I want to live in a country where “cats jumping out” is what they’re warning people about!

    Dunno, you're walking down the street having a great day when suddenly two shorthairs spring up behind you, a third drops down from a tree above, brandishing a knife to your chin and hissing promises of death and retribution at you

    All I'm seeing is a warning about an army of super-cats flying ahead.

    Everybody came here to say the same thing: I need that sign in my house.

    I would like to buy one of those signs, how hard would that be?

    In Paris, there was a spat of feral colonies going after tourists a while back.

    Well. Once.

    But I still think it’s funny to imagine it being a bigger problem.

    I'm confused. Are these warning signs or advertisements?

    A cat spawning from a bush made me fall from my bike once, I guess I would have paid more attention with a sign like that

    A bunch of crows is called a gang iirc, is there a term for multiple cats jumping out at you?

    Update: damn I learned a lot from you guys with the google and whatnot.

    According to this random website (just one of the first results on Ecosia): "While clowder is the most common collective noun for cats, a group of cats is also called a cluster, litter (kittens of the same mother), destruction (wild cats), or nuisance."

    First time I've heard any of those apart from litter, personally. There's also a pride of lions.

    Saw another one of these in a Japanese Program. It does seem like they have these sings everywhere!

    I've been in Japan a decade and don't recall ever seeing one of these. It says ネコ飛出し注意 cat jumping out caution.

    "God"? I think something was lost in translation!

    The radical 礻means god, when you see that radical being used, its usually a character that related to spirituality like 福 is fortune, which is related to the concept of the supernatural.

    Here it's a katakana character purely used for the sound, in this case "ne," the first half of neko, for cat.
