[–]skullk1d 0 points1 point ago

Those are the second scariest pair of eyes I've seen, right after my baby cousins life-sized porcelain doll.

[–]Astraea89[S] 59 points60 points ago

Her name is Willow and here are more pics of her!

[–]cherryfizz 12 points13 points ago

If she had a little white tuft of fur on her chest she'd be a dead ringer for our cat, Mia.

[–]Astraea89[S] 7 points8 points ago

You're right! However, my cat weirdly does not like bags.

[–]mleah 4 points5 points ago

Never seen a cat love a toaster so much. Must make breakfast interesting.

[–]Astraea89[S] 6 points7 points ago

Toasters and pizza boxes are her soul mates.

[–]mleah 5 points6 points ago

I officially love her.

[–]mrwynd 1 point2 points ago

You have a black kitty like my Shar

[–]cherryfizz 0 points1 point ago

Dawwww!!! Yeah, Daisy is a bit crazy though. ;)

[–]cherryfizz 0 points1 point ago

[–]fuckshitwank 0 points1 point ago

The cat smile in the second picture: aww. Looks like she's dreaming she's playing guitar.

[–]Astraea89[S] 1 point2 points ago

Yes, I have a tendency to make names like that. My other cat is Zeus the Moose with a Caboose or Zeusy Moosey for short.

[–]hahagato 0 points1 point ago

Oh I feel you! I call my cat Remi "rims mims buh-mins" and I have at least thirty names for my cat Gato. None rhyming though :-/ ok, maybe I'm not so good with the names. Lol

[–]domesticus 1 point2 points ago

Awesome cat!

[–]headtotoe 1 point2 points ago

What a gorgeous cat!

[–]ChrisInNJ 27 points28 points ago

[–]Astraea89[S] 13 points14 points ago

Me too! I didn't think cats' eyes could get that big until I saw her do it.

P.S. I'm in NJ, too! Hope you're enjoying the snow if you've got any where you are (:

[–]Mantis05 5 points6 points ago

Twist: Chris isn't in NJ.

[–]daxattacks 12 points13 points ago

Laser pointers:

Not sure if providing needed exercise or instilling horrible obsessive compulsive disorder.

[–]ldlock 17 points18 points ago

That. Is. Adorable.

[–]weezlsootmouth 9 points10 points ago

[–]Astraea89[S] 1 point2 points ago

I think they must be long lost siblings...

[–]Wikkisha 10 points11 points ago

Lasers are a fun toy for cats, but you've got to remember that 'their play time' is still 'faux hunting time'. Cat's like to feel achievement just like us. They don't get that from a laser, they like to catch the object you're using to play with them. They also like to feel it move under their paws like real prey would.

I don't think they are a replacement for a tangible toy such as a mouse on a string etc.

[–]BasedShawn 4 points5 points ago

Pretty sure playing with the laser too much made my cat a psychopathic maniac.

[–]Astraea89[S] 5 points6 points ago

Don't worry, she has tons of little mice and such. And she hunts all the bugs that are unfortunate enough to get into the house.

[–]GregLoire 4 points5 points ago

She looks terrified, as if weighing whether it would be worthwhile to try negotiating with it.

[–]zachpnnc 6 points7 points ago

At first i thought it said tazers, and i thought you were a horrible person then i re-read it and i lol'd.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

Don't tase me, human bro.

[–]titansballs 10 points11 points ago

Letting your cat chase lasers too much can be psychologically damaging. The reason for this is the natural predator in them, unable to ever actually catch the laser, begins to question its ability as a hunter and can result in depression.

[–]Astraea89[S] 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for letting me know! We don't use the laser too much because she clearly gets very worked up. However, the pile of cricket remains on my floor every other day lets me know she's still a pretty good hunter!

[–]iMorph 2 points3 points ago

[–]FishOfPlenty 1 point2 points ago

Why human? Why? Why torture me with this lovely laser? Do you like seeing me like this?

Whyyyy!

[–]Detry 1 point2 points ago

She looks like she is contemplating the meaning of life.

[–]RockinSocks 1 point2 points ago

"Why won't you let me love you?"

[–]anonni-mus 1 point2 points ago

Aweee! She has puss n boots eyes going on!

[–]im_zewalrus 1 point2 points ago

She's got shark feeding-frenzy eyes

[–]ThatSwellGentleman 0 points1 point ago

They don't love the lasers... They think they're evil red fairies from an alternate dimension attempting to suck the life force out of them.

I love that expression! So adorable!

I didn't know demons could now possess cats.

[–]Deathtrip 1 point2 points ago

HA! I live on the east coast, and after Sandy hit my area, I had no power for about a week and a half. The majority of my time at night was spent playing with my cat and a laser pointer. The fun is endless.

[–]Astraea89[S] 1 point2 points ago

We lost power for 5 days from Sandy, I can't imagine a week and a half! My cats became interested in trying to eat the flames of the candles and then becoming extremely offended when burnt.

Your kitty is so incredibly adorable.

[–]Astraea89[S] 1 point2 points ago

Thanks! I tried letting her know that she was on the front page of r/aww but she's not letting it go to her head.

I once got my gf's cat to jump to the ceiling chasing a laser. True story.

[–]wintercast 0 points1 point ago

For some reason, this makes me think of the lion king when simba is learning to pounce. Eyes big, ears flat.

can i say something? AWWWWW

[–]MyTime -2 points-1 points ago

My cat's eyes get this big when she's ready to play.

[–]snowbirdie 0 points1 point ago

So does every single living creature. It's basic response to have pupils dilate when in stressful situations like hunting or being chased. This is common knowledge.

[–]MyTime 0 points1 point ago

Hah, thanks Dr. Reddit. You're a joy. Go play in the snow now.

[–]Cynikal818 -1 points0 points ago

your cat definitely got into your stash of acid, man
