My cat brought in a lizard last night but it escaped somewhere into the under stairs before I could rescue it. I guess I have a pet lizard now too.
Unless your house has leaks, you’ll probably just discover a dried up lizard when renovating some day
“It squeaks”
Translation: It makes noises like an animal at distress or about to die when you are tearing into it.
As long as they’re having fun
humans would never simulate killing for entertainment.
Also like how they have a brand called Meowijuana
Meowijuana is purrfect marketing incarnate
What do you do to play with your dog?
I have a squeaky.squeeeeeek
And what about your cat?
Oh, I can’t play with him until I pay Big Jimmie $200 for the meth.
Catnip isnt rly drugs afaik
IIRC it can effect humans too if you eat enough of it but it’s more of a depressant for us.
A lot of people put some in their weed. I usually do lavender, but have been thinking about trying catnip. I don’t think i should just use the atuff they sell at my local Walmart though
I’d say Sarah doesn’t know much about cats or is just lazy.
Cats love toys, but it needs to be engaging. They love their pray to feel alive, to move, to hide. A crumpled up piece of paper on a string tied to a stick works wonders. That means the owner needs to participate, but most don’t. Also cats are crepuscular so for maximum success keep play limited the evening or morning. You might be surprised how much of a hunter your cat actually is.

Or maybe it is just a dumb joke?
I feel like jokes are a reflection on the people making them, based on their own experiences and biases. Jokes also need to be rooted in some kind of reality we all agree on in order to subvert and become funny.
A dumb joke about cats not wanting toys still tells me the owner has no idea or doesn’t care. And I’ve met these owners many times before. So many people see their pets as furniture and understand nothing about them, their personalities or their needs.
I’ve bought my cat toys that I hoped she’d like and she hates them. It’s not a matter of misunderstanding. It’s a matter of the other car showing the slightest interest.
