Last night I drove to Harperâs ferry and I thought about you
Asshole Cats Being Shamed For Their Crimes.
sorry this is so much better than the dog oneÂ
They all look completely unabashed and unrepentant for their crimes
Theyâre like âYeah and? What u gonna do about it bitch?â
I think my favorite thing about Kris and Susie both individually and as a duo is that they're fucking TERRIFYING in like different archetypal ways while also being your average idiot teens
Like where else are you going to get a quiet kid with knife iconography who tears out their own soul and whose canon expressions are either deadpan or unhinged with glowing red eyes
Paired with an enormous fucking monster with fangs that can probably be measured in inches and burning eyes and a snout wrinkled in animal rage who can and will destroy anything in her path and at one point threatens to rip our face off with her massive bestial jaws
Both of whom canonically eat moss. And attempt to eat the clothes off a mannequin. And try to fit their entire heads into those dumbass talky tubes. And are just a couple of idiot teenagers who dick around town and accidentally run into your divorced parents in a Walmart and have to just hide in the corner together and try not to hear the absolute trainwreck that's happening like three aisles over
Like. I don't know if I can call it juxtaposition per se, but the fact that they could both easily be villains with their aesthetics and abilities but are also both just head-empty morons.. it's good.
you know the drill (male manipulator edition)

Letâs talk about the astounding similarities between cats and autistic people, and how we should make them the official autism mascot instead of that godawful puzzle piece
Oh man, now youâve got me going!
Firstly, cats stim. They purr, swish their tails and knead their paws against pillows, blankets, and other soft things. Many cats actively seek out sensory experiences, like listening to birds singing, lying in a sunbeam, rolling against the grass, etc.
Cats have sensory sensitivitiesâ many of them dislike walking on certain flooring, touching certain textures, and certain smells or sounds may make them anxious. Their fur is very sensitive, they can sense the lightest touch, or speck of lint, or dust and their skin will quiver until they can lick or rub it off. When they become overstimulated cats retreat into a small, dark place to recover.
Cats love routine. Many cats know the exact time that their owners wake up in the morning and will wake them. A cat with a routine is a happy catâ they love to have their meals or soft food on a schedule and will learn their ownerâs schedule. Cats will become anxious when the schedule is disrupted or if their owner doesnât follow their usual routine.
In the same vein cats are very wary and/or anxious when it comes to the introduction of new things or people into their environment. Cats require time and patience to get used to anything or anyone newly introduced. Cats also feel anxious when existing furniture is rearranged or when a new smell (like an air freshener) is introduced into the home.
Cats often have âspecial interestsâ, a particular activity or thing that they love and can spend hours enjoying. It could be playing with a particular toy, chewing on something, listening to the radio, or watching the clothes in the washing machine. My cat Kitty has a certain ball that she fixates on and will happily enjoy and obsess over for hours.
Finally, cats have a very distinct and subtle body language. The difference is particularly evident when compared with the exuberant, unsubtle dog. The slightest twitch of a tail or turn of the ears, the frequency and timing of blinks, and the positioning of the tail in relation to the body are all little movements that can express much. To the untrained eye it may appear as if a cat is bored, aloof, or unaware of its surroundings. But once you learn to recognize cat body language and understand cat communication, youâll be amazed at the depth of emotion and how expressive your cat really is.
Yes, I think that cats have a lot in common with autistic people. And thatâs wonderful!
also can I add to this:
cats like to show their affection just by sharing the same space. a cat will generally want to be in the same space as you, even if youâre not really interacting and are half way across the room. still hanging out!Â
they donât always want to be touched, and can be easily overstimulated by physical affection.
they donât like to make eye contact.
their body language is often misinterpreted- and then they are blamed for it, or have negative motivations ascribed to it. a cat following you around is stalking you instead of wanting to hang out. a cat that doesnât want to make eye contact with you is ignoring you instead of being polite. a cat that lashes out because itâs over stimulated, or you ignored their body language telling you to leave them alone is suddenly an asshole who hurt you for no reason.
I had this book as a child and Iâm glad to see the comparison is so widely recognized too
I KEEP SAYING ALL CATS ARE AUTISTIC IM SO HAPPY THIS POST EXISTS PLEASE SOMEONE ARTISTIC MAKE A CAT WITH THE NEURODIVERGENT SYMBOL ON IT FOR AUTISM MASCOT :D
The book above has been updated to better align with the current understanding of autism as well!!
