  • There's a simple way to increase your cat's happiness, says animal behaviorist Nicky Trevorrow. She explains the importance of play for our feline friends - and for basically any species (looking at you, dog lovers!) - and shares specific, actionable strategies to boost your cat's mental and physical health. (Recorded at TEDxCardiff on February 11, 2023)

    how my cat and I play is: we fight to the bone. I tease him a little and then he goes wild and we get into the cage and punch each other til death. he wins all the time and my arm looks like a 2000s emo band singers.

    So, my beloved cat can't deal with "biscuits". And i can't deal with the diarrhea he emits when he's had them.... On the carpets, on my bed, NEXT to (12 inches away from) the cat commode (NOT an accident and the commodes are cleaned daily)...
    I've looked at the "mostly meat" varieties of cat treats and they are more expensive than the $12 per pound I spend on fresh, organic meat for his meals.
    And I'd LOVE to give him "treats" and rewards, but... I don't love cleaning up his feces. IN the box, no problem, but he gets kaolin clay daily just to keep the meat diet under control. (Vet can't find anything wrong with him, no bugs, no bacteria he can identify).
    So he chases feathers on a cat fishing pole...
    He's an indoor cat and bored., frequently rejecting toys... Hates catnip and silvervine.

      That's nonsense. Cats are FAMOUSLY known for playing with their prey. Are you new to earth?
      You can even play with the cat before mealtime, that way, the cat "catches" the prey and get to eat. That makes the cat happy.

      While she didn't say "dolphin", dolphin are in fact fish. As are all mammals.
      You can't construct a clade that includes sharks (which most people think of as "fish") and goldfish, (which most people think of as fish) that doesn't include dolphins. Because dolphins have a more recent common ancestor with goldfish than goldfish do with sharks.

    God loves you and cares for you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this large universe and controls it completely. The greatest loss a person loses in this life is that he lives without knowing God who created him and knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. Great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and after that you have the choice to believe in it or not to believe in it. I advise you to do this now, before you no longer have time to do so. Life is very short. It is just a test, just a passage to eternal life. Great advice to those who... Understands

      For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18
      1. Human wisdom: Seeing the cross as foolishness, lacking power or relevance.
      2. God's wisdom: Recognizing the cross as the power of God, bringing salvation and redemption.
      Remember
      1. God's ways often contradict human understanding.
      2. Faith and trust in God's plan are essential for salvation.
      3. The cross, though seemingly weak, holds immense power and significance.
      Jesus is the way the truth and the life... John 14:6. It is always about love and service and God came to us as Jesus to show us pure love and pure service, died so that we may be forgiven and our souls saved.
      He came before as Melchizedek. Abraham gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything he had brought back from the battle.
      In Gnostic and Hermetic belief, Melchizedek is seen as a pre-existent divine being or a manifestation of the divine. He may be associated with the left hand, symbolizing the feminine or receptive aspect of divinity.
      Jesus is often viewed as a divine spark or emanation of the supreme being. He may be associated with the right hand, symbolizing the masculine or active aspect of divinity.
