This one got miss-filed as schadenfreude. Chill cat playing with kittens using their tail:

(The ears forward and slow eye blinks mean a happy, contented kitty)

And that bit of carpeting means she's at the Overlook Hotel.

I don't know how much credence I give the "slow eye blinks" thing since I've never seen a cat with rapid eye blinks.

For a time. Seemed like it was either slow eye-blinks, or wide eyed and no blinks as she stared at something fascinating.

I mean, you're not wrong, cats don't really need to blink the way we do. But when they are expressing contentment, they temporarily close their eyes exactly like the cat in the video in question, so call that gesture whatever you like.

I love how little we understand cats. It feels like everything we know is just a wild-rear end guess.

Milo and POTUS: Sep 3, 2017; I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I think it comes from cats

"While the new research does outrightly refute the previous theory, researchers said it is also a “clear indicator” that the current understanding of cat purring is incomplete and warrants further research."

Reminds me of the time I had my dog at the vet and he was losing his poo poo at a drug ad that was a carboard cutout of a cat with a motorized tail. The vet tech tried to reassure him by taking the cutout down from the window sill and letting him sniff it.

As soon as she put it back up on the window, he started losing his poo poo again.

One of my cats loves to go for my towel while I'm standing in the shower stall. He just likes to bat the glass as the towel goes past. He doesn't show much interest in going for my actual towel, just the towel on the other side of the glass.

We had to get rid of a Bravecto ad in our lobby because it was a big standee of a chocolate lab that sent every 20th patient or so into a frenzy.

I got reminded of Uzbekistan's Samarkand bread by something, this video of how they're baked against the walls of big dome-shaped ovens that the bakers contort themselves to use always mesmerizes me.
