The elusive Prairie Cat.
I have a video of my cat called “sleeping cat”. It’s 22 hours long.
Next they evolve opposable thumbs.
Its only a matter of time before they are ordering pizza on your credit card.
Now this is what the internet was designed for . More Cats !
The descendants of those Kzinti I was forced to abandon on this planet about 4000 years ago have obviously devolved. But clearly they retain the ability to stand. Fortunately for Earth, Kzinti males have no interest in this tiny subspecies.
…which proves that cats are upstanding members of the family.
…or conversely,
I’ve tried, but I just can’t stand cats.
Maybe 45 years ago saw picks of a full sized poodle lined up with some nine or so year old girls dancing on its hind legs. It was about their size. It spent about as much time on its hind legs as on all fours. X-rays showed it had a small change to the pelvis. The same thing could easily happen with cats the only question being do you want to create a population of same by selective breeding. Some extra digit cats have semi thumbs.
Combine the two and you have???
Combine the two and you would end up with thumbthing.
Red Dwarf had it right.
I saw one of my cat’s stand once… creepy as hell. Studio Ghibli (often called the Japanese Disney) did a movie called the cat returns, filled with standing (animated) cat’s. Looked weird and unrealistic until i saw mine do it.
Watch out Lolcats and Longcat… now there is Standcat.

…well, it’s not like cats are famous for their poor balance and weak hind legs. :-/
Some more info on this meme,

all the short hair cats i have had, have always done this. (the one long hair, a persian, -i never saw do this) May also be a combined product
of their environment and/or owner.
if they are in a boring environment (for a cat) -they may never be compelled to do this.
when i had the persian, the apt we lived in was very subdued and boring-no windows that had any “activity” in them. (apartment in back of building) all other apt/houses were quite the opposite..

Obviously a broomstick up the ass. Almost thought
it was a stick up the pussy-cat. But that would be silly.
“Next they evolve opposable thumbs.”
OMG! It’s happening.
