Sit where you are, invite them to come join you

pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de · 64 pts · 313d (3 replies)

Watch as they both ignore you.

gerryflap@feddit.nl · 38 pts · 313d (1 reply)

Then at least it's their own fault

Natanael@infosec.pub · 20 pts · 313d

Nothing is a cat's fault - cats

RedEyeFlightControl@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 313d

Then you gotta play the game. Stand real still. Lick your arm. Scratch your head a little. Then spaz out and run away.

panda_abyss@lemmy.ca · 25 pts · 313d

That’s what a cat would do

BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network · 116 pts · 313d

The same thing a cat would do. Look at them both, give a slow blink, then stand up and walk away to go do my own thing.

Check mate kitty 🙀♟️🎭

Power move. You sit down in the hallway and make them come to you.

Refuse to participate in this no-win scenario.

Instead? Ignore them and eat a can of tuna.

PattyMcB@lemmy.world · 30 pts · 313d (1 reply)

They will both come running to demand you drop some tuna for them

FuglyDuck@lemmy.world · 39 pts · 313d

This is the ideal, yes.

If you can’t win a scenario, change the scenario.

otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 7 pts · 313d (1 reply)

Precisely. I came to comment simply: open a can of anything. Solved.

Natanael@infosec.pub · 2 pts · 313d

Sometimes you can even close one

Curious_Canid@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 313d

Just make sure they don't have access to where you sleep.

jordanlund@lemmy.world · 51 pts · 313d

Sit in the hallway and go "Ps, ps, ps."

very_well_lost@lemmy.world · 48 pts · 313d (1 reply)

Turn and walk away. Never negotiate with terrorists!

LadyButterfly@reddthat.com · 7 pts · 313d

Mate I'm still laughing as I type this comment thank you so much

handsoffmydata@lemmy.zip · 38 pts · 313d

Walk into the kitchen, shake treat container.

Taleya@aussie.zone · 32 pts · 313d (1 reply)

Sit in the hallway and open a bag of treats

LadyButterfly@reddthat.com · 1 pts · 313d

You got game

Fanfare2217@lemmy.world · 30 pts · 313d

There is this thing called "pspsps" did you know that?

Microtonal_Banana@lemmy.zip · 24 pts · 312d

I sit in the hallway and say 'pss pss pss pss" while making a scratching motion with my hand. The cat that comes over first becomes King.

felixwhynot@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 313d

Lay on the ground and meow

Ooh, a double slit! Do like the ol' photon or electron interfering with itself, both slits at the same time.

The revenge of Schrödinger's cat.

usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca · 18 pts · 313d

Close both doors, but not enough to latch, then watch which cat caves first and opens the door

lath@piefed.social · 17 pts · 313d (2 replies)

Go into either room, pick up the cat in it, then throw it in the other room and close the door.

PattyMcB@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 313d

I found the dog owner

ryannathans@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 313d

Hey you took my answer

JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz · 14 pts · 313d

If they are my cats, choose the dark one because the white doesn't want to play, he just wants food, and will literally do this if I try.

SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 313d (4 replies)

One is lying and one is not. How do you find out without getting scratched?

rustydrd@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 313d (3 replies)

Left one's the liar 100%

WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 313d (2 replies)

Racist!

rustydrd@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 313d (1 reply)

Man, just look at that dramatic ass pose. He's full of shit.

WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 313d

Fair.

SaraTonin@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 313d

Say “ma-ah!” at them.

That’s apparently cat for “come here”.

Agent641@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 312d

Make sure they can both see me and understand that I heard their cries. Turn my back and walk away.

Meet injustice with justice.

DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works · 11 pts · 313d (1 reply)

Ask Schrödinger to put you in a box, split yourself into 2 timelines, then you can satisfy both cats.

rmuk@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 312d

Okay, so which cat gets the corpse?

tdawg@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 313d (1 reply)

Turn around bc I forgot my water

Mongostein@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 313d

Can you grab mine since you’re going back?

jaupsinluggies@feddit.uk · 8 pts · 312d

Shut both doors, then open a different one and say "Whose a lovely kitty then?".

Korhaka@sopuli.xyz · 8 pts · 313d

I take out a pack of car treats and now both cats are in the same room

sircac@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 313d

Turn around and walk away, they will understand...

ef9357@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 312d

Shake the treat bag so they both come to me.

D_C@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 313d

Pfft, easy. I always have a full roasted chicken hidden about my person. ALWAYS!

ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 7 pts · 313d (1 reply)

I sit right where this pic was taken from and start clicking my tongue and blinking at em. Their move.

LadyButterfly@reddthat.com · 3 pts · 313d

Power move. I like it.

yakko@feddit.uk · 6 pts · 313d (1 reply)

I whip out my phone and throw the question to chat. Naturally

PartyAt15thAndSummit@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 313d

To Le Chat, you say?

WanderingThoughts@europe.pub · 6 pts · 313d

Choose one cat and chase it around the house. Next time they're not so sure they want to be picked.

NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone · 6 pts · 313d (1 reply)

Get a bag of Dreamies.

rustydrd@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 313d

Congratulations, you now trained your cats to play this little mind game once a day every day.

trashcroissant@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 312d

With my current cats I have a clear favourite so I would go to her, and then the other one would run in the room and demand the attention because he is a needy little shit. I love him though, he just never lets her (or anyone) have a moment of peace.

switcheroo@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 313d

Sit in the hall in view of both.

Put the ball back into their court. The little hellions...

AllToRuleThemOne@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 313d

Doublesplit Experiment. POV: You are in superposition.

renrenPDX@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 313d

It looks like you have two office/computer setups. Black chair person goes to pink chair and Pink chair person goes to black.

Observe reaction and report back.

LadyButterfly@reddthat.com · 2 pts · 313d

Came here for the comments, was not disappointed. Thanks al!

regdog@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 309d

Split myself down the middle and play with both cats

SethTaylor@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 312d
