Oh my god I love this, thanks for posting!

TIL ham stands are a thing.
Jamonera. It’s usually for Serrano. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamonera
And here I thought it’s just a hand stand by someone with a speech impediment!
Those Costco serano hams cost a few hundred bucks!
Pro tip: cats can’t open doors
Oh they very much can.
When I was a kid, ours opened the doors by jumping at the door handles. Grabbing them and pulling them down.
They even taught their kittens
We had to install all handles so they pointed upwards, just so the cats couldn’t grab them
But even that only lasted a couple months until they learned to latch onto them anyway and wiggle around until their weight pulled the handle to the side and opened the door
Clever fluffy bastards
Handles? Luxury! We have a cat that can grip and twist a doorknob with both paws. She needs a nearby windowsill to sit on, so there’s only one door where she can do it.
You could lock your doors, but then again next thing you know you find your cat watching locksmith lawyer and clawing its way in.
One or two of ours have discovered how to turn on the heated blanket.
“Overlap between the dumbest humans and the smartest cats”
I don’t know if my cat understood what the button did or if it was just because he knew he could get my attention, but my cat knew how to turn off my computer.
Surprised no one though of round knobs instead
They are simply not a thing where I live (also quite annoying to use compared to a handle)
Totally. We had to switch to round nobs on the doors for this very thing.
Sweet summer child
This is the last thing cats hear before they start opening the doors in your house.
I have caught one of my cats opening some doors
mine will rattle the handle until I open it for her, and after about fifteen seconds she’ll do it herself. she’s adorable.
Some cats can open doors, the others will just keep reaching underneath them and flicking the doorstop spring until someone opens it.
pro tip: to keep your cats from being unable to open doors, install knobs. we have handles.
That cat…isn’t jumping. They’re being held for the photo
To be charitable, it’s possible they mean the cat was caught with hands mid-jump, not caught on camera.
Haha I mean you’d have to be veeeerrry charitable
Caught in someone’s hands, mid-air, at the same time someone snapped a photo
yep. it’s quite obvious if you take a closer look
I had a cat that was a total food fiend. Eating pizza was hard because he’d try to get some for himself.
When I would make burgers on the grill, the food I prepped in the kitchen - bun, lettuce, tomato, etc. - had to go in the microwave or he’d grab them while I was working at the grill. He was relentless.
One time I had some friends over and warned them to watch the food. They didn’t believe me when I said how quick he could be. Later, I found part of a burger in my bed.
Another time, he and I were staying at my parents place, and I got up one morning after they had left for work and noticed a red spot on his white fur. I asked my mom about it - turns out he had pushed a cake in a container off the counter to get some icing that was on the outside edge, and the spot was icing.
He had a lot of food allergies, so he could only eat one specific variety of prescription cat food, which he didn’t like very much. That’s what drove a lot of his actions. I couldn’t blame him. Unfortunately, the food allergies were IBS that eventually evolved into cancer.
I miss him. He’s been gone 10 years now, and I still think of him a lot.
When I was a kid we did one of those adventure outings with zip lines and obstacle courses on the wooded back area of an old farm. The farm had a couple dogs that were notorious for stealing food as a pair. We were warned but we could never have been ready. One dog waltzed right into our lunch circle and flopped for belly rubs. The other dog started grabbing brown bags full of food. When he was done the dog doing the distraction jumped up and sprinted away. The employees knew what was happening as soon as the first dog rolled over though. So we did get our lunches back.
That is amazing.
What was his name?
Snowball. That was his shelter name, but I’m a fan of the Simpsons, so I had to keep it.
Why couldn’t that Chrysler hit me instead.
RIP snowball, You were a good cat I hear.
good cat.
He really was. My best friend. We had so many adventures together.
When my wife and I were getting serious, she said something like, “I’m not sure what to do about Snowball. I don’t think he likes me.” I said, “Are you serious? He loves you! Why do you think he curls up on you when you’re laying on the couch? That cat might like you more than me.” She had grown up with dogs and just didn’t know cat language.
Snowball is gone, and a kitten we adopted late in Snowball’s life has also passed away from medical issues (and that one hurts so much, too - poor thing was only 7 years old - at least Snowball got a normal cat lifespan). But we have three cats now, and a dog.
I’m a simple man and have never seen a ham harness before.

I’ve never seen ham look like that before, it’s fucking huge! I’ve not even seen ham even close to a quarter of that size.
Pouncing like a puma!
That’s a $650 ham btw.
Does it make you regrow teeth?
Perfectly captures holidays with cats
Ha! That’s pretty funny. Are those hams good? Are they worth the hundreds of dollars that they cost?
What the heck is wrong with their shoulder?
This fake bullshit would be more entertaining if it didn’t have a cancer media caption at the top.
