A small study has found that cats may change their behavior when they hear their owner's voice talking in a tone directed to them, the cats, but not when hearing the voice of a stranger or their owner's voice directed at another person. The study of 16 cats is published in the journal Animal Cognition and adds to evidence that cats may form strong bonds with their owners.
Human tone is known to vary depending on to whom the speech is directed, such as when talking to infants and dogs. The tone of human speech has been shown in previous studies to change when directed at cats, but less is known about how cats react to this.

I found out who was responsible for the scratches on the chair. Some of them at least. There are three other silly kitties who probably scratched it too.

When you’re a house panther but you’re acting like you’re homeless.
She literally dug the paper out of the box to sleep on…

I'm used to letting the cats in and out of the house all the time. So, a couple days ago I almost instinctively let a moth in the house.
Brain: "She wants in"
Me: *Goes to let her in* "Wait a minute🤨"

I saw a video yesterday of an orange cat getting stuck in a fence next to an open gate and went to sleep thinking "my guy you come from lions like come on " then i realized that lions would also get stuck in a fence tbh
Then i woke up today with the sudden realization that based on coat colors only
Lions are orange cats
Leopards torties
Panthers are black cats
And tigers are those patterned tabbies
Omg 😭❤️

I socialize like a housecat.
If I have to participate too much I'm going to want to run off and hide in another room.
However, quietly doing my own thing away from the rest of the group while occupying the same general space is basically my love language.

I'm hardly gonna judge for it, but it's fascinating how over time, more parts decided they like being called ‘it’ as a pronoun. It's kinda funny, even. Maybe it's because of how foster care intentionally dehumanized us so much. Maybe it's how people also call cats ‘it’, and we feel special kinship with them because they were kinder than humans a lot of the time. Or maybe think of it like this: “It's a creature.” “It's real, really there.” “It's just trying to live and prosper.” “All it wants is to be happy and loved, like anyone else.”
Hell, even I like using it as a pronoun now. I like being referred to as ‘it’, in a “fuck you I'm owning this shit now” kinda way. I know some parts still get awkward, but it's a blend of gender euphoria and just quite seriously enjoying it as a matter of spite.
At the same time, because of the main use of the word ‘it’, I also feel less compelled to act like a proper ‘person’ at all times. Humans are still just silly adorable animals that developed enough curiosity and self-awareness to ask the really big questions about life (fun fact: sometimes the questions are more important than the answers). Calling myself it also reminds me that I'm here and as real as anyone or anything else.
In private, we do strange things. Sometimes we entirely hang traditional ideas of human identity up at the bedroom door. We're human as a matter of biology, and that's enough for us.
I hate when people are obsessed with what it means to be human, as if the experience alone isn't the only set meaning, and the rest is up to us to decide. Because the meaning of our individual lives is just that simple. We live, and make the rest up as we go along. Sure it's hard, but no one else's ideas will ever be quite as satisfying as your own personal meaning.
Organized religion and shit? Those are the social structures for belief in a meaning to life. They're what you hang the drapes of your personal beliefs on, ideally. But sometimes you have to actively search for the right framework to use. And yes, some presented frameworks are outright dangerous to use, and should never have been made.
(To the rest of the system): I think the twenty-five years of isolation and only music reaching me left me with a penchant for philosophy. The music did, of course, teach me poetry. I'd like to look at what I managed to push through to another part.
