retrospec | > Post kittens.

not a bad idea tbh
i'd rather look at cute little kittens than people stabbing fruit any day

do any of them have names yet? (人´▽｀)

The amount of people who were really into stabbing those things is slightly concerning and they were all probably serial killers in a past life.
Or they fried ants with magnifying glasses as kids.

Not yet.
One person suggested Chocobo as a name for one.

right?? that's exactly what i was saying but everyone was like they don't actually feel pain!
like that makes stabbing things that move and smile at you any better (￣□￣)

why would you name one chocobo though

i guess they're both cute, but a name like cupcake would be even cuter

Holy fuck! That makes it even creepier.
That is literally the kind of line that the villain of a horror movie would say.

She said Chocobo because it would confuse people.
Hmmmmm
Cupcake could be acceptable.... I guess the problem would be figuring out which one would suit it best.

thank you honestly, i was seriously starting to think i was the weird one or something with how many people were just out there
stabbing and juicing those happy fruits
and talking about sticking them in blenders (´д｀)

[The future villains anonymous club is too real and also not anonymous at all.]

anyway you should name the sweetest one cupcake!
or maybe the cute black one with the little white face because it looks like it stuck its nose in frosting
maybe one of the speckly ones can be chocobo because they kind of look like they have the feather colors?

It'd be one thing if it was just eating them.
Since it seems like anyone who doesn't have the app doesn't see anything weird about the fruit?
I asked my dad about it and he thought I was the crazy one because NO SON, APPLES ALWAYS WIGGLED AROUND LIKE THAT. Just like the chocobos.
So, you know, obviously people are still going to drink orange juice and shit.
But just slamming them into blenders for the sake of it is just waaayyy too sadistic.

The speckly thing would work better than my idea.
I was going to say whichever one has the most squawk-like meow could be Chocobo.

yeah i give non-app users a pass because they obviously have no clue that crazy things are happening literally right in front of their faces ┐(´～｀)┌
and i guess some of the blender people were talking about it being more merciful
or at least easier than just straight up stabbing them
but i'm still totally not on board

that's kind of a cute idea too though!
maybe you'll get lucky and the squawky one will also be a speckly one ✨

I mean
If they were blending them just to see what it's like to do it then it's still pretty fucked up.

If it turns out that way then whoever it is was truly destined to be named Chocobo, honestly.
That still leaves a shit ton of other names though.

basically yeah
if our fruit friends actually started screaming when we cut them someday, those would be the people who would probably find it funny instead of horrortown

but if one does squawk take a vid to share if you can （´♡`ʃƪ） little kitty sounds are really the best
do you like themed names though?
dessert ones are all really cute!
but it's also cute to name them after patterns... you can't really go wrong with that

I honestly don't know if it's creepier or not that they don't make any noise.
Screaming is horrifying as hell, but the silent treatment makes it seem like they enjoy it which is very NO for different reasons altogether.

Yeah there are multiple people asking to give updates on them.
The mom and dad are named Rom and Com. You know, like romantic comedy?
So matching names are fine, but finding so many matching ones that are actually good would be difficult.

you know
the worst part is, if they're not making any sounds how can we be 100% sure that they're REALLY really not sentient or in pain?
what if they are but all they can do is smile and dance while they're being murdered
omg i spooked myself

ugh

thanks for the updates though, your cats are great and those are the most adorable cat pair names ever ♥
maybe you could just give matching names to the ones that look alike!

......
You are completely right about that???
Everyone just assumes it's fine because their expressions never change, but it could be that they're just permanently stuck like that.

That works.
It'll be easier once I figure out who's going to adopt one probably because then I could ask for their opinions.

sorry for opening that super awful door tbh
but it does put an extra horror movie-level spin on things...

that would probably be the best thing though
especially if you get people who want to change the names or whatever
how many of them are you planning on adopting out?

I mean, considering how weird things have been lately, I would not take something like that off the table.

I think I'm just going to keep one of them unless I can't find enough volunteers.
Then I guess I'll just keep all of the kittens that are left.

hopefully retrospec won't catch wind of this and think it's a good suggestion that should definitely be implemented asap then
because i think i might be out if they do
that might be where i have to draw the line

your place must be the best with so many cats
i want one someday (´；Д；｀) my apartment's too small...
roxy said it's fine if they have small places to live but i want my future kitty to be spoiled with lots of room and places to go
i hope lots of good people come to give them homes though!

I drew the line awhile ago but, unfortunately, the line just went and erased itself.
I guess we could attempt to just not use the app??
But then we wouldn't know if anyone has figured out anything about it.
So if you actually want to find out what's going on you're forced to use it.

Some people I actually know have volunteered so I at least know those cats will have guaranteed decent homes.
My apartment isn't that big but like, trust me.
The kittens will not hesitate to find places to play at.

it might be worth looking into though
like as an experiment or something
maybe people who don't actually use the app don't have to deal with all this other crazy stuff, but maybe it's less the app and more the fact that retrospec's got their eye on us...

but that's good! i'm happy for the cats (人´∀｀)
how much room would you say a cat should have?

So like, all of this shit would be happening to us regardless if we had the app or not?
That's a possibility.

In a lot of cases it's more what you have in your space than how much space you have
My cat Rom likes to climb shit, for example.
So he will climb on top of of the fridge and just sit there until he decides to do something else.

something like that
since we're "chosen" or whatever...
spooky (´ж｀;)

that's really cute though, rom sounds like a good kitty
so basically if we make it cat friendly and have stuff for them to climb on it might be okay?

That honestly could be possible.
The hard part is that we can't actually test the theory out since we all have Retrospec already.

Basically.
You can never really guess what kind of thing a specific cat might be into so just watch in confusion as they do the complete opposite of what you expected.
ALSO I know some people like letting their cats out but I would recommend against that because that is a very good way to let them get run over.

i guess that's just one more reason to see if we can't get this stubborn thing off of our phones
and computers
and tablets
idk about you but it kind of seems like it's following me everywhere

i wasn't planning on letting my cat go outside anyway
i'd be too afraid it would get lost or hurt (;Д;)
or picked up by weirdos
but thanks for the advice! it's nice that there are people like you out here keeping an eye out for cats

No it is definitely doing that to me too.
I had to use my dad's phone for something, and Retrospec was suddenly there?
I asked when he got it installed, he said he had no idea what I was talking about, and when I gave his phone back the app was gone.

I wouldn't call it nice.
I just figure if you're going to do something, like own pets, you better to do it right or else what's even the goddamn point in having them??

same story here
i guess it shouldn't be surprising when some people forget entire species, but still （￣□￣

that's still pretty nice though!
even if you say it like it's just common sense, which i guess it is, it's not like you have to go about stuff like that right?
i'm sure your cats are happy anyway and that's what counts! ✦

It's just weird as fuck because sometimes they seem completely incompetent in the technological front, but then they manage to do shit like that.

They're probably happier than I am.
It must be nice to have zero responsibilities and can just sleep all day and wait for people to feed me.

do you think maybe the incompetent part is an act?
or maybe there's just some really smart guys on their team and then jim ┐(´ー｀)┌

it's only fair for cats to be super spoiled though
since they're so small and adorable and all
a sad cat would just be TOO sad
