For anyone not so familiar with cat behavior, this cat is out of its mind excited to do this. It’s much more rare for cars to wag their tails but it means the same as it does when a dog does it. This cat is curious and proud and playing. It keeps looking at its owner too, like “LOOK AT ME, DAD” and it’s so rare to get videos of cats this happy. This is fucking rad
Nope.. wagging tails means anger or irritation in cat body language.
hey y’all, hope you don’t mind me stepping in!
you’re both right :) a wagging tail means the cat is highly stimulated (think coiled spring, ready to go off). depending on the situation, this can be interpreted differently - just like people can smile nervously at job interviews vs. happily grin at friends.
in most cases, it’s safe to interpret overstimulation as ‘you’re doing something to amp up the cat & it wants you to stop’ (ex. unwanted petting). it should be seen as a warning; all that pent-up energy COULD be released as a swat or bite.
BUT in this case, that tail-wagging ‘frustration’ is the stimulation that comes from problem-solving (where can I jump? is it safe to go here?) and the excitement of play. it’s good to be wary of ‘cute’ animals vids, but this seems like an unproblematic video!
I’d like to add to this–just look at world-famous box-loving cat, Maru, who wags his tail every time he stuffs his body into a box or other small object. He’s clearly not about to attack the person behind the camera! It’s definitely based on stimulation, but more to the point of “ahhh FINALLY I’ve gotten into the small space, now how do I get the rest of me inside”:
Can I just say……I love how 95% of the TAZ fandom draws taako with buck teeth and/or just any kind of imperfections?? By society’s standards? Freckles, buck teeth, eye bags, just all these things, because it is 10000% canon that taako is GORGEOUS, and for everyone to automatically portray him having all these traits that are USUALLY considered flaws, but he’s STILL beautiful, just kills me. I love it. Please keep doing it.
why would you pay someone for 26-51 weeks for doing nothing
you have a very, very odd definition of “doing nothing”.
On a scale from zero to American society, how much do you hate women and children
In what sense is giving birth helping the company and why would they get payed for it.
1. Many of these countries have systems where the government pays for it.
2. Consider, maybe it makes more financial sense to actually take care of your employees instead of having to hire and training someone totally new whenever anyone has a baby.
3. Consider, maybe things can have value even if they don’t directly produce profit.
The rest of the world has figured this out. Literally the rest of the world.
Even the horrific, actually woman hating Middle East? Where women are stoned for being raped?
Yes. Saudi Arabia has 10 weeks of paid leave. Iraq has 62 days.
Yemen has 60 days. Iran has 6 months AND 2 weeks paid for fathers!
