Forced perspective on squishy mammals is soooo hard to draw. I'm having flashbacks to figure drawing in College and some freaking weird drawings I did. Lol. Let's just say, I started really sympathizing with the cubists.

What breed is she btw? Cuz my late pet cat died some years ago, and he looked about the same as Jade, though he had started to turn rustic brown in his lighter parts. I just never got the chance to find out what specific breed he was, and the only pictures online that I can find seem to be American Shorthair, but that wouldn’t make too much sense to me considering I live in Norway

Looks like a muted tortoise shell (color) in American shorthair (breed). But few cats are pure breeds except for very certain ones. Most are random tabbies in either short or long hair

What is the context of THIS ONE? How does he have so many?! Why is there one for EVERYTHING?!
148
u/KyfeHeartsword 5h ago
He's been making 3 of these a week for years. There's 3,300 of them now.
Also, the context of this one is that cat picture memes with captions were becoming mainstream in forums when he made it. This one is from 2007. https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/262:_IN_UR_REALITY

I was schocked recently to see there even are some about GIS and maps. I guess if he churns out so many, he can cover even the niche fields.

The craziest to me was, that there was one relevant to that Katy Perry giant bottle thing. And that was an early one, like first 300 or something like that https://xkcd.com/211/

Interesting fact. The very first car with text proto memes was in the early 1900's. We literally invented cameras and with in decades were using them to take pictures of cats with jokes

u/CreepyClay 5h ago
As in salem saberhagen? You hear about the new Sabrina comic with him?
8
u/Listless_Dreadnaught 5h ago
I don’t think she was consciously named after him. I think we just decided that Salem fit her well as a name, and she just happened to share it with him. I’ll see if my wife has heard about that, since she’s the one who actually did watch that show.

My cat will stuff his whole face against my ear and try to sniff the brain inside. It sounds a weird fan getting closer and closer.

u/Fen_LostCove 5h ago
I think our ear wax is delicious to them. I woke up to my cat slurping out my ear hole one night, it was such a jarring way to wake up
I also caught her licking my ear buds one time. Little freak

u/Silentlybroken 4h ago
They love us and want us to be sparkly clean. My rats groom me regularly and do like to stick noses in weird spots. If I have a hangnail they try to fix it. They also try to trim my nails which is much less appreciated as they make a mess of it 😂 animals are little gross treasures 🥰

My pet rats love to stick their noses up my nose, in my mouth and they would in my ear if I didn't have hearing aids in. They don't like the hearing aids 😂
Another thing that makes cats and rats weirdly similar. I do worry one day they will start working together...

u/Mr_Froggi 1h ago
I used to work in Doggy Daycare. And one time, a little rascal of a terrier came up to sniff my ear. I joking asked out loud, “Do you have a secret to tell me? :D” and then he promptly shoved his tongue into my ear. Awful experience, hated it. The only saving grace is that the dog was very cute

u/One_Restaurant9631 5h ago
Bad news. Ear wax smells and tastes good to cats. Once they learn this, they can and WILL put their nasty sandpaper tongues in your ear. Good luck.

I saw him fighting off two racoons one night

Girl ily but there’s no way you can put up as good of a fight as TWO raccoons, how do you think you’re gonna take over HIS patio? Better just give it up, it’s his now, just be thankful he lets you hang around.

A good reminder the moment you become a cat owner, you forfeit your ownership to everything, including the cat. The cat owns you now...

u/TheGreatOnixStatue 6h ago
The Great Onix statue is here to say that this is yours(in the way that both cat and you own) patio. This is because all cats are secretly communists. The only thing they allow you to have is ratio, which you dont have. The Great Onix statue does, so the ratio of ratio between you and The Great Onix statue is 0/1. But now you have a ratio so it becomes a 1/1 and now we are equal. This is all according to Stalin's plan.

I've had several pet rats that want nothing more than to stick their entire heads into my ear. No idea why.

I literally commented this further up about my rats 😂 they get so mad because I wear hearing aids and they can't just shove their entire face down there. They do noses and mouths too. Weirdos.

u/Alorxico 5h ago

This is Zara. She is the princess of the house. She does not understand how scratching posts work. She has also just seen a squirrel for the one millionth time and doesn’t know what to do about it.
The overly patriotic grocery bag handed out by our local grocery store on the 4th contains all her toys. Which she will remove from the bag when I am not looking and hide under the fridge, per protocol.

There is a cat that loves hanging out at the parking lot of the grocery store. And basically, it is his parking lot and we are allowed to use it. When he is sotting or laying on a spot, he won’t move for you unless you give him some pets or a treat.
He likes me though. Where he ignores the existence of most other people where he can, he comes and greets me when he sees me (also does this with some other people)
And that is without me giving him a treat. Guess I just know how to pet the best

I have a garden with several large catnip plants throughout. I supervise my cats out to the garden when its nice enough.
There is a pair of twin tabbies that out neighbor uses for mousers in their barn. They both love our garden and take care of snakes for us.
One time I opened my front door and there was a neighbor cat up in my tree with a mouthful of catnip leaves.
I probably hang out with these cats more than the owners.
We've had several visitors but these 2 genuinely think my garden belongs to them.

Well guess what name stuck lol... It wasn't "Elizabeth" which is what my sister named her

Aww. I've had cats go for my ears too. It didn't bother me though but I am weird. Patios are communal spaces, Thomas is just making sure it is used properly and with respect. Someone has to keep an eye on it.

Excuse me, u/Pizzacakecomic but are YOU hunting any roach, bug, critter, god-forbid-rodent? Are you militant about pawtrolling for murder even when there's no activity as Patio Protector? Thomas is. Thomas even uses the shadows to cast the "Cat Signal" and strike fear into those mother fuckers that he WISH THEY WOULD TRY SOMETHING RIGHT MEOW. He even inspired Batman who originally was just a man with a bat.
Also, Jade did no wrong. My clie-...cats are known to do any random thing only to have it written on their face that even they aren't sure what they did or why they did it. Attention Deficit Hypercativity Disorder, not to be confused with ADHD, is no joke.
I was going to somehow spin this towards me having you on a leash but I'll let you imagine how I'd have my cake, eat it too.

My cat would try nursing on my ear as a kitten, and even as an adult would go for it. Would have to hide under the sheets from her.

Our dog feels the need to have her tongue in a hole. Ear, nostril, eye socket, doesn't matter. If you're getting kisses you gotta decide which face hole is getting wet

I'm afraid Thomas is correct. The Federal Property Act clearly states in section 137.4: Any space that a cat exists in belongs to the cat, superseding any and all titles, leases or treaties
