Death is how they let them know. It’s like girls that boys on the elementary school playground.
They just express their love differently, and that’s ok.

The cat is easy to spot but it took md a while to find the owl. What else did you find?

I found God, then I found myself. Also a day old doughnut.

Abraham Lincoln. Not sure how there’s a colour photo of a cat, an owl and Abraham Lincoln siting perched on branches of the same tree but it can’t be denied. It’s right there before our eyes.

Damn that’s some pretty good camo though. What is the science behind different breeds’ coat colors? Is there any evolutionary advantage like this?
ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Generally no.
Most visual differences are caused by selective breeding. If you look at most wild cats (actually wild not just feral) they’re usually the typical grey tiger stripe. There’s a reason cats with that coat are referred to as SIC (Standard Issue Cat)

Different wild subspecies have different furr patterns that act as varyingly effective camouflage in their ancestral environment. The breed we see here (tabby, I think) has a pattern similar to the Highland Tiger, also known as the Scottish Wildcat.

Researchers have figured out that wild mamals like cats or foxes lose their typical camo fur after having not to hunt and low adrenaline levels for 3 to 4 generations. Then they get typical mixed colours more often like red, white, brown and so on.
So the cat in the picture is pretty close to the wild colours and obviously it works.

Standard Issue Cats have the best camo. I’m curious about black cats though. In human scale camo black tends to stand out and makes annobvious silhouette even at night. But some black outdoor cats do really well at hunting, even in wide open meadows

Not familiar with camo black, but I have 3 little voids that are indistinguishable from shadows at night. If they wanted to attack me, I’d be helpless.
