why I really do need a little beetle-sized robot and VR goggles...

Many people have been amusing themselves by giving their cats buttons that say words: "pets", "toy", "food", "mad" etc.

Cats will readily learn to press buttons if it prompts a reaction from humans. There is a lot of over-interpreting cat behavior. The words are so suggestive... but it seems fun for the cats and people.

It is ... telling that multiple cats enjoy pushing the "mad" button over and over. Maybe because humans find it funny? Or maybe because it is true.

I've considered how one might make such buttons for ants.

But there is a fundamental problem. Ants struggle to perceive us due to our huge size. We are more like weather and terrain to them.

So, to interact with ants you would need an ant-size avatar. As an ant-size object that moves you will be classified as either: food, enemy, symbiont or colony member

Symbiont seems like the most fruitful stance.

This is why I really do need a little beetle-sized robot and VR goggles.

Of course the idea of being beyond one's understanding due to sheer size is terrifying and fruitful in its own way.

What being do we fail to see because we think they are fundamental forces, or properties of space-time?

i have a question about cat comprehension (and this probly applies to other pets too)

if pets like BilliSpeaks can comprehend human language when spoken outloud, (shown by when they respond in the same language via button-pressing)……

do ALL cats comprehend spoken human language from their owners, and most just cant demonstrate it cuz they dont have buttons?

i know sometimes dogs react behaviorally to the word “walk”!!

do most pets straight-up comprehend full sentences?????

I’ve got “I think I wanna eat a Beggin Strip!” for my Discord status and everyone keeps telling me to go for it and eat one.

It’s a line from MBMBAM... Please...I don’t really want to eat one...

In Part 2 of "Taming a Troublemaker," Honey (the ghost cat) tries to stir up trouble with Tipi and Tuck until they shut her down with their distracting conversation.

I'll am currently working on making this my ringtone. The fact one of the cats is actually doing the "laying on of hands" thing makes this almost perfect.

I never thought I would find a cat vocalization video to top Oh Long Johnson or I Am Big Billy, but I might have! Though I don't think anything will top the epic Cat Lover's Spat (subtitled version linked).
