I was going to make a longer post about how cool cats are but it was getting too long so now I will just list all of the things that make them cool
(Disclaimer: This is mostly a list of anatomical and biological things. I'm not going to get into how they are as pets, as that would make this list even longer than it already is)
Retractable claws; dynamic pupils/low-light vision; crepuscular (most active at dawn and dusk); whiskers; barbed tongue; shoulder blades are attached only by muscle (why they can fit in such tight spaces, use whiskers to gauge if they can fit); Jacobson's organ (why they open their mouth to smell); can hear up to 64,000 Hz (three times higher than humans); 200 million odor sensors (14 times better than humans); have more vertebrae than humans (gives them flexibility); can rotate their supple spines more than most other animals (makes them twisty :)); righting reflex (why cats land on their feet/are able to rotate mid-air, able to do this because of their twistiness); nictitating membrane, also called third eyelid (the white eyelid cats have that sometimes partially closes when they are sleepy or have just woke up, leads to that derpy look); use body language to communicate + growl and hiss when threatened, only meow at kittens and humans; large variation in coats and interesting coat genetics
Cats are just really awesome, and I love them so much. If people ever make the mistake of asking me about cats I will literally never shut up. You would have to knock me unconscious with a shovel to get me to stop
You know Miles “Who’s Morales” Morales, Gwen “Gwanda” Stacy and Pavitr “This is your daughter, I do not know her” Prabhakar are all absolutely horrible liars, but Hobie? Hobie is the extremely rare Spiderperson who can actually lie perfectly, and he can, will, and certainly does use that to his advantage.
what it that emotion where you taste battery acid on your tongue
“A little treat” has proven to be a devastating weapon of destruction against my moneys… but… science has birthed an equally powerful tool in the war against trinkets… I call it.. “but I shan’t”.
Everybody, please watch Scavengers Reign!! It's an amazing animated sci-fi show that is available on both Netflix and HBO Max. It has been canceled on Max after just one season, but there's a chance Netflix will pick it up for a season 2 if viewership is high enough.
The art and story are incredible, and it is easily one of the best shows I have ever watched. The ecosystem and the world feel truly alive, with completely unique and alien creatures that pose as both a threat and a constant subject of awe to the people stranded there. All of the characters have a depth and believability to them, each having a different way of dealing with the situation they are in. The plot is thrilling and always has you wondering what this planet could possibly throw at the characters next.
If you are a human who exists and likes good shows, watch Scavengers Reign.
