Post a picture of a cat!

And here I thought my Pixel was a contortionist!  That fellow makes her look stiff as a board!

She was, too - both times woke up as I tried to wake the damned phone up to take the pictures.

I've got old photos of me passed out in such positions. No wonder I've got the chiropractor on speed dial.

So are the eyes of your cat.

So are the eyes of your cat.

Not one of mine, just something I tripped across - and immediately thought of the 2001 schtick. That's one awestruck looking pussy.

Another perception of comfort. Fluidity.

Should I get a dog?

The flying cat. When he hunts for insects he forgets to put the pond in his calculations. He went under for at least 8 times.

Oh I think I can do better than a picture, and you didn’t say it has to be a REAL cat:

He always thinks everyone else eats better than him. If I reacted to that he would be overweight boy!

On observing: Billy observing the fish.

Maxim #2: There is no such thing as left over food.
Maxim #7: Stolen food always tastes better.

Maxim #2: There is no such thing as left over food

Do perfectly preserved and intact guts not count as food?

The stuff they part-ingest then throw up on my office floor would seem left over. Or left behind.

Dogs do that with poop quite often.

But no, it's not left over/behind.  It's just "tasty but indigestible".  (Think sugarfree gummi bears or similar for us humans.  Taste really nice, but make your insides go brrrröööööt if you eat more than three in one sitting.)

The things cats and dogs find "tasty" never ceases to amaze me, their taste buds are just so wildly different to us humans.
Some things we share – cooking meat, like sizzling bacon in particular –, but others differ so much I have hard time even imagining it.
Cats don't really taste sweet/sugar at all, for example.

It's a funky experience to alter ones taste temporarily with e.g magic berries (synsepalum dulcificum) that cause us humans to taste everything sour as sweet instead.  (It contains a glycoprotein that temporarily (for up to an hour) binds to our taste buds.)

My cats get roast beef as a treat. But not all roast beef was equal, according to these connaisseurs. Enter the world of water imjection, what section of the cow is called roast beef and on and on. So I centered on a supermarket there that was good enough. But from a supermarket off the same chain was not good enough. Same meat, same central supplier. So I asked the lady from the certified supermarket what could be going on.

They don't clean the slicing machines good enough before slicing other meat, was her opinion.

Animals are just on another level.

That's the difference between being a pet and being a caretaker, I guess.

Although, if you are in a long-term relationship and haven't yet trained eachother to give such treats to each other every day, you need to.  I don't care how old you are.
