What if you could pet a cat in a room for about eight years

[CaptainWacky]

You don't have to each or sleep or do the toilet or anything, you can just pet this cat for eight years and never have to see another person BUT you die at the end of it. Would you do it/

 

[Cassie]

SOME CATS I migh tpet for 8 years.

 

[Dr Dave]

I would not.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Only if I could also train the cat to pet me back.

 

['Gear]

The straight man's cross to bear.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

I could probably survive with an internet connection and some art materials.

 

[CaptainWacky]

NONE OF THOSE, just a cat.

 

[Love Child]

Yes. Yes I could.

 

[jack]

Can I watch boxing while I pet the cat?

 

[CaptainWacky]

NO THERE'S JUST A CAT.

 

[NeonMercuryASH]

It's probably Schroedinger's Cat, so the eight years never really pass, do they?

 

['Gear]

I have a sneaking suspicion this thought experiment was designed by cats.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

You never do see CaptainWacky and RAPECAT_69 post in the same thread!

 

['Gear]

ah HA!

 

[jack]

I've been petting a cat for 22 years and it's still alive. Does that count?

 

[CaptainWacky]

Not if you did other things as well.
