Pretty self explanatory. Post animals, post pets, post stuff about animals and pets!

One cat completed only the first trial before escaping from the room and climbing out of reach.

Classic cat move.

This makes me sad. My late mum had 16 cats, with some coming and go over the years, but always a "continuum of cats" for the last 30 years or more. Since she passed away, with only two people left —and increasing health problems— to take care of them, we've been downsizing, giving them away wherever possible. We're now down to 6+2, with 6 staying at home, and 2 smart enough to always find a way over the fence and roam around, sometimes not coming home for several days on end.

Just today, one of the roaming ones came home, went to eat something... then started going all around the house and meowing, looking for something, and no amount of petting would calm him down. I bet he's missing his "family" of cat friends. Ultimately he went to sleep on top of a wardrobe, with the other 6 staying on the terrace, even though it's raining. It's pretty depressing to see them like this.

I want to meet the scientists patient enough to interview cats.

(I mean good on them, cats dont have enough research) but these people must be the most nice and patient people in the world.
