It would definitely work. I had my experience bonding with a lifetime cat that I got when she was a baby. Any other time I would adopt a cat I would get an older cat with older and sassy or grumpy cats being more likely for me.

I adopted my cat because he was born angry. He wasn't even fully weaned before he began attacking his own mother.

He loves his people as long as they don't dare smell like a different cat. He just hates cats!

A follower of khorne is a good pet to have

Cats are Khornes sacred animal, this is why they have nine lives its one plus eight. The hounds of Khorne must earn their place, but cats simply take theirs.

I’m sure there was a reason every time. Not that a cat needs a reason, however.

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"I felt like it." Is all the reason the cat needs.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

It’s justified even if they didn’t really feel like it.

He is being held captive, he has reasons enough to smack anything that moves.

Day1: Heh, this kitty is badass. I'm gonna name her Spart-
Day1.1: Argh, holy fuck. Shit scratched my eyeballs. Man fuck you! Seriously, why
Day2: Hi there I would like to return one black-eyed cat.

that is the face of a criminal

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Stealing hearts and breaking them.

and then bapping them in the face afterwards, truly the most heinous of criminals.

I was able to find a story about this little stinker.

[–] flerp@lemm.ee 33 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Sent to a shelter when his owner became homeless. That's the thing that scares me the most for my cat. She's so sensitive and scared of everything except for me it would break her little heart.

Stay safe. There are resources available, and if you are at risk, you should know how to be safe.

And she might also eat your face while having that 'broken heart'.

Filled with self advocacy, more like

Shelter cats have limited avenues for expressing their disagreements, and it sounds like he's being as measured and puncture-free in voicing his opinion as he feels like he needs to be

The reasons were many and verified.

All deserved

"Come closer Clarice"

meanwhile the cat in the next cell is preparing a "surprise"

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 13 points 2 months ago

There’s always a reason

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

They have this for every cat then, right?
