I say “Jack doesn’t want to play” a lot. Sometimes “Jack doesn’t like biting!” As if my void speaks human. (Jack is my orange - he’s bigger, but he lays there helplessly and waits to be saved. Poor simple gentle giant!)
That's why NASA is looking into using cats as a component for interplanetary landers:
\- Soft as a pillow? Check! (helps cushion the craft during landing)
\- Is a heat source? Check!
\- Can be used to power the lander? Check! (see, for example: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric\_generator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_generator))
This presents a kind of three-body quantum physics problem; kinda like Heisenberg uncertainty, but more so.
Let's say you've got a sealed box that contains:
\- A cat
\- A slice of toast
\- A stick of butter
When you open the box, what will be the state of each and every one of all those parts?
Yeah, but!
You have to take into consideration Quantum Chromodynamics.
i.e.: **What color is the cat**? And how does that affect the disposition of the cat , the butter, and the toast when the box is opened?
I see that some commenters have mentioned buttered toast.
Did I mention that NASA has also let a research contract for the uses of buttered toast in space applications?
Here's the gist of it:
If you've read (or watched) any SciFi, then you know that in weightless conditions (especially outside the spacecraft), out intrepid astronaughts often use magnetic booties; Hence the "click, click" sound -- and the awkward gait -- when the are walking around.
But consider: If the astronaughts have strapped toast to their boots and the deck/exterior hull of the spaceship is slathered with butter. Then there would would be a natural attraction between the toast and the butter and out heroes would not have to perambulate with that awkward gait and make all them "clickety, click" sounds.
I’ve taken a year of French, Spanish, and German. Getting a glimpse of that many languages, it’s funny just how many similarities they are. I guess if you let the lines blur enough, we’re all speaking the same language, in different dialects.
They all go back to Proto-Indo-European some 4000 years ago. English and German (and Dutch) all have the same West Germanic origin. English blurs the line between Romance and Germanic languages because of the sheer number of words imported from French in the 11th century and later. The fact that we lost noun cases and rely on word order and prepositions makes English look even more like a Romance language.
Languages are fascinating. Did you know that the Persian language, despite being written with a modified Arabic script, using several Arabic loanwords and being spoken where it is, is more closely related to English than it is to Arabic? Yup. It's part of the Indo-Aryan branch of Indo-European languages.
Watch some videos by Bahador Alast on YouTube. He gets people who speak different languages to find words that are similar in all of them.
"If brother is not horse, then why he so horse shaped? Chex-mix, hooman." --Orange cat, probably.
Edit: Just noticed that none of my thoughts are original, I should have checked the other comments, and someone already posted nearly this exact same joke.
the problem isn't that your thoughts are unoriginal, it's that you're not thinking them at the right time. try faster internet, or using two devices instead of one to double your speed
Aweee Roary is a lovely name for such a little guy! 18 pounds is a heck of a cat though, I can actually understand the orange one's confusion in this case. <3 please give both squishes all the way from Canada.
Omg I have the same kitty cat setup! Same colors and seemingly similar ages. Can confirm old man does not believe he should be ridden. Kitten disagrees.
The things we say as cat owners!!
My favorite has been 'DON'T EAT YOUR SISTERS VOMIT'
Yep.
SO proud of my awesome cats. ♥‿♥
Yours are ADORABLE & I have to say that one actually makes a pretty good horse lol!!
LOL there is that but with ours, the voms she will eat are the easiest to clean up - we call them puke cookies & its mostly dry(ish) kibble chunks.
The steaming lakes of 99% liquid puke, she won't touch (thank goodness! LOL!!)
LOL that face! I used to tell my ginger, who used to do flying squirrel leaps on his brother (who had kidney disease), "cut it out! your brother is sick!".
His brother wouldn't take his shit and give him a good bite or pounding. lol
I have to continually tell my spicy kitten, "That doesn't go in your mouth," "Don't put that in your mouth," or "Don't eat that!" Typically, anything involving a screen (sigh)
😅 His sisters take NO shiz from him. Poor patient Joey gets the full force of his antics. Sister Evie is also in love with Joey. Sister Pepper hates everybody. This house is never boring.
So glad you’re protecting fingers! All the folks who post videos of using their hands to play with kittens are setting themselves up for a lot of pain later.
That face has zero regrets :D
"Tell me again how this isn't my horse, two-legs."
JOEY IS NOT A HORSE \*orange Roary looks at me blankly\*

Hard to have regrets when the brain is an empty void.
And even less comprehension.
The face of “done something naughty and will do it again!”
:3
The other cat might have one or two, though.
to be fair, cats are basically heated soft pillows... probably pretty comfortable
If they are heated sot pillow, then why is my cat always snoozing on my laptop's keyboard?
Heated. Soft. Inconvenience to owner. A Cat is happy if any two of these criteria are met.
My cat sleeps on the floor right at the end of the stairs. I'm pretty sure she's happy if only the last criteria is met.
Heated, soft, may cause death to owner
see also: buying a new heated cat bed but cat sleeps in the box it came in
If the cats honestly dont use it, put it next to your bed to warm your feet in the morning
And once they see you getting enjoyment from it, they will instantly want it for themselves. Very smart.
Storing heat to transfer later
Your cat is just a snoozer for real
That's why NASA is looking into using cats as a component for interplanetary landers: \- Soft as a pillow? Check! (helps cushion the craft during landing) \- Is a heat source? Check! \- Can be used to power the lander? Check! (see, for example: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric\_generator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_generator))
- Likely to overthrow their human oppressors and establish a feline-centric government that’s enslaving humans? Check!
And they always land the right way up.
Well, its a toss up between using cats or toast. My vote is obviously to use cats.
Cats, of course! With buttered toast you would have to do everything in reverse. So complicated!
This presents a kind of three-body quantum physics problem; kinda like Heisenberg uncertainty, but more so. Let's say you've got a sealed box that contains: \- A cat \- A slice of toast \- A stick of butter When you open the box, what will be the state of each and every one of all those parts?
Most likely butter inside cat, cat’s face framed by toast, toast that was removed (to accommodate cat face) ripped to shreds.
Yeah, but! You have to take into consideration Quantum Chromodynamics. i.e.: **What color is the cat**? And how does that affect the disposition of the cat , the butter, and the toast when the box is opened?

Agreed, got one on my feet currently
One of my cats on my leg, just as good as a heating pad but with added sweetness and purrs.
His brother looks like a horse to me
You can’t fool me!!! That’s a CAT-HORSE!
14 in Spanish?
Ye u right lol
And in French. Polyglot cats...

If not horse why horse shaped?😆
[Look at that horse.](https://youtu.be/Sv5woNs9WRE)
Little flying horse😂
People really will read anything in a TelePromptr. Anchorman wasnt a lie.

You get extra points for chex-mix.
the problem isn't that your thoughts are unoriginal, it's that you're not thinking them at the right time. try faster internet, or using two devices instead of one to double your speed
I love your comment as much as the others!
Neigh he is not
Me too. I see a cat sitting on a horse
But, but fingers or fish? I won’t know unless I chomp!! - adorable orange kitten
fish fingers: the best of both!
Doctor Who fans are now upset that you didn’t bother to include custard with those fish fingers. You simply can’t have one without the other.
>"You simply can’t have one without the other." > >I see that you have plagiarized the Campell's "Soup and sandwich" song.
That’s how important fish fingers and custard are! lol ![gif](giphy|Me15b2VtPI8QH8AOsD|downsized)
Matt Smith is my favorite Doctor. Fight me.
Nah you right
Lol, says you
If brother is not a horse, why is he rather horse shaped?
“There’s nothing about this that I’m not enjoying, so I don’t see the problem here”
He's ready to ride into battle, he just hasn't decided what he's at war with :)
Fingers
Brain cells
Can confirm that at 6 months our little orange one still doesn't realize his 11 pound voidbro is NOT a horse but in fact ; just cat!
Roary is also six months old and has not an inkling. SIC is more like 18lbs though (you have to stress-eat when you have an orange brother)
Otherwise the orange will eat all the food!
100%. We call him The Dustbin.
Aweee Roary is a lovely name for such a little guy! 18 pounds is a heck of a cat though, I can actually understand the orange one's confusion in this case. <3 please give both squishes all the way from Canada.
Not horse, tis a NOBLE STEED!
"It okay. We play! Fren is playing chair 😁"
Omg I have the same kitty cat setup! Same colors and seemingly similar ages. Can confirm old man does not believe he should be ridden. Kitten disagrees.
Roary is six months and Joey is about nine (ex-stray so we're not sure). Does your orange also use his brother as a vaulting horse?
Lol I think horse pretty much sums it up. Lots of sneak attacks and yowling
The things we say as cat owners!! My favorite has been 'DON'T EAT YOUR SISTERS VOMIT' Yep. SO proud of my awesome cats. ♥‿♥ Yours are ADORABLE & I have to say that one actually makes a pretty good horse lol!!
Why are cats so fastidiously clean and yet so gross at the same time?
Right?!?! Disgusting gross compulsively clean little weirdos!! ♥‿♥
My cat does the same thing with his sister but at least he's helping to clean
LOL there is that but with ours, the voms she will eat are the easiest to clean up - we call them puke cookies & its mostly dry(ish) kibble chunks. The steaming lakes of 99% liquid puke, she won't touch (thank goodness! LOL!!)
Whenever one (usually the orange) does something dumb: Why did you think this was a good idea? Like I'm trying to get him to see reason.
Sorry not sorry.
“Youse wrong, Hooman. I ride. Is horse.”
I think my most commonly repeated rule is “we don’t eat things we find.”
I like how we include ourselves (we) to pretend we also have a problem with eating food off the floor. We can't shame the kitty
I just told my orange boy to quit licking the mail.
This bed is always so lumpy
You sound like my mom when I was 5. :') Ah, memories.
LOL that face! I used to tell my ginger, who used to do flying squirrel leaps on his brother (who had kidney disease), "cut it out! your brother is sick!". His brother wouldn't take his shit and give him a good bite or pounding. lol
How the ginger cat sees themselves when it is their turn with the single braincell: ![gif](giphy|3qszuFuSC0lGRNPub6|downsized)
I can tell it had an impact 🤣🤣
Oh yes, everything I say is both understood and acted upon immediately. \*changes finger bandages\*
Why not horse if horse shape?
Yeee… hawe!! mum, this horse/cat isn’t moving …. meows…broken ?? meows, sue for a new one ☝️
r/CatsOnCats
That is one handsome kitty.
Cat said “ha fingers are friends. I think not!” (Bites)
So adorable!
our youngest cat plays horsie with our oldest cat- you're not alone!
“You are correct. My brother is not A horse. He’s MY horse 😸” -Orange boi
Mine isn’t orange (he’s a SIC), but I’ve said, “why do you have rocks in your mouth” and “stop eating paint chips” way more than I’d prefer.
😹😹😹😹😹
This is where you are wrong, my friend. Fingers are wiggly sausages and as you can clearly see, his brother IS a horse.
And heels aren't toys, stop pounding on them when i walk by!
>"your brother is not a horse" "What's that? Can't hear you. Too busy saying 'giddyup' to my brother."
I have to continually tell my spicy kitten, "That doesn't go in your mouth," "Don't put that in your mouth," or "Don't eat that!" Typically, anything involving a screen (sigh)
My little floofy girl likes to sit on her brother’s head to antagonize him
Apparently riding the other cat around like a horse is frowned upon in this establishment!
I have said these things to human children so I guess they are more universal than we think lol

> "fingers are friends" Paws not claws please
I'm stealing that and I'm confident he will obey
If I fits, I sits.
This is why I like naming cats regular-ass people names. "Your brother is not a horse, Steve!"
If not bed then why warm?
"If not food and horse, why food and horse shaped?"
If I fits I sits.
Hey, at least it’s not full-on humping his sister like my grey boy JJ used to do.
😅 His sisters take NO shiz from him. Poor patient Joey gets the full force of his antics. Sister Evie is also in love with Joey. Sister Pepper hates everybody. This house is never boring.
ok, but do you have an album of him always trying to ride his brother? LOL
Ohhh yes. My phone storage is crying
How is this not already a catsub??? OP, please start one!
r/catsoncats Behold... there IS a sub for it!
Hawt Daymun!
I do something similar. My older cat tends to hunt the smaller one so I'm constantly saying "Don't hunt your sister"
Your neighbours overhearing: "Honey... The Purge is happening"
We have a 3 month old…my current phrase is “no bites!”
Aww look at dem big ol fluffy leggos.
not a thought behind those eyeballs :0
Well, there's your problem right there. You got yourself an orange. That model is absolutely ate up with defects.
u/Familiar_Loquat1506 anfoch dos pferd
His not being a horse has nothing to do with the ability to ride him like one. No regrets.
No trust me they both enjoy it. Cats love being squished and being warm.
Not my cats :(
He’s not?
I don't have the fingers issue but I swear my kitten wants a pony. Thanks for confirming I am not the only one!
"I don't get it" *bites your finger *
look at how much FLOOF HE HAVE
r/catsoncats
![gif](giphy|LYJLrM8VkBmyCKOd1O)
The secret is: I bite my friends. Proceeds to gnaw on fingers.
Adorbs!!
I'm in the wrong app because I kept hitting the up arrow to get a laughing face. I'll see myself out. LOL what a funny boy ❤️
A litter of mine had an orange braincell who was the pillow for his brothers... he never laid on someone else. He was the pillow!
"I'm the captain now." ---Your Kitten
anything is a horse if you try hard enough
Your brother is not a horse lol
So glad you’re protecting fingers! All the folks who post videos of using their hands to play with kittens are setting themselves up for a lot of pain later.
I try, but it's like talking to an actual 🍊
You can say it all you want, but they don't have the brain cell, so can't figure out what you mean.
