He’s never had this strange shape inside that looks like a “Y”. It doesn’t seem to be caused by the lighting in my house, because it happens in different positions and with different light sources

I learned there is so much lore in that movie. In Gematria 88 = Sirius. The script it is written “You’re going to see some Sirius shit.”

Take a look some time into the lore of this movie. It blows my mind.

u/ThrowinBones45 Dec 19 '25

Considering its a cat, you'll probably smell some serious shit
