Rescue Tuxedo Kitty’s First Thanksgiving

Meet Lily the Tuxedo. She was an itty bitty kitty when she was rescued. This is her first Thanksgiving at her forever home.

“She was the runt of the litter, abandoned by her mama, and taken in by my cousin. She now has a big brother, Puck.” - Gillian L. wrote on her Flickr.

i cringe when i see cultural appropriation because i brace myself for the worst.

taking a native american chief headdress and putting it on a rando character IS cultural appropriation because it erases the meaning and hard work behind the object.

wearing a kimono or listening to a historically african american genre of music and dancing to it are NOT CULTURAL APPROPRIATION

alone, they do NOT erase the meaning behind it, but if u be yelling to god about how much you love african american spirituals and then say we should honor the confederates for defending slavery then i’m ready to whoop your ass.

it’s not cultural appropriation; it’s cultural diffusion. america’s a great place for cultures to spread to different demographics and dampen or erase the boundaries between the groups - why are so many “”liberals””” so keen on making sure groups DONT mix? that groups DONT have more common traits? that groups DONT have better means of understanding each other???? NOT ALLOWING WHITE PEOPLE TO WEAR KIMONOS AND DANCE HOW THEY WANT IS RACIST. THAT IS FUCKING RACIST, AND IF YOU DO THAT YOU ARE RACIST.

it is not impossible to be racist to white people - ask an eastern asian or any white person who’s been in east asia. other people can be racist to whites but i’m most familiar with eastern asian culture.

bonus: y’all ever think about if everyone thought like that - not wanting elements of culture to be shared - then religions would be very very dead. religion is core to some cultures, and many outsiders of those cultures will adopt those religions, preserving the values and faith behind them. that’s cultural diffusion, not “””cultural appropriation”””

feel free to respond i’m ready and we’ll do a digital verbal d-d-d-d-d-d-duel.

Men are using a powerful hashtag to fight back against emotional abuse

Rolling and exposing belly- attacks you when touched Does not mean: Give belly rubs! - haha I tricked you!  Actually means: I’m playful! If you reach for my belly I’ll grab your arm and bite it because I think we’re playfighting! 

Lazily exposing belly - still attacks when touched Does not mean: tricked you again! Actually means: I’m showing you my belly because I trust you. Please don’t break that trust by invading my personal space. I might accept a belly rub if I’m not ticklish and I know you well. Snapping at you while being pet Does not mean: I suddenly decided I dislike you! Actually means: You’re petting me in a way that gives me too much restless energy. Please focus on petting my head and shoulders instead of stroking the full length of my back next time.

Staring and blinking slowly Does not mean: I’m smug and think I am smarter than you. Actually means: I like you! But I don’t need to get up in your face to show it.  I can just sit over here and blow kisses at you to show you I am glad you are around!

Yes, the legends are true. Cats headbutt you to show their trust and affection. They also do it to show “hey look I see you as family.” Lions do it with members of their pride to say the same. It’s not just because they want food.

Cats nibbling is indeed literally cats grooming you. It’s what mom cats do to their kittens. If a cat is gently biting and/or licking you, they’re now your mom.

Meowing can simply be for the mere fact they want to say hello, want to play or be pet. Again, not just for food.

They barely meow at other cats (except for kittens, they meow at mom cat), mostly just humans. There are exceptions but overall, meowing is almost always for us.

Cats squinting/slow blinking is indeed basically the equivalent of us smiling and/or kissing.

Cats, like humans, prefer to get things without having to work for it- which isn’t very common within other animals.

Cat massages or making biscuits is because they happy! Kneading is another way of saying “hey I like this moment here I enjoy you and my life.”

Cats recognize us by smell, sound, taste, and touch. They recognize us after years as their long term memory is extremely good. This is why abused or neglected cats are so easily scared or hard to connect with. If your scent changes over the years or just in the day, your voice will them it’s really you. Also, they will only remember you if you had impact on their life. If you just existed in the same house, they obviously won’t care.

And yes, they know our patterns in the day. You notice it when it’s beneficial to them (feeding time!). They will often wait for you to come home as well.

To remember: cats think we are interesting as hell. They watch us do everything because we’re fascinating!!!

So, now we’re well into the season of spooky, I thought I’d introduce all of you to some halloween perfect creatures.

Introducing the Lykoi: 

otherwise known as the werewolf cat

a relatively new breed that i’m frankly appalled havent appeared much, if at all on this site. It’s almost halloween and no one’s posted a cute little werewolf cat? Lykoi erasure!

They don’t even look real! They’re perfect little creatures and you lot need to start talking about them. Vampires vs werewolves? What about witch’s cats vs Lykois? or not even versus! Cat friends in a magical world!

And look at their little lion babies!
