I stand by my earlier statement that people who agonize over whether or not they could be good parents make, in general, better parents than people who never question whether they could be good parents. I also think that people who worry about whether they can handle responsibilities are much better at dealing with them than people who just assume that they can handle it.
Hehe. It’s how pregnancy tests used to be done, I kid you not. Before someone came up with a chemical way to detect the hormone that indicates pregnancy, the test consisted of injecting a sample of the woman’s urine on a live male frog of a particular species. If there was enough of that hormone, 4-6 hours after the injection the frog tried to fertilize the non-existent eggs that biochemistry insisted were present.
Googling finds references to male frogs in spanish medical webs and to female frogs ovulating in news translated to English. Apparently both methods existed.
Well, well, ignorace fought another day. I was aware of the rabbitt ploy, but not the frog gambit.
?? It’s possible that many if not most of the boarding cats were kept as indoor cats, but the strays were not–I mean, it’s rather the definition of a stray, at least where I grew up. The city generally used live traps and they were set up outdoors.
Unless the indoor cat eats a mouse who has it from outside and gets into your home.
