    Proof that cats are evil... he was checking him for his wallet and phone. The little scumbag.

    He whispered in his ear "Try stop me now, ha!"...

    Evil I tell ya, evil.

    Apologies if this is already posted, but I can't see anything. I beseech you to watch this video and not die a little inside.

    Its technique is all wrong.
    It's 30 compressions, 2 breaths X5.
    It didn't even call for help.

    My logic was - if I'm miserable about a Turkish cat on a bank holiday weekend, everybody else should be too.

    Sowwy. :(

    That is sad. The cat was doing what it would do to get affection from its parent when it was a kitten. Thats why cats will knead their owners laps with their paws. They see them as their parent or sibling. It would have been very stressed when it wasnt responding, so it would paw harder as it does in the vid. So yea that is sad to watch.

    I spotted a magpie in my garden gently pecking another dead magpie. Its mate? I have no idea. It was doing this for a while, but clearly not in an aggressive way. I went outside and against form it didnt try to fly away. It actually became aggressive with me as I came closer. Slowly I got closer and closer and it calmed down. I stroked the dead one and it sat less than two feet from me watching. I went off and came back with a trowel and buried the dead one. All the while this wild magpie watched me from feet away, chirping all the time. And then it left.

    I'm defo not one for anthropomorphising animals, but I do acknowledge that emotion and suffering dont have a cut off point with humans.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    top story about the magpie... I'm normally pretty cold hearted but cats just get me everytime... this is probably the saddest thing i have seen on video and i was expecting a funny vid... I miss my cat who died 6 months ago:(:(:(:(:(:(

    Because he was sad and confused. Our human intellect may cover the emotion in symbolism and culture, but the emotion underneath is very real and visceral. Our hubris can often cloud that.

    That magpie I mentioned. All the while I was stroking its dead mate/sibling it was looking at me and the dead one. Literally feet away. I must have looked like the statue of liberty in size to it but somewhere in its mind it understood I wasnt a threat and I do believe in some way it also understood I was respecting the dead one. I dont believe in an intellectual cause and effect way, but in an instinctive way. While an "animal" may not comprehend its own extinction, it does comprehend when the familiar is not longer familiar. That is something we all share.

    That said it has been observed that elephants, wolves and the great apes show definite signs of grief. The latter in particular, but it doesnt mean other animals dont.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I haven't witnessed it first-hand, but I've heard of rabbits and guinea pigs grieving over the death of a fellow pet that it's friends with. I heard a story - I forget where - about a guinea pig and a rabbit who were bonded. Whenever the guinea pig would call out, the rabbit would go over to it and they would start playing.

    When the rabbit died the guinea pig didn't realise and would keep calling for it. When the rabbit didn't come it would get distressed and sad.

    So apparently you're supposed to leave the deceased pet alone for a day or two, so any of its friends can come to terms that it's dead. Which makes sense to me.
