catfishing


Catfishin':  The activity of catchin' catfish.


Hmmm...


Nope, I don't think that's it.


Catfishin':  Fishin' for cats.



Now, is that an instruction manual for cats who wanna be fishers?  Like Fishin' for Dummies, perhaps?


Probably not.  After all, we cats don't need to fish.  We delegate that kinda work to our peeps.  After all, that is what they're there for.  PLUS, we are anythin' but dumb.


MOUSES!


Or could fishin' for cats be the act of peeps tryin' to catch cats.


Nah, I really don't think is was that kinda catfishin', either.


Although I, Seville the Cat, am a cat.


And they were kinda fishin'...


So maybe...


Nope, I'm just gonna put it out there and say he was not fishin' for cats.


MOUSES!


Catfishin':  Lurin' someone into a relationship usin' a fictional online persona.


Hmmm....


Yeah, THAT'S what he was doin', for sure.


Although not all that successfully, I'm afraid.


MOUSES!


Hey Christopher!  I'm not interested.  Your kinda fishin' sucks.  Talk to me when you've caught an actual fish.


FYI, I enjoy salmon.


MOUSES!


Gonna say it again.


MOUSES!


Has that ever happened to you, my dear friends?  Has that ever happened to you?  Have you ever received DMs over on the ol' bird app or on Bluesky, from peeps WHOM YOU DON'T KNOW FROM A HOLE IN THE WALL who just outta the blue, send you a message sayin' hi or how ya doin'?  Or friend requests on Facebook from doctors and lawyers and exceptionally high-rankin' military personnel?  Has it?  Has it happened to you?


Well it happened to me just this mornin'.  Yup, just this mornin', I received a message from some Christopher guy, wantin' to say hi.


I looked at his profile.


Man doesn't even live with any cats.


MOUSES!


And a couple days ago, some woman was doin' the same!


Don't think she lives with cats, either.


MOUSES!


These catfishers can be problematic, for sure.


But not to me, of course, 'cause I don't fall for their tricks.  I don't even answer!  I just block 'em and run.


Well...


Well I might first mock 'em a bit.  Mock 'em right here on my blog.


'Cause mockin' peeps is kinda what I do.


USUALLY, I stick to mockin' my own peeps; but some of these catfishers, even though I've never met 'em or anythin', are just BEGGIN' to be mocked, to be sure.


AND WHO AM I TO REFUSE THEIR REQUESTS TO BE MOCKED?


Bwahahahahahahhaha...


MOUSES!


I know, I know...  I know what you're thinkin'.  You're thinkin' that with a handsome and angelic face such as mine, I'm pretty irresistible AND IT'S NO WONDER these peeps are wantin' to say hello.  They just wanna get to know me.  Say they've rubbed shoulders with Seville from Nerissa's Life.


Yeah, you could very well be right, 'CAUSE I AM irresistible, for sure.


But unless they're plannin' on sendin' me broiled catfish with creamy nip sauce on a platter, they're into the wrong kinda catfishin' for me.


MOUSES!

catfishing


Hmmm...


Okay, so I've got a question for the hive mind out there.  Catfishin'...  Now is that about cats who fish, or is it about the species of fish called catfish?  Anyone know?


What?  What's that, Peepers?  What's that you're babblin' on about now?


What do you MEAN catfishin' has nothin' to do with cats nor fish?  What do you MEAN?


It means that?


MOUSES!


Boy-oh-boy, peeps really are weird.


Lurin' someone into a relationship usin' a fictional online persona.  Like I said, weird.  Cats don't ever do that!  I mean, we cats rule the Internet, for sure, but our personas aren't fake.  OUR PURRSONAS ARE REAL!  As real as personas can get.


MOUSES!


So uh, why am I asking 'bout catfishin', you ask?  You wanna know if someone has been catfishin', me?


Well...


Well I think so, yes.  Maybe.  Could be.


But they're bein' real stupid about it, for sure.


MOUSES!


I mean, I'm a cat.  A CAT!  And if you wanna lure a cat into an online relationship usin' a fake persona, try usin' a picture of a sweet ladycat on your profile and not some stupid picture of a bearded man lookin' like he just fell off the turnip truck and accidentally shot himself in the foot while at it.


MOUSES!


And then you wanna try scammin' me with fake claims I won stuff, lurin' me to your "FAKE PROFILE" and askin' me to message you?


THEN TRY TELLIN' ME I WON CATNIP, Buddy, and not that other stupid stuff you're sellin'.


MOUSES!


It seems, as of late, some stupendously stupid peeps have been attemptin' to lure me into fake friendships by leavin' suspiciously spammy, scammy, not-too-subtle messages over on my Facebook fan page, and let me tell you somethin', my friends...


I HAVEN'T FALLEN FOR A SINGLE ONE.


Like I said, pictures of bearded turnip truck casualties don't work on me.


'Cause I'm a cat.


Offers of non-catnip items won't work, either.


Although to tell you the truth, I MIGHT have gone for some actual catfish with a catnip cream sauce.


MOUSES!


And...


Well actually, that's about it, I think.


And what I do with all these catfishin' freaks, you ask?


Well...


Well it's simple, really.  I report, block, delete, then repeat.  NEXT!


MOUSES!


Like we cats don't already have enough on our paws, these days.


MOUSES!
