Just remember - the reason the cat gets weird when you do that is that you are stimulating the bundle of nerves that feed their sexual organs.

Yep - you are getting your cat horny!

Florists are worse—flowers are sex organs, so everyone who ever worked at FTD is Ed Gein.

Look what the cat dragged in

It's called mimicry.

UMMMMM...

SOUND ON. You’re hearing the first howl of a dire wolf in over 10,000 years. Meet Romulus and Remus—the world’s first de-extinct animals, born on October 1, 2024.

UMMMMM...

Aw! Those cubs are so cute!

P.S. And no, they wouldn't be a "ecological danger". Dire wolf is not suited for survival in modern ecosystem. It trived in the age of megafauna; basically, dire wolf specialized on hunting big, slow animals. It got powerful jaws and additional mass, but slower and clumsier than modern wolves. It would not survive in the wild.

Dire wolf is not suited for survival in modern ecosystem.

My understanding - very limited as it is - is that it's currently unclear just how "dire" these wolves are. Seem to be modern wolves with some modest tinkering, still far from a *true* dire wolf.

They are genetically identical to dire wolves. Some differences may be presented, but not significant.

P.S. You realize that human is essentially a chimp "with some modest tinkering"?

That few percent difference makes all the difference.

That few percent difference makes all the difference.

The genetic difference between dolphins and killer whales is also almost negligible.

The differences between humans and chimps are enormous on an intellectual level, our adaptability, creativity and ability to modify the environment to survive is far superior. You can send a chimp to college by bribing as many officials as necessary, but he will never become an engineer, you can launch him into space, but he will never be an Alan Shepard... These guys are basically environmentalists.

Interesting bit of narration I heard:

'How do you tell the difference between a cheetah and a jaguar? Touch its nose. If it's wet, it's a cheetah. If your hand is bitten off, it's a jaguar.'

Under advice of council, Mittens can neither confirm or deny the location of Mrs Jones' missing parakeet.....urp

(Mittens is actually the woman's name on Fur Affinity, and was seen coughing up feathers after the statute of limitations had elapsed.) The cat is her lawyer.

I had never even heard of this meme, but I did wonder why I kept seeing videos of spinning cats on YT. It’s actually a more interesting story than I thought it was going to be.

Good idea, I'll try it in my next life, forget it this time.

Right before his own passing, Oscar the death cat (of Steere House retirement home in Providence)--was visited by the ghosts of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau:

"Not funny now, is it?" said Felix
"Not at all" said Oscar.
