This is Sylvester, he’s a cat. I would say he’s my cat but honestly he just showed up 10 years ago and I fed him, and now he owns the porch.

Taking photos of him is difficult (especially in full manual) as I’m pretty sure he thinks I’m trying to steal his soul.. black cats are weird right? But other than that, he’s a pretty cool cat... and love those eyes 😍 Even though I’m more of a dog person.

Cats are interesting creatures don’t you think?

They seem to be one of the most popular topics on the internet too, so I’m pretty sure that means they are either cool.. or they are running some sort of secret human controlling program that we don’t know about. 🤔 Which would sort of prove they are cool, as they have fooled the whole human race and how many other animals can take credit for that? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Do you have any cats?

Or have you evaded their control somehow? Let’s see ‘em!

The cat is a real cat and I took the photos with my camera

I'm a cat person. Although right now I have no pets as I'm living in my bus.. black cats are my favorite because they are usually very affectionate.. !tip

Sparkles - Proud as punch

Is the tongue thing a trend I did not know of? :)

Ok, your comments are my new favorite thing on Steem (what’s in your pockets won me over and this one is a close second). I’m just going to check your comments when I’m in need of a good giggle from now on.. you remind me of someone too 🤔

Somehow Sparkles still looks totally adorable even in such a sticky situation 😂 that face lol

:)

okay, first things first - cats rule the world, and secondly, this is not a shit post!!

Cats are my favourite in the whole weird and i love their weird personalities so much. I have literally written loads of posts about my cats lol.

My favouritecat post I've done was about my work cat BooBoo. Poor BooBoo got really sick and we had to put him down in December, but he lived the life, from street cat to antique shop cat...

Here's a quote from my post about precious BooBoo

BooBoo has literally grabbed life with two hands (paws?) and embraced it in full. He went from a starving alley cat to a full blown Paris Hilton kitty. He went from eating scraps to Fancy Feast on the daily. Where he used to sleep in a ditch, he now sleeps in a sheepskin blanket.

and if you wanted to read more, it's here, but it's really old, so don't vote!

Oh, and my favourite cat GIF of all time:

Haha! I am realizing they really do rule the world.. we are all (even me who claims to not be a cat person) under their power.

It’s true, I need to not use that tag I guess.. I mean it more in the “just for fun” way but it can be deceiving.

I’ll have to check out the post, BooBoo sounds like he had quite the life ❤️ Sylvester also started as a starving stray and now he is king of the porch haha. Thank you for sharing your story and that gif is perfection!

I'm not a cat person...

fxwDj.gif

I am a cat person.

immediately turns into a cat person

you see! You're under their controlz!

Hahaha I like this one.

You are definitely under their power. The nr one symptom of being controlled by cats is thinking that you are not a cat person 🤪

I totally got that it was a just for fun post, but I think it's a bit derogatory to yourself as these fun posts are great. We can't be serious ALL the time.

Yeah, Booboo had le life. Glad I could have given him a year of total love and spoilt rotteness!

Since you're giving us what we want. Can we get some woodland creatures next time? Like squirrels or beavers? Its a very handsome cat.

Haha! I’m trying to cover popular topics..have fun with me bflanagin 😜

hmmm woodland creatures may be tough.. I’m not a good enough photographer to capture them in the wild 🤔 I will see what I can do!

Sure, I'm always game for a theme. :)

OOH, Squirrel!

Yes, I think, that they are somehow controlling us, but we do not notice it. They look on us by their suspicious eyes. My friend has a cat. She is madly aggressive, but in my friend too, the nature is not sugar. And whether, is this cat similar to its proprietress or is this proprietress similar to a cat.🐈

Only passing mousers.

There seems to have been cats around for my entire adult life, and we seem to end up with a happy co-existence. Ours are a lot tamer than just "a cat on the porch," mind you... they pretty much "own" us. Including "Shadow," who is watching, as I type this. I think he senses I am up to something... better go!

(That's also a real cat, and a real photo by me...)

I love dogs - especially smart, loyal dogs - and hamsters - they are so cute, if not too bright.

I guess that means I am uneasy around cats. Although I occasionally meet cool cats (and I never refrain from gently stroking between the ears any cat that approaches me) I can't say I like cats. Even the general people obsession with cats makes me unease.

We do love kitties, thanks.

They are pretty adorable, even I cannot deny that. They quite a presence about them too, it’s rather intriguing.

And our just turned 18 house cat, Bryde:

I can’t seem the images 😕 I think Steemit is having some issues. I love barn cats though, ours growing up was named blacky (yes super creative with the names of a black cat as a child clearly) and she was my favorite.

❤️

I had a heck of time getting them to upload. I thought I'd succeeded, as I could see them on the preview. I can see them on the reply, but am sad you can not. :((

2nd try....

Thank heavens for this. All those boring posts about real life shit - like who even cares, right?

Your post reminded me of this Terry Pratchett quote I just love.

I don't have any cats and the last cat I came in contact with didn't seem to like me much for some reason...oh well, I guess I'm screwed when they do take over the whole world.

I love the second picture, by the way ;)

PS: I read the tag at the end and for a sec, I thought it said #catsrevolt :)))

Yay! Ohhh he’s cute!! They really do don’t they? Haha. Thanks for sharing your adorable friend ❤️

When I DM'd you want I wanted to see, I didn't mean an actual cat.

Love the eye colour.

😳

This one killed me Taraz, thank you 😂❤️❤️❤️

Well at least you know the carpet matches the curtains.

Oh gosh, I didn't know that you have a cat. A black cat, even. You're outing yourself, lele! You are a magic user, a spell caster, ... a witch?!! :O

Do you have any cats?

There are two felines that recently moved into my residence along with my Daughter and Son-In-Common-Law.

Sylvester is certainly a beauty!

Ha ha! You probably hit the most popular subject ever!
I had managed to live out of their control till a couple of years ago when this beauty come into my life and changed that! Now every morning I have 6 cats on my doorstep demanding to be fed asap :)

Kitties! These poor neglected starving cats are 2 of the 4 that we have. Can you see how neglected they are?

If I didn't have my cats, I'm sure my doctor would be happier to see me more often instead of years and years of thinking that I moved out of the country :)

Fun facts: - When I was younger I was allergic to cats
- I am a dog person first
- Since I have cats, a buddha monk style of calm has entered my life. Now I'm waiting to see
if having them will have impact on me having enough patience to deal with humans ;)

Syl is cool

i think cats run the internet, secretly

(probs not to secretly????) 🤔

I LIKE CATS (just to put it out there)

i swear i like cats!! yessir~

(i really do) :D

Uuuhh :)

Furry Feline Friends you say?...

I like cats. I think that they traverse dimensions and come and go as they please :). AFAIK, cats choose their humans rather than the other way around. Eckhart Tolle said "I have lived with several Zen masters, all of them cats". I was privileged to live with one such ZM for a year, his name is Mr.P:

Now I live with a Princess who is made out of nothing but Love, Play and Mischief :)

I'm fairly certain "my cat" is a misnomer for the ages. Though the reverse..."I'm His" might ring a bell of truth out in the south 40, somewhere nearby. We've trapped and fixed 27 cats in this area. (The neighbors have some sort of breeding contest going on). Some left the county in a hurry after getting 'schnicked', and a few moved right in, like your Sylvester. We have one named Pantera that looks just like your S.

And oh you felinidae, what a knack for seizing on a golden opportunity. "How can I miss you, if you're going to set up permanent existence on the outdoor chest freezer?" And even if you aren't a cat person, they do wheedle into your soul rather quickly, are often a bunch of characters, and an endless supply of writing material. Stinky the Cat was a classic, may she now R.I.P., and was a writing buddy on many a Steemit post in the last couple years. She just showed up, walked in the front door, and said "I think this will do just fine".
They may very well be from another planet.

Stackable Kitty Napping

Cats are interesting creatures don’t you think?

I was a vet student for a while, and I had a love-hate relation with them, they turn into demons at the vet, literally, I see pentagrams showing up and everything when they are the vet's clinic...Still, I really enjoyed treating them, they have an incredibly complex social behavior with other cats that most people can't see unless they are trained to see. For example, did you know that if 2 cats have the same territory they sometimes change their sleep schedule in order to not cross paths with the other cat? They are also really insecure, if they don't have a high place to watch the room or the street they can start peeing everywhere because of the stress... I got a 101 intro to cat behavior, one whole day of an expert explaining cat behavior!!
