This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff

Weeks ago, my cat came to the understanding that when the humans turn a doorknob, the door opens; not only that, but that she could use that knowledge herself, because it's the turning part that works, not the human part. She's spent every day since then practicing getting strong and coordinated (and physically large) enough to do it herself, sometimes for a couple of minutes and sometimes for up to an hour straight.

It's so cool to me to see such a simple little meat machine grasping complex cause and effect concepts like that. I love animal behavior so much.
