Just a short felid post this morning as I’m on my way to D.C.
Like phorid flies, cats have developed a subtle form of mimicry. A French subspecies has evolved to resemble croissants, enabling them to hide in bakeries and enjoy the warmth of ovens. The mimicry is astonishingly precise.
Why do I find that absolutely creepy?
Hahah. Oh man, I was going to send you a link to that video but I thought “Nah, that’s too weird, even for Jerry!” ;-D
So cats are carnivorous croissants ?
Yummy, I can’t wait to rip one open and eat it while it’s still warm.
Perfect find. Thanks.
The baker will come in see the nice croissant then think of making a cheezburgant and proceed to cooking which will enwaken the kitteh. Thus setting the stage for kitteh gets cheezburger.
Oh, there’s a long history of cat/pastry mimicry and at least one known case of hybrid speciation.
The details are best not thought about.
Dammit, WordPress ate my link. Here:

I’ve been calling the curled-up position the “catssant” position for a while now–it’s particularly cute when we get a double catssaant on the bed.
Jerry, I don’t know what I would do without your Caturday and Friday Felids.
Makes my day. Thank you so very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You definitely need this holiday!
