Cats have an instinctual response to a specific patch on the back of their neck being pinched. Their mothers carry them by that part when they’re kittens, and the response keeps them still. Male cats also bite female cats there during mating. It can be used to functionally restrain a cat, though doing so unnecessarily is just gonna stress the cat out so it’s generally not recommended

To give everyone here the benefit of the doubt, the first bottle seems to be a pet shampoo for getting rid of mites and ticks (the second is just a regular delicate soap). It could quite plausibly be that the poor thing had a bad infestation and stopped trying to escape when it realised it was feeling better. If that is the case then it’ll be freaked out but definitely better off for it

Nah mate, cats do not immediately pass out if they have some fabric on them. Mine voluntarily hides under blankets all by himself for naps on a regular basis

He was helping me work and apparently it was just exhausting

She has opinions and everyone must hear them

According to the redditor that seems to have originally posted it, this was the kitten’s reaction to being introduced to their new dog. The two were immediately separated and the kitten is okay

I hope to one day achieve even a fraction of this level of relaxation

We only finished repaying our WWII loans from the US and Canada in 2006

What a lovely colour his coat is too

I know nothing about vocaloids so I have no context here, but I can tell you that “chimera” is a word that English borrowed from ancient Greek, which is why it doesn’t sound much like a usual English word. There’s an old Greek myth about a hero called Bellerophon slaying a monster called the chimera, and since the mythical chimera is a hybrid of several animals we adopted the word as a more general term

Tom Scott’s game show! https://lateralcast.com/

He has always had a real love for game shows and has done quite a few different ones over time, but Lateral seems to be his main project just now. The format is dead simple, it’s Tom plus three guests (usually other youtubers or podcasters that he has met throughout his career) taking turns asking the each other some kind of a question that requires, as the name suggests, some lateral thinking to puzzle out

This cat would need absolutely no changes to show up in a movie as some kind of ancient fey trickster being

Every time video game things come up on Lateral he’s more or less stumped because he has just never been into games, which is totally fair enough, but I feel like if he were going to enjoy any video game at all it’d be Portal

Oh he looks like a regular black cat, he just happens to be catching the sunlight here. He shall indeed be fussed over on your behalf

He likes to survey the world outside from it when he is awake too. He gets a good view of the birds hopping around on the roofs across the street

The stealthiest I have ever moved in my entire life was getting across the room to take this pic without him stirring

Also, bonus pic

Would gladly risk my forearm’s wellbeing deliberately falling for this trap

Both, based on IFW Kiel’s numbers. Military aid was about even until the end of Biden’s term, Europe generally provided a bit more non-military. The US sent a huge amount right at the end of Biden’s term. Since then, the US has sent basically nothing and Europe has mostly covered the shortfall
