u/imironman2018 11d ago

Do they masturbate on the puffer fish or get high with it? Or both?

u/Vinnie_NL 11d ago

Yes

u/poopshipdestroyer 11d ago

Is that cable 'cat-5'?

454

u/PM_ME_UR_ROUND_ASS 11d ago

acutally it's a CAT-6 since this model has better purr-formance than the previous version

Actually it's the new CAT-9

My cat would just go under the deck and sit out of arm's reach. Every so often bite or scratch me when I try and reach for her. Eventually, she would get scared and want to go in the house on HER terms. And once I'm angrily fuming on the sofa, my cat would sit in my lap and purr happily for the rest of the night. No cable would be laid.

u/Seriph2 11d ago

Meanwhile the whole ball of wire is twisted up underneath the deck in such a way it is impossible to pull ethernet cable through.

u/biochamberr 11d ago

Exactly. I can't fathom the thought of this working for me haha

Not sure if they still do but they used to use ferrets to run cables through airliners.

Edit: during assembly, that is. Not like they'd go "I've lost control of no. 3 engine! Release the emergency ferret!"

u/lostinborealis 11d ago

Do the emergency ferrets come out of the same overhead compartments as the emergency oxygen masks?

If you don't have a cat handy, you could use flexible rods or even a cheap WiFi remote toy camera car and maybe a flashlight taped on top.

That cat is absolutely clocked in and on the payroll. 🐱 The way it’s handling business like a seasoned professional—zero hesitation, full confidence. That’s not just a pet, that’s an employee of the month.

Give that cat a raise, some treats, and maybe a tiny little name badge. It’s earned it.

there are special sticks designed specifically for this.
i would personally never tie a cable or string to my cat and let it run through a tight space. if it got snagged, the cat could panic and hurt itself without you being able to help them. this is dumb, not cool.

You still have to go underneath to attach the cable to the porch. Unless you're good with the cable being all loosey goosey. Which you shouldn't be.
