• I though it was Vientiane for a second. It isn’t : they don’t have tall buildings there.

    Little story about Vientiane and cats: there’s a old lady that feeds the street cats twice a day, at 8 am and 5 pm. Like clockwork, about 20 cats show up 15 min before those times and just wait for her. It looks a lot like the picture, only with a lot more cats. Moral of the story: cats can precisely tell the time.

      In my experience, cats can precisely tell the time but would prefer to be fed five minutes early, and will express that preference.

        Mine used to take half an hour removed about my lazyness to feed them, but I was on time, not them. Got fed up (pun intended) and bought a couple of automated feeders. Not my problem anymore. Weird fact: instead of removed and yelling to the auto-feeder, they wait silently in front of it for the very same amount of time or more.

          Did you remove the expletives or is it the instance because it’s kid-safe? Made me chuckle, like when the captions on MeTV do something like:

          “Would you like a XXXXtail, sir?”

          “No thanks, I’m the pilot, no XXXXtails in the XXXXpit.”
