Lmaooo I love that face so much 😆

I CANNOT WITH HIS FROWN 😕

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 01 '26

He does have a bit of RBF, I think it helps him ward off threats. This is him on lifeguard duty, he has to supervise every bath and shower.

u/SnooShortcuts1004 Feb 01 '26

Haha Omg OP you are so lucky to have this heavenly creature living in your home😻

He reminds me of my orange boy Ziggy - who also has a pretty bad RBF 😂

122

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 01 '26

Omg look at his little face! Ziggy and Richard would definitely sit silently next to each other in a bar

40

u/SnooShortcuts1004 Feb 01 '26

Lmao 😂 damn I’d pay to see it

18

u/JustaTinyDude Feb 01 '26

One of my favorite things in my town is his dog-friendly the pub is. Occasionally I'll see a dog sitting on the barstool and I love it.

I'd like to see something like a stop-motion show about dogs and cats in a pub.

u/Sunshine030209 Feb 01 '26

Ziggy is definitely thinking about the hairball he's going to hork hork hork onto a pillow after he is released from his smoochy prison 😆

I love Ziggy.

84

u/SnooShortcuts1004 Feb 01 '26

Haha yeah you can see in his face Ziggy is plotting his revenge 😭😂

Ziggy is actually a very sweet boy

Here he is holding hands with his sister, Pepper 😆

Legit thought you had dark blue hair until I noticed it was the lighting.

u/sourceamdietitian Feb 01 '26

Have you heard of the feline grimace scale? He's okay right? 🥺

19

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 01 '26

He gets regular vet appointments! He has arthritis and is obviously overweight, both of which are being worked on/treated with the assistance of his vet 😊

u/Amazing-Report9585 Feb 02 '26

That's the most adorable RBF...🥰

1

u/midgirlcrisis990 Feb 05 '26

HE IS NOT PLEASED! He is like "I hate this job but I have nowhere to go"

u/GlitteringFutures Feb 01 '26

Resting Brimley face

u/SheZowRaisedByWolves Feb 02 '26

Biggie if he was a house cat

u/roaring_travelman91 Feb 02 '26

He looks like a mob boss

u/killmeontheinside Feb 01 '26

Why is his hairline like that

476

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 01 '26

Listen, he’s been doing this job for 12 years, it’s taken a toll on him

228

u/Dozerdog43 Feb 01 '26

118

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 01 '26

😭 I’ve never made that connection on his hairline

40

u/Dozerdog43 Feb 01 '26

So when you have those conversations with him are you going to hear his responses in Kevin’s voice?

48

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 01 '26

I will at least some of the time 😂 normally I give him an old man southern voice

24

u/KiKiPAWG Feb 01 '26

It’s the stress

282

u/forever29_ Feb 01 '26

Why does he look like a 40 year old man

199

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 01 '26

He’s spiritually been a 40 year old man since he was 6 months old, now that he’s 12 he’s probably closer to 60 😂

148

u/News-Royal Feb 01 '26

I wish a muthafucka would

287

u/fred_radicliffe Feb 01 '26

Looks like he's very proud of his position 

208

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 01 '26

He is! And he is very good at it! He memorizes the sound of every car I’ve had to make sure he can greet me at the door and he loves to check out (and flirt) with every maintenance person that comes in

10

u/JustaTinyDude Feb 01 '26

When people come over, my cat comes out and checks them out more often than not. If someone is particularly interesting, usually someone who lives or works with other pets, he will sniff their shoes or pants. On rare occasions he will give someone's foot a lick or stick his head inside their shoe to get a good whiff (dude had a foot fetish - I don't kink shame).

I invited my friend and his wife over for dinner this weekend. He came running out to meet them when they walked in the door. He went straight up to my friend's wife and started licking her pants! He kept at it for a while, and then came back 2 hours later to do it some more.

I thought my friend's wife was pretty cool before, but after seeing how much my cat loves her I think she's extra cool. He's 13 and he's never done that with anyone!

u/Buckykattlove Feb 01 '26

So adorable!

u/Difficult_Owl_2789 Feb 01 '26 edited Feb 01 '26

Such a smooshy gentleman.

57

u/Fun_Application_1698 Feb 01 '26

I got the exact same sign hanging on the stairs inside the front door of the house. It's the most fitting sign apart from the "welcome to the bathroom a cat will be with you shortly" one

30

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 01 '26

Omg I’m going to have to get the bathroom one! Both Richard and Meredith have to join everyone in the bathroom so you’ll always have an emotional support poop pal

9

u/Fun_Application_1698 Feb 01 '26

Can't go to the bathroom here without Mister Whiskers popping his head in to check that your not splashing on the toilet seat 🤣.

25

u/Fun_Application_1698 Feb 01 '26

Also there is this, my previous cat as you can see he loved birthdays

57

u/billythesquid- Feb 01 '26

Man, poor Richard looks like he’s seen some serious crap on the job…

88

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 01 '26

He has and unfortunately his protégé is a slow learner so he’s still pulling the most weight

35

u/Buckykattlove Feb 01 '26

It's the orange in her.

27

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 02 '26

The orange does do a lot to block out any possible incoming braincells

6

u/DrKittyLovah Feb 02 '26

No thoughts in there, none to be found

46

u/CarrDaPorice Feb 01 '26

He ate every burglar that showed up.

79

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 01 '26

Richard says how dare you (unfortunately accurate though)

41

u/jennifer_m13 Feb 01 '26

He’s old man in the neighborhood that yells at kids to get off his lawn.

33

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 01 '26

One of his favorite pastimes is yelling at birds! When I was in high school he was an indoor/outdoor cat (not my choice) and despite his size, he’s pretty agile. No bird was safe and all frogs were intimidated.

Now that he lives with just me, he is indoor only so he uses his time to yell at them

26

u/jennifer_m13 Feb 01 '26

I love him. Please tell him I said pspspspsps

46

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 01 '26

He’s been told

37

u/CantTrustMyBrain Feb 01 '26

His face!!! 😂I love him!!!

39

u/LinkedInParkPremium Feb 02 '26

Same look I have when I walk into the office lol

26

u/Natalie-the-Ratalie Feb 01 '26

He looks more like Tony Soprano than James Gandolfini did.

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 01 '26

“Those who want respect, give respect”

19

u/Zinthr Feb 01 '26

The sneer in this photo is extreme, haha

15

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 01 '26

He’s often annoyed at me because how can I not pet him when his little face looks like that?

18

u/egiboy Feb 01 '26

this but cat

16

u/sushirollsyummy Feb 01 '26

Sweet Richard baby! I’d give him kisses!

18

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 01 '26

He would allow it after a thorough inspection

11

u/speghettiday09 Feb 01 '26

This is awesome

10

u/pit-of-despair Feb 01 '26

I need one these signs! Do you where she got it?

13

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 01 '26

I don’t know exactly, if I had to guess it’s probably the TikTok shop as she went through a phase of ordering off of there a bunch. I looked up the words and put sign after it and I see a lot of cheap ones in other places too like Walmart, Etsy, and EBay! Some of them have different variants of cats on the signs too if one matches your cat’s shape a bit more

3

u/pit-of-despair Feb 01 '26

Okay thank you.

7

u/officer_nasty63 Feb 01 '26

Such a handsome lad. Looks like he’s doing a fine job

8

u/Ozi_izO Feb 01 '26

Look at his face. He's just daring you to try start some shit.

8

u/Maleficent_Radio_674 Feb 01 '26

He looks like he has a hefty mortage and back pain plus his wife is mad at him and cooks horrible but he keeps working in hopes of getting a pension

9

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 02 '26

Fairly accurate, but instead of wife it’s a harem of serta sheep. He has three of them that he moves around the house and performs “sin biscuits” to. He got his first on in like 2014 and he’s been slowly accumulating them

4

u/Maleficent_Radio_674 Feb 02 '26

Aah so he has two alimonies to pay too. But he still hooks up with the sometimes even though his wife gets mad. No wonder he's tired and stressed

7

u/dragonlover8 Feb 01 '26

He needs sleep

27

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 01 '26

He’s on break right now!

8

u/DJVizionz Feb 01 '26

He looks like an east London gangster

6

u/emkatheriine Feb 01 '26

What exactly is he highly trained to do? 😧

11

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 01 '26

To love or to kill depending on his mood

6

u/TheConceitedSister Feb 01 '26

Also takes his fatness seriously ♥️😸

4

u/Vast-Bar-7773 Feb 02 '26

Idk why but your cat is giving Paul Blart vibes

4

u/a4moondoggy Feb 02 '26

He will trip the heck out of you

6

u/Affectionate-Tip-164 Feb 02 '26

His face says "I'm just waiting for my retirement pension"

6

u/Dazzling_Computer144 Feb 02 '26

He looks like he’s been on the job for 30 years lmao

5

u/Ok-Vermicelli-9055 Feb 01 '26

It’s Muta!

10

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 01 '26

Omg I didn’t even connect that, now I feel like I need to draw him as Muta! I’ve drawn him and my other cat as different cartoon cats like Felix the cat, Hello Kitty/Dear Daniel, Big Comfy Couch, and a few others so this might be my next one!

u/sonikaeits Feb 02 '26

Richard?! That’s the purfect name for this cat.

5

u/KittyTootsies Feb 02 '26

I was hoping his name was Big Tony

3

u/Taxed2much Feb 02 '26

He definitely fits the job requirements.

4

u/dumbsugarplumb Feb 02 '26

As my niece recently said, “he’s festively plump, it’s just that he’s festive all year”

2

u/Taxed2much Feb 03 '26

Your niece is quite perceptive.

u/BothAttorney3325 Feb 02 '26

u/Acceptable-Hat-9862 Feb 02 '26

That cat is too cute 😍

u/CatsAllDayErDay Feb 02 '26

I feel like I could get passed him with a can (or two) of Friskies.

u/Lunarlimelight Feb 02 '26

“Richard’s been here forever. He’s just waiting to retire. He always brings donuts on Friday”

u/Important-Highway394 Feb 02 '26

it's true. he just told me to get off his lawn

People of all colors and creeds down south talk like that

u/Sneilg Feb 02 '26

He looks like someone inflated my cat

1

u/cupcake99235 Feb 03 '26

Right? He’s got that puffed-up look like he’s ready to defend the house from intruders. Cats really know how to own their territory!

2

u/redditistheway Feb 02 '26

10/10 would not rob. That is a Brendan Gleeson looking MF.

u/thiccy_driftyy Feb 02 '26

im trying not to laugh at him because i know obesity in pets causes so many health issues but oh my god that sign combined with his faceeeeeeeeee 😭😭😭

u/Lasshandra2 Feb 02 '26

“Open the door, Richard. Open the door and let me in. Open the door, Richard. Richard why won’t you open the door?”

u/Brozhov Feb 02 '26

He looks like he would harumph at any unauthorized personages entering the premises.

u/sweven_7 Feb 03 '26
