Cat likes people but not other cats. How to keep her from being lonely indoors?
  • You can add lots of toys and treats to keep them amused. Remember at a rescue place each cat has much less space than a room, sometimes a glorified box. It would be really sad if you have to send them back, but I will say I've adopted a lot of adult cats and it's never happened to me. There's a chance, but I think it's fairly low.

    Have you considered fostering for a rescue? That way you can save a cat and you can get a better idea how your cat will react.

  • Rule
  • Not really talking about brutality, although that varies from place to place, but more the occupying garrison for the ruling class comments. Police structure vary from country to country.

    Also Scotland yard is a building, it doesn't do anything.

  • Rule
  • These days, we know the police are not here to protect the public, rather to serve as an occupying garrison for the ownership class, and while this was always the case, the DEA and war on drugs and the 1033 program have made this role even more clear.

    American police. Police in different countries are structured in very different ways.

  • Here's why proportional representation is important.
  • While I see the good bits of Proportional Representation, it does give extremism a foot in the door. Remember this is the voting pattern in a FPTP system, one of the tabloids even encouraged reform voters to switch to the Tories because of tactical voting. Changing the voting system gives these far right anti human rights parties a much better chance.

  • Police are Using Drones More and Spending More For Them
  • This article seems to be trying to make the use of drones seem ominous but that's really simplistic. A drone is a tool. They talk about flying drones over large gatherings but before drones they'd just have a dude with a camera go up a tall building.

    When there's large gatherings it can be helpful to spot crowd surges or crushes to be able to see things.

    Of course these things are open to abuse, but how many cases of abuse have we seen with basic police on foot?

    It's not the technology we should be worrying about but the officers who are abusive.

  • Wild chimpanzees eat plants that have pain-relieving and anti-bacterial properties to heal themselves, according to scientists
  • I've mentioned this before but I worked at a zoo and we provided all kinds of plants to primates that were medicinal for just this reason, they're very clever and often treat their illnesses before the keepers even know they're sick. Not just great apes either, capuchins and lemurs that aren't nearly as bright do it too.

  • Aaaaaaa
  • They were certainly feared but aren't as dangerous as say, a tiger, which we keep regularly. Their poo suggests a herbivorous diet so unlikely to be hunting anything regularly, probably more like a cassowary that attack for defence.

  • A cool guide of commonly believed myths
  • Fun fact I learned this week, humans have no sense for water, we work out something is wet by combining things, like if it's cold, if the pressure is different, if it's moving past us, but can't actually tell wetness.

  • Aaaaaaa
  • I think Moa are a cool candidate for de-extinction, cause we have close relatives, they wouldn't be too dangerous, and we could house them well in zoos. Plus I'd super like to see one.
