JFK - b otd 1917 - on the power of art:
"I am certain that after the dust of centuries has passed, we will be remembered not for victories or defeats in battle or in politics, but for our contribution to the human spirit."
"Art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth."

@DeanAbbott Right now, I have two shelter cats. Go to a local shelter, and spend time with the kitties. my shelter had a room where you could sit with the kitties and play with them. You can discover their personalities that way.

@catsareblessing @JoyceCarolOates I wonder if mama cat addressed kitty with their full name - including middle middle name

A research into cat behavior shows that domestic cats regard humans as social peers rather than superiors, often perceiving their owners as large, awkward kittens.

Far from being aloof or defiant, a cat’s apparent indifference stems from a profound interspecies mismatch in social expectations.

As anthrozoologist John Bradshaw explains, cats—unlike dogs—never evolved to recognize humans as dominant leaders or authority figures. Instead, they filter all interactions through an exclusively feline framework. Behaviors like kneading on your lap or licking your hair are not mere displays of affection; they are the same grooming and bonding rituals cats reserve for close kin or pride members. In their eyes, we are simply enormous, somewhat clumsy fellow cats who require inclusion in the group.

This absence of hierarchical deference accounts for cats’ frequent disregard of commands or household rules. Treating us as equals, they follow cat-to-cat social protocols in every encounter. The “gifts” of dead prey on the doorstep or constant shadowing around the home are acts of care toward what they see as a big, furless, rather inept companion.

Recognizing this mindset transforms the human-cat relationship from one based on authority and obedience to one of mutual companionship. It turns out that while many owners believe they have domesticated their cats, the cats themselves are quietly convinced they are patiently tending to their oversized, adopted family members.
