If you click into your Settings menu you should see an option to adjust it further.

Ymmv tho and you might need to dip into editing the config file manually.

Be warned, you can go very much too far on this. If your cat speaks to you an an Eldritch tongue, get out of there immediately!

Voids often have limb arrangement malfunctions

This is ours from last year

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Don't touch it.

It's working as intended.

Biblically accurate void

~~I see through you.~~ edit~~4~~5(6?53?): i don't see through you.

OP's image but lines added in order to clarify the anatomy of the cat. They don't clarify much.

Edit: wait. I can do better.

Edit2: second version. Maybe better?

Edit3: wtf is that fucking spine doing?

Edit4: i think i've had a visit from confuse-a-hooman.

I remember watching a video that showed that this is how cats are always able to land on their feet. As in, their bodies evolved to be able to twist awkwardly (to us) like this. By counter-rotating the front from the back in the air, they can face backwards without being able to change their rotational momentum in the air.

They're clearly all owls in disguise.

Uppermost leg and far right leg are the back legs, with the tail inbetween. Imagine the back half of the cat is on its back, stomach up.

The rest of the cat is rotated towards the camera. One arm slung over the belly, other arm splayed out in front. If the arm over its belly was instead next to the uppermost leg, cat would just be fully in its back!

I know, I'm confused about the spine because there should be a turn somewhere but there..... isn't? And the lines indicating left and right of spine should end up the other way around but they don't and I think it's my own drawing who works for confuse-a-hooman.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Doesn't need a turn! Cats spines are like a rope! Wiggly furry snake!

Try Ctrl+Meow+Del first

Hate to tell you this, but umm this is kind of awkward. Look I'm going to just come out and say it, this is the factory settings. We have no idea what they were thinking in design.

Looks about right...

You can usually do a soft reset by opening a can of tunna in the kitchen. That always straightens mine out again and its purring like brand new again. Also works if behaviour settings get a bit out of wack.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Instructions unclear. It was working at first, but then after I ate the tuna, my cat peed in my boots despite being fully litter trained prior.

[–] trongod_requiem0432@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Give this to an animator on Fiverr with the command to recreate this pose 1:1 with a model and watch them despair. Also this is what happens when you use the belly rub exploit a bit too often.

Pretty sure these are the intended factory settings.

[–] zorb@piefed.social 10 points 2 days ago

"Be not afraid!"

[–] X@piefed.world 9 points 2 days ago

“Factory reset?! This is a function check! I’m just making sure I have the full range of motion I need should I be required to assassinate you. Chill.”

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 days ago

XD It took me a second to figure out what was actually going on there.

Meow.exe has stopped responding

[–] VinnyDaCat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Checked mine for such settings, and could not find them.

Did you try turning it off and back on again?

Void wants to know why you're snooping on their very private bath!?
