You’ll have to claim to be speaking medieval French to get the pronunciation right. The cat is just old-fashioned, it’s fine

I’m not sure I see why we’d do that when we don’t already draw the distinction that way between ourselves and other animals. The only way I see “Human” as a proper noun in English is if we wind up uniting under “the Human Federation” or something like that and it specifically becomes the demonym of the polity we belong to

We don’t capitalise “human”, though. Treating them as equals would be not capitalising it

That was great hahahaha

That cat saved Skyrim, she deserves respect

Antarctica is divided up into a whole bunch of wedge-shaped territories managed by different countries (plus an international treaty where everyone agreed to only use it for scientific purposes), and most research stations are near the coast. The Chilean, Argentinian, and British areas are in that area near South America. For the rest, starting in South America would mean you’d have to cross a big chunk or even all of Antarctica to get where you want to be

• Norway are playing England in the football
• Ireland historically dislikes England
• The room being painted like that is very heavy-handedly implying that the Dublin fire brigade is supporting Norway because they want England to lose

Norway are playing England in the football world cup tonight

The name derives from an old Irish one that means “little king”, so in that sense it’s pretty perfect for a cat

That is a full-force complaint right there. That’s going straight to your manager whether you like it or not

It’s like they can turn their bones off at will

He looks like a wonderful little guy. His eyes are very expressive

Like Alaric the Goth! Naming a black cat after the wrong kind of goth seemed funny to me. Also “Alaric” means king of everything, which seemed about right for him. I am glad to hear that his Ostrogothic kinsman is faring well

Of course!

Visi, he is named for the sacker of Rome

Well because I didn’t? Bizarre thing to be so hostile about. He didn’t pull it over himself, he just burrowed under it

Captivating eyes!

I suppose it probably depends on their coats quite a bit? One with a dense layer of down hair is effectively wearing a winter coat compared to another cat wearing a windcheater

But in general, their natural body temperatures are a degree or two higher than ours, which is probably part of why they love being so warm
