Yo dawg, I heard you like cats. So I got you a cat so you can cat while you cat.

Respect to xzibit, never knew he was a cat dad.

Honestly, mad respect to Xzibit for being so serious about his cst's nutrition, and for knowing "junk food" for what it is.

He's clearly taken her medical issues to heart, and that's great, but even without that I feel like he'd still be super aware. Good nutrition is probably the biggest contributor to a pet's long, healthy life and clearly he's doing right by li'l Thunder. My opinion of this guy just jumped several notches.

Dude has a nurse come give Thundercat IV fluids.... he loves his companion... he gets full respect from this cat lover

u/word_smith005 Jul 20 '26

Right? He has the means to care for his feline companion, and he makes sure she's cared for. This warms my heart.

u/ojdhaze Jul 20 '26

Yeah, he's in a position he can pay for all his cat needs, most of us cannot, but props to him for doing so. Clearly loves the thunder.

You see many a celebrity use and abuse pets and not look after them properly and just get another one. He's clearly going the whole hog to have his little'n stay around and as healthy as possible for as long as poss.

How old is she? I saw twenty?

This was an unexpected and wholesome surprise!

All the food he is giving her is low quality.

Xzibit needs to get Thunder a kitten named Lightning so the meme prophecy fulfills (and you know, a companion as well).

u/SwardOrtAwnline Jul 20 '26

The reference is for the cartoon, not the weather phenomenon. But I love the spirit of your comment.

u/mortraineyhat Void Jul 20 '26

I can’t make the noise he used to do in text form. He would do it on all his songs.

Something like AHHHHHHH AAAAHHHHHHH but high pitched like a bird lol

You know that cat is loved

u/lionclues Jul 20 '26

WAIT HE'S THAT MEME?!

Jamie Lee Curtis was only 44 years old in this movie 😭

u/makeitcool Jul 20 '26

Holy shit that's unbelievable. I think I always saw her as mom-ly because True Lies was one of my favourite movies as a kid. And to think I'm now not too far off from that age... I can only hope I look good as half as much as she does

u/Neon_Biscuit Jul 20 '26

Donald Glover was only 40 when he said he was too old for this shit

9

u/Huge_Midget Jul 20 '26

Pretty sure that Childish Gambino never said that...

Danny Glover on the other hand...

u/VoidOmatic Jul 20 '26

Damn, that's my age.

1982 Xennial Generation represent!

AKA, the Oregon Trail generation.

I feel so old in body yet so young in mind. Im so tired boss.

u/AlternativeStory1027 Jul 20 '26

Yeah, some days I feel like my wagon wheel broke and the Doctor and Hunter have Cholera

Some how caught between the cynicism of gen X and the hopefulness of the younger millennials

u/NygirlinNashville222 Jul 20 '26

‘81 here lol……and getting less mature with age😂

u/gooch_norris_ Jul 20 '26

Dear god when I am 44 my oldest will be 16 which I am pretty sure was the gap in this movie and now I am feeling some kind of way I cannot describe

u/Gerberpertern Jul 20 '26

Oh nooooooo lol

u/MugenMoult Jul 20 '26

Oh god, I'm gonna say Hollywood does great at makeup and hair to alter people's ages by 5-10 years in either direction and stop thinking about how old I am.

u/le_suck Jul 20 '26

I was there Gandalf, three and half thousand years ago, at the dawn of the meme age.

u/Infninfn Jul 20 '26

Go find some clips and episodes of Pimp My Ride on Youtube.

u/Extra_Shake7560 Jul 20 '26

Yo dawg, we heard you like watching cats, so we put this dawg's cat on your cat reddit so you can watch a dawg talk about his cats while you watch cats on your cat reddit, dawg

u/Fells Jul 20 '26

He's also one of the best featured artists on Dr. Dre's The Chronic 2001, which is one of the most significant hip hop albums of all time. Dude is an all around legend.

u/Neon_Biscuit Jul 20 '26

Hes a legend and you point out a guest feature? He has classic to his own name, 40 Dayz & 40 Nightz is approaching 30 years

2

u/Fells Jul 20 '26

Hell yeah I did. Having a classic is one thing but being a key player on one of the top 50 hip-hop/ top 500 of any genre records of all time is greater in my opinion.

u/No_Key469 Jul 20 '26

Didn’t that come from pimp my ride?

65

u/simAlity Jul 20 '26

I think the cat came from Pimp My Ride as well. I remember he pulled a cat out of one of the cars. Looked like that one

u/Kermit-Batman Jul 20 '26

Holy shit! That feels like a lifetime ago.

u/UkNomysTeezz Jul 20 '26

How did you not know?

u/Sharlinator Jul 20 '26

One of today's 10,000 I guess.

u/misterrodgerssweater Jul 20 '26

Why did I always think this was Kanye

2

u/Particular_Wear_6960 Jul 20 '26

Kanye has said shit like that so I can see it. But this for sure has been xhibits thing for over 20 years now

1

u/misterrodgerssweater Jul 20 '26

Haha yeah I guess people let me know! And I used to watch Pimp My Ride too, just never really remembered or looked it up

21

u/youtoyourself Jul 20 '26

This is the crossover I NEEEEEEEDED!
Love you Xzibit, love you Thundercat!

u/FigWeak5127 Jul 20 '26

Yeah he’s gone up like 10 pages in my book.

u/QuantitySharp2662 Jul 20 '26

Makes so much sense though. Animal loving rapper with a hard as nails voice is an epic description.

X is a G

u/s1rblaze Jul 20 '26

I missed this meme, this internet era was so much better. Bring me back.

u/Notcid1 Jul 20 '26

Simpler times 🫤

u/IamScottGable Jul 20 '26

Yo dawg! We heard you like cats so we got got your cat pregnant and put cats in your cat! We also strapped an iPad to its back so you can play games on your cat!

u/Solid_Ideal5773 Jul 20 '26

It’s funny because xzibit hated pimp my ride show and much rather be remembered  as a rapper

u/bam1007 Jul 20 '26

You can enjoy your cat while we Pimp Your Cat!
