Cat owners are weird . (London)
Summary
Cat owners are "buie," according to a Tube rider who sparks a heated debate with Kareem about the weirdness of feline enthusiasts. Kareem fires back with his own defense, revealing he owns two hairless cats specifically to avoid kitchen fur problems. The conversation careens wildly from cat hair to restaurant aesthetics to the philosophical question of whether freedom is actually free, with both agreeing the Western world might be in big trouble. They bond over their mutual appreciation despite disagreeing on nearly everything. The rider invites Kareem for tea, and honestly, after that whirlwind exchange, they've earned it.

So, what's your take? I feel like cat owners are weird or more... buie.
No, 100% disagree. What? What did you say? Bookie.
Who's buie? What's...? It's another way of saying weird in UK.
Cat owners are buie. They tend to be more buiy.
I have two cats. I mean, they're great. My manager has three, I think.
Why do you think cat owners are weird? I just feel like you can, you can just tell. Like, you can tell a cat owner.
Is that a bad thing? Who said it's good or bad?
Oh, you think they're just weird? Yeah, they tend to be weird though. Weird is not bad.
I think dog owners are weird. I don't think so.
I think cat guys are nice guys. If you have a cat and you're a man, you're a nice man. And cat women?
I love cat women. I like cat women.
You do? But I still think cat owners tend to be weirder.
What's weird about them? Cats walk anywhere and come back home and go to bed.
My cats stay in the house, bro. They're under the kitchen. You know, you're seeing cat hairs in the kitchen. That's already a big, big problem.
That's why I got hairless ones. I'm serious.
So, you prepared for my take? No, I prepared for the weirdness of owning a cat. I actually hate the hair.
But can you speak for all other cat owners though? No.
What would you have to say to the other cat owners that don't do what you do with your cats? Let's get a hairless cat. I also feel like we're in probably a bad era for food. I feel like food is like so not important anymore. It's more like the aesthetic.
How did you go from cats to food? My personality is coming out, man. Food. I'm hungry right now.
I agree. It's more about the aesthetic rather than the taste. I guess if we're saying customers are paying the, you know, the restaurant's rent or like something, it makes more sense cuz like what are we paying for if you think about it?
We're paying for the vibe. We need more than the picture.
I don't want to pay for the vibe. I feel like technically freedom isn't free. It somehow costs in whatever way.
You're really jumping around real quick, bro. I don't know what's happening anymore. You're the new country right now. I think you're jumping around. I'm trying to say...
100% agree. I look, I think that freedom is definitely not free. Yeah, I know.
Freedom costs a lot of money and taxes. How should we describe freedom going forward if it's kind of not free?
Tough, right? I think we're in big trouble.
We're in big trouble. But... I think the whole Western world's in big trouble.
We'll figure it out, though. Hey, I feel like, you know, we're in a good era of great people, though.
I don't think we're in a good era of great people. That's not true.
I like you. I like you. That's what I meant by it.
I like you. Come for tea sometime. You know, I would love to have tea.
