- Comment on Can any scientists confirm this important fact? 6 days ago:
My cat played fetch, just like a dog. Cats like playing.
I hate it when people just assume stuff about cats, treat them that way, and then say stuff like ‘cats are so aloof and they only like me because I feed them.’
Meanwhile, my neighbour’s cat loves my family even though we don’t feed her, because we snuggle her. The person who feeds her just chucks her outside when she gets home. And then she comes to us for scritches.

Cats meow at other cats besides their mother too. It’s a complete myth that they don’t.

Most 20 year olds are less mature, not some. It’s predatory.

- Comment on we must protect them from exotics 2 weeks ago:
In the UK my windscreen was squeaky clean, in Brandenburg it was full of bugs in no time, here in Baden-Württemberg it’s clean again. I see vinyards spraying far too often. The normal farms are excellent here, with small fields, crop rotation and few pesticides, but screw the vinyards.
