I stand corrected. Apparently I understand neither cats or cat people lol I just can't stand the constant rejection. Like I feed you and care for you why can't I hold you? I've had nice snuggly cats in the past, just lately most of them have been rescues with issues. My dog is the best, I can hold her or snuggle her for hours, as long as she's getting attention she's happy. We're both very simple creatures.

Meow meow, let’s be cats to~geth~er 😽 The thing about listening to something after someone is gone: my grandfather was a radio presenter long before I was born and some of his broadcasts are archived. Obviously there’s a different connection there, but I love listening to them now, after he’s been gone for years. Hearing his voice brings me a happy nostalgic feeling. It’s comforting. There’s also the fact that he recorded those things long before I existed, some before my mum existed, and he was an entirely different person than the one I knew, with no real idea of what was to come in his life between when he was recording those things and when I knew him. That’s very cool to me.

@mary kittens are just 🥺😭 aw, I hope your Sunday is wonderful too, cariño 💕

Vivi, I really envy you for having had the privilege of knowing so many cats! also kittens? 🥺 I want to pet some really bad 😭. Hope you're having a wonderful Sunday 💕

I love cats and have had them most of my life. All my cats were little shits. I love them for it... but they're little shits.

Skye

This is why I love you.

Aw, some ramble-ish audio for Sunday 💕 I grew up with lots of cats in the house. Like, I think at some point there were 7 of them? There was a cat couple, a male cat and a female one, they always were near each other, then they got kittens and both took care of them only rarely letting child-me pat them or my mom examine little ones – if they were fine or not. It was more than exciting watching that cat-family. When I was 17, my little brother took a stray cat home. The cat, that ended up sleeping in my bed, on my pillows every night. Oh, don’t get me wrong, he ignored me through the day and denied cuddles, but always came to bed at night. A black cat with the softest fur and magnetic eyes. That one was my study-buddy. And probably the only one I considered my pet. Not the family cat, but mine. Actually, it’s been only a couple of years since I owned a cat. I always loved spending time with cats – and also pets in general, I’m more of a dog person now – patting, scratching them and then getting my hands all scratched and bitten ew 💀 But still, it’s fun. My dog reminds me a cat sometimes(often), especially when she tries to fit into my lap and get pats. And I gotta tell you, she’s too big to fit there now 😅 Existentialism talk is fascinating to listen to. I love listening to people talk even if I don’t understand the topic well enough. Just talk please. And at the same moment, I can’t think on such topics. No, I physically can, but I really try not to. I’ve become softer lately and such thoughts, however beautiful they are, tend to take me to darker corners of this brain I’m stuck with. This part didn’t make the audio any worse for me, I still enjoyed it. Felt safe. I also just woke up after a nap and listened to it in bed. Re~ally nice~ Thank you 💛 Hope everyone is having a nice timezone, it's raining here and I'm soooo sleepy💤

Well I guess it’s my turn for you to make me tear up isn’t it? Beautifully said and wholeheartedly agree. This timeline with all of you in it is my favorite one 💗

I love this and the way it was setup. Lazy Sunday vibes ❤ Yes, I like listening. Yes, I get terribly flustered. And yes, I always feel safe in the Crunchyverse. Always. I am a cat person and I think my cat and Crunchy both are little shits. Thank you ❤

Imagine what it's like for me! I sit calmly, listening to the relaxing whisper of Crunchy and my brain is just "cats lick themselves." And I'm like: ಠ_ಠ

PLS. 😂🤣😂

I absolutely love this!! Beautifully written 💙

Phantasm Cat

Dubose that was so very beautiful ❤

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I cannot! I cannot with you V!

- I want to be a cat. - Because they lick themselves? . . . . . . . . . . . . . Damn, why the hell did I introduce this? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Harumph!! I was gearing up for a really long cultural ramble today and you gave us this instead, lol. How very cat-like of you. 😂 (I don't mind at all, still lots of good thinky tidbits in this one.) The thing that continues to surprise and delight me most about cats is that although they all have the core characteristics you described, they each have VERY different personalities, just like humans. I've had... five long term kitty children over the course of my life. Some outdoor, some indoor. Some snuggle bugs, some goofballs, some perpetual sulky teenagers. (Spoiler alert, current kitty is a sulky teenager -- no naps in laps, no prolonged petting, just supervision and food required with occasional scritches, usually when she wants food. 🙄 But I love her to bits anyway.) The argument for being a human cat is a solid one. You can do whatever you like and people love you anyway. What a life. 😊 I had just woken up from a nap and checked my phone to see a 25 minute old notification. So I listened in bed under the covers. I have a white rustly duvet, lots of pillows, natural light in the room only, and my cat is on the back of a soft armchair in the corner by the window napping and occasionally looking over at me through narrowed eyes. That's the scene here. I like to think that this timeline is not accidental. Kaya mentioned it on lens and I agree. You, Crunch, are existing at this moment in time alongside all of us. And through one way or another we all stumbled on your content in roughly the same time frame. We're here together now, all becoming friends with each other, hanging out, supporting each other, and taking that little bit of Crunchy-ness with us whenever we go out into the world. And if just one person were not here, it would be a completely different dynamic and the friendships would be different. We are all exactly where we are supposed to be in time and space. It makes human connection feel both infinitely large but also very tiny at the same time, to know that friendships and connections are being forged all across the world right NOW. Because of you. It makes me so happy and content that I somehow landed here with all of you wonderful people. We're not listening in 100 years. We're listening now as it's continuing to be made. 💜 And yes, you are a little shit for ending this on a cliffhanger! (You said don't be afraid to tell you what we thought, so that's your own fault. 😂)

This was a pretty cute rambly little thing. Reminds me a lot of streams like Skye mentioned. Your reasoning is sound but it’s def just an excuse to be a little shit. You are so very good at it after all 😉 I needed a pick me up right at the moment you posted this so thank you quite sincerely 💗

I like to think you can easily tell who is a cat owner in the comments. Because the cat owners will say catboy Crunch is so cute no matter what and the non-cat owners are like "he's such a little shit" but he's cute lol That's usually the two reactions I've seen at least. I'm more of a dog person because they're loyal and you can train most of them. Cats are moody. My mom's cat is an asshole and only likes one person, and the last cat we took in liked knocking things off shelves and breaking stuff. I'll stick to looking at cute pictures on the internet. And giving imaginary scritches to catboy Crunch of course. Somebody learning English from a VA talking about wanting to be a cat? Lol But there are people now that try to learn Japanese from anime so that tracks. I like the existentialism and theoretical topics. As a listener it's easy to just close out and go elsewhere. Just have content warnings if it goes too deep.

A morbid thought, but dude just give it to me. I'm fascinated! Just imagine the reality and possibility of someone finding this audio 10 years from now, 20 years, *50 years!* And imagine how the world would be in 100 years, if the world is even around at that point. How someone would think based off those external surroundings and what enters their mind when they hear your voice. Now I'm going to spiral in this thought for the day.. and now because of this, I'm setting a reminder on my calendar to listen to this audio again 10 and 20 years from now as an experiment. Let's see how that goes~ I found this audio very enlightening. First, someone who understands the beauty and sophistications of being a cat following this deep thought of how someone would feel and react to your audio 100 years from now. Who knows the reason, but the fact is someone in the future is listening to this moment, here and now, that's fascinating! Same as you, cats captivated me. Since I was small, I remember trying to meow and walk like a cat in the playgrounds at school a lot. One or two kids would join me here and there, but the rest of the kids weren't so nice about it. That never stopped me tho! I love how independent they can be when they so please and how social and cuddly they are when they feel it best. And them being a little shit... yeeeaaahhh :) Thank you for this lovely audio. I always feel safe and comforted when listening, feels like a cute conversation on the couch while getting scritches and giving scritches back. Stay safe, meow meow 💙

Ahh, I've had some pretty hectic days and the notification dropped exactly as I was finally alone and trying to relax. Super thankful I had my earbuds with me, because I absolutely loved this sfw so much! As Skye said this definitely reminded me of streams and the topic of cats was just 🙌. Hope everyone is having a nice timezone ❤️
