I feel like the reason certain dog-lovers insist cats are evil is because they read their body language as if they were dogs. So here’s a very basic guide to common “mean” things cats do that actually aren’t mean at all if you know what they’re thinking.
Rolling and exposing belly- attacks you when touched Does not mean: Give belly rubs! - haha I tricked you! Actually means: I’m playful! If you reach for my belly I’ll grab your arm and bite it because I think we’re playfighting!
Lazily exposing belly - still attacks when touched Does not mean: tricked you again! Actually means: I’m showing you my belly because I trust you. Please don’t break that trust by invading my personal space. I might accept a belly rub if I’m not ticklish and I know you well.
Snapping at you while being pet Does not mean: I suddenly decided I dislike you! Actually means: You’re petting me in a way that gives me too much restless energy. Please focus on petting my head and shoulders instead of stroking the full length of my back next time.
Is in the same room but makes no attempt to interact Does not mean: I’m ignoring you Actually means: We’re hanging out! I’m being respectful by giving you space while still enjoying your company.
Slapping/scratching your hand when you try to pet them Does not mean: I hate you! Actually means: You’ve failed to establish that we’re not playing, or the way you’re approaching me scares me. Be calmer, speak more gently, make eye-contact and blink slowly at me before you try again.
I love this post omg, thank you so much. As a lifelong cat person, dogs perplex me because they’re so completely different behaviourally.
I love dogs too but, I’ve been trying to tell people, you canNOT treat cats like you treat dogs. They arent the same animals and have very different personalities
P.s.: people often pet cats way too hard. Dogs like a firm pet or a pat on the belly, cats dont have the same bone structure and are more flexible than dogs so what you’re doing probably hurts them
Sitting and staring Does not mean: I am challenging you/plotting your demise/just generally evil and creepy. Actually means: I am a desert-adapted species, so my natural tears are very thick and keep my eyes moist for a nice long time. I do find people interesting and enjoy watching them. I just don’t need to blink very often!
Staring and blinking slowly Does not mean: I’m smug and think I am smarter than you. Actually means: I like you! But I don’t need to get up in your face to show it. I can just sit over here and blow kisses at you to show you I am glad you are around!
It’s very frustrating for me when people expect cats to act like dogs, or act like they’re deceitful. They aren’t! They just AREN’T DOGS.
I was hoping I’d get an ask like this so I had an excuse to go all out like this! Artfight is an annual art event that surrounds giving and getting art for a whole month!
once you make an account you can upload all your ocs and their information on your own page! This should include stuff like references and small bits of character info (enough for someone to draw them accurately). You need to have at least one OC uploaded to participate so people can draw art for you during Artfight (although i would say upload about 3 so people have choice.)
All people who sign up for Artfight that year get separated into two teams once the event begins (I’m using red and blue as an example but they are usually stuff like sun vs moon, technology vs nature, coffee vs tea etc)
Once that happens people can make art of your OCs in exchange for points for their team! Yep! You get free art of your OCs!
But that means your team is now down a good few points so its not without consequence.
By drawing an OC that belongs to the opposite team for more points than the piece you were given your team is able to stay on top of the game and you also put some good out in the world in the process.
if you draw something for the person of the opposite team and they attack back you can get extra points for your team by starting a “revenge chain” its one of the best ways to get a point multiplier going and to start a friendship with someone who has cool characters!
So what happens when your team wins?
Your team all get a nifty little digital trophy, all the art development that comes with drawing competitively, the knowledge that you’ve put a lot of good and happiness into the world by drawing peoples ocs, and complete ownership of bragging rights! (I personally developed my art style a whole lot during artfight last year! it was super fun!)
So what about when your team looses?
Well the reason why the other team won is because they gave your team the most art of your teams characters! So statistically you just got a whole bunch more free art than they did! Even if you don’t get all the celebration and bragging rights you now have so much more amazing art of your characters!
So basically…
I totally implore everyone who loves to do visual art to participate in artfight! It’s an amazing event that challenges you in a great way and you get to be introduced to a lot of really amazing artists and make alliances with people on your team! Here’s the link to the website Here’s the link to my account on art fight if you want to check me out! Keep in mind you don’t have to participate in artfight once you make an account, you need to opt in for that year at any point during the month so you can absolutely just make an account to watch and look at the good art!
checking the timestamps, all of sexygirlmax2019’s posts have been made today they’re formatted impeccably like bot messages and posts but they’re just a little off
this isn’t a bot this is a human controlling a blog acting like a bot all of the links?? aren’t porn links mysterious bit.ly links to this site: https://max2019.neocities.org/ if you “click here to instantly transport” you get taken to > /seraphim.html if you click it again > /cherubim.html again > /thrones.html …which returns a “Page Not Found” error
Porn Bot ARG
So I ran the mp3 you could get from /cherubim.html through a sstv scanner and got this back
Which is just straight up the image from /seraphim.html.
But the it’s weird, when I went back to /cherubim.html the page changed from a picture and an mp3 download to this:
And when I clicked on that I was taken to /firstsphere/thrones.html which looked like this:
When I clicked on THAT I was taken to /secondsphere/dominions.html and greeted to this disturbing image:
The last eye was apparently clickable which took me to /secondsphere/powers.html which looked like this:
the text on it reads: “H.U.R.L
Hierarchy of Uniform Resource Locators”
??????????
So /dominions.html just changed to this:
and /powers.html changed to:
BUT since making this update, the file for the image is no longer there! So it looks like:
Clicking on the (now missing) picture, it takes you to /secondsphere/light1.html which looks like:
Clicking that takes you to /secondsphere/light2.html, whick looks like how /powers.html looks:
Clicking that takes you back to /secondsphere/light1.html, which has JUST NOW gotten worse:
/secondsphere/light2.html now has the same image as
/secondsphere/light1.html but it now takes you to /secondsphere/light3.html which looks like:
which takes you to /secondsphere/virtues.html which is currently blank.
/secondsphere/virtues.html updated and now looks like:
Clicking on the image currently takes you to /thirdsphere/principalities.html which looks like:
The text reads
“Struggle with thy doubts! Cast them aside! Forsake not thy faith! Sickness will not take thee!”
and the image is a gif titled wrestling
the next page is titled /archangels.html; currently blank
someone get night mind on this
So I tried to talk to her and I’m a little nervous now. Do you think this person might actually be in danger….?
I may overthink a lot, but this could be something bad..
UPDATE: There is now a /thirdsphere/angels.html page
(Added both still image and gif)
It is a gif much like the ones above, with the angel glitching out and disappearing and such. Nothing has been updated beyond this as of yet.
it says “found you” in the tab title
it says “it hurts” if you hover over that image
so after clicking that photo i was taken to this?
then if you click this it takes you to the “child growth page and then clicking again takes you to this blog https://lovely5500.tumblr.com/ theres not much there but they do mention something called “enricks” so after going to google i found a site called http://enricks.angelfire.com/
clicking on the womans face causes the text to distort
its also worth noting theirs a code at the bottom of the page
clicking “enricks” takes you to this page
if you click “bypass login” your taken to this page
Help the max link updated with a hear me link that leads to this creepy livestream.
THE LIVESTREAM IS BACK AND IT SAVED AN IMAGE YESTERDAY. OH FUN.
There’s a brand new “see me here” link which takes you to “documentation.html” and this image, entitled “purify”:
There’s a screech playing in the background. Decoding it into an SSTV image results in this:
Which… isn’t much, but it’s something.
The “hear me here” link updated too:
The Vocaroo clip sounds like frogs or perhaps crickets (i’m gonna go with frogs because of the frog imagery at lovely5500′s blog) and later on, ragged breathing.
cherubim.html also got a pretty exciting update, now emitting a screech that translates into this:
More eyes, what looks like a crying face on the lower right, and text that says “MATTHEW”twice (the bottom one looks like handwriting…?)
Exciting stuff!
(I also suspect a connection with brunomarsreal, another “porn bot” that has been acting… er, out of line recently, but they could easily be a copycat or just someone having fun. Either way, I messaged them - we’ll see.)
IMMEDIATE update: The screech at documentation.html JUST changed, now revealing what looks like the top half of a face!
News on the “see me” page (documentation.html): Another Vocaroo link popped up in the source code, alongside the word “need”. The .mp3 is another SSTV source that translates into… whatever this is:
Has anybody got any ideas on what that could be?
Watching this post develop is honestly giving me life someone please solve this mystery
This is the only post on the blog - the blog was created in January of this year. They talk about an “online equivalent” of a “Sickness stench” as if the internet itself can produce and hold sentient entities. The angel we seem to be contacting might only be able to communicate through the internet under various means and personas; trapped in limbo and Sick, and producing something “evil” because of it. Maybe contacting someone who is the “guardian angel” might know the cure.
I feel like I’m witnessing one of those events in tumblr’s history people always talk about.
a few weeks ago my sister told a bunch of the friends that i made over the school year that im a furry and now none of them will talk to me so if i now seem awkward or if i dont talk to you much its because i dont want that to happen more so im sorry
does anyone have good tips for losing face fat because ive tried contouring and it if just looks stupid plus my parents keep taking note of how “most girls lose their baby fat by now”
Anybody else got like,, rlly random connections to famous ppl?? Like my older brothers were friends w Jennifer Lawrence when they were like 12 and I just found out I’m friends w the cousin of the girl who voiced honey lemon in big hero six like, idk what I’m supposed to do with either of these tid bits I feel like I was supposed to live my life in ignorance of them
the tags on this are so funny because they range from “my neighbor went to school with tom cruise” to “my dad is best friends with macklemore”
Even if you don’t have a cat please reblog this for all your followers who may have their own precious little baby.
I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT TUNA OMFG
If I remember rightly it’s the trace elements of mercury in canned tuna that is toxic to them. Their kidneys can’t filter it out like human kidneys can.
ok im gonna break this down a bit because some of these are BLATANTLY untrue and it kills me every time i see this.
alcohol: not very good for humans, either, but alcohol effects pets the same way it effects humans: targeting the brain and the liver. the issue? it takes way less to kill your cat than it does a human. you weigh, on average, at least 100 pounds (or 10x) more than your cat does. 3 teaspoons of liquour could kill your cat. don’t do it. alcohol WILL poison your cat.
chocolate:
theobromine (and to a lesser degree, caffeine) is the issue with this one. humans? we can break this down in our bodies. cats, dogs, birds, ferrets? they can’t. it usually takes a pretty big amount of theobromine to cause a pet to actually die, though. it’s present in cocoa, so the higher % of cocoa in a chocolate, the less needs to be ingested to cause serious, life-threatening effects. baking chocolate has a high concentration of theobromine and 1 square can kill a cat or small dog. white chocolate is a low risk, on the other hand. chocolate CAN poison your cat, especially DARK and BAKING chocolate.
caffeine: same story as alcohol: not that great for humans either, causes similar effects as in humans… just quicker and with less caffeine ingested. elevated heartrate, seizures, etc. can be seen. dogs and cats are more sensitive to the effects than humans are. caffeine WILL poison your cat.
dairy: cats are lactose intolerant and so their bodies cannot properly break it down– much like how we can break down theobromine and cats/dogs can’t. however, it’s not going to poison your cat, just give them diarrhea and other gastrointestinal upset. dairy WILL NOT poison your cat, but will cause gastrointestinal upset and diarrhea, so it is strongly recommended to not give dairy products to your pets.
fat trimmings: fat trimmings are just fat. if you feed fat to your cats, they will become fat and/or it will increase the level of lipids in the blood, leading to diseases and complications like chronic pancreatitis, which can be fatal. fat trimmings WILL NOT poison your cat, but will lead to disease that can be fatal, so it is strongly recommended to not feed fat trimmings to any pets.
raw meat: cats can eat raw meat. cats are obligate carnivores. cats are designed to only eat meat, and raw meat is not of serious risk to them. disease carried in raw meat? not a problem when you are a cat who has evolved over millions of years to eat raw meat. i hate hearing “cats can’t eat raw meat!” from people with outdoor cats. you realise your cats are eating raw lizard and bird, right? raw meat has more nutrients than cooked meat (which we eat veggies & fruits to compensate for– cats can’t digest these) and, obviously, there are some diseases and bacteria that cats aren’t immune to but cats are less likely to eat rotten meat than dogs are, anyway. treat the meat like you treat human meat and it’s totally fine. cats are DESIGNED TO EAT AND DIGEST RAW MEAT! IT’S PERFECTLY FINE TO FEED YOUR CAT RAW MEAT, but make sure that the meat is in-date and properly stored/cared for. rotten or spoiled meat CAN lead to disease and poisoning, but the same goes for 90% of the animal population!
eggs: its ok to feed your cat eggs. im not even sure why this is a question. raw eggs rarely carry salmonella and even humans rarely contract salmonella from infected eggs. your average cat will never contract salmonella from raw eggs, only in an immuno-compromised cat would this ever be an issue. cats can safely eat raw and cooked eggs, as salmonella is pretty much only a concern in an immuno-compromised cat in the first place.
fish: see raw meat above. fish, however, is a bit of an exception because of higher levels of mercury & low levels of taurine and differing balances of phosphate and calcium mean that it’s not a sustainable diet for cats and could lead to mercury poisoning or bone disease if it is the only protein given. when given ~1 time a week and with varied proteins there is no issue. again, cats are DESIGNED TO EAT AND DIGEST FISH AND OTHER MEATS! however, previous warnings about storing fish correctly still applies, and proteins should be varied due to fish having different levels of phosphorous, calcium, and taurine and mercury content. a primary diet of fish CAN lead to bone disease or mercury poisoning in extreme cases.
grapes and raisins: admittedly, this one is a bit of a wild card. some pets eat raisins/grapes without an issue, but in others, these can cause renal failure and death rapidly. we still don’t know why. animals with prior kidney issues are more likely to be effected by grape/raisin toxicity, and cats are more likely to have kidney issues due to many cats not getting adequate moisture in their diet. grapes and raisins MAY lead to poisoning in some cats and dogs, especially those with pre-existing kidney conditions.
onions and garlic: yes! all members of the allium genus (shallots, scallions, leeks, etc. are included) contain thiosulphate which, when ingested by cats and dogs, can lead to a serious condition in the blood known as hemolytic anemia. basically: their red blood cells burst. this can be fatal and a small amount of onion/garlic/etc. is needed to cause clinically significant issues. onions, garlic, and other members of the allium genus CAN and WILL poison your pet in even small amounts.
tuna: see fish above. canned tuna tends to be soaked in oil which leads to the same issues as fat trimmings in increasing lipid count in the blood. sashimi quality tuna will also have higher concentration of mercury and shouldn’t be consumed more than occasionally in the cat’s diet. canned tuna in oil is often too fatty and leads to the same issues as eating fat trimmings, however, tuna steak/sashimi/etc. quality tuna is the same as other fish: occasional inclusion in the diet is fine!
xylitol: relatively small quantities of this (an artificial sweetener) will cause a sudden drop in blood sugar in dogs, which can lead to comas, seizures, or death. many times, if they are not rushed to the hospital immediately, they will die, and even then, they may suffer permanent liver damage. however… cats are not adversely affected, and typically aren’t attracted to foods w/xylitol in it in the first place. xylitol is NOT likely to poison your cat, but small amounts can KILL your dog, moreso than chocolate!
This is an important thing and you should read it.
The corrected information will save lives and time.
