GodDaughter2’s Dad recently sent another photo of their cat Oscar, displaying his lack of any fear of heights:
And also, in this case, his desire to keep an eye on other cats in the neighbourhood.
Photo taken by GD2D from a nearby balcony. On the left, the original photo that incame. On the right, a crop showing the other three cats down below, just in case you missed them, as I did when I first looked at the photo.
I don’t fully understand Oscar’s relationships with other cats nearby. My first impression: It’s complicated. Whenever I witness Oscar “socialising”, there seems like a lot of exchanging of territorial proclamations going on, in among other stuff, but what do I know? And note that the three cats below are also, in a quieter and smaller way, keeping their distance from each other.
When you observe cats with each other, you get to realise how nice and polite most of them are to us, by comparison.
Indeed. Anyone who thinks the private ownership of land is an unnatural invention of capitalist society has never met a cat.
