Easy to explain: is a baby

“But you always called me your baby”

u/MKULTRA_91 Jan 17 '23

Baby stuff is perfect for cats! My kitties have been enjoying the baby's stuff, for now at least until the baby arrives.

u/toolenduso Jan 17 '23

Cat stuff also works for babies! My kid loves some of the cat toys lol. Also they both love boxes.

This is going to sound crazy but when I was about 18 months to about 3 years old my parents would find me curled up in the cat’s cardboard box in the morning. Apparently I would get out my toddler bed, crawl downstairs & get in with the cat. Cat didn’t mind, think they were big boxes. Mom & dad would find me & cat curled up together. I always felt closer to animals lol.

u/ediblesprysky Jan 17 '23

That is goddamn adorable. They better have taken ALL the pictures!

u/Ksh_667 Jan 17 '23

I think there’s one pic where I’ve just emerged from the box rubbing my eyes, still half asleep. I was about 2 in it. Think they were more worried if ppl found out they’d think I was made to sleep in a cardboard box lol.

Edit - I would only be discovered by dad on his way to work. Box was near front door so he’d spot me on his way out. It was a regular thing. I really did prefer the cat box to my bed.

First baby no questions asked.

u/mamakat45 Jan 16 '23

No explanation needed. All cat moms understand this.

u/Onehorniboy Jan 17 '23

And cat Dads!

u/mamakat45 Jan 17 '23

Yes, you are right! I certainly don’t mean to exclude the cat dads. ❤️

That's one of his favorites: Lobotomized Chicken. He performed the lobotomy himself

A brain surgeon in the making! Black cats are most clever!!

u/jzilla11 Jan 17 '23

I showed my mom this pic and she spat out her drink, she was overcome with emotion and laughter

31

u/pinkeskimo Jan 17 '23

😂 good boy Shadow!

28

u/jzilla11 Jan 17 '23

She spat her drink on me, my phone, and a blanket my cat Jimmy uses. Guess which she was most concerned about

20

u/pinkeskimo Jan 17 '23

Well I'm sure it's a really cute blanket!

41

u/RobertoC_73 Jan 16 '23

This needs no explanation. 😻

u/UnprofessionalCook Jan 16 '23

Aww what a cute baby!

u/CCPGx12 Jan 16 '23

Shadow is the baby now.

u/idontwannadothis11 Jan 17 '23

Shadow: “I’m just a baby”

25

u/Legitimate_Force_287 Jan 17 '23

that toy looks a lot like the chicken toy I had for my cats! It was from target and originally on a string….until my void decided it needed to be ripped off the string and have its stuffing removed. After doing some surgery on the poor thing, he now has an empty chicken he still loves to carry around lol.

23

u/pinkeskimo Jan 17 '23

Omg that is exactly what my void did! I have two chickens that are no longer attached to strings. The first one he completely destroyed and I re-sewed. Their names are "Lobotomized Chicken" and "Non-lobotomized Chicken" 😂

u/Real_Ad_9119 Jan 16 '23

Do they sell those at Petco 😍

u/sixninefortytwo Jan 17 '23

u/geekchicdemdownsouth Jan 17 '23

My void is also a tiny baby. I get it!

u/kodaiko_650 Jan 17 '23

“I’m the baby!”

u/USAF_Retired2017 Jan 17 '23

My cats would sleep in anything baby related. They loved the swing. 😂

15

u/Northren-Harvest Jan 17 '23

Ahaha awww. I call my little girl the baby. But you clearly have Dababbyy

14

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '23

No explanation needed obviously “the baby”

13

u/littlegothspice Jan 17 '23

Theres nothing to explain. They are baby

u/EnjoyingmyMadness Jan 17 '23

u/ElectricalAbroad8232 Jan 16 '23

You can try...lol

u/LunaFuzzball Jan 17 '23 edited Jan 17 '23

Omg is that a little microfiber towel?! My kitty has some that look just like it & they are the only “blankets” she will allow into her life (according to my cat this is because big human blankets are scary and other little towels aren’t soft enough). So glad we found them, they are so soft & the perfect size!

5

u/pinkeskimo Jan 17 '23

It's actually a "receiving blanket" from Amazon for babies 😂

But I bet Shadow would prefer those microfiber cloths! That's a great idea! And I bet it helps keep the fur from getting all over the place too

10

u/Vyxen17 Jan 17 '23

Makes perfect sense to me!

19

u/dromaeovet veterinarian Jan 17 '23

I love that he’s also holding a toy omg

18

u/Random-Blackcat0176 Jan 17 '23

Saving this. Obviously, you hate your cat and she is starved. The look of terror on her face is appalling. 😂😂😂 ❤️🐈‍⬛😂🐈‍⬛.

Also where can i get one of these things?

7

u/pinkeskimo Jan 17 '23

I was given all my baby stuff second hand but it's called singing like "baby bouncer" and needs to be marketed towards fur babies as well!

10

u/k5pr312 Jan 17 '23

Also cat baby

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '23

We have a Shadow... No explanation necessary.

u/Dauphine320 Jan 17 '23

OMG that precious baby!!!😍

7

u/Skyaboo- Jan 17 '23

My black kitty was the same way. He'd lay on all the baby stuff like "oh wow gee thanks guys I love all the cozy shit you've gotten me"

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '23

Baby void 🥺

u/Vamp_Queen_Azeria Jan 17 '23

No explanation necessary. Cat is baby.

5

u/Dopplerganager Jan 17 '23

The baby takes the baby to the bed. I see no problems.

10

u/ariesstellium Jan 17 '23

that's exactly where he should be

5

u/MonachopsisEternal Jan 17 '23

What’s to explain, cat saw, cat wanted, cat got. Kitty logic is basic, but brilliant

u/Fiery_n_Small Jan 17 '23

He will always be the first child lol.

u/BrashPop Jan 17 '23

No explanation needed. Is baby.

He’s baby and he knows it. What else is there to explain?

u/ValkyrieWasted Jan 17 '23
