It was bringing you your food and sharing it. Much more advanced than my cat which brings food neither one of us wants (giant spiders) and not eating it (it’s still alive and under my bed) and then shouting about it (please send a team to help extricate the arachnid)
Maybe the giant spiders are meant to be a way for you to learn to hunt, before graduating to actual food?
They could be meowing at you like a drill sergeant.
I love my cat, and if he did this, I would be absolutely flattered that he felt safe to eat a meal on top of me. Plus it’d be so freaking hysterical to wake up to such an absurd scenario you’d never expect to happen! One of those things you wish you got on video
My cat will carry his toys to me and drop them at my feet when he wants to play, for context.
True story. I woke.up wirh my.cat touching my face, like intentionally trying to wake me up, when I opened my eyes she droped a LIVE cockroach In my face. I guess she was trying to warn me or give me.a gift but that was traumatic
Bro that was traumatic to read. Please accept my condolences. I hope you will recover.
LOL. Our cats are just so thoughtful aren’t they?
lovely
Did you scream immediately? …the cockroach didn’t enter your mouth doesn’t it?
omg no!!! I did scream and jumped, and slaped the roach far away. Then my cat killed it and left a mess for me to clean
Username checks out :P
My cat wakes me up every night somewhere between 4 and 5 and asks for belly rubs. She goes back to sleep after 5-10 minutes.
My cat keeps waiting patiently till I open my eyes, and as soon as she notices Im awake she runs up to my head and starts rubbing her own head against my face. She gets so worked up she sometimes does little cartwheels.
Haha, nice!
She’s trained you well! And how can one say no to rubbing cat belly?
She certainly did!
Btw, I work from home and when she wants belly rubs, she comes to me and starts touching me with a paw. That’s how she asks for belly rubs when I’m sitting in my chair, haha. She’s obsessed with belly rubs!
As a cat owner, I’m obsessed with giving them belly rubs as well.
Cat tax?
My cat also prefers to eat when I’m nearby. I think it’s a comfort thing.
Eating as a family is often better than eating alone. Especially when you’re going to be sharing the food like cats do.
In the wild they are probably vulnerable when eating so maybe it’s for protection. I’m no expert though.
I recall reading that cats in the wild are considered semi-social, so while they usually don’t hunt together, they do like to eat and hang out together with animals they like during down time. You’re part of their in group.
The difference between a pet cat and a feral cat is that pet cats associate human interaction with being fed.
My cat is free feeding and does not get fed by humans. But sometimes he yells at me to follow him to his bowl so he can eat with me.
This is the cat’s way of telling you, “I am looking forward to consuming your flesh when you die in the house.”
Why was there pizza sitting out in the open unrefrigerated after they’d gone to bed? Seems gross.
Never ripped it so hard you stuff your face silly and pass out?
I actually haven’t, but I’m willing to stipulate that it happens
Save your stipulations for a more stipulative matter, I can verify it happens
i would also be willing to stipulate this
I’m also willing to stipulate that this happens. I have no experience with this. Definitely not. But I have a good feeling that other people have done this. But not me.
Someone skipped college years entirely it seems. Or just general adulthood in my case
Who said it wasn’t in the fridge? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
If it was, that cat deserves to eat it wherever the hell it wants.
I was floored when I learned that some people do this. It’s disgusting and a good way to accidentally eat botulism
Do you have a source on that? I’m pretty sure pizza does not go bad in 24h at room temp and normal humidity. While I agree that food safety is important not everything needs to be stored in fridge temperatures.
Well it depends on what one considers normal temperature and humidity I guess, now that I wrote this.
Anything cooked goes in the fridge or freezer, that’s something that everyone should be expected to know but humans are really good at proving how dumb they are. Thousands of people get sick every year from leaving food out in room temp. It’s not that it will always go bad quickly, it’s that the chance of that happening compared to keeping it in a colder environment is so much higher. And who the fuck likes sweaty room temp anything? It’s disgusting.
I guess people just fucking died before refrigeration…
And in regards to pizza: I mostly order pizza when hosting a party, so the fridge is full with other party stuff and at the end I’m tired anyways. Knowing that the leftovers will not survive the next 24h anyways it’s more convenient to just leave them covered by the pizza carton at room temp. Also I warm the pizza up anyways when I eat it.
Also sweaty? That’s actually something that happens when I leave certain stuff in the fridge because of condensation. I have more of a problem that it dries out outside the fridge. What climate are you living in? That could explain the difference in our world view.
Where the hell do you live where your environment will dry it out more than a fridge?!?
Midwest here, so that’s just not even a possibility haha.
Also yes, people did just simply die before refrigeration, or they used salt, holes on the ground, or any other way to keep certain foods cold and safe to eat.
Due to the way relative humidity works, most environments where the inside of the fridge is cooler than the outside should work like that. Cooler air has a lower water capacity than warmer air and all the air in your fridge came from outside of your fridge.
If humidity is very low, then temperature won’t make as much of a difference and you might see similar drying inside and out, at least as far as relative humidity is concerned. But with more light and higher temps outside the fridge, I’d still guess you’d see more drying outside the fridge.
Maybe it seems the other way because you allow food to sit longer inside the fridge than outside? Or, if you experience high humidity and fluctuating temperatures, maybe you see more condensation outside of the fridge?
Fridges are very good dehydrators due to the simple fact that their back wall is a giant condenser. It is always colder than air in the fridge, which forces moisture in the air to condense there, it then drips into the tray under the fridge and air inside gets dry. Dry air absorbs moisture from the food and the cycle continues.
This is why you store your fresh greens in covered plastic buckets, otherwise they will dry out very fast. And this is why dry curing meat in the fridge works really well. Also if you grow herbs or have excess and want to dry them, chop them, put on a tray and into the fridge, they will dry out in a day or two depending on how much you chopped.
Before refrigeration? They probably ate it all, because it was there.
No idea if it’s accurate, but I’m guessing they weren’t gorging themselves like one person vs. pizza would usually involve
I don’t think they tried to preserve leftovers, they simply ate it or gave the rest to the animals.
Honey
Salt
Sugar
Vinegar
Olive oil
Do you also store bread in the fridge?
Properly made bread has low moisture content and low pH. It’s basically a self preserving food, like pickles. But when you buy shit bread (which technically is a yeast flavoured cake, not bread) it will develop mould within a couple of days even with preservatives added.
I knew people who got drunk, woke up next day, and ate the pizza left out from the previous night for breakfast. Didn’t even heat it up. I don’t do it because bugs are opportunists.
No food should be left at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Especially carb rich food like pizza.
Er doesn’t botulism specifically develop in oxygen-free alkaline environments? Seems like it’s unlikely on a day old pizza left on the table…
Besides, I always leave pizza out for days before consuming it all. To be fair, this is mostly in the winter when the house is cooler. And I don’t eat meat.
a good way to accidentally eat botulism
Not particularly likely; Clostridium botulinum doesn’t like oxygen. Still a good way to get food poisoning of some sort, just probably not that particular sort
Hm, you’re right. I remember hearing that a long time ago and I guess I never disputed it.
Bro thinks there’s going to be leftovers the next day
I hope you never meet my family. Literally everyone aside from me just leaves leftover food in the pan/oven instead of putting it in the fridge. Sometimes for more than 24 hours (time depends on when I find it and put it in the fridge, because lord knows they won’t)
Yes I’ve yelled at them a million times and told them they’re ruining the food and risking health problems. No they don’t care.
I always wanted to be one of those nude models that have sushi served on them. That would be rad.
It would be so cold 🥶
Your most memorable comment yet in my eyes, Kolanak
High bar.

Well if that’s nyot aimori, I don’t know what is.
Saaaaaame.
Power move
Poor kitty wanted a warm pizza andthis was the only way it knew how. Get a cat-operated microwave now.
He wanted to ask permission 🥺
He wanted to share too lol
Maybe the cat was a Japanese businessman in a former life.
I Was A Businessman But I Was Reborn in Another World As A Pizza Stealing Cat?!?
I think I saw that on Crunchyroll
At least it was pizza from their own kitchen and not something they found outside.
I have a hunch that this cat was roleplaying that he killed a big ape and was now eating it.
"You see this, human? Good. Now go clean my poop corral.
The cat is being merciful by only eating your pizza. Make sure it is always well fed.
