In space, no one can hear you meow.
Would his face melt? Aliens famously have acid blood right?
Cats are very good at keeping anything alive in their mouth, no blood will leak. It’s even how they carry their babies around.
A long time ago before cats indoors was common, I adopted the kitten of a flatmates cat. We worked out the mother was bringing home wildlife home to train the kitten to hunt. So we started to bring them in during for the night earlier, around late afternoon.
The mother cat worked out what was going on, decided to go catch frogs and other wildlife earlier in the day and keep them alive in her mouth until we went to bed so that she could release them alive later that night. She must have been holding them in her mouth for many hours on occasion.
A long time ago before cats indoors was common
Maybe I should have said 'before cats indoors 24/7 was common'.
Oh wow. That’s pretty smart, but god all those (half) dead animals in the house. Our cats bring them in for entertainment..
Cats often shake their prey to break their necks so it’s very possible to make a kill without piercing the skin (or, in this case, exoskeleton?).
Source: my cat sometimes shakes her head when eating her kibble like a pampered, indoor cat who has never caught live prey would know to do.
ACIDIC SALIIIIVAAAA
Pretty sure it’s the blood too.
In the films and everything, yes, it is just the blood that is acidic. That "acidic saliva" comment is a reference to The Devil Wears Prada song "Alien"
About 1:00 in this music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiYMS1z8Lrw
EDIT: Lyrics
An extraneous existence
An earth-ending challenger
Encroaches upon humanity
Destruction, destruction they’re seeking destruction
Each ten feet tall without remorse
Crawling along the walls
I see the eyes, I see the teeth, see the monster coming through the window
Closing, the doors are closing
I see the eyes, I see the teeth, see the monster
One cannot fathom such a phantom
The demon’s mouth hisses with acidic saliva
Acidic salivaCrawling along the walls
I see the eyes, I see the teeth, see the monster coming through the window
Closing, the doors are closing
I see the eyes, I see the teeth, see the monster coming through the window
Game over, we’re done for
Crawling along the walls
Claws extended
No hope to persevere
Closing, the doors are closing
We’ve been surrounded
There’s no way out
Game over, we are done for
EDIT 2: Okay, apparently "acidic saliva" is canon in Alien. I thought that was entirely just from that song (which is just largely inspired by Alien, not supposed to be based on it), but I see that some aliens did have that ability in the films and such.
The Drone and Runner castes have been shown to possess the ability to spit their blood at targets, although the quantity is small and consequently this means of attack is normally used to wound and disable targets rather than kill them. The spitting ability is used more aggressively by Praetorians, Snakes Rangers, and Spitters, which are capable of spitting lethal quantities of their blood significant distances, giving them a dangerous ranged attack other Xenomorphs do not possess.
Thanks for the heads up.
Would have been a 10 minute short named Jonesy.
literally hours ago someone asked me to 3d print that and linked to an ai generated model but you need a paid account to download it
