I brought my rats home for thanksgiving break and I’m laughing because the cats are terrified of them
“Cats are cold, detached & unloving.”
“Cats are not loyal.”
“A cat will not greet you at the door.”
“You can not train a cat”
“Cats aren’t that smart.”
“Cats aren’t that good with children.”
“Cats don’t miss you when you’re gone.”
“Cats don’t comfort you when you’re feeling down.”
What a load of crap !!! One thing for certain… cats don’t give a rat’s ass what B.S. you tell about them. They refuse to care less, either about what you think of them, or about the people they love.
“Cats don’t miss you when you’re gone” is a ton of bs. Whenever I leave to go anywhere, I can hear my cats meowing at the door within moments trying to find me. They sit in the window watching for me to come home and they are at the door to greet me almost every single time.
Cats also grieve.
This cat watches a video of their owner who had passed away and he tries to cuddle up with the phone. The look on his face when they zoom in on him brings me to tears every time.
One of our cats comes and sleeps next to me when he sees that I’m not feeling well. If he’s in the kitchen when I come down for food with cramps or with a cold, he’ll follow me back upstairs and lay down on me and purr.
Cats are aloof animals who don’t put up with nonsense, will defend their boundaries with claws, and sometimes like to push things down to see what happens, but they aren’t jerks.
Pharaoh Ramses II’s Egyptian passport, issued in 1976 for passage to France nearly three millennia after his death.
In order to leave the country, Egypt required anyone leaving the country, living or dead, to have the proper papers. Seemingly the first mummy to receive one, Ramses had his occupation listed as “King (deceased).” Bibliothèque Infernale on FB

Hey Space Mom, I had a shitty day today, like the shittiest. Can you say something positive to me ?
Did you know that adult cats only meow at humans? They don’t meow to other cats. Cats learned to meow so they could talk to us. It’s possible cats learned to do that noise because humans are poor imitators of animal noises. it’s possible that cats mimicked us mimicking them
“Having many cats is good. If you feel bad, you look at the cats and you feel better, because they know that everything is just the way it is. You don’t have to be nervous about anything. And they know it. They are saviors. The more cats you have, the longer you will live. If you have a hundred cats, you will live ten times longer than if you have ten.One day, this will be known and people will have thousands of cats.“
-Charles Bukowski
HISTORY SIDE OF TUMBLR
Please prove your excistence and teach me about history, I would thank you with my life.
Abraham Lincoln loved cats. He was obsessed with cats. When his wife was asked if he had any hobbies, she responded, “Cats.” He used to take home stray cats on a regular basis. One time he found some kittens on a farm during a military meeting and he put them his lap and petted them affectionately. Then he told the owners of the kittens to make sure they were given warm milk after he left.
Gouverneur Morris once tried to unclog the blockage in his dick (historians think he probably had prostate cancer) by shoving a whale bone up his pee hole, which resulted in death
Charles Adams, John Adams’s son, once got drunk and ran naked across Harvard Yard. He was expelled, but when John Adams spoke to the administrators he was readmitted.
John Quincy Adams wore the same hat every day for 10 years.
Also John Quincy Adams kept a live alligator as a present from Lafayette, which he kept in a bathtub in the East Wing of the White House.
Bonus fact: John Quincy Adams would frequently go to the library very early in the morning (around 4) but he would have to go through the guest rooms to get there, so guests often woke up scared by the president quietly sneaking through their rooms in the middle of the night. This grew to be such a problem that a /whole new hallway/ was built just for John Quincy to get to the library and is still there to this day. Thanks Egg President!
Mansa Musa of Mali was the richest man in all of history (and he wasn’t white!!!) and he was so rich and spent his money so crazily that it actually caused inflation in the Mediterranean and the value of gold fucking plummeted in places like Cairo and Medina, he tried to fix it but it took a really long time for markets to recover. So the entire economy of all of the Mediterranean was actually controlled by one guy for a bit and that’s insane
Frederick the Great of Prussia was all about music. He composed four symphonies and more than a hundred shorter sonatas, as well as being an accomplished flute player himself. He spent so much time playing (when he wasn’t beating the shit out of every great European power) that his head was permanently tilted.
At the height of his power cocaine kingpin Pablo Escobar was the 7th richest man in the world with an estimated net worth of $30 Billion. He wrote off $2 billion dollars each year lost to rodents eating his money, and spent $2,500 a month just on rubber bands used to store his cash in bricks.
Former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau (Current PM Justin’s father) was the most outrageous of the world leaders (not in crazy politics, but just harmless shenanigans). He slid down railings in public buildings, danced jigs behind Queen Elizabeth’s back and many more. The most notable example comes from the height of the October Crisis in 1970′s (French-Canadian radical separatists kidnap a few politicians for the separation of Quebec). When he was asked about his plans to solve the crisis, he replied “Just Watch Me”

James Garfield was a student teacher at a college in Ohio and he had this really pretty smart student named Lucretia Rudolph but was too afraid to talk to her. So, when they were taking a class picture (a super long ordeal then), he bribed the photographer so he could sit next to her in the picture and finally make his move. They were married a year later.
