I swear to god, this is the only cute cat pic I will ever post.

Not mine but from a FB post with no attribution. If it offends anyone my posting this in GD please PM me so I can remove it. I was hoping to simply share a smile

implies recognizing the image as the same species (maybe). I does not necessarily imply recognizing oneself. If you wanted to attack yourself you wouldn't so it in a mirror.

'behavioral science' is turning out to be kind of fragile. (not terribly well supported) I won't dive deeply - but scientists have spent generations (almost deliberately?) dismissing and underestimating the abilities ... (while pet owners routinely exaggerate ..) And then there's the problem of trying 'overlay' our own experience of perceptions and consciousness - to explain and define what we observe in other beings.

So, I would have missed it.


The photographer was in the right place at the right time.

And just in time for Halloween 😻

Stuff from the Lounge does get there from time to time, and I would expect this to be a candidate.

Too many people here are totally delighted by it! Every bit as much as that little kid in the window is! Little girl, I think.

What a sweet photo! GREAT find! THANKS for posting it here, Tom!
