No it says he's an artist, clearly this is high-quality artisanal cheese.

A real entrepreneur would say he's an artisanal artist

With unfortunate life experiences I can confirm what this man says is true.

PLEASE WARN YOUR COWORKERS BEFORE YOU FEED THEM YOUR TITTY CHEESE.

Surely he just means that he left the church and is no longer a pastor at... 18!

I'm thinking he lost custody of his multiple kids before the age of 18.

and still there's people that pretend perfection doesn't exist

It is actually impressive for such a young man to accumulate that many cats. No commitment issues here.

If you live in conditions squalid enough, they come to you quite by their own accord.

And they multiply pretty quickly, someone started feeding the parking lot cats at work like two years ago, now we have dozens all over

I know this is a contentious issue but I think we should eat cats.

And dogs.

My thinking was that, if we have an unmanageable population of cats, why don't we solve the problem the way we solve all biodiversity- by eating it?

I'm not saying we should, I'm just saying it's a possible solution.

Is it even meat we'd want to eat though?

Also the easier solution is more TNR and more education and resources to help prevent dumping unwanted cats.

I worked with a shelter for a bit which specialized in feral cat populations. They would work with local landowners and municipalities to trap feral cats and engage in both TNR and they would separate out friendly cats to adopt out. They also worked with a local community college's vet program to run an annual spayathon, with low cost spay/neutering services available, giving veterinary students valueble experience and helping reduce cat populations.

With enough funding such projects can be successful, but its ultimately a numbers game since one mother can have a litter of 5+ kittens every year, and those 5 kittens can have litters the next year and so on, so it takes a lot of hands on work trapping, spaying/neutering and releasing and maintaining that progress indefinitely to make a dent in the local popupation. There's always going to be a few cats you never catch who keep the population going, so you have to limit their impact on the overall population

If we're past the moral point then let's talk! I mean Chinese eat birds nests, I'm sure we can accommodate cat in some cuisine. If not for flavor or texture then for the good of ecological balance. It would be weird if we only ate everything except cats and end up with 600 million cats. There are 600 million cats in the world by the way.

They breed fast, they're lean, and apart from the presumptive ethical consideration it just makes good economical sense.

Can confirm. There are a lot of strays in my country, my parents always leave food in the garden, so they have quite the colony in the garden now.

You have never met one.

All the ones I know will eat despite knowing the consequences.

I used to work for one that would eat cheese pizza he ordered for the crew and then he would gas up the register line and go hide in his office.

It's a special treat. You know how some folks get shit faced and call that a good time? Lactose intolerant people face shit and call it a great time.

In fact, I'm gonna steal the part about mommy and add it to my profile too. A focking masterpiece.

I sense a secret underlying passion for dairy product, barely hidden beind the gamer introduction.

Makes sense, no cat would allow their servant to be so entitled as to claim to live with them. No no no!

They are allowed to exist near them. Under them.

It explains why this guy is searching for a dommy mommy. He knows his place! Insert horrible sex puns here

Ex-father (?)

Weird way to say widower or were the kids taken away and he's lost all custody?

He's looking for a dominant mommy so maybe he used to be a dominant father. (?)
