    Hello, human. You may be wondering why I am suddenly very tall. The answer, as it happens, is quite simple you see

    How terrifying would that be though. A housecat bigger than you. These adorable fuckers torture their pray for fun. There’s absolutely fuckall you can do if a 6 foot cat attacks you, assuming they have the same hunting abilities of their regular counterparts. Their reflexes are faster than snakes. They can rehydrate from drinking blood. Get anywhere within armsreach of them, and they’ll shred you faster than Dorothy from HR can shred a stack of employee complaints.

      My cat punched me on the face at 4:45 this morning until I woke up. Then he walked away; he didn’t want anything. He just appointed himself alarm clock.

      Definitely don’t want a larger version.

      In 2004 I had a cat. My cat was one of those cats who lives exclusively for food. She would happily lay in the lap of Hitler, if Hitler had some food for her. So first thing, I always feed the cats. Then I can go sit down on the couch, and wake up in peace.

      One day we went through that routine. I put the food in their bowls, set it down, and then go sit down. As I go sit on the couch, IMMEDIATELY after sitting down, I mean my butt wasn’t even fully rested on the couch cushion yet, my food loving cat pokes her head around the corner, and lets out a cry. The other cat was in the background, just looking at me like “Yeah, maybe you should come see this…”

      I walk in, and see a mouse in their food bowl, just gobbling it up. I look at my cats, and I’m like “You guys know you’re cats, right? That’s a mouse. You ever see Tom and Jerry? C’mon. Get to work.”

      And they just stared at me. Probably on account of the fact that they don’t know English, or American pop culture from the 1950s. So they just sat there, watching the mouse eat their food.

      So I got an oven mitt, and a leather glove. I picked up the whole food dish, walked it outside, walked across the street, and dumped the mouse down a sewer.

      Then I came back inside, with their food bowl, and my cats were just staring at me like “Food?”

      And I said “I don’t know why you’re looking at me! You’re always begging for more food. That was free protein right there.”

      To which she responded “Meow?”

      Eventually I had to clean their dish out, and get ANOTHER can of cat food ready for them.

      So really it depends on your cat how much of a threat they’d be. My mom had an outdoor cat in the early 90s. Very loving to my mom, and the guy she was dating. I didn’t live there, so the cat didn’t afford me the same love. But that cat knew how to hunt. I wouldn’t have been surprised to learn it somehow took down a gazelle.

      So it all just depends. Is your cat a hunter…or a pussy?

        I think the real takeaway here is that they view you as their slave. You’re in good company, I gotta admit.

          This is why I don’t think you’d see a lot of real life furries in the food industry, full body hairnet or maybe stuck working at furry owned businesses

            Well, and the fact that (personal feelings) it’s hard knowing that you are killing animals for food, even if they are very tasty. Hair can be handled, crying yourself to sleep every night does things to you.

            Though ‘furry owned and operated’ business, hell yeah. But why is it only in the IT and Artistic categories… 🤔

      Same thing with birds. Those sweet little song birds, little and cute. Until you imagine yourself the size of their prey. They’re freaking velociraptors.

        I think velociraptor definitely conjures the correct imagery here. However, it’s always bothered me that, in reality, velociraptors are small compared to Humans. Jurassic Park/World based their velociraptors on deinonychus. But, going by size, the “Velociraptors” you see in those movies are much closer to “Utahraptors”.
