Cat visited me when my car broke down
Posted this on mildly interesting earlier today and they enjoyed it before the post got taken down for rule #6 (biggest post I’ve ever made, I’m quite mad about it) but some said you all would really enjoy it!
My car broke down while I was dashing earlier and the neighborhood cat came over to greet me/see if I had any treats. I pet her and played with her while I was waiting on my ride to come with some oil and tools to diagnose the issue (before mechanics jump in I think I have a cracked oil pan, roads in TN can be rough).
I wanted to clarify a few things that were left open in the post due to their rules. Please don’t think I’m being pedantic, I just don’t want any poop throwing in the comment section:
I would not have taken this cat for so many reasons, top being that she’s clearly someone’s pet and for better or worse I’m not going to take this cat.
He was petted by me because how could I not, I’ll include more pics below.
I’m not here to talk ethics on indoor/outdoor cats. I WAS on that sub to post a cute picture of a cat I found that I thought was a mildly interesting part of my life, but I’ve seen how that goes.
Even if I were to take one, I have a boy of my own named Jack at home, as well as several reptiles, unrelated pet rats, and a newborn human child. I’m still expanding on snakes to break into the job market for them, and Jack doesn’t like other cats so that would be off the table anyways.
I’m a huge animal lover clearly, and I make sure to stay on top of vaccines, vet visits, separate enclosures for all the non-cat pets that are separated from each other when needed. I’ve kept animals my whole life and if I were ever unable to take care of them I have family members who would gladly support me.
There’s no kittens in the car. I just parked seconds before I took this video.
Finally, I know DoorDash is bad. I’m still on leave for paternity and my paycheck got messed up in the office, so I’m doing what I can and I see it as a necessary evil.
Please behave, no cat distribution system comments if you can avoid it and I would appreciate car advice down to a minimum, that’s handled. I really enjoyed the post earlier and had a lot of fun until people ruined it, please don’t let that happen 🙏 mods please don’t blast me because god forbid a man wants some whimsy in his life.
If you saw me earlier then you probably know I’m a fan of long-winded texts and really talking about what I think, so I hope you don’t mind that format.
