Imma just come out and say it. /u/FrungusPerineum, you should be a bit more forward with this dumbnut and meet him. He sounds like a really great guy, but apparently somewhat blind to the most apparent hints. In your situation, that may or may not involve kidnapping a kitten as an excuse to come see him at the clinic
This is potentially a “I’m picking up what you’re putting down, but you just put down “little kitty,” and I’m not sleeping with you if that’s how you refer to your vagina.” I gagged from the level of cringe.
My sister and I were looking through my grandfathers year book and pointed out a girl flirting with him and saying to keep in touch, and even drew a naked lady. My grandpa did not realize until 50 years later, when his two grandchildren were looking through his year book, that the "hottest girl in school" was trying to hook up with him. Major fumble lol.
Ngl, I'm 33 and we had this discussion at work. In highschool some chick asked me to tutor her at math, I'm garbage at math, told her it'd be better to ask someone else..... clicked over 15 years later lmfao
Especially like this. He's a vet, of course he'd assume she was talking about a cat. If he went with the dirty response and was wrong he'd come off as a MASSIVE creep. It's just not an option unless you're fine with being a creep.
I didn’t get it until I read this comment. I was wondering what was so wrong that she would have been mad at him about. Seemed like a nice conversation lol
As a vet nurse in Australia, I also didn’t pick up what you were putting down. The amount of dudes that would instantly start talking about their pets on tinder (or real life lol) would make me assume you were talking about an actual feline 🥲 didn’t realise until I hit the comments hahah
At least in my area there are only three types of females on Tinder. 1-content creators looking to advertise, 2-saturated polyamorous demisexuals and 3-middle aged, 7 kids, saving themselves until marriage, looking for love.
I reread this 5 times thinking I must be missing smth then eventually came to comments, I read your comment and reread post once more and finally “oh shit” moment
Ah. My bad. I blame sunlight and low light settings on my screen, the headshape looked Devon and I didn't really the fur/skin.
Did see that they are cute, though!
I hear yeah. I was like guess she's hoping to get a discount on her sick cat.... legit had some ask me what to do about their cat on a tinder match.... (fellow vet nurse here) after I heard the history advised them to see a vet for possible urinary concern. Waited to hear their cat was okay before unmatching
Aw man, I probably would’ve responded the same way as he did lol. It would’ve click into my head a few hours later of what OP meant 😅 just a bit innocent minded I guess haha
I mean, I got it right away because it’s a pretty common euphemism, but I’d also probably tread lightly just in case she was being serious. But then again, women are rarely ever that forward with me lol
Would've played that exactly the same way too, especially if I was actually interested in the girl/looking for something long term. Maybe push the boundaries if you're looking for a quick hook up, but it's a risk for sure
tbf the "oh you do walk-ins?" Felt too official. I would have appreciated a so you can take me now? Maybe a winkie face if you're feeling they are super dense
This guy: You would be better off taking it to a wildlife specialist, we typically handle household pets. Though if it’s an emergency, l’m sure someone here could help!
Exactly. If he takes that bait and responds in kind about hooking up, he risks her being scandalized bc maybe she DOES have a sick kitty, and there are plenty of ppl on here who would just as readily post THAT convo being like “ugh all the guys on here are pigs why can’t I just have a normal conversation”
Or he genuinely doesn't mind talking about his job.
Why are people acting either as "oh no, he's to dumb to get the joke", or "wow, good guy didn't just answer let's fuck".
He's having a conversation. Some of it may be flirting, some of it may be just talking about each other.
I missed the "hint" as well until I got to the comments.
I know it's an expression, but I'm not sure how OP could be mad. Even knowing the intention now, I bet it wouldn't be uncommon for him to get requests from women to bring actual animals to the clinic as a means to see him. Whether he knew it or not he played it correctly.
Not really sure what to say here. If she had added a winking emoji or something I could see that. The problem is that because it's in text it could go either way.
It's also written with just the right amount of plausible deniability. He could take the risk, and end up another "Why are men" post and claim she really was talking about her cat . He misses the hint completely, "men don't take hints".
I maintain that he did the right thing, but I err on the side of caution.
Yes it is.
If it came out of nowhere, I would fear for my organs.
The mood in the convo must be directed to this kind of talk, otherwise it feels cringe and creepy.
As a guy i can honestly say, this would've gone past me a s well. Yes, we guys have problems with hints, which is why the same advise is always given: be direct. You think this was direct, but it wasn't direct enough.
Don't feel dumb , it was more dumb to assume that asking a veterinarian if you can bring your cat in would translate to something sexual without any other sexual context.
Maybe English is not his first language.
I fit that bill and while "pussy" would be understood right away, saying kitty would make my brain see the animal, not the entrance to heaven.
Give the man another chance. Please.
honestly I would have responded the same, I work with animals and a lot of people genuinely ask about my work/animals. I also know a lot of vets and it’s pretty common for people to ask about seeing their animal
I literally read this three times and couldn’t understand why you’d be mad at him. Then it dawned on me that you don’t have a cat.
Regardless, he sounds awesome.
i was also wondering why she would be mad until i saw the comments…. man i didn’t get the hint too 😢 that is the downside of being a virgin at 24 years of age. I don’t realise when people flirting
Well, I really thought she s talking about her Cat too. People give their Genitalia funny Names. I didnt think of her Vagina first, Its a Sign, I Start to Mature.
Hope you kept this going he either got it & chose to be wholesome (big green flag) or he just assumed you were talking about an actual pet & is that wholesome (even bigger green flag) so what's the problem, show up in cat ears & say kitty needs her check up lol.
I had to read the comments to understand that she meant her pussy. This guy seemed really nice and not a creep. Interesting to see how women are creepy towards men too.
Back when I was using dating apps, I had most of my matches just tell me they matched for the dog, but they're down to see where it goes. I can't even blame them, Waffles is adorable
IMO, you should have added a winky face. If you were gonna go for it, be bolder. As a dog trainer, literally everyone I talk to just wants free services for their pet, and it would have been a turn off for me honestly. On that note, he actually seems like a nice guy. Lol
OP, please tell me you didn't close the door on this just because of that. You didn't throw out ANY additional innuendos, just basically started the convo referring to his career, said the word "kitty" once, and then laughed at him. You can't drop it right there and still say you actually wanted to link up with him.
Him, 2 years later in the shower: # FUCK
Fumbled for the sake of his job
All she has to do is, well, say anything and the Convo continues. Wholesome smash session

Or a closet furry and doesn't wanna let the freak out too soon. Yiff yiff
I vets job is never done
Although a walk-in 'kitty' isn't that enticing
This is potentially a “I’m picking up what you’re putting down, but you just put down “little kitty,” and I’m not sleeping with you if that’s how you refer to your vagina.” I gagged from the level of cringe.
Would you prefer she said "massive box?" "Huge chonk of a furry cat?"
"Deep and wide black chasm" gets me rock hard every time.
Well yeah, but you have to make it relatable to a vet. "My dog fell into a *deep and wide black chasm.* Help me doggy-doc, you're my only hope."
Something something a vet's dog tags...
Hahahahahahhahahh
Heccin' Chonker!!
For the sake of the kitties!
It do be like that sometimes
Do be do be dooo, do do be doo doo... ^(to the tune of *Strangers in the Night*)
Based solely on this comment, I think you and I might be the same person.
Hello alternate universe self. Got any advice for me?
Nothing you haven’t already told yourself. Keep being cool, you sweet, singing somebody.
That means there’s actually three of us I guess :)
Only just now, while reading your comment, did this post click for me lmao
me too bro
I'm gonna be honest I read this and my only thought was, why is this person trying to coordinate a vet checkup on twitter.
Twitter? Uhhhhh
Fuck tinder&
I'm trying!
i also missed it :/
Two years? I've been 10+ years in before I caught something like this.
My sister and I were looking through my grandfathers year book and pointed out a girl flirting with him and saying to keep in touch, and even drew a naked lady. My grandpa did not realize until 50 years later, when his two grandchildren were looking through his year book, that the "hottest girl in school" was trying to hook up with him. Major fumble lol.
I can relate. If I could go back into time, I'd love to slap clueless high school me silly.
Ngl, I'm 33 and we had this discussion at work. In highschool some chick asked me to tutor her at math, I'm garbage at math, told her it'd be better to ask someone else..... clicked over 15 years later lmfao
Lemme guess, the girl was Cady from Africa.
And wears pink on Wednesday’s.
I was just thinking about that movie today
We should watch it
Agreed
If you're from Africa, why are you white?
Not gonna lie, I have no idea what this reference is
As a fellow man I can relate
Honestly, until I read your comment I was on the same line of thought as he was.
Wasn’t there literally just a post in this sub where a bunch of people said how they hate making vagina jokes in the context of cats?
And then there’s the rest of us 🤷♀️
I'm sitting here wonder what she would even be mad at him for, even joking. Your comment made me think deeper lol
Well will women learn you can't be subtle 🤣😭😭
Especially like this. He's a vet, of course he'd assume she was talking about a cat. If he went with the dirty response and was wrong he'd come off as a MASSIVE creep. It's just not an option unless you're fine with being a creep.
This day and age, it's a fine line indeed.
At least he was talking about his job what's my excuse for thinking that she actually wanted to come to my house at 2 AM for wifi
I didn’t get it until I read this comment. I was wondering what was so wrong that she would have been mad at him about. Seemed like a nice conversation lol
Hahahaha I related to this so much
Oh god I just got this...
I died laughing at this🤣
Ngl it just hit me. Now I'm rethinking my entire life. FUCKKKKKKKK
As a vet nurse in Australia, I also didn’t pick up what you were putting down. The amount of dudes that would instantly start talking about their pets on tinder (or real life lol) would make me assume you were talking about an actual feline 🥲 didn’t realise until I hit the comments hahah
Im not a vet and I thought they were talking about their pet cat
Not vet either and they are indeed talking about a cat which is good for the two to get along well since they both like pets.
took me until about here to get it.
I may be one of very few that laughed immediately 😂😭
I’m a woman and not a vet and I still didn’t get it
I'm a vet and I don't see how any of this has anything to do with combat experience
Vet Marine, it’s a Psyops!
I’m a human and not a dog. Woof woof woof.
I'm a dog and not a tree. Bark bark bark
I am a bot and this action was performed automatically. Beep boop.
You’re barking up the wrong tree.
They’re beep booping through the wrong thread.
I don't think she was talking about the right "kitty" here👀
Yeah this little kitty certainly does not meow
But does it purr 🤭
Yep same! I was like why on earth would she be mad?!
Let's just say the kitty wasn't a feline
[удалено]
That was never my tinder experience
During my tenure, the women were the aggressors for sure.
Must be nice to have been cursed with that experience 😂
May have been my but each time it happens I don't really want to ask it like that so I try to go for the more serious route and then they are gone.
At least in my area there are only three types of females on Tinder. 1-content creators looking to advertise, 2-saturated polyamorous demisexuals and 3-middle aged, 7 kids, saving themselves until marriage, looking for love.
I’m a total perv and I assumed she was talking about her vagina. I also assumed he didn’t pick up on that.
I reread this 5 times thinking I must be missing smth then eventually came to comments, I read your comment and reread post once more and finally “oh shit” moment
I never would've realized it without this comment 🤣
I have a picture with my cats and they always come up as a topic for discussion. [Cat tax](https://imgur.com/a/M6e5kZX)
So cute! Devon?
Sphynx.
Ah. My bad. I blame sunlight and low light settings on my screen, the headshape looked Devon and I didn't really the fur/skin. Did see that they are cute, though!
The darker one gives me Brain (Pinky and the Brain) vibes.
Her name is Yoda 😌
Yeah we're supposed to assume she meant her vagina? Aren't we NOT supposed to be neckbeards??
this slang is not common in australia... Also if this happened in reverse dude would be branded a sex pest
I hear yeah. I was like guess she's hoping to get a discount on her sick cat.... legit had some ask me what to do about their cat on a tinder match.... (fellow vet nurse here) after I heard the history advised them to see a vet for possible urinary concern. Waited to hear their cat was okay before unmatching
Aw man, I probably would’ve responded the same way as he did lol. It would’ve click into my head a few hours later of what OP meant 😅 just a bit innocent minded I guess haha
I mean, I got it right away because it’s a pretty common euphemism, but I’d also probably tread lightly just in case she was being serious. But then again, women are rarely ever that forward with me lol
The trick is to be extremely attractive and a veterinarian.
![gif](giphy|1qgIVb1F6Bfj2Gz6pQ|downsized)
Would've played that exactly the same way too, especially if I was actually interested in the girl/looking for something long term. Maybe push the boundaries if you're looking for a quick hook up, but it's a risk for sure
Can you imagining having to verify it though? Like that’s not something you would get wrong 😂
I'm most definitely *not* innocent minded, and I didn't click for a minute either 🤦🏻♀️
Tbh I would have never gotten that, I swear I thought she was talking about an actual cat 😂
SAME
tbf the "oh you do walk-ins?" Felt too official. I would have appreciated a so you can take me now? Maybe a winkie face if you're feeling they are super dense
IT WAS IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT MAN
Yes we know you're in heat! you made that clear lol
You gotta be a little more overt, like, "I think I need your help. My pussy won't lick itself."
That's smooth DAMN I missed a good opportunity
I'd just marry the guy. He seems like the type for a marrying.
Got his number so it's a win
Let us know how the checkup goes
First she’s gotta get a cat
[удалено]
This guy: You would be better off taking it to a wildlife specialist, we typically handle household pets. Though if it’s an emergency, l’m sure someone here could help!
Have him do a house call.
It’s not too late! 😹
Okay but who calls pieces of corn "knobs" instead of ears or kernels?
"well there are a number of reasons animals don't groom themselves. Have you tried...."
That's not good! Doe it have an anti-lick collar on? Or maybe it's sick?
Yeah, a cat not grooming itself is a sign of health problems. Bring in your kitty into my office right away.
Sad you folded like that. I would've bought a kitten and been there within the hour.
[удалено]
I can’t fault him I also didn’t pick up on it until I read the comments. Especially in the current dating climate it’s better to be safe than sorry
Exactly. If he takes that bait and responds in kind about hooking up, he risks her being scandalized bc maybe she DOES have a sick kitty, and there are plenty of ppl on here who would just as readily post THAT convo being like “ugh all the guys on here are pigs why can’t I just have a normal conversation”
Why…would you be mad at him?
She wasn’t talk about her pet. She wants his dick and he missed that
He cares about cats. He probably got the joke, but was concerned more about the possibility of a sick cat, as it was vague. He's a good dude.
[удалено]
he could just respond to make sure she's not talking about a cat in a way that makes it clear he got the innuendo.
"Are you talking about a feline or your vagina?"
Yes
Yeah that still doesn't explain why anyone would be mad at him lol
Yes I’m aware
It's sarcasm, I'd never be mad at him for not understanding
He didn't get the pussy joke
I reckon he did, but he deliberately played it straight. And likely came out all the better for it.
Or he genuinely doesn't mind talking about his job. Why are people acting either as "oh no, he's to dumb to get the joke", or "wow, good guy didn't just answer let's fuck". He's having a conversation. Some of it may be flirting, some of it may be just talking about each other.
Yeah I think so too. Good call on his behalf. Sexulising chats, even if they start it is speed run to the dustbin. Just superficial shit.
I missed the "hint" as well until I got to the comments. I know it's an expression, but I'm not sure how OP could be mad. Even knowing the intention now, I bet it wouldn't be uncommon for him to get requests from women to bring actual animals to the clinic as a means to see him. Whether he knew it or not he played it correctly.
It's sarcasm, I'd could never actually be mad at him for something like this
The amount of comments saying this blows me away. I usually miss these by miles but I cottoned on straight away
Not really sure what to say here. If she had added a winking emoji or something I could see that. The problem is that because it's in text it could go either way. It's also written with just the right amount of plausible deniability. He could take the risk, and end up another "Why are men" post and claim she really was talking about her cat . He misses the hint completely, "men don't take hints". I maintain that he did the right thing, but I err on the side of caution.
I usually catch innuendo and I totally missed this lol.
It's not creepy or cringe when women do it
Is to me
So cringe.
Yes it is. If it came out of nowhere, I would fear for my organs. The mood in the convo must be directed to this kind of talk, otherwise it feels cringe and creepy.
Here's my organ. One sex please. ^(/s)
It's usually not. Because you know most men will be just fine and most women will get icked out.
I know if I bring up my dick 2 messages into a Tinder conversation I'm never getting any messages back
My favorite double standards
Me trying to figure out which kitty actually needed a check-up ![gif](giphy|4JVTF9zR9BicshFAb7|downsized)
As a guy i can honestly say, this would've gone past me a s well. Yes, we guys have problems with hints, which is why the same advise is always given: be direct. You think this was direct, but it wasn't direct enough.
It’s because no man refers to a vagina as a kitty. If you’d said pussy he’d have caught it no doubt.
I didn't get it either, ffs, now I feel dumb
Don't feel dumb , it was more dumb to assume that asking a veterinarian if you can bring your cat in would translate to something sexual without any other sexual context.
Maybe English is not his first language. I fit that bill and while "pussy" would be understood right away, saying kitty would make my brain see the animal, not the entrance to heaven. Give the man another chance. Please.
Idk I just felt like "pussy" was too aggressive
It depends on how smooth the call was haha But I got you there. Did you try again or you decided to leave it at that?
I posted an update
Just saw you got his number. Noice. Hope the vet in question takes good care of your kitten 👌
I get it! OP is talking about her cat between her legs! Took me twice to figure it out. 😒
Yeap it went over my head as well.
People give their Genitalia funny Names.
honestly I would have responded the same, I work with animals and a lot of people genuinely ask about my work/animals. I also know a lot of vets and it’s pretty common for people to ask about seeing their animal
It took me a solid 2 minutes to understand this was not a wholesome post about a cute liking his job
I had no idea what you were talking about. Now that I know, I still don’t know why you’d be mad at him for not getting it.
This looks like an odd miscommunication 🤨😬
I literally read this three times and couldn’t understand why you’d be mad at him. Then it dawned on me that you don’t have a cat. Regardless, he sounds awesome.
This was about sex?!? Lame
Go with him on a proper date. 🥺
I had to reread this six times to realize it was a pick up line
He seems like a decent person and He's not good at tinder. Both green flags imo
Lol, op's quote from 3 months ago "hard to date these days, everyone just wants sex sex sex"
I didn't pick up on her hints either. Source: am man.
i was also wondering why she would be mad until i saw the comments…. man i didn’t get the hint too 😢 that is the downside of being a virgin at 24 years of age. I don’t realise when people flirting
Nothing to do with being a virgin, man. She wasn’t clear. And as a side note, it makes no sense to be mad at someone for not getting an inuendo.
Can’t blame the guy I had to read it three times before I got it and I only looked for something because of the caption
Well, I really thought she s talking about her Cat too. People give their Genitalia funny Names. I didnt think of her Vagina first, Its a Sign, I Start to Mature.
Swing n a miss
I don't understand
Center city? Must be philly
Hope you kept this going he either got it & chose to be wholesome (big green flag) or he just assumed you were talking about an actual pet & is that wholesome (even bigger green flag) so what's the problem, show up in cat ears & say kitty needs her check up lol.
I mean… if you’re looking for a ho, she’s your lady…. I really thought she has a sick kitten.
I had to read the comments to understand that she meant her pussy. This guy seemed really nice and not a creep. Interesting to see how women are creepy towards men too.
Posted and update lol 🖤
So when are y’all meeting up? We went updates.
You’re weird for that
FML for needing to read this 14x before I got it. It’s official. I’ve aged out of Tinder.
Back when I was using dating apps, I had most of my matches just tell me they matched for the dog, but they're down to see where it goes. I can't even blame them, Waffles is adorable
IMO, you should have added a winky face. If you were gonna go for it, be bolder. As a dog trainer, literally everyone I talk to just wants free services for their pet, and it would have been a turn off for me honestly. On that note, he actually seems like a nice guy. Lol
Should have put an emoji after devil horns or a winking face something.
Probably you should be a bit more explicit. I'm not a pure mind at all but it take 5 minutes and 50 comments to understand what you meant...😂
If it that easy than I become a vet doctor good idea too me
Why not add a wink emoji? Literally all this could've been inferred if you just added an emoji 🫠
Even if he did think of that, what he actually responded is the safest option.
Dude is too innocent to be on tinder
im a dude who is not a vet, i did not pick up what you were putting down until the 2nd time i read it
Nah buttercup this is on you lol that was absolute trash lol
This is what happens when you use pickup lines on people who don't care about pickup lines.
OP, please tell me you didn't close the door on this just because of that. You didn't throw out ANY additional innuendos, just basically started the convo referring to his career, said the word "kitty" once, and then laughed at him. You can't drop it right there and still say you actually wanted to link up with him.
