hate being the generation that remembers no ads on YouTube & the annoyance when we first saw 1 ad every 10 videos, then 1 every 5 videos, then on every video, then multiple ads within a single video, only for YouTube to market paying for Premium™️ to ‘get rid of ads!’ which weren’t even there at the start

TIL that not only do deaf cats tend to purr & meow louder than hearing cats, they also enjoy shrieking loudly bc of the vibrations it causes

also they often have a favorite room to shriek in, such as a bathroom or kitchen with tile floors the sound can reverberate off of. that’s right, deaf kitties have their own Private Screaming Rooms

This is so relevant to me holy shit

So I need y’all to know we had a cat growing up whose name was Whisper.

Whisper had a seizure that left him with some temporary motor difficulties and permanently deaf.

Whisper proceeded to scream at any time he felt like it, specifically anytime he was inconvenienced ever. He became infamous for it. He would wake us up damn near every night.

Whisper had a lot of health problems so he died pretty young, around the age of 7 or 8.

But, Whisper had housemate, Snickers.

Snicky ended up being a solitary cat not liking having any other animal in the house, a thing that was only discovered after Whispy died. In the wake of Whisper’s death, Snicky became more dominant and interacted with us more.

Do you want to know what he also did once Whisper was gone? Can you guess what habit he picked up?

Thing is, Snickers wasn’t deaf. Cat was in near perfect health for his 18 years of life until his kidneys just gave up last December. So he knew how loud he was being. He just saw how much attention it got Whispy and copied the howl wholesale.

I’m not even joking. First night I spent in a house with him after Whispy died I heard him howling and was absolutely petrified for a moment because it sounded exactly like Whisper but Whisper was dead.

This is such a nutty story but I have to ask, did Whisper get his name before or after he developed the habit of screaming the house awake???
