    This meme is a good alibi if you ever wanna take your cat on a work road trip…

    Is that even a thing or am I just weird for wanting to do it?

      The majority of cats fucking hate cars, they’re very susceptible to motion sickness, and have a hard time adjusting.

        My former work had a cat that sneaked onto a customer’s trailer, got off in town, then hitchhiked back. Later, she hopped in the UPS guy’s truck. He found her at the next stop and brought her back.

        My cat is pretty chill in the car… He’s surprisingly chill about almost everything, really.

      It’s happened in my company. The CSO was on a zoom call while driving with his cat in the car with him.

      Both are fine. Sneaked is traditional.

      “Sneaked” is the traditional past tense and past participle of the verb “sneak”. “Snuck” is a newer, nonstandard past tense of “sneak” that originated in the United States in the early 20th century. However, “snuck” is now widely accepted and appears in many publications

        past participle

        Im so glad i was raised in the language so i can just speak without ever needing to learn this shit. My eyes have always glazed over in English class. An adjective that’s also a verb? Gtfo

          Yeah, also when English is your first language you are not judged harshly when you make a mistake.

          The constructed language Lojban doesn’t actually differentiate between adjectives, verbs, nouns and adverbs, because it turns out separating words into categories like that isn’t a useful exercise.

          For example, is “shower” a noun or a verb? What about “bike?”

          Take the word “green.” In English, color words are pretty strictly adjectives. in English, you say a traffic light “turns green.” In Lojban, you would say the light “is greening” or “greens.” Funny how you can also make English do that, huh?

        Speak Spuck.

        It took me a minute to remember what the actual past tense of “speak” is.

        I should’ve really clarified. I wasn’t really trying to correct, I just find snuck to be way funnier.

    My childhood cat came along for a family vacation one time. Climbed in while we were packing the car and we’d gone way too far to turn around when we found out.

      What if he hadn’t sneaked along with you, what, were you just going to leave him at home alone to fend for himself while you’re gone?

        We had a neighbor kid who was watching the house and caring for the 2 dogs and 2 other cats. Why would you make that assumption?

    Took a kitten to SF years ago. Stinky, but fun.

    How did the cat get into the van to begin with, unless they have an irresponsible owner who lets them into the garage/outside?

      Cats be cats. They do cat things, including sneaking into places they shouldn’t.

        People like to say this but I’ve owned cats for nearly 30 years now and only ever had one that tried to sneak around.

          only ever had one that tried to sneak around.

          Oh, so you do understand that some cats try to sneak around, but decided to be judgemental about something you have experience with.

      it’s almost sacrilegious to tell your cat what to do.

      They just do things, they’re like passive aggressive adults that can’t speak.

      Do you not allow your cats outside because of birds?
