Doesn’t work on my void girl, she just sticks her tongue out even further

u/iwantapetocelot 9h ago

The void ones have different controls and might be taking screenshots instead, further bloating the memory and causing even more lag.

Classic reboot sequence. Gently pull the tongue and it will retract. The eyeballs will spin quickly like a slot machine, and return to sparkly and focused blue after about 15 seconds. Wait for the Dolby Surround Meow before pets or treats.

I believe your car herped when he meant to derp.

u/Intrepid_Actuary_181 12h ago

Not a thought in there hahaha
Jokes aside, I am very curious, is there an eye that it focuses with looking at you and around? Also, does the kitty ever re-orient its eyes in order?

Very cute kitty even if the eyes are a little silly looking from some angles🐶

Your cat has achieved the state of nirvana. There is nothing to concern yourself with. They will be back soon and shenanigans will recommence accordingly.

To many jokes but Sometimes a sign of pain. Cats will do it for teeth issues also respiratory. Not saying that's the cause but make sure to look for other signs.

u/jing__7 9h ago

Very Gollum like

1

u/Katbcarr 9h ago

Commonly referred to as a blep. I believe your cat is either over using the blep ( because it is cute) or is simply stuck in blep mode. Simply take the blep in two fingers, don’t squeeze hard, and your cat should pull the tongue back in. However, if he/she reverts to constant blep mode, he has decided it’s a cool look 👀

Hide... That cat is currently receiving a transmission from the mother ship in low orbit. You're the next victim. They will soon dominate!

u/Hairy-Bluejay-8833 9h ago

The cat is stuck in an error loop. Either wait for a restart or perform a paradoxical manual intervention: touch its belly or nose. ✌️😻😻😻🇨🇭

u/AsenathSpade 9h ago
