Spanish is a bit more casual than the translation. More like “gotta cat?” “now ya do” “and that’s how I got cat”.

You have a right to a cat. If you do not have one, one will assign itself to you.

My using 100% of my brain to recall the spanish i (should) know because i lived in spain for 4 months.

I wouldn't mind seeing more comics in Spanish here!

Simple Spanish too. You could read this with a bit of American high school spanish

"Do you have a cat? No? Well you do now!"

The cat in top panel looks like a dog.

The one in bottom looks like someone dressed as a cat.

Is it just me who imagined the thickest, most grungiest of voices the cat speaks in?

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 23 points 14 hours ago

I heard Antonio Banderas

I think it's its face lol

[–] the_artic_one@programming.dev 7 points 14 hours ago

I definitely imagined it deep and raspy, like the cat in that HBO cartoon El Perro y El Gato.

I mean … yeah, that how it works, actually.

i was going to say that's how i got my cat. he LITERALLY walked in the door, jumped up on the couch and never left. lol

16 years later and he's still here on the couch next to me.

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 15 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

That's delightful.

I imagine his origin story, as an alley cat talking to another alley cat:

"Those house cats have it so nice. I wish I could have that."

"Bro. Just pick a human. They're push-overs."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah. You just wait for their door to open and then pick your spot in the couch."

"That easy?!"

"It's that easy."

"I'm gonna do it."

he did it and now he's fat and lazy like i am. lol

You're not far off the mark. One tomcat I had once brought with him a new cat, a girl I hadn't seen before. He shared his food with her and now she lives here as well.

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 11 points 12 hours ago

Would be funny if he brought a different cat every week.

This comic was already posted in this community around February. (Don't mind me I have untreated ADHD)
