What is the opposite of a cat, then?
If your answer is, “it doesn’t have one,” then I nominate dog.
I’d say mouse as there are many manic cat mouse duos like Itchy and Scratchy
That’s a foil, not an opposite
Your face is a foil.
Wow
Zing.
The opposite of cat is cat.
What would be the opposite of any mammal? A carrot? A brick? A slime mold?
Does everything actually have an “opposite”?
Humans (like most living things) like to put things in boxes to make navigating their environment simpler. Temperatures aren’t really opposites because they’re on a continuum, but we talk about hot and cold as opposites to bring order to environmental navigation. The same with presence and absence of light and bright/dark. So, extending this logic, the opposite of cat is the absence of cat, but that doesn’t really make sense. If you cut a cat in half, are you halfway on a continuum from cat to the opposite of cat? If the cat is whole but has died, is it cat, opposite of cat, something else entirely? I have no idea, and no one else really does either. Brains are weird.
Sounds like the Schrodinger’s cat theory!
I’d say everything has several opposites, each in a different aspect.
“What is up, dog?”
Side note: the opposite of cat isn’t actually dog. The opposite of cat is goldfish. A goldfish loves water, is not fluffy, doesn’t like to roam around the neighborhood killing birds, will never knock your favorite coffee mug off your desk, not bipolar, and I’m not allergic to them.
How do you know you’re not allergic? Have you ever rubbed one over your most delicate parts?
Not to your knowledge
will never knock your favorite coffee mug off your desk,
I once shared a house with someone who had a fish that would thrash around in its tank so violently it would knock things off the cabinet it was on and get water all over the floor (I had no involvement in the care of the fish, but I think its tank was too small).
Not a goldfish, but still…
A better clue might be
This direction and pet combo became a common “gotcha” in the early 2000s.
Sure a better clue if you don’t want the joke to work
tee isn’t exactly the opposite of cat but I can’t remember a command that only redirects screen output to a file.
What is up, tee?
cat is for concatenating files, so the opposite would be something that breaks a stream up into multiple files.
tacis a real command and does exactly what you think it is
It prints to stdout. I’d say the opposite is read, which reads from stdin.
There’s pushd where the opposite is clearly popd.
A dog will try to save your life if you’re drowning. A cat will sit on your head to keep from getting wet while you’re drowning.
What is up and what is png
each letter in PNG is exactly opposite the corresponding letter in CAT if the letter were equally distributed around a circle in alphabetical order.
Also the host does not ask the questions.
Who is Dee?
What is undown anticat?
Pretty sure that’s the answer to the anti life equation… nobody tell darkseid (ﾟﾛﾟ)
uʍop dark-cat
uwu downward dog.
I would phrase it as, “What is ‘up’ and ‘dog?’” Being extra clear but ruining the joke.
