This is a very important question

It's been on my mind for a while, I am almost certain that the venn diagram of engineers/makers/technical folk and being a cat owner is near a circle.

    When I ask my partner if they want anything from the shop when I go out, they always say "if you happen to see a stray kitten, you can bring them home!"

    He was part of the 'Cat Distribution System'. More details in one of the nicer corners of reddit.

    JWx I have been told that cats do not have "owners".  They have servants.  Laughing
    We had a cat growing up.  He probably adopted us and we just fell in line.

    Mine did do that when he was younger, so I got a bunch of pneumatic tubing, sliced it open, and put it on all the wires. He got discouraged or something, and stopped a year or two in though.

    They'd probably make good electricians, one time he did chew cleanly through a live 230V wire somehow.

    the problem with cats is that one is never sure who is considered a pet... There was even a joke about a cat being a top lifeform on the Earth and humans existing simply to provide cats with warm housing and steady input of food and milk 

    (said as a former cat owner)

    We looked after a school guinea pig one summer.  I have never repaired so many power cords in my life.  I have no idea how he didn't die with all the cords he chewed.

    Don’t know where she comes from or where she disappears to… but for the last 3 years this queen casually shows up daily just to eat and rest here like it’s her personal 5-star resort

    Love to see her every single time!
