[–]Ikimasen 5 points6 points ago

Once there was a thread. It AskedReddit "Reddit, what celebrity needs to come out?" And in the comments section, the top comment was Tom Cruise. The next highest comment, why, it was Tom Cruise as well! The Tom Cruise responses seemed to go on forever! And the responses to those comments, THEY were all Tom Cruise as well! Tom Cruises on and on in a Mandlebrot set of gay jokes.

[–]darkslide3000 1 point2 points ago

I wonder if reddit will still exist in 10 years, and will still have the running gag of occasionally going into Tom Cruise chain posts passed down through the generations, up to the point where no one can remember what it was all about anymore.

Then, another 10 years later, it becomes a religion...

My daughter, four years-old, was playing with her friend, a four year-old little boy at his house. I'm babysitting for his parents, and they have two small kittens.

My daughter is not the most graceful child, and when playing out of sight, is known to get in a fair share of trouble. When visiting this home, she has been known to be very rough with them (I have a picture of her where sometime between me starting to take the picture and finishing taking it, she goes from holding the kitten nicely to looking like she's strangling it, looking straight up evil, if that tells you anything). She and her friend have the kittens in his bedroom, where they were playing. I was in the living room, relaxing a bit, and out she comes with her friend. They both have the most fearful look on their faces. I've never seen her look so terrified and remorseful in my life.

"Mommy.... We're REALLY SORRY, we didn't mean to do it" (almost in tears)

I ask them what they are taking about but I keep getting really emotional "we're sorry, it was an accident!!" I get frustrated, demand an answer "WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO."

The meek response: "I accidentally cut the kitty's ear off."

I don't curse in front of my kid, or other people's kids, but I couldn't hold back the "WHAT THE FUCK!" as I darted to the bedroom, expecting to see this poor kitten, sitting in a pool of blood and its little ear sitting detached on the ground next to it. I was panicking very hard, to say the least.

Find the kitten (with two extremely nervous children cowering behind me), and I laughed. I turned back to them "I think I can fix it, but you have to promise to be VERY gentle with the kittens from now on" and I flip its ear back up. Their eyes got so big and the look of relief that took over their faces was absolutely priceless. And they were never mean to the cats again. Ever.

[–]snickles19 75 points76 points ago

i got scared for the kittens for a moment.

[–]Kitty_McBitty 12 points13 points ago

I read your comment first before WhatsAMaWhoosIT's post and I knew it was safe to continue.

[–]Arterius_N7 41 points42 points ago

The lesson from this, don't let little kids play with small animals (or at least baby animals like kittens, they aren't toys and that might not be something such small children understand), probably should have watched over that. Luckely nothing happend, but still.

[–]WhatsAMaWhoosIt 12 points13 points ago

You are right. I'd had both the kittens out with me, but the one always migrated toward the bedroom, where it liked to get up in their babies crib and nap for some reason. I hadn't noticed. After that, I had them shut the bedroom door to play to keep the cats out of the bedroom. I was always more afraid of them stepping on a hidden kitten with all the toys they'd drag out.

But again, you're right. This is why the only pet my daughter has is a goldfish :P

[–]kaiyotic 7 points8 points ago

trust me even that is not safe. A girl I used to go to school with told us stories about the things she did to her pets as a kid. and when she saw that her goldfish kept moving its fins she figured that the poor little thing must be in extreme pain. So she took a pair of scissors and cut off the fins.

[–]Evilllamas 2 points3 points ago

[–]WhatsAMaWhoosIt 1 point2 points ago

Oh my gosh that's awful. My little girl has done really well with the fish. It has a very large tank, with a locked down lid, and the light on it serves as a night light. She likes to watch the fish swim until she falls asleep at night. We've told her that the fish is her responsibility, and that it needs to eat once everyday, no more, and that it can't live out of its tank so don't take it out ever.

I try to be nice about it when I explain how to care for things to her, my husband is a bit more blunt about it. He told her if she doesn't take care of her fish he's going to feed it to his snake (which eats goldfish). She takes good care of her little fish because she doesn't want it to die or become snake food.

[–]kaiyotic 0 points1 point ago

oh wow, good thing you're teaching your girl how to care for animals. Sounds like it's doing her good and she's going to grow up just fine. By the way I got more of those animal horror stories from that girl I went to school with, as a kid she was somewhat of a psycho.

[–]WhatsAMaWhoosIt 0 points1 point ago

I think in the case with the kittens, she just wasn't used to animals and didn't know how to treat them. After that incident she sort of caught on. The person my friend got the kittens from has kids the same age and I heard about one of the kittens getting a door shut on its head and... It didn't end well or pretty apparently. She's grasping the concept that animals are living things and have to be treated well or she can't have them around. We have started her with the fish and may get her a few more in the near future if she keeps doing well with it.

[–]imfm 0 points1 point ago

Yay you! Happy little fish well taken care of, and little girl gets to be responsible and watch Fishie while she falls asleep. Your husband. Hmmm...well, if it works...?

[–]WhatsAMaWhoosIt 0 points1 point ago

My husband loves animals but especially loves all things that are creepy. When I met him he had the snake in a massive home-built terrarium with a tarantula. The tarantula lived a year longer than their typical lifespan, but after it died he got rid of the massive terrarium and we have the snake (its a water snake) in a smaller terrarium. My daughter isn't afraid to hold it or anything. I'm constantly scared it'll get loose, and the one time we thought it did my husband was extremely upset about it. He takes good care of his pets and expects the same from our kid (we both do).

Funny thing about the snake too... I think it's a tv junkie. Every time the tv gets turned on it pokes it's head up and faces the tv the ENTIRE time it's on without moving. He's watching Grandma's Boy right now.

[–]imfm 0 points1 point ago

Then yay your husband, too. Cute, cuddly critters have lots of people on their side, but creepy critters are interesting and beautiful if you look at them the right way. When someone tells me a bug or spider, or snake, or lizard, or whatever is "ugly" or "creepy", I just tell them that to another of his species, he might very well be adorable and probably thinks we're hideous.

Let the snake watch Star Trek and Stargate SG-1...bet he likes it!

[–]aron2295 1 point2 points ago

Some animals dont take very well to kids either. A lot Ive met seem to know somehow "This is a child, if I hurt it, I get in trouble" but theyre still animals and could hurt the kid too.

[–]ThisOpenFist 5 points6 points ago

Your terrified response is probably what set them straight.

Neither does mine. He just sits there looking all stupid for a while then the problem corrects itself.

I'm not sure if he doesn't really care or if he is too stupid to even notice.

[–]mayonesa 19 points20 points ago

Your cat is lonely and needs more of your attention.

Repeat after me:

Aren't you a beautiful kitty?

Aren't you the most beautiful kitty in the world?

You're just a beautiful kitty!

You're the most beautiful kitty in the whole world!

[–]mjp869 0 points1 point ago

i dont get it

[–]Christoffre 4 points5 points ago

I interpret "i dont get it" as you're not a cat owner. If you fold a cat ears backwards at a certain angle, you will hear a 'pop' and the cats ears are "locked" back-folded. This is done with the help of cartilage at the base of the ear. Cats can do this by themselves accidently if they are playing or rolling around.

The ears return to normal either by themselves after a while, or with help of a gently poke by either the owner or the cat.

[–]scrappy_dude 1 point2 points ago

It's not exclusive to cats. Other mammals with similar ears share the same problem

[–]mjp869 0 points1 point ago

i was just saying i dont get it because the post was called being single with a cat. i understand the concept of an ear folding back.

[–]Christoffre 0 points1 point ago

I think that the singel-joke is about that she have longed for some form of relationship a long time. This extended time of inability to fullfill her social need have slowly, but surely, corroded her mind. This derangement have led to the deviant mindset of her thinking that she can communicate with cats, and that they are her children.

But I might just over-interpret it.

[–]utterdamnnonsense 0 points1 point ago

TIL only humans have moms.

[–]VeryOldHero 0 points1 point ago

TIL Humans and cats are the same species.

[–]utterdamnnonsense 0 points1 point ago

It was the "emotions" part that got me. I'm not sure what believing someone/something is one's mom has to do with "human emotions." Just tugging though.

[–]Spaceball9 -4 points-3 points ago

This is my life. I need a girlfriend to fix my cats ear for me.
