A feel good thread

[JasonPratt]

Meanwhile, I'm not sure all the photos at this twit achieve the stated purpose of "why you should have a cat", but still a feel-good thread.

(Note 1: at least one thread at Grogheads should attempt to approach the proportion of cat video/photo threads on the internet and it might as well be this one.)

(Note 2: this 'feel good thread' was posted in 'Enigmas of the Mystical', and I don't know what else fits those two categories together better than cats.)

I've long felt that cats are further along the evolutionary scale than dogs just because they know how to bury their own poop. This can only be a sign of advanced intelligence far beyond what they allow us to see them doing to mask their unseen campaign to conquer and rule over us. But they're just so cute at it!

Plus they have some kind of plasmosis virus or... or cuddles or something!

Meanwhile, a different kind of feelgood article, for pride, integrity, and guts:

4000 sorties, 4 losses, in 2 years or less of initial action.

Plus a badass nickname from your enemies -- the Whispering Death!

"Failure?" What "failure"!?

I think your missing the point here Pratt.

Fair enough. I felt pretty good about reading it.  But this should be more of a degaussing topic.

not a bad fucking idea at all!

Baby goats: sort of like kittens, so counts as a feel-good video!

The amount of effort a baby goat puts into each hop is astounding, and only fully observed by slowing down their motion so you can see every twist and turn clearly. They leap so bravely forward. Even the youngest six who are one week old, are �full of twists and turns and side kicks.

So many people ask us why they hop, and I'm not sure we will ever know entirely. It is likely some combination of skill development, as herbivores it's important that they can elude predators with clever fake outs, and also probably to a large degree just for the joy of it. They leap because they can!

Humans could benefit so much by practicing being more, nimble, fluid, and joyful. It is so easy to get stuck in our ways, to feel heavy, and weighed down by the world. The goat kids show us that there is another way.

I'm tired after that and need a nap.

I am not crying, it's just my allergies making my eyes water.
