As someone who has lived with cats for most of his life, that’s basically a picture of a very brave person standing in a giant blender
It’s all fun and games until the cat gets fed up and this turns into an “I’m not locked in here with you, you’re locked in here with me” scenario. Especially with bare legs.
Yeah, I’d be wearing jeans and my canvas jacket.
Learn for all! Wait until its summer and super hot. Cats, like us, dont like being super hot. Then casually bring the cat into the bathroom with the door remaining open (so it can leave it it wants). Now start petting the cat. Cats like pets. After 5 pets, wet a rag with cool freshing temp water. Pet the cat gently with the wet rag once in a while once petting. The distraction of the pets, plus the cooling effect of the water create a positive response. Ive done this with two cats and both ended up loving the shower so much theyd jump in with you if you didnt shut the door. Classical conditioning is op.
Halp???
sound a pet makes when it’s yapping for help
Big Badaboom!
Cheekan good.
I’ve found it’s the sound of water that freaks them out. Poor baby is just nervous. Next time fill a bathtub partially with warmish water, don’t let the cat near while it’s running. Once it’s off bring in dirty kitty and let them stand in the water, then gently pour the water over them with a cup or something. My cats all love this, only had to do it once to my void when she got covered in shit as a kitten. But my tuxedo needs them once every few months because he gets crazy stinky and isn’t the best groomer.
What the hell kind of comments are in this thread? Trolls?
No, this is pretty much how humans are.
ITT: debating whether this is animal abuse and also whether the right pussy is getting wet.
Reddit moment
That’s the wrong pussy I want to see getting wet…
Can someone explain to me what makes people need to publicly express their sexual urges? Like, what do you get from this comment? It’s not like it’s going to get you laid. The only effect it has is making people who have no interest in knowing about your turgidity know about your turgidity.
I don’t think I’ve ever said something like this as a thinly veiled form of screaming “I AM HORNY, SOMEONE DO ME”. If that’s what I’m feeling and want someone to know, I might go with something like “dude I need a wingman tonight” which essentially reveals the same information.
I make sex related jokes, engage in wordplay, and puns, because it’s funny.
And yes, you can include that stuff in the process of courtship, but if sex is the goal, sooner or later you’re gonna have to make your intentions clear and ask. But no part of sex-humor requires the people making the joke or laughing at it, be horny.
Beyond that… People just like telling other people how they feel? We broadcast literally every emotion we experience, how repressed do you have to be to consider doing the same with arousal to be in bad taste?
OP’s comment is also part of the systematic objectification of women - especially considering the post isn’t remotely porn - so there’s also that.
This isn’t funny. It’s weird and creepy and makes people the object of a bad joke who shouldn’t have to deal with that.
We broadcast literally every emotion we experience, …
We do not. Not all the time, not in every situation.
Hey, I say I want to fuck Henry Cavil and I’m a guy. I’d drop to my knees so fast for him. I’m an equal objectifier.
Yeah, same with Ryan Reynolds.
So if I joke about sometimes eating too much, am I now promoting the mistreatment of the obese?
While people everywhere have to deal with BS they shouldn’t need to, women among them, I can’t see how this particular sex-joke is one of those things.
Humans are sexual, it drives us and fascinates us. That’s a biological fact. It’s as intrinsic to most of us as hunger and sleepyness.
We all get to joke about it. When we look at something, and our brain goes “lol sex”, we say it out loud because it’s really damn funny how often the human brains of the people we are with did the same thing. And even if it didn’t, saying it makes it do it and it’s still funny.
Fine, you didn’t think it was funny. That’s ok.
Getting mad at everyone who does, without serious evidence of how the particular instance does damage to someone, isn’t.
Yes. The jokes that demean people’s personhoods exist, and they should be put down. But I don’t see how “person attracted to gender enjoys seeing arousal in organs of that gender” is one of those.
We do not. Not all the time, not in every situation.
Obviously. But we can. Since when is it ok to tell others they don’t get to do that?
Of course, no one’s taking their clothes off to have sex in public, but you don’t get to having sex in private, either, without the process of finding someone to do it with. Which to a greater or lesser extent, has to take place in public.
Since when is it ok to tell others they don’t get to do that?
I didn’t. What I did say, in summary, was that it’s a shitty thing to do in this case, and in so many others so very much like it. You are completely free to do shitty things, and I am completely free to call those things shitty.
But I don’t see how “person attracted to gender enjoys seeing arousal in organs of that gender” is one of those.
It’s a constant drumbeat, an ever-present thing around every corner. Even in a mildly amusing picture of a cat posted to a “funny” forum.

I know it wasn’t intentional. But this is a sex joke. I can’t stop laughing at how spot-on this is as a description of the human sex drive.
On a more serious note, it sounds like you simply don’t find this stuff funny. There’s nothing wrong with that. But unless you can explain how a particular joke contributes to the hardships of someone, you can’t just denounce it for simply not being your kind of funny.
If your argument for why this type of humour is harmful, is simply that it’s everywhere, perhaps re-think why that is? You’re not even making a point about this particular joke, you’re simply claiming that the ubiquity of the subject of sex itself is bad? How does that make sense?
Are sex jokes making people think about it all the time?
Or is the omnipresence of sex in the human experience making people joke about it all the time?
I got a strange feeling you’re a guy who is just assuming you know what’s best for women.
Because I disapprove of “jokes” that objectify people? This particular “joke” is clearly about women (mainly, also other people with vaginas), hence my more specific opinion above. But I don’t think that sexually objectifying anyone is “funny.”
I think you’re getting backlash because you don’t know what “objectification” means.
Man assuming he knows how women feel about a joke, hence objectifying them in the process, got it
You’re one of billions of people on this planet… who cares what you think. I didn’t write that in the hopes I would approval from Nougat!
Can someone explain to me what makes people need to publicly express their sexual urges?
Sure! 😀
They’re not expressing their sexual urges, rather making light humour around something we all do (sex) and the common ground we all have with it. Like how we all poop, so comments about common experiences or preferences for pooping are a common ground for everyone, regardless of differences
Like, what do you get from this comment? It’s not like it’s going to get you laid.
Wh-…what? This just got weird…
The only effect it has is making people who have no interest in knowing about your turgidity know about your turgidity.
Why is your brain going here?
And “turgidity”? Are you like me and was raised in a super oppressive religious environment, taught to lash out in angst at any common discourse of sexual nature? Shaming anyone for who they are because it doesn’t align with your ideals of how you want everyone to be?
Give me a stone, I’ll cast the opener. Let’s get this fucking weirdo! How DARE they be that way!!!
something we all do (sex)
Hahahahahahahahaha
😭😭😭
This isnt getting you laid either chief
Its just a random sex joke. Nobody is addressed, nobody is put down. Just a dirty pun.
It is an obnoxiously brain-dead, bland and overused joke, though. So much so that it can easily be understood as a staple of some stereotypes.
So don’t laugh and scroll on. Maybe even downvote if you want. That’s what it’s there for.
Yes, I do those things. There is also an option to comment, with opinions allowed, including both supporting and opposing types. I do this, too.

Excellent comeback. Not my comment, nor about what I continue the thread with, though.
nobody us addressed
they’re literally referring to the girl in the photo
How so? It is a pun about the (pussy)cat getting wet.
Tbf, “the wrong pussy” does imply that he’d rather see the other pussy (in her pants) get wet rather than the one that is getting wet (the cat).
That said I’m still on the “it was just a joke” side. You can only see her legs and being a meme she’s unlikely OP, it isn’t like he said “I’d rather see Alice here in the picture get wet,” it’s clearly just “hehe pun” and the pun was dirty.
Honestly I didn’t even realize that is a woman, I thought a teenager at best. Not sure why I thought so, but it didn’t occur to me to see her in that context.
Well, I suppose in this case “female” actually may be appropriate if we’re worrying about the age of the individual pictured, because of course it is literally impossible to determine this person’s age (or gender tbf) from this photo.
Jokes on you we are on our way to @grobmobularb@lemmy.world s place now
Because it’s funny…
Don’t be so uptight. Learn to find humor in the world. Everyone is such a fucking cry baby about everything nowadays. I didn’t type that out in any way to think I’m gonna get laid from a random picture on the internet.
Fuck me sideways….
I’ll ask your mom when I see her tonight. I met her online when I publically announced I was horny AF.
That’s abuse
You’ve never had a cat get covered in dirt or sprayed by a skunk, have you?
Sometimes bath time is very much needed, even if the cat may disagree
I wash my cat once in a while because she doesn’t do a good job of keeping herself clean.
You don’t use the shower for that and you don’t make it a slow and agonizing process
My cat responds far better to the shower than to a sink or wet rags. The sink is the only time she’s ever actually tried to claw at me, the shower she’ll go into and sit around while I gently spray her down, but she will look like this if I’m not done in a few minutes, because she’s young and hates being confined for any noticeable length of time.
I’ve had multiple cats that would just come chill in the shower with you. They have varied personalities.
yeah most cats fear running water
(but tbf if your cat has a fear of water in general there’s not much you can do)
This is the same as a kid enduring a vaccination. The adults know what’s happening.
Except that we generally don’t think that the kid’s fear and crying is “Funny”. At least I don’t.
Well hopefully the cat doesn’t read this post.
You clearly don’t have kids.
Bathing your pet is abuse? What?
Look at the cat in the photo, that is not a happy cat
