They're Maine Coons, not 'House Cats'
They're just commonly understood colloquial names.
Iirc it was a mistranslation and the actual name translated to whale killer.
Can't believe the woke mob is coming for Pinocchio /s
...yet
some can.
some can try, but cant.
some cant even try as their mouths dont allow for it
Don't worry, whales don't attack humans in the wild
Only at theme parks

if nothing else i can't imagine that being in the mouth of a whale would be good for my micromort intake
🤔 What does a lobster diver taste like?
Like it must be crunchy due to the equipment and bones. And then the bubbles from the equipment must be a unique experience. And since they eat a lot of lobster they must be quite tasty.
But then you do pay later with indigestion due to the suit.
I only hope
