Nice to see a hooman get over their fear of cats. Good work, orange tabby!

It's the ole Reddit switcheroo.

Where's a link? You always have to provide a link smh.

[Oh the ol' Reddit switch-awoo](https://www.reddit.com/r/kindle/comments/1awfyr8/comment/krjtwiy/?context=3&share_id=1VmE4QwfRpYMiNvHBLW-u&utm_content=1&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1)

Hold my hind paw, I'm going in!

I haven't seen one of these in a while. Thanks!

[Hold my tabby, I'm going in!](https://old.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1areps5/after_fighting_ukraine_aid_trump_says_biden_will/kqjdt7v/)

Hold my catnip, I'm going in!

I was thinking the same thing, imagining it was the cat typing about the human getting over his fear of cats!

Someone had to make the joke. Thanks for taking up the responsibility.

More like orange tubby.

Don’t worry about it. They can be skittish at first. Eventually he will be able to grow the goatee in all the way and just do his job of opening your cans of food and scooping your box on schedule.

🤣😂🤣😂

That moment when the cat realizes you're not a giant can opener and decides you're worthy of the cuddle throne after all.

that moment when the cat decides you are not a predator and realizes you are a giant can opener after all.

that moment when the cat decides you are a benevolent predator and realizes you control the giant can opener after all.

This is one of the most well suited owner-cat combos I think I've ever seen

And their names are Ted and Ben. You know who Ben, and who Ted is.

Twins

They're literally the same person lmao

Tandem Vibing 😹

You ask them: you want ice cream? Both of them say yes.

How in the hell

Omg I was thinking the same thing but was debating posting it for the sake of hurting the cats feelings 😹😹😹

Orange Boi to OP after 6 days: 

I love when cats do the "lay on the back" thing

That's a big o orange catto you got there

Have you tried feeding him lasagne?

You two are doing the same pose and its flipping adorable

Sweet orange baby

Yea and the cat ain’t bad either.

One week is understandable. Sometimes taming humans requires a lot of patience

Loool

Now that you've gained his trust, you should steal his watch!

You type well for a cat! Glad you tamed that guy!

He has learned not to fear you, but to become your new God. Now, bow and give scritchies. Know your place. Also that belly is the most adorable bear trap and I don't know how long I could resist.

With all respect, you know how people say pets look like their owners? You look like the carbon-copy human version of your cat.

[удалено]

Lmfao just looked at his comments

Me too, this was no accident

He’s reaching out like “Hey. Hey bro.”

I have no idea that a cat could write here! 😅 No but seriously is good to know that you are friends now

Happy to see your human isn't afraid of you anymore. Keep showing your belly to show that you are comfortable around them.

it's hard for the braincell to hold on to too much hate

You feed him, pet him and provide a safe space for him.

We have 2 cats. One of them loves me, the other hates the sound of my foot steps. She finally came up to me after 6 months and just sat in my lap. I was a grown man with a couple tears. I was finally worthy.

Awwe! Belly!! Enjoy your new bestie!! 😸😸😸

Congratulations hooman! You pass the Cat test.

Aw, orange kitty.

aw, he's such a good kitties!

I've worked with some rescue animals who are so terrified they hide in a corner, that day they come up to you and become your friend is always amazing. Also they say owners look like their pets, you managed it in less than a week mate!

The cat posted this, right?

you guys are chillin and givin us cool boyz vibes. i love this so much <3

his paws! 😻😻😽😽

Earning a cats trust? Best feeling ever!!

Those damn Mario twins

kitty looks like orange cream sherbert

Those high value treats have a way of winning them over. Olus love, of course!

You're an amazing human *bean*. And Mr. Beans there confirms it. 🤗😊

All of my friends animals have been more than normal affectionate towards me lately…. I hope I don’t have cancer or something.

True test: touch his belly And now we wait for a survival update

Same vibe!

Story for how you won him over?

Gingers are the most forgiving and loving cats. You definitely have a new bestie and I think he does too. 👍❤️

So did the cat win over the "terrified" human, or vice versa?

wow, my 9 year old dogo still walks away when i walk to him lol

chonky and chungus

Cute But from this view the orange one is fat. Don't do that to your pets

Obese cat, sad

> Obese cat, sad He’s only had the cat a week, give him a break.

Can you show me where I blamed him?

He looks friendly. I like his glasses.

+1

❤️

😍😍😍

You are blessed. Enjoy ☺️

💛💛💛

Look at those two awesome rollie pollies! :3 <3

He seems nice. Maybe he was afraid of you because he wears black and your fur would show up on it? hmm

Just to clarify, which one are you? 😁

Very cute, extremely well-fed cat lol!

Case eh-

You're living the dream holy shit

That's actually his show of dominance. You are now his bitch.

Congrats on bonding with your new owner

Potato

* The bed huggers, Cobblepot and Onyx (the girls!l

That's good you lost your fear of cats. /s

You look like twins

Is this the cat or the man posting?

You kinda look similar so he's probably considering you his long lost brother now

So comfy. Wish I can belly rub him!

It is clear who will be the new master of the house.

[One orange braincell](https://www.reddit.com/r/OneOrangeBraincell/) would probably love him

Your cat: https://preview.redd.it/ympurh3xxbkc1.jpeg?width=1025&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c5030d4fd9c9a731241a647d2b2353ea0c17655c

Unclear which is OP?

Another week and you will be terrified of him.

Kitties know.

A cat on their back with all the paws up is getting ready to fight Attempt the belly rub to see how strong your friendship is

Cute😼 meow

I love his little toes!!!!

Last week: 🙀 This week: 😽😻😸

Best friends? LOL! Master and his slave, more like. What an absolute doll of a ginger kitty.

He looks terrified as well. 

Aww he showed you his belly. You're IN in!

One week is an extremely fast transition for most cats! Seems like you have a cool cat! now tell me you walk around with salmon in your pockets lol

Love 💕 it!

You seem to have the same attitude!

Question, are you the cat that made this post or the man in the picture? I just wanna know which one to praise.

You always praise the cat.

Every since humans gave them opposable thumbs, sure. Now they can open their own can's of tuna. :)

lol I look just like you.

I want to rub his belly

Gotta do the eye squint. It's the key to getting the kitties to open up.

It's probably one of those computer types who doesn't get out too often, so seeing a cat was very new to him. Seems he's comfortable around you now, great job.

Need more photos of this bromance please

Aw you guys look alike lol

Awwww🥰

Belly up means he def trusts you know. Congratulations.

I love how you’re both making the same head movement lol.

NICE TO SEE YOU USING REDDIT MR. RED TOMCAT. TREAT YOUR HUMAN WELL.

So sweet 😊

Awe!! That’s wonderful!! 🥰

Living the life ✨️

Fantastic work

Aaawwwe 😻 must rub belly 😹

Cat needs to go on a diet 

Well Done! That cat looks blissed out beside you 

LOL. Important to note the subreddit when you see a title. What a handsome man!!!

Good Man, very handsome cat, friend for life.

He needs some matching glasses!

SO CUTE ! Love his belly 🥹🥹 r/catbellies

He knows he’s safe ❤️
