I wrote I would write about pets

My niece's cat has been acting weird for some days. She, the cat named Ida, showed lots of affection, and also was mewling all the time. I suggest she was in heat. My mom thought Ida was constipated from the new food they had bought. Well, the third day she did go to her box and come back being more calm. Whatever that says. If I should get a pet, it’s almost like a cat would be the only opinion. There are a lot of dogs in my apartment house. I had a short period as a boy when I liked dogs. I have seen a lecture where the cool fact that dogs have always been around us was mentioned. From the Kalahari to the Arctic people have lived with dogs since prehistoric times. But at the end of the day I couldn’t get a dog. Honestly, one thing is of course that if you have a dog, you have to pick up dog poo from the ground. That’s a drawback.

Otherwise, fish can be cool. Here’s the problem is the filter. One has to take care of the mechanics of the filter. That’s work I don’t want to do. Also an aquarium is expensive and if anything goes wrong one can’t trust the insurance companies to pay the damages. Another more exotic pet could be birds. I had a period where I read everything I found about parrots. But again, lots of work. Lots of money. And now it’s time to stop writing before I mention one farm/private zoo nearby have bactrian camels and yaks. That’ exotic pets. To top that, one need a yak-bison hybrid. Or a monkey. Or a chimpanzee and bonobo hybrid ... Yeah, I'm being silly.

Unrelated. Like three years ago I here I posted a video with climate scientist Johan Rockström. I remembered that since he just made the Times list of one hundred most influential people. The joke is it must have been the extra views on the video I gave to him by posting it, that made Rockstöm so influential. Or, more likely no one watched the video when I posted it.
