Your comment is bad and you should feel bad!

I refuse to make a joke that only people familiar with both British and American culture will understand.

@aerion111  
Yeah, I’ve got two cats of my own. One of which was a stray.

@mfkdso  
If it helps, the elderly cat in my lap, who has liked me pretty much all her life, disagrees with him.  
The secret isn’t to be mean, it’s more like the way you’d befriend an introverted street-orphan who doesn’t speak the local language; If you just grab their arm, all but the calmest will knee you in the crotch and run away. You’ve gotta let them get comfortable with your presence, then earn their trust.  
And don’t expect them to show gratitude just for feeding them; They were clever enough to get you to feed them, and unlike the actual street-orphans (and to be clear, I mean the fictional kind, which may or may not be similar to the real kind) they don’t even have to give you some sob-story crafted for maximum sympathy.  
They’ll take your food as a just reward for their cleverness, and if you want any company in exchange you have to get them to value your company - whether your presence offers safety, or they like being pet, or whatever, just there needs to be some benefit to them.  
Introverts don’t, as a general rule, do social stuff without a benefit.

I actually don’t know what to feel after reading that….

Lyra confirmed for fuzzy catpone

@Tragiclady  
Well, yeah :P We’ve got a decent-sized tag for ponies acting like cats.  
Heck, we’ve got an artist that’s practically dedicated to it too :P

Fine, more Bon Bon for me!

Heheheh. X3c

Like most other mammals, cats feel a mysterious and strong attraction to Lyra.

From an outsider perspective, G4 ponies really do give off a cat like vibe somehow :3

If you want attention from a cat you have only two choices: ignore them, be mean to them. The meaner the better. F*ck you kitty! No no… Those are my cheesy poofs! I’m sorry I love you kitty. No I hate you! Die kitty Die! HAHAHAHA!!!! Stab! Stab! Stab! Noooooo! I’m sorry kitty don’t close your eyes, don’t go into the light! No! That’s a bad kitty! I loved you kitty! NOOOOO!!!!!

Superior cat intellect recognized.
 
Also, apparently Big Buff Cheeto Puff is in town.

Lyra gets so mutch puddy tat.
