::: spoiler Transcription A Bluesky post from "Slippy", @damnslippy.slippy.me, with a profile picture of a woman with short, purple hair holding a knife: Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, that among the reasons they \*can\* talk is "to make sure the monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them." :::
i've been feeding my dog chicken thighs after her last hungerstrike. She recognizes the difference in between my knifework on sausage/veggies and chicken.
My cats tell me when it's dinner time, not the other way around :)
My dogs have learned that the sound of a knife on the cutting board means there's a chance food of some kind might make it to the floor, so they come running.
