      Also she has way less appearances than all other cats, probably because she is less interesting. Even though in my opinion, she has the most interesting character design. She has heterochromia, which is pretty rare and seen as cute to most people who like cats. It’s odd

    Ho_Salt recently made a new video, it seems to be one of those "trends" where the cloth is falling on an object, and the more times it hits, the more faces it gets. CURRY IS FURTHER PROVEN TO BE A ROBOT IN THIS VIDEO! It's almost like Curry's a full robot, what if Curry wasn't experimented on? What if CURRY was ALWAYS A ROBOT?

    Is it possible that this frame 19:33 is showing that Sig & Curry were strays begin with. Who after nearly dying needed a heart transplant. Who was the donor?
    It was Curry of course. That would not only explain why Sig seems to have gone from lovers to haters but also why Curry seems to be mostly robotic. They literaly gave their heart to save Sig at the cost of their own life. All Sig sees when he looks at Curry is what his survival cost. Thus he hates Curry for not choosing to save himself.

    I always interpreted Maya being more motherly towards the mice rather than them being servants, the only moment I think can be used as a counter argument is the mice bowing but I think that looks more like them falling over. she’s my favorite character in these shorts since she seemed to be very gentle towards smaller creatures in general (most notably the mice but their was a bee that danced on her paw in one short) in the short “metal sheet dance” she seems to be occasionally grabbing the mouse to keep them more safe before the mouse protests and is let go. I interpret her as being initially kinda scary to the mice since she’s a cat but she’s nice to them and they warm up to her.

    This a really good and in-depth analysis of the multiple events that happen in these shorts and regular videos, but I honestly think that most are just references memes that were relevant at the time and that future videos just happened to have similar aspects to one another that ligned up into these posible tellings of their stories, but until salt posts something that EXPLICITLY shows some kind of lore not related to any form of other relevand and/or popular media at the time I really doubt it's lore.

    I got a theory when Sig died she got cloned because of the experiment and the clone still didn't have a heart 😢 and in stranger she remakes herself but its there for a short time the dead body of Sig and some chemicals brought her back that's it

    I like to point out with the conversation about the music
    I don't think a lot of people understand that animator's pay attention to lyrics a LOT.
    Whenever i make my animations with songs i do listen and pay attention to what the lyrics are so i can find styff that fits with lore and or make sense.

    The black cat is just Emo and the alien video is just a trend meme. Robot could be for humor, demon from cod is obviously humor, pomni meme is just a trend. Stretching is for humor. Debunked. Also the red eyes was a noot noot meme.
