Cats are true masters of the grift, kittens have unlocked the compounding effects of cat cuteness multiplied by baby cuteness that almost becomes a cognitohazard which hijacks other mammals parental instincts. kind of like the mammilian version of parasitic birds that make other species take care of their young. Toxoplasmosis probably doesn’t help either.

I say this as a person that has multiple cats.

Was fostering some kittens once, one of them managed to find our dog and kept trying to feed. The look he gave us was priceless.

That nature just does it’s own thing and doesn’t follow our weird puritanical rules, no matter how many times religious people say something “goes against nature”

What does it even mean for something to go against nature? Biology is absolutely wild, and as long as something is physically possible, it will happen somewhere. You could say this and that about a specific group of animals, but there are always crazy exceptions to whatever rule you can come up with. Who knows, maybe there’s a species that depends on virtual particles, superpositions, quantum tunneling, teleportation or entanglement. Sure, those things are really weird, but they are still possible, so why not. Biology seems to be all about this “why not” style of thinking.

Its strange though when one species drinks the titty juice of another species. Imagine if humans did it…
