Re: spoilers, I have learned to approach things through the lens of Ebert's Law: "A movie is not about what it is about. It is about how it is about it."

In other words, if knowing the spoiler ruins the movie, it's not actually a very good movie.

Yea, good movie is still good if you know the ending and a shocking twist ending doesn't make a bad movie any better.

Seriously. How the hell is a cat going to scar or disfigure you unless it's a drat lion? Plus yeah, you'd kinda have to directly antagonize a cat for it to do anything to you whereas a dog can hate your guts for simply existing near it.

My brother got attacked by a stray that got into our house. Went to the ER and got all kinds of antibiotics or whatever, and still has some scars.

That said, he also got beat up by one of my rabbits, so that probably affects things.

I walked into someones house for a party, and before they had finished explaining they had a cat I had slash down my leg. Ive been bitten and clawed probably half a dozen times despite by the second time attempting to avoid and never interact with the cats in question. I have never visited someone with a cat without at bare minimum the cat hissing and aggressively reacting to me instantly to the point where I just dont visit people with cats, ever.

Velocity probably has a market of literally just me though so the fact I didnt know about it until now is rip their business.

My ex had a cat that was actually a spawn of Satan. She could be incredibly sweet to me and my ex, but had to be sedated at the vet for the most minor of treatments (and needed us to come get her out of the cage afterwards because she'd maul anyone else who tried). There were two people in the world whose souls she knew her dark overlord required and if they came to visit we basically had to shut her in the bedroom or she'd put them in the ER.

She eventually got a nasty form of cancer and we had to have her euthanized. The day the vet came to our apartment she wasn't eating, just laying in my lap all docile and ready to go. But man, when the vet gave her that first shot she sprang back to life. Pretty sure he needed stitches.

RIP you vicious little demon.

How does this happen, most of the interaction I've had with other people's cats involved them coming to sit on my lap despite not knowing me. That's some bad luck on your part

My cat doesn't like some people, but she just gives them a hiss and a couple of swipes in their general direction to tell them to gently caress off.

I'm honestly not quite sure that cats can tell individual homo sapiens apart, in my experience it depends more on the cat's personality. You have chill cats and not-chill cats.

Yeah, I've definitely been scratched and bit my more cats then dogs in my life. I'll pretty fearlessly stick my face right up next to any random dog I see but generally don't want to touch a cat unless Im wearing welding gloves.

Cats probably can recognize individual patterns, sounds and smells, even if they don't register them as anything more than that.

I have no idea. I visited a friend for the first time and took my shoes off and left it at the front of the house with all the other shoes. Friend knows Im cat adverse and tells me, dont worry, theyre scared of strange people and just stay in their room and are super affectionate otherwise. Not even five minutes pass when both cats come sprinting out into the living room, alternating between clawing my shoes and only my shoes to pieces and hissing at me until my froend has to get a broom to physically push them out of the room.

Theyve never done that before, they say, like all the others.

Like, as an unlicensed catologist, if I had to guess it does sound like the cats can smell the evil oozing out of you. Maybe try being less evil or get some odor eaters or something?

Recently I visited a friend of my spouse. They have a small child and a cat, and so were convinced their cat would be fine with me despite my background with them. She is so friendly, they said, she plays with our infant, she likes being petted, everyone in the neighborhood cuddles her. Despite this, I refused to approach the cat because why have a 7th unpleasant experience with a supposed nice cat, but my spouse, encouraged, put out their hand to pet the cat. It promptly bit them.

Papparich is overpriced stall food. If you want Malaysian food, ask your taxi driver or Malaysian whom you know/are staying with where the best mamak food is, and I guarantee you'll have a better, healthier and arguably more hygienically-prepared* meal than what Papparich is serving. Poor Australians don't know what they're missing out on.

*Though this last one REALLY depends.

Papparich has chopsticks hiding in every marketing photo of their food. I just assumed it was an odd part of their branding? Are chopsticks that rare in Malaysia?

you're not gonna be using chopsticks to eat malay food unless you want to look racist and think all asians eat with chopsticks. so they're probably appealing to the lowest demographic.

either use forks/spoons or your hands.

Eating Malaysian food with chopsticks is no more racist than eating pizza with a fork.
