We're not going to lie to you, feline fam, we have often dreamed of mysteriously waking up one day in the body of a cat. Just leaving behind our jobs, our friends, even ice cream, all to be a lazy house cat purrfectly perturbed by our inept hoomans. However, that dream has stayed a dream because we know it's not physically pawssible (yet). However, there are others that take it one step further by pretending to be a cat…online. 

Now, we must be clear that this story is 100% fiction, but we're sure there are people who do this for real. The poster (wife) wrote an absolutely hissterical fan-fiction post about her husband pretending to be a cat online for three years. But, that's not even the best part. The commenters somehow seemed to miss the fact that it was not real, and their reactions are purrfectly serious. It's a giant trainwreck of a post, but it's one we can't look away from in all the funniest ways. Soak up all the silliness below!

  • After writing for I Can Has Cheezburger for years, you start to become a bit desensitized to the internet. However, there are some posts and images that make us giggle as if we're seeing them for the first time. This is one of them. Even now, as we're writing this, we can't stop laughing.

    Okay, so I'm literally shaking while typing this. My husband and I have been married for five years, together for seven. He's always been kind of... quirky? Like he talks to our cat in full sentences but I thought it was just cute or whatever.

    Last night, I was using his laptop because mine di d, and I noticed his Reddit was still logged in. I know, I know, I shouldn't have snooped but something in me told me to look.

    Y'all. This man... this GROWN MAN... has been running a whole-a cat roleplay account. for THREE YEARS. He writes in first person AS A CAT. Like, "Human forgot to feed me today. Vengeance will be swift. Time to knock glass from high place."

    He's... popular. Like top posts, awards, thousands of followers. People genuinely think he's a cat. He has INTERNET FRIENDS that think they're talking to some sassy British shorthair named Mr. Whiskers. He gets into fights with other cat accounts about territory and kibble brands.

    I don't know what to do. He's the love of my life but I can't look at him without imagining him typing out "Mlem. The humans have displeased me once again."

    SparkKoi I mean.... It's roleplay. Remember when you were 13 and you pretended to be Bella the Twilight princess except with an Edward who is slightly less of a ? And then you went online and you wrote little fanfic stories about it? 00

  • We get it. We get it more than we would like to admit. It might be fun to pretend to be a cat for a few hours every day. Cats are the best. They don't care about anyone except themselves and are hilarious. It might even be more fun than being ourselves.

    Will did it. It was fun. I know lots of people who roleplay as animals. That is, the character that they are trying to pretend to be is a animal. It's actually very popular.

    There is a video game that was released recently called "stray,", where you are a cat and you must do things. There is another video game out there called "untitled goose game", and you are a duck and you must terrorize people. It is no different. It's just that he is

    writing whatever he wants, outside of any need for a video game engine, physics, pixels, and so on. He can do whatever he wants in his environment, regardless of how much space is environment takes, how long it would take to load, how many players there are, how much inventory space he has, and so on.

    You just have not seen this before and have not understood the side of him so you sort of freaked out. Honestly, I think that you might enjoy being his pretend rival, and learning this new hobby with him.
