Jupiter has 95 confirmed moons

If moons were cats, most planets would be the typical cat dad/mum, and Jupiter would be that crazy old neighbour with too many of them.
...wait a minute considering how our Moon developed, even moon adoption is cat-like! You don't say "I want a moon", the moon just hits you and say "you know what, I'm living here now!"

Not shown: Jupiter occasionally tearing one apart and strewing its innards all around or abducting random passerbys and eating them.
- It's okay, must of their kids are adopted anyway.
  
  If I'm not mistaken, Luna is the only moon of same stone and lava as it's parent planet. Charon, too, maybe?
  
  Read what you write.
- I was going to say, just like the god it's named after, but I guess it was Saturn who ate babies.
  
  Who amongst us haven't snacked on some infant from time to time? Amirite, fellow atheists?

Mars's kids are named Fear and Terror. Not the best parent material there.
- Well, he is the god of war. He wishes his kids to grow up strong and respected like him. Don't be so harsh on the guy, he's doing his best you know.
  
  You know. This could be hilarious as a premise. I’m thinking a monte python style comedy.
- Appropriately enough Fear (Phobos) is slowly getting closer to Mars and will eventually crash into it.
  
  Just 50 million years or so to go!
- "The moons of Fear and Terror" sounds like an amazing crossover between DOOM, Fear & Hunger and Darkest Dungeon
- Other planets have moons. Mars has a pair of hamsters. So hamsters named Fear and Terror.

Don’t forget Saturn’s 145 moons!
- But it's got rings for them to play with.
  
  Jupiter has rings as well, they're just puny compared to Saturn's
  
  Because Beyoncé likes Saturn.

but a bitch ain't one
- A bitch, I don't think so, but a cow, a bear, a goat (maybe) and probably a lot more are.

"I got too many dang moons"

Now are those moon little humans with limbs and a face or are those moon embryos

Confirmed as in paternity test?
- Jerry springer style.

I would take one it it came along but the process of getting my first moon... not again

Does that mean Kamoʻoalewa is a bastard child?
- More an abandoned one?

QI | How Many Moons Does Earth Have?
Edit oh wait that was just one time when they asked.
Here's a collection:
How Many Moons
- I loved QI with steven fry, it's not the same now

Lol, those moons better watch out. They've gone over the number 10! They'll be reclassified as minor moons at any moment now.
(Yes, I still think reclassifying Pluto as a minor planet is scientific bullshit.)

None if the Martian moons are round.
- Someone redo this comic with Mars's tiny potatoes dwarfed by Moon's glorious, massive tide-inducing, rotation-slowing hugeness.
