I am cats. Ask me Nothing

maybe it’s better that he doesn’t have the tag, I don’t wanna see it.

He should have his own tag

I've got some bad news for you, friend.

I was hoping this thread was active because Cats was posting more Cats stuff. It is terrible to see a good person leave and for those reasons.

This sucks. Attaching my orange bastard for solidarity.

You could tell he had a really unique creative capacity, despite his cat edits and stuff being silly/shitposty.

His posts felt like when I was first getting on the internet as a wee teenager.

It kills me that, according to his friend, he likely died of despair. An accident would be one thing, but I hate the idea that such a joyous person was hurting so much inside.

I assume we are all hurting inside.

Would we have found our ways here if we weren't in absolute despair?

A story is told that in 2025 a man goes to visit a doctor who is acclaimed for his ability to treat melancholia. "I can’t eat, I can’t sleep," says the man. "I feel constantly miserable. Please help me, doctor."

"Laughter is the best medicine, my friend," says the doctor. "Take yourself off to Kiwi Farms where you will find Cats performing funny cat pictures and shitposting. It is exquisitely funny and will cure you of all your ills without any pills or potions from my cabinet."

The man looks at the doctor for a moment. "Ah," he says. "That won’t help."

"Why not, sir?"

The man shrugs. "I am Cats."

i don't know what it's worth now but i hope cats and anyone that was close to him knew he was the brightest beacon of light in this dark, autistic retard hellhole.

I think he must have. We literally told him that a million times. Internet updoots is thin gruel, but he may not have known how much he’d be missed.

I hope I’m not bothersome to anybody if I say I wonder if he ever expressed any religious beliefs. It’d comfort me if I knew he had some belief in the afterlife or connection to God.

Something wrong
I shake my head
Cats is gone
My fav poster dead

nothing here on the farms has ever broken my heart like this dude. i cried like a bitch over the news.

Still tore up about this. His posts reminded me that the internet is for fun, he inspired me to lighten up and not post so angrily. Here's a silly picture of my cat.

Spoiler: Voom

So did I. I told my folks and they understood. Sometimes they surprise me, but they did come from an era where pen pals were a thing, so the idea of being attached to someone through correspondence makes sense.

I'm not scared of it, not really. Sure the concept of not existing can seem kind of spooky but I've already been there for an eternity before I was born, and it wasn't so bad.

I sometimes wish I had the ability or capacity to believe in a religion. Having such a well defined and comforting system as that must be really nice for someone who actually does truly believe it! I would only wish for the afterlife to be able to see the people and animals I love again who have died. If I believed that someday I would, maybe that would help ease some of the pain that I do experience from being almost completely sure that I won't. Unfortunately I just can't accept that it is true because it is not provable. I do hope that my deceased loved ones are at least somewhere where there is no pain for them.

I feel like I have lived enough for ten lives in my short amount of time living. It has been a wild ride and I am satisfied with how it turned out! If I died tomorrow I would be at least somewhat fulfilled.

For approximately 14 billion years, give or take, you did not exist. You don't remember what things were like before you were born. Time didn't seem to pass because, for you, it actually didn't...you could potentially have even been in a state of nonexistence for orders of magnitude longer than our current estimation of the age of our universe, and yet more still, and so on and so on, down through the entangled lattices of just as many billions of other unknown variables. However, regardless of all of this, your "experience of nonexistence" would remain the exact same: one day you were just here. And, eventually, you will return to this same state of nonexistence. But you've been there before. There is nothing to fear.

He left on his own terms even if everyone wished he didn't.

Another cherished posting, this time on @oramge cat's profile:

Made a little something

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

I just checked and it’s still there. I’m a little bit sore that tptb won’t acknowledge it but maybe it’s better that he doesn’t have the tag, I don’t wanna see it.

If he has really, verifiably croaked he needs the tag for the sense of finality. For the same reason we don't want people talking to fake AI or taxidermying pets. If it softens it the tag could use a euphemism, one that would have pleased him.

I refuse to accept that he did not believe he had eight more lives left.

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

I was in Dallas just a day before he passed. I could have met him in person if we'd been close. Which we weren't, I don't have any reason to think my posts stood out to Cats near as much as his did to me. But there's something in that that just feels wretched.

Imagine a beautiful soul being a Texas prison guard. And he had a cat for a heart. Actually he had a DOZEN cats for a heart. HIS ENTIRE BODY WAS JUST NOTHING BUT CATS.

This world blows.

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

Because the obituary and notes don't mention any sort of accident or crime and seem purposefully vague which from my experience is how they tend to handle suicides, and he had been dealing with extreme depression for most of the almost 20 years I knew him up to and including wishing he was dead on more than one occasion.

Do you know what it was that ate him up? Like, did he have a bad life? Or just one of those cases of a mood problem that doesn't have a reason?


Anyways, this is probably dumb and in bad taste, but I mean it sincerely:
