Its okay for cats because they're cute and adorable, which elon isn't.

And because their litterboxes are way nicer than his.

Isn't that the litterbox infamous for murdering cats?

According to this article, no - the door on the bad design closes horizontally. The article actually uses a pic of this very box (or extremely similar) as an example of a "reputable" design. But then again, it also advised people to stop using the bad design, and to talk to their vet (why?!?) about the "next steps to take." 🤷‍♀️

It's also because cats have no object permanence, just like Elon

Cats do have object permanence though? So cats are in fact; smarter and cuter.

Yeah that's right. Was just ranting. Haha. We're in the onion community

Now I’m imagining a cat without object permanence trying to hunt a mouse.
