

Only because you haven't met mine. There is no superior entity.

Cats don't just bring you dead animals as a present, they're also trying to teach you how to hunt your own mice. I also read that if your cat sleeps at the foot of your bed, it wants to protect you.

My cat brings me voles, primarily. She thinks I'm too retarded to feed myself. She watches me eating broccoli with a palpable expression of disgust and pity. Found her in the garage of a hoarders house when she was teeeeny tiny.

She hates every living thing but me.

My theory is that cats drop animal parts at the doorstep because it's polite cat culture to share (but many of them are too selfish to give you the good parts).

Case in point, when my family lived in the country, our cats would drop off only squirrel tails (basically no meat on them) and moles (apparently they taste gross). Our cats selflessly decided to gift us only the parts of the meal they didn't want. You have to respect such incredible generosity.

 

[Peaches the Wonder Cat]

The gene that makes cats ginger also makes them retarded.

 

[clara red bottoms]

The fattest cat ever weighed 46 pounds and was from Australia.
This is a different, also fat cat

It puts a whole new spin on the old tortoise and the hare story.

 

[Catetive]

Black-footed cats are the smallest wildcats in Africa. They are the world's deadliest cat, successfully hunting their prey 60% of the time. They're also adorable and I want to pet the murder kitty.

 

[DankSmoker]

The gene that makes cats ginger also makes them retarded.

It also seems to make them fat, I was just joking around with the vet when he was getting neutered saying he would become a Garfield and they were adamant about that not being the case but the other two are normal while he's an adorable tub of shit now.

 

[Cheesy Beavy]

the cheetah is the fastest land animal. The lion has kills stolen from it by the hyena. Don't fuck with any wild cats.
