Why people say they have a "boy cat" or a "girl cat" but when the cat grows up, they don't call is a "man cat" or "woman cat"?

    Same reason I refer to my 14-year-old dachshund as a puppy.

    Because he’s my puppy.

    my cat always acts like she’s a year old and is pretty small for a cat (we assume she’s the runt)
    when we got her the pound said 2 years old (info from previous owner) but when we took her to the vet we got told that she’s actually about 5

    She’s about 7-8 now and still looks just as adorable as when I got her!!

    edit: this image also shows her bent whisker that got messed up when she tried to stick her head in the food container as I was shutting it a couple weeks ago lol

    My friend had a a cat that as a human would have been a balding, neurotic man with a mustache and glasses. A very high strung cat tbh. His name was Mr. Pappy.

    Define “grow up”. Their personality changes with age but they remain fixated on their care giver(s) similar to children for as long as you let them.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
