Re: Pets watching TV

[herpymcderp]

Not that rare, actually. This is a pretty common behaviour with cats.

Topic is, weird things pets do, not unusual things pets do.

Re: Pets watching TV

[herpymcderp]

But to some degree weirdness is unsualness. It's statistical anomaly.

If it happens constantly it is by definition not weird. Sure, you might think excretory supervision weird in a cultural context because it's a thing humans frown upon socially, but it's definitely not weird in a feline context. How else do you think kittens learn to use the litter box? They watched mum.

I disagree.

Re: Pets watching TV

That's your constitutional right, but you're wrong.

nayrt

This is why people think you're an ass.

Re: Pets watching TV

[herpymcderp]

You mean, it's why you think I'm an ass.

The other anon clearly wasn't offended.

Re: Pets watching TV

I'm definitely not the only one here who thinks you're an ass, lol.

Re: Pets watching TV

[herpymcderp]

Cool.

SA

I feel guilty. I should have clarified, I'm not NAYRT. I meant to but it was a mental error. I hit post too soon. I'm sorry.

Re: Pets watching TV

[herpymcderp]

I don't think anyone is offended.

I was mostly being pedantic because I'm bored and there's no one here to talk to lol.

Re: Pets watching TV

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I don't think you're offended, I just really hate the idea of you thinking a certain way about some other anon because of my idiocy, you know? Not fair to them.

Re: Pets watching TV

I don't think that's true. Something can be rare without being weird, or common and still be weird. Weird has nothing to do with frequency, it has everything to do with a judgment of something strange or curious.

And it's a moot point anyway because we're all coming from human culture and human mindsets and it is in no way incorrect, grammatically or otherwise, to call cat behavior weird, regardless of whether or not it's common. If it pings us as weird, it's weird.

Re: Pets watching TV

everything to do with a judgment of something strange or curious

Yes, exactly. And people don't judge things to be strange or curious if they are commonplace. It's not like you're going to see someone mowing their lawn in shorts and a T shirt and go "oh my how strange!" It's a statistically frequent thing. It pings as "usual" because it is frequent. You have seen it before many times. Your brain does not pay attention to it.

Now, if you were to see someone mowing their lawn in a full Elvis getup with wig, rhinestones, big belt, etc... that's not usual. That's a bit weird. You see what I'm getting at? Weirdness is a function of social frequency. For us, social frequency is private evacuation of the bowels.

For cats? Not so much.

But that's not true.

I think the faces people make during sex are weird, but presumably everyone makes them.
I think the way people press the up or down button on the elevator even though it's already lit is weird, but lots of people do that.
I think people who flush a public toilet that maybe has some toilet paper or shit or something in it before going themselves are weird, because it's not like you're touching it and you may as well save the water.

So you see, humans do lots of things regularly that I think are weird. It's not uncommon behavior, it's just strange.

Okay, I know this wasn't the point of the comment but... SPLASHBACK IS A THING. YOU COULD BE TOUCHING IT WITH YOUR ANUS AND OR VAGINA ACTUALLY. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
