[–]WubU2 40 points41 points ago

"Pet me dammit!" is the most upvoted title.. ಠ_ಠ

[–]mekwall 5 points6 points ago

Actually, the most upvoted one is I hate cats...but d'awwww.

[–]Why_So_Stick 6 points7 points ago

thats not exactly the same gif though...

[–]meliaesc 0 points1 point ago

Completely different!

[–]Z0idberg_MD 5 points6 points ago

I'll upvote no matter what it's called or how many times I see it...

[–]SgtChancey 0 points1 point ago

Tits...tits...tits...tits... They're all different but all the same!!!!

[–]SilverElement 0 points1 point ago

Upvote the user linking past reposts, downvote the OP

[–]laller 8 points9 points ago

I sit 14 hours a day at Reddit and surprisingly I've never seen it!

[–]AmalgamatedMan 7 points8 points ago

Which is exactly why reposts shouldn't be downvoted.

[–]guy_fleegman 1 point2 points ago

But it's still cute.

[–]xZimnii 1 point2 points ago

Mother of re-posts...

[–]Versatyle07 -2 points-1 points ago

I'm callin dibs on reposting the repost next, k guys?

[–]seanbob 2 points3 points ago

shutup

[–]NotDeadJustSlob 1 point2 points ago

TIL the majority of reddit posts go against reddiquette. Also some rules are contradictory.

[–]jeswealotu 0 points1 point ago

Anybody else notice the highest rated titles had slight sexual connotations that offered the possibility of erotic payoff if you clicked the link? Interesting creatures we are.

[–]Gromacs 0 points1 point ago

That's pretty average as far as creatures go.

[–]Kuusou -1 points0 points ago

So what you are saying, is that rehab980 set a new record? Nice...

[–]geoff422 1 point2 points ago

I've never seen it before, but fuck me right? I guess I'll just go fuck myself.

[–]HillTopTerrace -4 points-3 points ago

THIS ONE MADE IT. YOU MADE IT BRO!

[–]OneCello -3 points-2 points ago

You, evidently, did not.

[–]Blizzard01 -3 points-2 points ago

Awesome dude! You are the coolest redditor of this thread!

But you know what? I had not seen this gif before! So... FU and your studpid I'm smart karmadecay crap :)

Regards,

[–]Caserio 39 points40 points ago

When I've been petting my cat and decide to stop, if she wants more she will reach out and paw at my hand before I can get away. I can't help but resume when she does it.

[–]MountainDewMe 8 points9 points ago

My dog will make the strangest noise between a whimper and a bark.

[–]davedave666 10 points11 points ago

My cat will lick me. If I don't pet him still, he will then proceed to bite, claw, and meow until I pet him.

[–]fail_girl 0 points1 point ago

I guess he decided vinegar was more effective than honey. :P

[–]Stormageddon222 2 points3 points ago

When I'm on the computer my cat will tap my shoulder with her paw. If I don't het her immediately, she does it again, but this time with claws out.

[–]Arcon1337 0 points1 point ago

Plz film this.

[–]ADD_attack 1 point2 points ago

Plz dolan

[–]ClubhouseGuy 0 points1 point ago

sounds like a job for bogs

[–]Caserio 1 point2 points ago

I'll bet that would score me some serious karma huh... I'll see what I can do.

[–]chem_monkey 1 point2 points ago

My cat actually pulls my hand back to her head. Or if I'm not petting her yet, she pokes me until I acknowledge her. I'm really glad I conditioned that into her, especially for her 6am cuddletime.

[–]rocknameded 15 points16 points ago

Excuse me, I need pets please.

[–]rewision 5 points6 points ago

You can always get free kittens/cats! Just look for a local shelter or browse for notices :)

[–]Xenochrist 6 points7 points ago

I think he was just speaking in the position of the kitty but regardless kitties always need homes and they are so loveable!

[–]rewision 5 points6 points ago

... Well now I feel dumb.

[–]Xenochrist 0 points1 point ago

No need to, its still a good message to give out! You could have done far worse and maybe this will encourage someone to check the resources to find a kitty.

Or I could be wrong too.

[–]GrizzlyBearrr 2 points3 points ago

Or check the local dumpsters, fields, the occasional backyard and wherever else /r/aww usually "rescues" their pets from.

[–]analogorithm 0 points1 point ago

If you need to find those places you got to head over to /r/karmaconspiracy, they know all about getting to the bottom of stuff.

[–]Tehadam 31 points32 points ago

Dont care if repost, still cute and polite as fuck.

[–]swyck 16 points17 points ago

Yeah, if we didn't have reposts I'd never see half this stuff.

[–]saumuribiz 5 points6 points ago

I really think redditors should calm down about the re-post thing! Many of the coolest things Ive seen on Reddit have been claimed a re-post. something else they need to pay attention to, is that not all redditors are from one half of the world, basically many things could happen on reddit while I'm asleep in the other side of the world & I love re-posts for that!

[–]Giant_Badonkadonk -3 points-2 points ago

And the fact that the website is called reddit (read it), the name implies that reports are almost the point of this website.

[–]ihatefuckeverything 1 point2 points ago

Think of all the stuff that you aren't seeing because a repost is taking up the front page

[–]analogorithm 0 points1 point ago

I agree with your sentiment, and I like your attitude, but this has been posted once a month for the past six months, and probably even longer than that. If someone reposts something from a year ago, I welcome the fact that it took them so long to get around to reposting, but this example is quite ridiculous. I guess it doesn't matter if it's a repost or not, cute cat + cute girl = karma everytime.

[–]IamBabcock 0 points1 point ago

Once a month is not that often. Not everyone visits reddit hourly. I'm betting there is a shit ton I miss every month because I don't live on reddit. When EVERYONE has seen it, it will stop getting upvotes. Until then just move along and find something you haven't seen.

"Pardon me m'am, but might I trouble you for a teaspoon of snuggles?"

[–]savoritzoriginal 5 points6 points ago

Here's what I don't understand. If it's a repost and you've already seen it, don't upvote it.

If you haven't seen it before and like it, upvote it.

If enough people haven't seen it, then they will upvote it and it will get to the top.

In other words, quit your bitchin!

[–]Kyle-Overstreet 0 points1 point ago

I think the problem is it was posted again 3 hours ago. The more recent post is closer to the front page right than this one is.

[–]ArduinoUno 1 point2 points ago

aww should be renamed to massively-reposted-pictures.

*spelling.

[–]Eleazar_1002 1 point2 points ago

I can has repost?

[–]thebakedpotatoe -1 points0 points ago

yes you can

[–]docdnae -2 points-1 points ago

Thank you. I am so annoyed by those who feel the need to point out a repost. The only time it bothers me is when someone pretends it is their original submission; otherwise, I don't care.

[–]IamBabcock -3 points-2 points ago

I've just decided I'm going to post that link to every person who decides to mention it. Not like they care. The only reason for pointing out a repost is to basically say "Hey, I'm more on top of things than other people because I've already seen this because I'm so awesome."

[–]SLeepdepD 0 points1 point ago

My cat does this same thing

[–]sprkng 0 points1 point ago

My cat started doing this too. It was cute for a few months..

[–]trumancatpote -1 points0 points ago

My cat does this all the time. Freaked me out the first time.

[–]Ranzero 1 point2 points ago

Ohmygosh that is just too cute. He/she was so polite.

[–]StoryGopher 1 point2 points ago

When my cat is really happy and content he reaches up a paw and softly strokes my face. Its very touching.

[–]hhunterhh 1 point2 points ago

Cat you have failed me. Get the other hand next time.

[–]Scyevil 0 points1 point ago

By far my favorite cat gif!

[–]UnseenAlchemist 0 points1 point ago

Haha my cat does this too.

[–]brussels4breakfast 0 points1 point ago

My dog does this too. He paws at me until I give him attention.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Look at those ears! That cat looks scared and evil.

[–]Elandril 0 points1 point ago

In fact, he is thinking : "I wanted food, bitch!"

[–]apholmes -1 points0 points ago

OP has a good title, hence all the upvotes.

[–]whattheactualderp 0 points1 point ago

Hey, Hey you. Pet me!!!

[–]Eighthsin 0 points1 point ago

Wish my cat was this polite... I'll be in the middle of a dark dungeon on a game, and that's when he decides to quietly come up behind me and plop in my lap...

[–]GI_Jesus 0 points1 point ago

That's the most feminine looking cat I've ever seen

[–]eternalsap 0 points1 point ago

I have never been a cat person BUT this video is JUST TOO DAMN ADORABLE!!! That face!!! The way its ears are folded!!! And the way it was seeking attention! xD

[–]Bekah410 0 points1 point ago

My cat does that too! So cute!

[–]wtf_is_an_reddit 0 points1 point ago

My dad taught his cat how to do this. Classical conditioning at it's finest. She comes up to anyone now and pokes at their arm lightly a few times, wanting to be pet. She usually continues to do this until you push her away or pet her. Usually I just pet her, because it's adorable.

[–]AndyFisher71 -1 points0 points ago

How can you resist those eyes??

[–]TorqueBandit 0 points1 point ago

Report to the MAX!

[–]roinntsoith -1 points0 points ago

My cat does this same thing and somehow this cat does it infinitely cuter.

[–]Drawtaru -1 points0 points ago

My dog does this to me.

[–]larogue 1 point2 points ago

Hes got angry ears

[–]DeepRoot 0 points1 point ago

He looks like a Scottish Fold cat. Besides, could he really have been angry after getting exactly what he asked for?

[–]Shortrose1234 0 points1 point ago

This is adorable!

[–]diggingtrash -1 points0 points ago

That's the cutest thing ever.

[–]newwaydevil 0 points1 point ago

So is reddit all in agreement? No matter how many times this is reposted it goes to the front page, all who agree say aye!

[–]ketchum1313 0 points1 point ago

Japanese chins (type of dog) do this I have one its sooooo cute

[–]lauribird 0 points1 point ago

Darn it, I want to up vote more than once!!!

[–]TheMinister2811 0 points1 point ago

Excuse me, but I think this is a repost.

http://karmadecay.com/i.imgur.com/A5bru.gif

[–]thebakedpotatoe -3 points-2 points ago

And your point?

[–]psychelicious 0 points1 point ago

"dooit, dooit, dooit".

[–]Intara 0 points1 point ago

Too cute! What breed is the cat?

[–]emmas_reddit 5 points6 points ago

Scottish Fold! I want one! :]

[–]Intara 1 point2 points ago

Me too!! Are their ears always like that? I love it! Haha

[–]TehWRYYYYY 1 point2 points ago

Yep. Its a mutation. Gives them the name

[–]emmas_reddit 1 point2 points ago

They can be born with straight ears, but change later on! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Fold

I think they are expensive to adopt, but I'm determined to get one! :]

[–]qotsa73 0 points1 point ago

Yep he's a Scottish Fold. Their ears are like that. :)

[–]mekwall 2 points3 points ago

Their ears are like that due to a gene defect. Sadly, this also makes them more susceptible to polycystic kidney disease and cardiomyopathy.

[–]Xenochrist 0 points1 point ago

As someone who grew up with 2 Scottish Folds, one had a heart murmur and died at 12. The other died of kidney failure at age 17. So they still do live long!

[–]wrong_assumption 0 points1 point ago

But they're polite, Dr. Kittehouse!

[–]chub_man -1 points0 points ago

Cutest thing I have ever seen

[–]Love4TheNugg -1 points0 points ago

It's so cute I can't even watch it.

[–]elchupanibre5 1 point2 points ago

My cat does this all the time while i'm working. It can be frustrating sometimes, but it's damn cute.

[–]iamnotfromtexas90 -1 points0 points ago

[–]wappleby 1 point2 points ago

Excuse me, no more reposts please.

[–]TheNegativeEnt -2 points-1 points ago

This place has more re-posts than /r/trees.

[–]thebakedpotatoe -1 points0 points ago

Maybe Reddit isn't the place for you if you don't like reposts.

[–]TheNegativeEnt -1 points0 points ago

That's just dumb.

[–]thebakedpotatoe -2 points-1 points ago

How is it dumb? This is legitimately the first time i've seen this picture, If reposts weren't allowed ((And in the Reddiquette, Even encouraged)) i wouldn't have gotten to see it.

Complaining about reposts does nothing to stop them. So why do you complain?

[–]TheNegativeEnt 0 points1 point ago

That's like saying "if you don't like car accidents, maybe driving isn't for you"...I'm not really complaining, I made an observation.

[–]thebakedpotatoe 0 points1 point ago

Car accidents will still happen regardless of whether you drive or not.

Same with reposts, They'll happen whether you like them or not.

And why make an observation on the obvious? i'd say 90% of reddit is repost's, this is a bullshit number of course, i'm just using it as an example.

Pointing it out does nothing but allow people to jump on the "Reposts are bad mmmkay" bandwagon.

[–]TheNegativeEnt 0 points1 point ago

I'd just downvote me and move on, to be honest, you're just feeding the fire.

[–]White_Luigi -1 points0 points ago

you're such a negative ent :(

[–]IamBabcock -1 points0 points ago

Words of wisdom that you might attempt the next time you feel obligated to observe a repost.

[–]TheNegativeEnt 0 points1 point ago

As a rule, I don't take my own advice.

This is the one repost that I can never bring myself to downvote.

[–]asldkfououhe -4 points-3 points ago

my experience is the cat does that and then when you try to pet the cat, they run away

cats are loathsome

[–]0cacophobia0 0 points1 point ago

I have only been on Reddit for a few months and have seen this at least 5 times. Stop making cute kitten antics boring by reposting 8000 times!

[–]lostpatrol -4 points-3 points ago

The youtube vid of this is longer, and better.

[–]Noel91 1 point2 points ago

Link for lazy?

[–]TaintedSquirrel 0 points1 point ago

Is this specific to the breed? I have a Scottish Fold who does the same thing.

[–]qotsa73 0 points1 point ago

My Ragdoll mix does it too! So sweet.

[–]x_x_x_x_x -4 points-3 points ago

I am seeing this for the umpteenth time, but I will still upvote it because I love Scottish folds and hot girls!

[–]Imwatchingyou69 -3 points-2 points ago

I don't care if it's been reposted a million times, it's still adorable!

[–]pikachu_THUNDERQUEEF -1 points0 points ago

This is adorable! My dog does the same thing, only when I'm eating. He will sneak up and softly start patting my arm.

[–]Ted_From_Accounting -1 points0 points ago

repost a million times, downvote.

[–]IamBabcock -2 points-1 points ago

You have been downvoted, as requested.

[–]Ted_From_Accounting 1 point2 points ago

I had a beagle that would do this. If you pulled your hand away from his belly he'd use his paw to drag it back then whine until you continued.
