@DogsB I'd say, somebody didn't do a proper preflight.

@DogsB I think this baby had come in all on its own ^^

A reminder that you shouldn't try to imitate XKCD strips in real life.

I was listening to a podcast about what kind of animals think they could beat in a fistfight. A shocking number of people think they could beat a bear but it reminded me of this.

“Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.”

That's always the fun part about how predators react to aggression: it's not about whether the bear could take the cat, but how much damage the cat is doing to do on the way down. And it's why wolverines are still around: sure, they're edible, but do you really want to mess with 30 pounds of batshit insanity?

I think your cat needs some WD-40.

I mean, I already loved Machamp...this just solidifies it.
I still occasionally notice email notifications.

@error I've definitely seen cats drink like that. Without the sound of course. Does require the tap to be open a specific amount.

The stray cat I took in is ugly and weird, but he really seems to love me.

@DogsB It's a representative image. The place, Largo di Torre Argentina, is a cat sanctuary.
Since the ancient ruins (like most of them) are about a floor lower than the modern streets, and there is no access to most of the area, it provides space for the cats safe from people, dogs and cars in the middle of the city.

To add (and save a click): the bit that makes it historic is that it's where Julius Caesar was assassinated.

Yes, but he wasn't assassinated by cats (they might have wished to, but missed their opportunity due to human meddling) so it's irrelevant for this thread.

Well, it's the archaeological historicity of the site that keeps it undeveloped for the cats to take advantage of it.
