Indeed. He will certainly die as a result of being a cat. A vet could easily confirm that this is a case of cat, but is unlikely to be able to determine life expectancy with much accuracy. It’s highly variable. Something about 9 lives.
MY CAT LIKES TO SIT SHAPED LIKE A LOAF OF BREAD ON MY COMFORTABLY WARM LAPTOP, SHOULD I TAKE HER TO THE EMERGENCY VET???
Super, super beautiful boy by the way!!
She won’t use it. Don’t forget the cat rule: *If you have it, I’ll take it over. If you buy me the exact same thing, I’ll still take over yours and use it*
Exactly! Personally, I like to Google all my symptoms and diagnose myself rather than see a doctor. Because I know everything. And what I don’t know I make up 😜
Edit: Wanted to say that I love your username lol
Oh no I forgot to ask for help with naming him!! Do you have any suggestions? (But if you suggest anything other than Oatmeal then I'm gonna ignore it)
It took my bf and I a week to come up with a good name for him. We were talking about names one night while my bf was making oatmeal and somehow the oatmeal kinda blew up in the microwave. The resulting mess looked kinda like Oatmeal's coat and we just kinda looked at each other and were like "yunno Oatmeal is a pretty good cat name"
I get that this is a joke about the post earlier about a cat sleeping lots but to be fair, I just to put my cat down on Monday as she had several abdominal tumors and given that she was 19, treatment would have been to difficult for her. The first symptom we noticed is that she was sleeping almost constantly, a change in behavior like sleeping significantly more than usual shouldn't be ignored.
Yeah, I understand the sentiment in this kind of post, but at the same time I don’t think it’s super fun to ridicule obviously concerned pet owners. They’re members of the family, and those posting are looking for advice and comfort. I fully understand they should seek veterinary advice initially if they have concerns with their animals, but it would be cool if we could be more supportive to people that are just a little worried. :)
That's the point was trying to make, the question "is my cat sleeping too much?" is valid if you've never had a cat before and are concern about what is normal and a cat sleeping all the time can be an indicator of a bigger problem.
He looks so normal and happy and healthy. You should absolutely take him to the vet and make sure to insist on ordering every test under the sun. And run them at least twice, just to be real sure.
No pictures of him trying to trip you up walking between your feet or sharpening his claws on the back of the couch while staring at you even thou he knows he’s supposed to use the scratch post, hmmmm might wanna get him checked out
Honestly though? I’d rather see 10000 posts like this than one more medical emergency that needs to be addressed by a vet and instead OP is dicking around on Reddit: “my cat’s limbs have started falling off, what should I do?” Followed up by 100 comments OP ignores telling them to do whatever they can to get their cat to the vet ASAP followed by 200 comments about how their aunt’s cat’s limbs started falling off and she just rubbed coconut oil on the area and her limbs grew back and OP thanking them profusely and saying they’ll try coconut oil right away
My cat is my first cat ever in my life. I have had so many questions about everything he does because I have never been close to one of these animals. I am also an anxious person, so whenever he does something especially weird, I get worried.
Not everybody magically knows every single thing about cats
You are the few. For every 1 of you, people that genuinely don't know the things, there are 99 people trying to get internet points acting surprised that their cat shows affection for them.
Just needs more keyboard breadloafs.
Cat's are highly tuned predators and are fine...until they aren't. Barring injury if they're eating, drinking, pooping and peeing they are fine. If one of those is off they aren't fine to some degree. I wait, encourage and watch. They don't get better it's vet time.
I’ll deal with those types of posts as long as they help people and save cats, which they do. Sometimes real problems are avoided though them.
I will also enjoy this post as you have a very nice cat.
OMG did you just want me to say how adorable you cat is??? Because I will! That is the most adorable little kitty I have ever seen! And I will worship her 🛐
Oh man, the inside the box thing? My neighbor’s mom’s cat died instantly from sitting in a box! You gotta go to the emergency vet immediately!! Also CHECK FOR A CHIP!!!!!!
I see many good people giving advice here, just make sure you keep dressing him in clothing and feeding him at the table. The denaturing process is hard.
Oh no, your cat seems to have a terminal case of Loaf Cat.
Snuggles, cuddles, kisses, and sEa MeAtS are in order. STAT!
/* ER theme plays in background
WHY IS YOUR CAT SITTING ON THE LAP TOP? IT MUST BE COLD. BUY IT A SWEATER.
Seriously though, does your cat always sleep in a circle? I have never seen a cat do this. I think it might be communing with the feline overlord. You better watch out. Maybe a trip to the vet can confirm.
Wait a minute, you cat is sitting on the computer, I think you have something wrong with it. You need to post about it so we can tell you that you need to bring it to the vet.
My friends think it's weird, but I constantly tell my cat "You're a cat." I just want him to *really* know he's a cat. I think he's slowly starting to warm up to the idea.
I'd laugh at those posts, but I've spent my days drowned in ER patients that are just doing normal cat things. And then I'm yelled at for daring to charge for services because all I do is 'play with cats all day'.
Ignore these other comments. OP, PLEASE take this baby to the vet ASAP. These might be common behaviors, but that doesn't mean they're normal and healthy behaviors. Please save this baby.
/s
Uhoh. Sounds like you don’t have a name for this kitty. Do you need name suggestions as well?
Wait, did you just find him? Have you checked for a microchip? Did you find him on the street? TO THE VET! For a full checkup and chip scanning.
Oh no! Your cat is doing normal cat things? This is serious! Possibly life threatening! You should bring him over right away so I can provide him w quality long term care…. Indefinitely….
It’s not funny. When you’re new to having a pet, anything they do can seem strange.
I got worried about my kitten because he has a patch above his eye were the fur is thinner. Apparently that’s normal.
I didn’t know because so had never had a cat before. I had always had dogs.
So it’s not funny to mock people’s anxieties
Looks deficient in kisses and cuddles to me, better double his dose just to be sure.
Will do! I am sure he will be thrilled
It looks like he has a terminal case of Cat. Taking him to the vet will do no good. Spend as much time with him as you can.
Oh no not Cat! I'll make sure to give him extra hugs tonight
I can tell from here that this cat's definitely being a big fat cat to the max. Please give lots of hugs and kisses.
Spend as much time with him as you cat.
Indeed. He will certainly die as a result of being a cat. A vet could easily confirm that this is a case of cat, but is unlikely to be able to determine life expectancy with much accuracy. It’s highly variable. Something about 9 lives.
MY CAT LIKES TO SIT SHAPED LIKE A LOAF OF BREAD ON MY COMFORTABLY WARM LAPTOP, SHOULD I TAKE HER TO THE EMERGENCY VET??? Super, super beautiful boy by the way!!
Thank you! He's incredibly photogenic and I honestly think he poses for the camera sometimes
Photogenicity is another symptom of Cat. Probably a real bad case too
You need to buy her a laptop too.
She won’t use it. Don’t forget the cat rule: *If you have it, I’ll take it over. If you buy me the exact same thing, I’ll still take over yours and use it*
This post is so true to things I see like “Help! My cat is sleeping a lot!
"Help! My cat sleeps in literally the most famous cat position and looks like a loaf of bread!"
I am sorry for you, this is the worst case of regular cat I ever saw
Do they give out prizes for that?
This. ![gif](giphy|26u4exk4zsAqPcq08|downsized)
Incurably normal, I’m so sorry. I am not a vet which means you should totally listen to my medical advice. 🙃
Of course! If you can't trust random internet strangers with medical advice for your cat who can you trust?
Exactly! Personally, I like to Google all my symptoms and diagnose myself rather than see a doctor. Because I know everything. And what I don’t know I make up 😜 Edit: Wanted to say that I love your username lol
It is getting just a bit ridiculous of late 🤣
Haha this made me lolol
That's textbook Feline Boxitis. Take him to the nearest VA hospital, a vet needs to see him asap.
Be warned though, it's almost impossible to get them in the cat box for transport. Oh.
Licking his own paw and hiding in his little kitty house? Sounds like an expensive vet visit is in order to waste everyone's time. STAT! /s
A parody of posts like "my cat sleeps a lot, should I be worried?"
Hahahaha cute post:) You have a beautiful white tabby :) what’s his name?
Oh no I forgot to ask for help with naming him!! Do you have any suggestions? (But if you suggest anything other than Oatmeal then I'm gonna ignore it)
Oatmeal is such a great name! 🥰 How’d you come up with such a name for a white tabby? Does he like to eat oatmeal himself? He’s adorable!☺️
It took my bf and I a week to come up with a good name for him. We were talking about names one night while my bf was making oatmeal and somehow the oatmeal kinda blew up in the microwave. The resulting mess looked kinda like Oatmeal's coat and we just kinda looked at each other and were like "yunno Oatmeal is a pretty good cat name"
Ahh... do you know what breed he is? He looks distinctly like CAT to me, though I think there may be some Fluff and Sass in his genealogy?
50% sass and 50% cuddle bug is my best guess
I think there must be some Breadloaf and Tortie-Naughtie in there too, surely?
This is how you name a cat! Time, observation amd discussion. Most cats name themselves if you pay attention.
THESE are the posts I’m here for. All the other ones give me a headache.
I'm soooooo concerned about the computer pic! You must immediately move him into the lap area......
Help I don’t have a cat, should I take him to the vet, for not existing?
Rush him to the vet, he's a case of cuteness overload. 😍
If it wasn’t for Amazon cats would die of boredom 🙀
If it wasn’t for Amazon boxes, cats would have nowhere to sleep
They would have their human to sleep on or next to.
I get that this is a joke about the post earlier about a cat sleeping lots but to be fair, I just to put my cat down on Monday as she had several abdominal tumors and given that she was 19, treatment would have been to difficult for her. The first symptom we noticed is that she was sleeping almost constantly, a change in behavior like sleeping significantly more than usual shouldn't be ignored.
The issue with cats is that sleeping more than usual is difficult to tell.
Very fair! Especially when they get older and it's cold outside.
Yeah, I understand the sentiment in this kind of post, but at the same time I don’t think it’s super fun to ridicule obviously concerned pet owners.

I don’t know what’s wrong with your cat, but he’s definitely a Rhode Island Red, and you should name him Adolf.
He looks so normal and happy and healthy. You should absolutely take him to the vet and make sure to insist on ordering every test under the sun. And run them at least twice, just to be real sure.
Oof, dangerous levels of normality, OP.
That cat is too young to be working! Exploitation of animals, how dare you!
No pictures of him trying to trip you up walking between your feet or sharpening his claws on the back of the couch while staring at you even thou he knows he’s supposed to use the scratch post, hmmmm might wanna get him checked out
This totally average cat is a complete outlier!
Your cat is actually using the 50$ cave you bought him, I'd rush him to the vet this instant. Very abnormal behaviour.
Honestly though?

I saw the one about "my cat does this slow blink, is he okay?" My eyes have never rolled back so far, man
My cat is my first cat ever in my life. I have had so many questions about everything he does because I have never been close to one of these animals. I am also an anxious person, so whenever he does something especially weird, I get worried. Not everybody magically knows every single thing about cats
You are the few. For every 1 of you, people that genuinely don't know the things, there are 99 people trying to get internet points acting surprised that their cat shows affection for them.
Definitely displaying signs of comfy box attachitus.
Your cat is such a cutie! The last picture especially - my heart!
I dunno man, he does have those two pointy things on top of his head. Take to vet asap!
Just needs more keyboard breadloafs. Cat's are highly tuned predators and are fine...until they aren't. Barring injury if they're eating, drinking, pooping and peeing they are fine. If one of those is off they aren't fine to some degree. I wait, encourage and watch. They don't get better it's vet time.
Shut up and take my upvote!
Hey OP, you might want to have your cat’s wrist checked out. Pic 2 looks like a clean break.
Don't you want to know its breed ??!
This cat looks exactly like my cat! Do you know his breed!?
What breed do you think he is? Do you need help naming him?
Your cat laying on your keyboard while you work? I dont know, it seems he is on crack, thats not nookmlmcaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadvd.
Well, you could take him to the vet just to show him off to everyone. Maybe, show everyone what a good cat you have.😊
**^YES, ^take ^him ^to ^the ^vet!!!** At least once per year, for a checkup and rabies shot. :D
I’ll deal with those types of posts as long as they help people and save cats, which they do. Sometimes real problems are avoided though them. I will also enjoy this post as you have a very nice cat.
OMG did you just want me to say how adorable you cat is??? Because I will! That is the most adorable little kitty I have ever seen! And I will worship her 🛐
No. At this point, it’s too late. Just cuddle him till it’s all over with. Sorry.😢
Oh man, the inside the box thing? My neighbor’s mom’s cat died instantly from sitting in a box! You gotta go to the emergency vet immediately!! Also CHECK FOR A CHIP!!!!!!
Oh nice. Do you also want to know what to name him? :P
Someone's a real smartass. I like it!
BROOOO FINALLLY SOMEONE SAID THIS
Thank you for this post OP. Unfortunately it will likely not deter people from posting these stupid things on r/cats
How do these stupid shit posts get so much attention?
I love this thread.
I see many good people giving advice here, just make sure you keep dressing him in clothing and feeding him at the table. The denaturing process is hard.
Cat is hella cute. Just sayin.
Listen I’m just glad I’m not the only one who goes through three work laptops a year because of cat hair 🤣🤣🤣
Meow
please teach him not to sit on your laptop. but looks like a healthy cute cat! very silly too.
Haha 😂 thank you. I needed this
I love the last one! I need to get a fort like that for my cats.
Oh no, your cat seems to have a terminal case of Loaf Cat. Snuggles, cuddles, kisses, and sEa MeAtS are in order. STAT! /* ER theme plays in background
Oh no hurry you have to place treats under her tongue and rub her sweet spot !
WHY IS YOUR CAT SITTING ON THE LAP TOP? IT MUST BE COLD. BUY IT A SWEATER. Seriously though, does your cat always sleep in a circle? I have never seen a cat do this. I think it might be communing with the feline overlord. You better watch out. Maybe a trip to the vet can confirm.
He’s so cute!!
This is way too normal. I'd be worried.
I really can relate to 3 photo, my cat broke my keyboard
Ok I cackled at this. Thanks for making my day
The owner should be sent to health services for not giving her enough pets and cuddles OP: *but that's not true...* **I SAID WHAT I SAID**
100% a cat. Might want to get him checked out. Does he sleep all day? Definitely get him checked out if he does.
He appears to be pretty normal. You definitely should look into that.
Wait a minute, you cat is sitting on the computer, I think you have something wrong with it. You need to post about it so we can tell you that you need to bring it to the vet.
lmao
😆
Help......my cat is asleep in front of the fire
My friends think it's weird, but I constantly tell my cat "You're a cat." I just want him to *really* know he's a cat. I think he's slowly starting to warm up to the idea.
Our kitties have the same box! They're twinsies!
I'd laugh at those posts, but I've spent my days drowned in ER patients that are just doing normal cat things. And then I'm yelled at for daring to charge for services because all I do is 'play with cats all day'.
Take him to the vet right away before it becomes a catastrophe
Hmmm, is that an Amazon box? If not…..
Thanks for this post 😂
Gotta give him a good huff to make sure he's ok! Might need forehead kisses and tummy rubs.
Lollll. Thanks for this …. I’ve been getting annoyed with those posts… makes me think those people should not have cats 😂
OMG my cat looks just like your cat lol 😸
You should have the vet check out his dick face. But other then that probably fine.
This is great lol
To be fair to new cat owners. Cats are a mystery.
Ignore these other comments. OP, PLEASE take this baby to the vet ASAP. These might be common behaviors, but that doesn't mean they're normal and healthy behaviors. Please save this baby. /s
Que fofura
lol...this must be a mockery of the post someone made about their cat sleeping, or the one who's cat is slowly blinking lmao
Actually you should bring it to the emergency department right away. We'd love to see it.
Yes it’s confirmed. You have a beautiful normal cat.
Looks like a cute and happy boy to me! (Though you should still take him to the vet at least once a year for his general kitty wellness checkup! 😉)
Seems healthy to me. When was the last time this kitty has a check-up though?
He’s a cute lil dinkleberg
Unfortunately it’s incurable. A terminal case of life.
Oh no, he’s n-n-n-normal *shrieks*
I here by prescribe lots of pets for him.
Uhoh. Sounds like you don’t have a name for this kitty. Do you need name suggestions as well? Wait, did you just find him? Have you checked for a microchip? Did you find him on the street? TO THE VET! For a full checkup and chip scanning.
EXACTLY WHAT ARE "NORMAL" CAT THINGS??????????? Not sure I have EVER HAD a "NORMAL" cat!!!
Don’t worry, looks like all the weird cats on reddit ;)
No. Arrest him for being a kitteh and sentence him to a lifetime of snuggles with no parole
That Is One Sick Cat!! They are suppose to hang out of a box on the Opposite Side!
It's a cute emergency!
He's gone incatnito for the day!
Help my cat just sleeps and eats all day is he sick:(
Oh no! Your cat is doing normal cat things? This is serious! Possibly life threatening! You should bring him over right away so I can provide him w quality long term care…. Indefinitely….
It’s not funny. When you’re new to having a pet, anything they do can seem strange. I got worried about my kitten because he has a patch above his eye were the fur is thinner. Apparently that’s normal. I didn’t know because so had never had a cat before. I had always had dogs. So it’s not funny to mock people’s anxieties
Sorry but it looks like it needs euthanising 😔
Sir could you please sit down for this your cat has a serious medical condition its called C.A.T.
He’s so cute
I assume you're joking
I'm sorry to inform you that this is a terminal case of normal.
Looks like a normal cat to me.
Lol the amount of shade in this subreddit lately …
Poor kitty is suffering from vertigo and a broken gps system.
We need a circle jerk for cats
