It was bringing you your food and sharing it. Much more advanced than my cat which brings food neither one of us wants (giant spiders) and not eating it (it's still alive and under my bed) and then shouting about it (please send a team to help extricate the arachnid)

[–] T156@lemmy.world 55 points 2 months ago

Maybe the giant spiders are meant to be a way for you to learn to hunt, before graduating to actual food?

They could be meowing at you like a drill sergeant.

My cat also prefers to eat when I'm nearby. I think it's a comfort thing.

[–] T156@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

Eating as a family is often better than eating alone. Especially when you're going to be sharing the food like cats do.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In the wild they are probably vulnerable when eating so maybe it's for protection. I'm no expert though.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I recall reading that cats in the wild are considered semi-social, so while they usually don't hunt together, they do like to eat and hang out together with animals they like during down time. You're part of their in group.

I love my cat, and if he did this, I would be absolutely flattered that he felt safe to eat a meal on top of me. Plus it’d be so freaking hysterical to wake up to such an absurd scenario you’d never expect to happen! One of those things you wish you got on video

My cat will carry his toys to me and drop them at my feet when he wants to play, for context.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (5 children)

True story. I woke.up wirh my.cat touching my face, like intentionally trying to wake me up, when I opened my eyes she droped a LIVE cockroach In my face. I guess she was trying to warn me or give me.a gift but that was traumatic

[–] cheddar@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago

Bro that was traumatic to read. Please accept my condolences. I hope you will recover.

This is the cat's way of telling you, "I am looking forward to consuming your flesh when you die in the house."

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 34 points 2 months ago (22 children)

Why was there pizza sitting out in the open unrefrigerated after they'd gone to bed? Seems gross.

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Never ripped it so hard you stuff your face silly and pass out?

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I actually haven't, but I'm willing to stipulate that it happens

[–] MudSkipperKisser@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Save your stipulations for a more stipulative matter, I can verify it happens

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

i would also be willing to stipulate this

[–] Cosmos7349@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I’m also willing to stipulate that this happens. I have no experience with this. Definitely not. But I have a good feeling that other people have done this. But not me.

[–] MudSkipperKisser@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Someone skipped college years entirely it seems. Or just general adulthood in my case

[–] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Who said it wasn't in the fridge? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

If it was, that cat deserves to eat it wherever the hell it wants.

I always wanted to be one of those nude models that have sushi served on them. That would be rad.

[–] Asclepiaz@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

It would be so cold 🥶

[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Your most memorable comment yet in my eyes, Kolanak

Poor kitty wanted a warm pizza andthis was the only way it knew how. Get a cat-operated microwave now.

[–] match@pawb.social 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He wanted to ask permission 🥺

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

He wanted to share too lol

[–] KaiReeve@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe the cat was a Japanese businessman in a former life.

[–] match@pawb.social 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I Was A Businessman But I Was Reborn in Another World As A Pizza Stealing Cat?!?

[–] KaiReeve@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I think I saw that on Crunchyroll

[–] norimee@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

At least it was pizza from their own kitchen and not something they found outside.

[–] RunawayFixer@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

I have a hunch that this cat was roleplaying that he killed a big ape and was now eating it.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

"You see this, human? Good. Now go clean my poop corral.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

The cat is being merciful by only eating your pizza. Make sure it is always well fed.
