So a while back I posted about potentially losing my idiot best friend cat, and, well, that wound up happening and it was a sad period of time, but eventually it came time that I figured, as silly as it sounds, what she'd want was for me to give some NEW idiot the same kind of spoiled life I gave her.

And, as it happened, on the day I decided that, my coworker found a bunch of kittens left in a box by the side of the road. After checking around to try and find any adult cats and, well, finding some things best left out of the Cute Thread, they decided to find homes for them. Sooo with that, I give you the heir to my calico Cleo, Tut:

She climbs a lot. Everything. And will ride on shoulders.

And, of course, ferociously attack limbs without using her claws until she falls asleep without letting go:

We figure she's maybe two months old, in great health after some nurturing, is coming out of her shell and absolutely adores people. And attention. And I couldn't be happier.

reminds me of the story of Pocho the crocodile. It's a nice, short read that shows off that crocs can actually be animals understanding of love and compassion.

This is loving incredible. If you didn't watch it, the guy has found a wolf spider with some kind of fibrous crud stuck to several of its feet and its face, and the spider calmly sits still while the dude gently removes the stuff and helps the spider get itself untangled. The spider is clearly slowed down by the stuff stuck to it, and it just holds up each leg in turn and sits totally still for this dude. It even lets him pull the fuzz that's stuck to its face.

Spiders can get tangled up in the dustbunnies that accumulate in the corners of rooms and under furniture; the hairs on their legs get all wrapped up in it and they can't extricate themselves.

What a nice man.

I would love to know what was going through that spider's head. I assume it wasn't being hurt and was in fact regaining mobility and so didn't try to scuttle off, but even that is way more intelligence than I'd expect. People tend to think of arthropods as basically organic robots, but I feel like they're more than that. And that's why I catch them and escort the fuzzy ones outside, and the spindly ones to the basement. We can all live in harmony. :unsmith:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portia_(spider)

There are spiders that appear to have high level intelligence!

quote:

Portia often hunt in ways that seem intelligent.[11] All members of Portia have instinctive hunting tactics for their most common prey, but can improvise by trial and error against unfamiliar prey or in unfamiliar situations, and then remember the new approach.[8]

They are capable of trying out a behavior to obtain feedback regarding success or failure, and they can plan ahead (as it seems from their detouring behavior).[12]

Portia species can make detours to find the best attack angle against dangerous prey, even when the best detour takes a Portia out of visual contact with the prey,[8] and sometimes the planned route leads to abseiling down a silk thread and biting the prey from behind. Such detours may take up to an hour,[13] and a Portia usually picks the best route even if it needs to walk past an incorrect route.[14]:422 If a Portia makes a mistake while hunting another spider, it may itself be killed.[13]

Portia uses trial-and-error to successfully solve a confinement problem (i.e. how to escape from an island surrounded by water) both when correct choices are rewarded and when incorrect choices are punished.[15]

Nonetheless, they seem to be relatively slow "thinkers", as is to be expected since they solve tactical problems by using brains vastly smaller than those of mammalian predators.[11] Portia has a brain significantly smaller than the size of the head of a pin,[16] and it has only about 600,000 neurons,[17] hundreds of thousands of times fewer than the human brain.

slow but steady.

The only thing stopping me from getting a little rat pet (well, besides the fact that I have three cats) is how short lived they are. They're so terribly sweet and fun to watch, but having one only live 2-3 years would kill me.
