retrospec | > Post kittens.

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

The idea that they could actually be highly competent but Jim keeps fucking them over is hilarious?

Well hopefully your future cat will not be sad then.
You seem like you do care about their health and happiness or whatever so I think you'll be fine whenever you decide to do it.

right? i'll even forgive him for that video if that's the case tbh
i can just imagine janet checking the network and seeing that and thinking
why is it always jim

thanks! ♥（ﾉ´∀`）
i'll do my best to be a good cat dad when i can finally take care of one

They all go to work the next day, see this, and wonder who gave him access to the video editing software.

There are plenty of people around who seem to be crazy about cats here so if you need any help people will be running to help.

maybe he's an idiot savant
comes up with great plans but then ruins them himself
and they can't even keep him out because he always finds a way back in

those people have good taste! i know a few already so i'll be sure to ask them

It's like being so brilliant that you somehow work your way back into being a tool with a brain the size of a pea.
Maybe we should be congratulating him?

Make sure they actually know what they are talking about.

might as well
especially since janet probably turned that weirdo down so he might feel better getting congrats for at least one thing
good work jim!! (*＞ｖ＜)ゞ*゜+

i'll be extra careful though, don't worry
no feline friends will come to harm in my care!

Jim, you somehow exceeded our very low expectations and accomplished more than we thought you could.
I'm golf clapping.

God I think this has been the longest I have ever talked about cats.

it just goes to show you!
you can do anything if you put your mind to it ( ´艸｀)

cats are a great topic though!
and you're pretty fun to talk to, too
so if you ever want to chat cats again, you know where to find me! （´▽`)ノ

[STUCK HERE IN RETROSPEC APP HELL.]

[ karkat learned a valuable lesson here today and it's that in order to get people to like you, you gotta talk about your cats ]

I'll set up one of those booths, like the one that girl had in that comic? Peanuts?
But instead of being a psychiatrist it'll just be a booth for talking about cats.

[This is 100% true, Kiyomitsu can vouch for it.]

that'd be pretty popular tbh!
everyone likes talking about cats

except for the weirdos who think they're bad luck or whatever
