if you look closely you can see its not a cat

[–]CaseyG 38 points39 points ago

You get what you pay for.

[–]_catfacts 3 points4 points ago

As is

[–]carbonari_sandwich 0 points1 point ago

What kind of cat mileage am I looking at here?

[–]aqualityusername 0 points1 point ago

about 25,000 give or take I just brought it in to get the oil changed and its up to date with all of its inspections.

[–]suckyou 18 points19 points ago

if you look even closer, you can see it's not free.

[–]CaseyG 15 points16 points ago

It's not a statement, it's a protest. FREE CAT* NOW!

*MAY NOT ACTUALLY BE CAT

[–]TrollKy 1 point2 points ago

Poor Colby, never forget.

[–]Ceejae 1 point2 points ago

Didn't he murder like 27 toddlers? What exactly do you see as good about toddler murder?

[–]CaseyG 2 points3 points ago

Those toddlers were all armed and charging straight towards him. In a straight line. From that wall where they were all found dead and blindfolded.

[–]Ceejae 1 point2 points ago

Ahh, self defense. I'm convinced. I'm jumping on the Free Cat* Now campaign bandwagon.

[–]ListerStorm569 1 point2 points ago

I'll let our spokesman Tweek answer that question.

[–]question_all_the_thi 1 point2 points ago

Free cat. Keep opossum in cage.

[–]RocketRedRocket 0 points1 point ago

Enhance...

[–]brettmjohnson 32 points33 points ago

I shall call him "Bitey".

[–]ironfortified 7 points8 points ago

I had a pet opossum we got when his mother was killed. His name was Possy. We would build him Possy City in the sandbox and he would run through tunnels having a grand time. They don't get bitey until they're older and even then they're pretty docile. Ugly as hell though.

[–]enterfunnynamehere 0 points1 point ago

Weird. As soon as I saw the picture I thought that his name should be Bitey. Is that a quote from something? Or maybe we have the same brain waves.

[–]atreydrew 15 points16 points ago

FREE HAT!!!!

[–]EvengerX 3 points4 points ago

[–]Jumped_On_That 1 point2 points ago

He killed those babies in self defense.

[–]sendhelp 13 points14 points ago

In reference to calling possums cats, I always thought this was hilarious (repost of a repost of a repost). http://cdn.ebaumsworld.com/picture/drummingcraig/possum.jpg

[–]Whyareyoufollowingme 1 point2 points ago

Came for this. Thank you for thinking the same thoughts as me.

[–]rangerdanger550 15 points16 points ago

Clearly this deserves to be posted in r/WTF with NSFW and NSFL tags.

[–]Living_Dead_Girl 10 points11 points ago

I'm always disappointed by NSFW tags. I think nudity should be tagged NSFW and gore should be tagged NSFL so we can distinguish a difference between the two so you don't get surprised when you're expecting one or the other.

[–]tofagerl 1 point2 points ago

I think nudity should be tagged nudity.

[–]Living_Dead_Girl 4 points5 points ago

Well, there needs to be something that distinguishes nudity from gore, because I'm tired of clicking on NSFW-tagged links and they aren't what I expected.

[–]Rinbasa 7 points8 points ago

Is it just me, or DAE want a pet opossum?

[–]demars10 20 points21 points ago

just get a bansaw they take your fingers off cleaner

[–]fdtc_skolar 0 points1 point ago

Possums have the most teeth of any North American mammal, 52.

[–]Rinbasa -1 points0 points ago

Best. Reply. Ever.

[–]stillnotking 6 points7 points ago

They only live a couple of years, are extremely stupid, will get into literally every item of food in your home (chewing/digging if they have to), are solitary with no interest in human interaction, and if startled, they emit an incredibly noxious substance from their anal glands. Live with one for a few days, and trust me, you won't want it as a pet.

Source: my family once rehabilitated an injured opossum when I was a kid.

[–]Rinbasa 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, I've done that several times. I never seem to mind the smell, but the rest of my family does.

[–]zt666 0 points1 point ago

You clearly just didn't meet the right possum.

[–]Coney_Island_Hentai 0 points1 point ago

Tons of them around here, looks cute but not so nice.

Cutest when you find mommy opussum with all the babies on her back.

[–]cwncool 1 point2 points ago

I actually had multiple pet possums when I was I kid. We had them since they were still pink and hairless though, straight from their (dead) mother's pouch. They were quite tame and domesticated, and pretty fun to hang out with. Never got sprayed with stink, and they actually never even "played dead" out of fear like most wild possums do. As free-range house pets, they roamed about (mostly at night), nibbled on toes, explored, and ate cat food, among other things.

It is true though that they are quite stupid, and even in captivity will only live about 3 years max. We had two for a while, and all was good until one got really territorial and started attacking its sister at night (too old for two females to live around each other), so the mean one went to live with a woman in our town who takes care of exotic pets as her career.

The weirdest thing is that they used to nuzzle up on my head, and rub their wet noses back and forth all over my hair...it seemed comforting or something to them. Pretty fun animals though.

[–]Rinbasa 0 points1 point ago

They don't usually spray, they just secrete, and it gets on anything they touch.

[–]Shorvok 1 point2 points ago

They are fucking adorable, I don't care what people say.

They tend to look kinda nasty when people see them because they are either A. Roadkill or B. Dirty and Angry.

ADORABLE!

[–]UndeadGerbilStew 3 points4 points ago

I find opossums to be unbelievably cute.

[–]Bubba_Mclicious 36 points37 points ago

I'm partial to this one myself. http://imgur.com/tj5W8

[–]indigent3 21 points22 points ago

This is what I expected after reading the title.

[–]funkydo 4 points5 points ago

THat would have worked better if he has said, "I'm actually floored by this one."

[–]opiate46 4 points5 points ago

This never fails to make me laugh.

[–]FAcup 4 points5 points ago

Wasn't disappointed.

[–]mrkleen 3 points4 points ago

This picture is my only internet claim to fame.

[–]dandan86 1 point2 points ago

[–]thepenismeatier 5 points6 points ago

Brilliant. I am making up one of those signs tonight to keep in my car just in case the opportunity presents itself.

[–]Bubba_Mclicious 2 points3 points ago

It's always good to be prepared. Good luck to you.

[–]pedobear_run_kids 4 points5 points ago

seems legit

[–]sciencethedrug 7 points8 points ago

That cat's playing possum.

[–]Coney_Island_Hentai 0 points1 point ago

*opossum

[–]funkydo 6 points7 points ago

[–]Coney_Island_Hentai 3 points4 points ago

[–]funkydo 3 points4 points ago

Yea well, your lawn isn't cool anyway.

[–]funkydo 2 points3 points ago

^ anyway

[–]thisistakingtoolong 4 points5 points ago

Seems legit.

[–]awfulkunt 1 point2 points ago

i want to put up a sign that says free cat to good home next to one that has been hit by a car

[–]ScarfieHard 1 point2 points ago

[–]awfulkunt 0 points1 point ago

Nicely done

[–]GoggleHat 0 points1 point ago

I think it's Command-Form:

Am cat, for true! Free cat! Free cat, now!

Where did it get the crayon and paper....... Oh, marsupial...

[–]ImaCarrot 1 point2 points ago

First post in awhile that actually made me laugh for a good 5 minutes here have an upvote

[–]AllYourTacos 0 points1 point ago

It looks like a protest to get his/her friend out of jail.

[–]PlatonicEgg 1 point2 points ago

Fairway Frank?

[–]palookaboy 1 point2 points ago

Free Cat McCullough; he killed fourteen babies, but he did it in self-defense.

[–]Vanderloulou 0 points1 point ago

Also, no cat allergy guaranted!

[–]clicksnhisses 0 points1 point ago

I thought it was going to be reference to the "Free Hat" gag from South Park

[–]pumpkinking2833 0 points1 point ago

Hahahaha it's funny cause it's not a cat......

[–]Rysdad 0 points1 point ago

Why do possums usually appear to be cross-eyed?

[–]The-Internet-Is-Mean 0 points1 point ago

Free hat

[–]WesWar 1 point2 points ago

Well someone is getting a free dinner AND a free hat.

[–]ClassyMe 0 points1 point ago

[–]Rinbasa 0 points1 point ago

I'm kinda freaking out right now because I'm 90% sure that that is my ex-pet rabbit, Cocoa. I gave her to a shelter a few years ago because she had some medical problems that my step-dad was too cheap to pay to treat. Same markings, same colors, same behavior. I am wigged out.

[–]mxjf 0 points1 point ago

I can safely say that i'm the only person ever to think possums are adorable.

[–]Rinbasa 1 point2 points ago

Nope.

[–]Stealyphil1905 0 points1 point ago

You're not but I'm glad you do.

[–]Hylian_Legend 0 points1 point ago

Not sure if telling me to let it go or give it a home.

[–]KatieRoberts 1 point2 points ago

You could probably sell it to that blind kid from Dumb and Dumber. Pretty bird...

[–]andon21 0 points1 point ago

No that's definitely a cat, my aunt has one that looks almost identical to it

[–]rmkensington 0 points1 point ago

Awww that's a wittle puppy

[–]firstinthefield 0 points1 point ago

Dibs!

[–]ketaduck 0 points1 point ago

What kind of dog is this?

[–]Shady519 0 points1 point ago

Kitty!!... Wait, that's not a cat!

[–]DisregardHumanity 0 points1 point ago

Day 241: The Redditors upvoted a picture of a cage with a sign that read "FREE CAT," whereas the cage clearly contained a dog.

[–]Stealyphil1905 0 points1 point ago

Are you dumb or something? It was clearly a cat. Why would the sign lie?!

[–]QuickAGiantRabbit 0 points1 point ago

How about FUCK YEAH

[–]ColdStainlessNail 0 points1 point ago

Sure, I'll let him go.

[–]knowses 0 points1 point ago

That cat is pretending to be asleep.

[–]sandym2000 0 points1 point ago

Day 32: the humans still think I'm a cat

[–]OneFisch 0 points1 point ago

City Slickers!

I want it!!

[–]TheMetalMilitia 0 points1 point ago

YOU SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A SQUIRREL

[–]shakycam3 0 points1 point ago

I've heard they make a whole bunch of noise and act all vicious but they rarely attack. They faint and play dead and emit a stink gland when cornered.

[–]corey1505 0 points1 point ago

There was a cat there...

[–]Biggg_D21 0 points1 point ago

kind of happy you didn't say "seems legit"

[–]mrwaffle12 0 points1 point ago

Hmm... Seems legit.

[–]zt666 0 points1 point ago

[–]Waveridr85 0 points1 point ago

I came in here looking to see what they did to a possum

[–]F1ah3Rty 0 points1 point ago

It's the little things

[–]Flebas 0 points1 point ago

Little did we know this was just an animal rights activist's plea to release this poor possum named after Cat Stevens.

[–]theonescd 0 points1 point ago

My cat looks just like this

[–]rainjur 0 points1 point ago

It's actually a puppy, but I guess the owner never showed.

[–]pokezrp 0 points1 point ago

Seems legit.

[–]corybear91 0 points1 point ago

Halo ce inside joke ;p

[–]Sprocketlord 0 points1 point ago

What is the legality of raising one of these? I sort of want a baby possum.

[–]mr_understood 0 points1 point ago

It's a trap!

[–]duxbellorum2313 0 points1 point ago

I hope you let him go...

[–]ROYALAYOR 0 points1 point ago

[–]danjenkins40 0 points1 point ago

After several pages in to browsing r/funny this was the first post I laughed out loud at!

[–]Vin_The_Rock_Diesel 0 points1 point ago

He may look cute, but free cats are often a bad situation. I'd stay away.

[–]lindseywitt -2 points-1 points ago

Yes! Step one of my plan to get all the karma!

[–]rhiannonstone 0 points1 point ago

Did you know your cat is a possum? I can tell because it's a possum.

[–]leavemealone007 1 point2 points ago

*opossum

[–]TNCountryBoy[S] 0 points1 point ago

This is in Tennessee so it is definitely *possum! Also I should add that he has been released in some woods far away from people & dogs and is enjoying his new life.

[–]leavemealone007 0 points1 point ago

good!!! you wouldn't want that opossum to bother people.
