::: 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." :::

Yeah cats can tell time somehow. Not just meal times but things like when I'm coming home or my bedtime. I've read that they like to stick to routines and find change threatening. Probably why they panic when I move a piece of furniture or organize the closet.

Understandable. That's why I leave my drying rack out all the time - if I put it away whenever my clothes were dry, I'd be screaming without pause
