I can “see” why it makes you nervous. I just had a rather unexpected and distressing discovery during a recent visit with my optometrist: a hole in my retina. If it does not grow worse, all should be OK.
A cat being patient and tolerant while pestered by a baby, I’ve seen. (See the Rudyard Kipling tale as well). A bird, I cannot imagine.
Cats adapt satisfactorily to other pets if those other pets were present from the beginning (and your cat is still a kitten). You introduce another pet, your cat is likely to see that as detracting from their quality of life, and will never be anything better than resigned to it. I’m wondering which one was there first.
Pet birds are quite retro. I don’t think I’ve known anyone who had one since about 1985. Ditto tropical fish. What Morris said, “If you can’t be a cat, why bother?”
Obviously the cat is well fed. But, how would the parrot know that?
Just another open-thread comment. It’s not about parrots and cats, but it might make you nervous.
Matt Walsh, who writes for the “Daily Wire,” has produced a Michael-Moore style documentary entitled “What is a Woman.” I watched it last night and would recommend it to anyone. Unfortunately, it probably won’t change anybody’s mind. For conservatives, it will be preaching to the choir, for Marxists (aka Progressives, Socialists, Democrats) it will be a triggering event.
Walsh plays a common-sense everyman who goes around asking experts “what is a woman?”. The results are maddening, but sometimes funny, in a black-humor sort of way.
I wish that Walsh had interviewed Heather Heying, an evolutionary biologist who was excommunicated from Evergreen State. At her substack site, Heying has written an essay called “I Am a Woman” (https://tinyurl.com/2m75p5e4).
Heying starts her essay by stating the facts that we all used to know:
“Women are adult human females.
Adults are individuals who have attained the average age of first reproduction for their species. They have reached the age of maturity. The term adult applies across many species, and is used to distinguish them from juveniles, who are not yet capable of reproduction.
Humans are members of the genus Homo. Our relatives in the genus Australopithecus, now extinct, are sometimes categorized as human as well. Every individual Homo sapiens is a human.
Females are individuals who do or did or will or would, but for developmental or genetic anomalies, produce eggs. Eggs are large, sessile gametes. Gametes are sex cells. In plants and animals, and most other sexually reproducing organisms, there are two sexes: female and male. Like “adult,” the term female applies across many species. Female is used to distinguish such people from males, who produce small, mobile gametes (e.g. sperm, pollen).”
Theres also kitten talking to a dog.
Thank you for that link, Cornflour. Very well written.
}}} it will be a triggering event.
Works for me, the more hysterical and out of control they are, the more they turn off anyone who isn’t already one of them… and even the more rational among those even get pushed away.
Triggering assholes, always A Real Good Thing.
Yes, you have to deal with their shit, but… you were actually going to have to do that, anyway (I mean, they ARE assholes, capisce?).
This way, you can use their shit to fertilize the minds of others with sensible ideas.
I’ve long suspected this and everyone else might already know it, but when you buy stock via ETF or mutual fund, the fund managers vote your shares.
Famously, Black Rock and others use their voting power to bully companies and force them to advance “Woke” policies.

“Let’s say I own shares of Boeing or GE. This gives me the right to vote my shares. That is, if I own shares in a public (or private for that matter) company, I have a right to representation — I can vote at the annual meeting for, as an example, the board of directors. I can also vote on shareholder proposals, which may include things like “DIE” (or DEI), ESG and similar.
That’s how it should be. If I own the stock via a brokerage account then I get notices before the meeting from the brokerage (this is part of what they’re required to send to me) and can vote as I wish.
Except…. this has been corrupted.”
This is kind of like watching children molest a St. Bernards. Some animals are just naturally patient with being molested. Which are the ones you want around your tykes.
Not confidence building … I am not making this up–

France is due for national legislative elections in the next two weeks. Rough projections at this time are that Macron’s assemblage of parties will take 55% of the seats, the left parties will take about 30%, and the right parties about 15%, with a scatter going to local and regionalist campaigns. All the consequential left parties have signed on to a co-operative pact. The right parties are split between conventional and nationalist elements and the nationalists do not have a co-operative agreement. Ten years ago, 85% of the seats in the legislature were one by one of four forces: the Socialist Party, UMP, the Greens, and technocratic / social-liberal satellites of UMP. (UMP and its satellites have been rechristened in the interim). Rough projections have it that these four forces might corral 20% of the seats this time.
In regard to popular preferences, the nationalist parties on the French right currently have a pool of support about twice that of the conventional right. The more Euroskeptical element of the French left now has a plurality therein.
Most recent public polling in Wyoming indicates Lizard Cheney is viewed favorably by < 30% of the public and will win < 1/3 of the ballots in the August primary.
As of four months ago, George W. Bush had cut checks for three candidates for public office: his nephew, Lizard Cheney, and Sleaza Murkowski. I take back every word I ever uttered in defense of that man.
So she’ll probably lose and hang around msnbc like jacob marley kinzinger has cnn staked out

I think we’re going to have to redefine “malarkey”. Yep, that moment has definitely arrived…
Hmmm. Let’s try something like this:
Malarkey (noun): truthfulness, honesty, uprightness, forthrightness, reliability, credibility….
“…Buttigieg Claims Biden’s Actions Haven’t Contributed To Gas Price Doubling”—
