I noticed something what looked like cages as well. Maybe the cat's complaining will encourage someone to adopt it?
The library got a new book by Deepak Chopra and Menos Kafatos, "You are the universe". One thing bothered me in the conclusion that had to do with animals, page 218:
To discover where the evolutionary tidal wave is headed, we need only explore one of the most amazing human traits, shared so far as we know by no other living creature. We are aware of being aware.
How do we know that we are the only creatures who are aware that we are aware? How is it possible for one of those kittens to see something without the kittens being aware that they are seeing something?
