    Ngl I’m not huge on cats but seeing that while studying would’ve been a really nice break and would help lighten the load

      Why are you not huge on cats? Have you not owned one?

        They’re bad for the environment if they get out of the house, and a lot of people have made fair arguments that they’re not actually a domesticated animal.

              It’s debatable if the cats live happier lives though.

              Our cat is pretty much depressed during winter because she can’t (Well she can if she wants but it’s cold and snowy 🤷) go out. When it’s summer she seems way happier because she can run around outside.

              She is also less annoying during the summer because during winter she constantly meows because she has nothing to do.

          Yeah and that makes them even better.

                i understand the sentiment but the “cats are bad for the environment” thing is mostly about how the human practice of keeping and breeding cats has made more cats than are good for the environment and placed them basically everywhere.

                like yeah there are native cats but also we have a shit ton of cats brought and/or bred by humans that nature is not equipped to handle

    The first pic looks like a mug shot. “Proofreading the manuscript” is pretty funny. It seems a little odd that the cats’ names aren’t also included
