·I think he is rather thinking lunch or dinner...
Not now he is an old boy / too much like hard work…. Likes it tinned, pouched or cooked …. And flaked or mashed… We feel like we are trying to win an AA feline Rosette award…. And failing most of the time :0)

·And don’t forget the view from the other side, I see this every time I come home and I do believe she is thinking, “here is the idiot with the food, if I had thumbs I wouldn’t need to wait around like this I could open the can myself”
He started watching Midway with us / hoping for a ships cat maybe … I tease him he has a brain the size of a Walnut … but we are the ones who are nuts based on the fact he has us wrapped around his paw! Size is clearly not everything....

·Amazing story regarding my Rita. Younger brother found her abandoned in the streets of Prishtina, Republic of Kosovo, and smuggled her into Croatia, in a travel bag after 20 hours of bus ride. He even bribed police on border crossing lol. Love of my life since then 🥰
A beautiful dog with a great story... even better!
my dopey parakeet rode home from a pet store in the trunk of my motorcycle, a fifteen minute ride... not cool at all.

I’ve read a bit on the Egyptians and cats which is always interesting. I just view them as they different animals they are. I’m not a cat person not a dog person I’m more of an animal person I ended up with three cats at the time being as family members figured out I’m the guy who can’t say no to taking a cat that has some troubles or the owner had troubles so they call me. I don’t see any of them as a hindrance of course and I’m glad I was able to save them from being either put out in the street or put to sleep. My observations and readings tell me cats have a decent level of intelligence they just save it for themselves as they don’t really care about impressing or pleasing me.

·It’s an interesting topic about cats “intelligence”level. Dogs have an innate desire to please humans, it’s just how the evolution of the species worked out as man used dogs to help him hunt etc. Cats learned humans can be useful as they attract mice and can be a useful source of food in other ways. Now I had a German Shepard for over 15 years and she was a great dog and certainly picked up several words and hand motions. I taught her a few tricks as well. But every damn year she would eat the tinsel on the Christmas tree and proceed to poop shiny stuff all over the house. I have know idea what the attraction to tinsel was. I do see my cats figure out some interesting things. I have a door in my house that often doesn’t latch properly they all know if they give it a nudge with their head most of the time they can open it.

I still don't think the boffins have agreed on a definition for intelligence.... it starts to be muddied waters with the whole
consciousness debate. I agree there is a lot more to cats / it is just a lot pf people assume they are independent so the relationships don't develop as they do need a lot of work. Humans and dogs have evolved as a closer symbiotic unit + dogs have more muscle control for facial expressions - cats cant do a puppy face (although they are working on it :0) It is interesting after Pope Gregory ordered persecution of cats for being satanic we got the black death and famine in Europe... so maybe removing our expert / fully organic rat and mouse killing machines was not the smartest papal move :0) - The Egyptians were ahead of the ball on that. Nice you are helping a few of them out in return.

·Miss my Boy's, brothers, Coda and Ziggy, Ziggy sadly passed away 2018 and Coda in 2019, we had the best time together over the respective 12 & 13 years, so intelligent, gentle and loving, Siberian Husky I love my boys and helped me be the man I am.
Sorry you lost your boys. I know they had a great purpose and life with you and are eternally grateful. I am glad you have many memories with them.
My dogs have also helped shape me be the man I always wanted to be. I didn’t know what I was missing until I got married and had dogs enter my life.

·The theory that the church caused the Black Death is a little shaky but interesting

Good article - Macquarie island is probably a better studied example of cat removals unintended consequences (but they were not the domestic variety). I think perceived links with black magic and general superstition meant cats were persecuted in middle ages - as were a lot of the people (not for the first or last time). I don't think my Cat can spread Covid 19 but based on the extra time he / cats in general are getting with owners I suspect if they could they probably would :0)
