I don't know what it is about a certain kind of nerd and everything "fae" recently, but I feel like too many things are being associated with faeries, and put under an umbrella term named after them.

And their power level is rocketing up to Galactus levels.

It's like the words magic, myth, fantastical and supernatural have been replaced by fae to make it all fairy-esque with pretty and/or grotesque twigpeople as mascots. Sometimes it seems Godzilla is a fae, Thor is a fae, Bigfoot is a fae, Kraken is a fae, C'thulu is a fae, Jehovah is a fae, Dragons are fae.

If the cat thought you had nothing to offer, they wouldn't be coming to you. I'm pretty sure most house cats have been trained to think humans are magic food dispensers.

It's actually really fascinating - cats seem to rapidly learn culture while they're weaning

Cats in Japan are very friendly and trusting of humans, cats in America are more cautious and wary

Japan has folklore about multiple variations of cat yokai that range from fickle trickers to malevolent supernatural ones. Cats are considered good luck, killing them invites bad luck. They have euphemisms like being in no position to refuse even a cats help, and their presence being a good omen

America has folklore about cats being bad luck, and tied to witchery. We still use euphemisms about skinning cats, letting them out of bags, swinging them, etc. Killing cats wasn't abnormal behavior even a century ago

And apparently, if you bring a female Japanese cat to America, it'll take several generations for the descendents to localize to the culture. They even meow differently

dude i think they were trying to see if you were dead so they could get an easy meal

Yog Sothoth cares not for your meaningless mortal science. Ia.

Terrazoology and cosmozoology

Selling your soul is an easy choice when it gets you a 1d10 cantrip that deals a damage type that is almost impossible to be resistant to.

Horny? Tentacles?

I've talked to my roommates about this, how we'd eat like a bowl of canned chili every day with a dollop of peanut butter as a treat.

Funny, I actually have a running story in my head like this. People kept in little cages like hamsters, aliens choosing breeding pairs, or training them to fight each other. Some aliens would be debating the ethics of it all while others go, “Humans are much stupider than we are, so it’s okay to treat them like this.”

All it dose is sleep, eat, and stare at a self illuminated window all day.

Or they met one that fed them.

Not really. Not-fear is learned, running away is instinctive.
