Cats are naturally attracted to cardboard boxes because it makes them feel safe to be in a closed in space. In the wild they have lots of predators both from the air and the ground and in a box they feel like they can't be seen. This is one of my black idiots and he'll sleep in this box all day long.

I used to have a cat that looked just like the one on the left. That breed is called a tortoise shell. He was a tiny kitten and I found him abandoned in the bushes at a gas station. He grew up to be a really nice cat.

Nope, what he's doing (for about a month) is (mostly) taking them from other people who've posted them on other websites (such as Pinterest & Instagram & Facebook & Reddit, etc.) and uploading them here, without attribution. Run a simple reverse image search. Takes a fraction of a second.* Most of them are not his cats, and not his pics. Not unless he's also "CurvySarah" in Brooklyn, and has also recently been frolicking with kitties in France, and Malaysia, and Bombay, and Italy... Somehow I don't see Bob ever also being a CurvySarah, or very French. Though he is sufficiently courteous to be a closet New Yorker, IMO. But more like the Bronx.

But who would've guessed that a Cat Laddy would have such a shortage of cute kitty pics that they have to steal them? Up to the mods to consider what they may want to do about the copyright infringement issues involved, and the potential legal & financilal consequences for the site's ownership.

*Reverse image search: In most desktop browsers, simply right click on the image, then (in Chrome) click on "Search with Google Lens" (or "Search the Web for Image" in some others such as Microsoft Edge) in the drop down menu, and there ya go - it will show where the kitty cat purrs.

Most of them come from the cat lovers on Facebook. It is perfectly fine to post them somewhere else that's what the people on Facebook are doing. When I don't have time to take pictures of my own cats I post other pictures. This is a I love cats thread not a pictures of my own cat's thread.

Awhile back, I was going to do a parody thread of EB's "I love cats" I was going to name it. "I love p******" " about the rise and fall of a possum. He becomes smart and educated, becomes a big star, becomes a drunk, tries to kill an armadillo while drunk by pushing it into traffic and ends up in prison, and so forth. But I never got around to finishing it.

One thing AI does not do well is hands as evidenced above.
Hands are also notoriously difficult for humans to learn how to draw & paint.

Hey, EB with all those cats on your cat "ranch," what kind of vet bills do you incur? Seems like that would be a heavy burden to keep them happy and healthy.

I was really happy for a while—about 3 to 4 months—after our family adopted a cat. I loved coming home from work each day, knowing I’d get to play with her. She brought so much joy into my life, and I looked forward to spending time with her every evening.

Unfortunately, one day I received a call from my brother saying something had happened to her; she was vomiting. Before they could take her to the vet, she passed away. I was devastated. Losing her left a huge void in my life, and things have felt pretty dull and boring since then.

I think I used to play a set like that with one of my ex-brothers-in-law, although not with dog treats. It always bothered me that 36/8 is non-integer, and.there was no green glass.
