Emory will not give up on his quest to be a hat for Elvira. Elvira, to her credit, is very, very patient with him.
Small observation about imgur in general: we're really nearing the end here, folks. First it was posts needing just 50 votes to reach frontpage, now it seems even being on the frontpage gives most posts 10-20k views, where a year ago it was at least double, and jeez, back in the old days it was at least ten times that. There's very few of us left on this site, it seems. Enjoy it while you can!
Edit: okay, look, this is fucking weird, another thing that sometimes still happens and makes me scratch my head. You're telling me suddenly this post has 167k views?? How, from where, who? I checked other FP posts, with more upvotes, memes and/or titties, and those only have less than 10k views, but supposedly this 30 second cat video and tiny rant gets in the six digit range somehow? How? How would this post do those numbers, but not the post right in front or behind it??

Two of my cats are like this.
Then:
◅ᘏᗢ (I'm kitten, I snuggle and nurse on your nipples)
ᓚᘏᗢ (I'm a guy cat but whatever, you are a kitten after all)
Now:
ᓚᘏᗢ (I'm kitten, I sn-)
ᓚᘏᗢ (You are bigger than me, stop it bro)

Is Elvira the mom?

She sure is.

That wasn't lack of patience, that was a quick shake and continue to cuddle. That's how cat do

Oh, he did this many times before, and this was the end of this session 😅.

Yeah, between the imgur staff layoffs, the unlikable owners, and every other post being some sort of political vitriol that is rotting our minds (both physically and mentally) from the inside - it's not fun.

Based on a true story. Memes are one of the few things to give me any joy nowadays

In answer to @OP question, bots.
INeedMoreGifMeMoreJustOneMore
For the lower view numbers and votes, as in, staff managed to drastically limit bot traffic? Or for the weird random explosion in views?
TsubakiTragic
With all social media, the owners can/do manipulate data directly, they don't need bots. The bots are thus external and have their own purpose... data gathering, pushing an ideology or just 'fucking' with the system. 400,000 views resulting in 500ish upvotes (especially on a kitteh video) is ridiculous... compare that to the musk-ox vid with 71,000 views and 325 upvotes. Imgur data is meaningless.

167k views? says you're at 11993 for me.
INeedMoreGifMeMoreJustOneMore
See, that's why I don't believe anything here anymore, why the hell does it say 224k by now??

Some apps/browsers show how many views the looping video gets while others show how many views the post gets. My home browser shows video views while my work browser shows post views. Quite a few other little differences too.

Elvira loves all her children equally, but she loves those that give her some ALONE TIME THE MOST!

Been here a long while, and I'm almost never on the front page. I feel the FP it's just for insta and shittok reposts. Usersub ftw
DarkAshelin
To be honest, all of the TT posts and furry posts are killing the diversity of fun posts.
INeedMoreGifMeMoreJustOneMore
But don't you feel that even Usersub is going quiet lately? We always mocked FP for getting such a sanitized version of what was really getting posted, so much so that there was an "upvote everything" day! I feel like there's so much less 'weirdness' in usersub these days.

This is one reason usersub has less weirdness (former Admin explanation):

Idk about anyone else, but I use the app and it keeps randomly changing my view to Most Viral sorted by Popular even after I set it to User Sub by Newest. I don't notice at first but it's done it multiple times :(
INeedMoreGifMeMoreJustOneMore
Yeah, that's been fucked since one of the latest updates.
