“well, it seems we are at an impasse.”

“so we are. carry on, cat”

“same to you, bird.”

They literally were in an awkward situation

I love how the bird leaves like “well, I best be hitting the dusty trail”

Alex (1976 – September 6, 2007) had a vocabulary of over 100 words, but was exceptional in that he appeared to have understanding of what he said. For example, when Alex was shown an object and was asked about its shape, color, or material, he could label it correctly. He could understand that a key was a key no matter what its size or color, and could figure out how the key was different from others. One day, he asked what color he was, and learned “grey” after being told the answer six times. This made him the first non-human animal to have ever asked an existential question. [x]

Alex’s last words were also “You be good, see you tomorrow. I love you.” [x]

These were the same words that Alex would say every day when his owner left the lab.

“You be good, see you tomorrow. I love you.”

a parrot actually said these words, and meant it, before he died.

I’m getting choked up

Alex the parrot is actually one of my favorite animal intelligence stories/examples. What a smart birb.

meanwhile, my african grey Miki is making fart noises

I was all choked up until the last comment.
Bless you.

my favourite thing is probably the scientific name of the Grizzly bear.

It’s Ursus arctos horribilis. “ursus” meaning bear in Latin and “arctos”, bear in Greek.

so essentially a grizzly is a “horrible bear bear.”

The Eurasian Brown Bear is Ursus arctos arctos

So literally “Bear Bear Bear”. The most bear a bear can be.

I WILL HAVE ALL THE KITTY FRIENDS

so important.

Slow blinking by a cat (sort of an eyes-almost-closed look, almost trance-like) is a good sign — one that says, “You’re my buddy, and I feel comfortable hanging out with you.

It turns out that cats do a lot of talking with their eyes — the eyes are part of a feline’s communication system. If you are directly staring a cat down, you’ll only make that cat nervous. They see a stare-down like this as a threat. [x]

…okay, this explains why cats LOVE people who are allergic, including me (although I love the little buggers back, they’re sho cute). I’ve been taught that, at least among humans, eye contact = interest. So if I make eye contact with a cat, I automatically look away so they won’t come up and ask for attention/set off my allergies.

THIS EXPLAINS WHY THEY LOVE ME

this works so well ive convinced some of my friends that im a cat whisperer
