“It squeaks”
Translation: It makes noises like an animal at distress or about to die when you are tearing into it.
As long as they’re having fun
humans would never simulate killing for entertainment.
I mean, yeah
My cat brought in a lizard last night but it escaped somewhere into the under stairs before I could rescue it. I guess I have a pet lizard now too.
Also like how they have a brand called Meowijuana
What do you do to play with your dog?
I have a squeaky.squeeeeeek
And what about your cat?
Oh, I can’t play with him until I pay Big Jimmie $200 for the meth.
I’d say Sarah doesn’t know much about cats or is just lazy.
Cats love toys, but it needs to be engaging. They love their pray to feel alive, to move, to hide. A crumpled up piece of paper on a string tied to a stick works wonders. That means the owner needs to participate, but most don’t. Also cats are crepuscular so for maximum success keep play limited the evening or morning. You might be surprised how much of a hunter your cat actually is.

Or maybe it is just a dumb joke?
I feel like jokes are a reflection on the people making them, based on their own experiences and biases. Jokes also need to be rooted in some kind of reality we all agree on in order to subvert and become funny.
A dumb joke about cats not wanting toys still tells me the owner has no idea or doesn’t care. And I’ve met these owners many times before. So many people see their pets as furniture and understand nothing about them, their personalities or their needs.
I’ve bought my cat toys that I hoped she’d like and she hates them. It’s not a matter of misunderstanding. It’s a matter of the other car showing the slightest interest.
Feather on a string on a stick used to keep my cat in the 90s entertained for hours. Also laserpen. This was before we found out laserpens cause cats depression.
What?? Why? I thought cats love laserpens
I’ve been told it’s because they never get the satisfaction of catching the dot.
oh that makes sense.
They do. They love them so much that they become obsessed with them. But the laserpen has no physical mass, meaning that the cats can’t understand why they can never catch it. So they work even harder to catch it. But they can’t. It’s just a light beam.
So it’s kind of like going hunting, and never getting the kill, despite the fact that you thought you killed it several times.
Because they can never catch it. There’s no reward for a successful hunt.
You might also be surprised at how incompetent they are when they try to hunt down the said piece of paper
My cats go absolutely nuts for their wand toys they will pull the toy out of the drawer and drag it to me to play with them. But they are also very content to play with their miscellaneous small toys like balls, stuffed mice, qnd especially plastic springs. A bag of cat springs is maybe $5 and they go apeshit for them .
Catnip isnt rly drugs afaik
I’d say it’s as much as a drug as drooling when you see a cake. It’s not psychoactive per se but rather triggering a hereditary response in their brains. I don’t think the molecule ever reaches the brain
IIRC it can effect humans too if you eat enough of it but it’s more of a depressant for us.
A lot of people put some in their weed. I usually do lavender, but have been thinking about trying catnip. I don’t think i should just use the atuff they sell at my local Walmart though
Dude what shitty weed are you smoking that you gotta cut it? With nip?! And lavender?!?! Fuckin break out the potpourri next we just gonna smoke whatever lights on fire holy shit
What kind of shitty cooking are you doing that you gotta put salt and pepper in your food? I have a jar of lavender from my old garden and a pinch of lavender goes in whenever i grind up weed because it tastes great and takes a bit of the edge off of weed. Some people like to throw in a little bit if mint to help with flavor, or chamomile to help with sleep, or rose petals and jasmine to get a bit more umph.
Mix weed with catnip and smoke it? No way man
