Here ya go…Neuroscience Explains Why You Can't Help but Love Kittens
I’ve always told my brats that they’d be meow loaf if they weren’t so cute…
Sorry to burst your bubble, but that’s not science. For All We Know, she’s making that shit up.
So what’s your question for GQ?
Well, it’s more sciency than blaming them for being the familiars of witches, but not by a lot.
Uh, what?
…I’m not convinced that’s actually true. My research shows that other cats are pretty much dead even with cats in popularity.

I don’t see a question here.
Moving thread from GQ to MPSIMS.
Wait a minute. Most people don’t eat kittens?
Nope!
I like them sunny-side up.
I like them with toast.
And the article then goes on to add “only losing the war to freshwater fish”.
So… catfish are the most popular household pet amongst cats, then?
the source article is a bit oddly written, but IIRC the actual scientific phenomenon being described is “neoteny.”
Cats schmats. When Adi the cockatiel leaned over and bit through the mouse cord, then turned and smiled, I said “It’s a good job you’re so cute, otherwise I’d kill you.”
Science with a small “s”.
It is all because dogs have owners, cats have staff.
I thought it was the toxoplasmosis.
You do not want to use clumping litter with a pet fish.
Our last cockatiels passed away years ago but I still only buy cordless mice. ~:>
Cats always land on their feet. Toast always lands butter side down. So if you glue a piece of buttered toast to a cat’s back and throw it out of a window, it will spin forever in mid air.
True story.
Actually, I’d really like to see some footage of that war between cats and freshwater fish. Especially since the fish are winning.
Fish require more care than people realize, but fresh water is pretty low demand.
Feed them and change the water.
