One of the best things about cats is that you can annoy them a little without it becoming a whole thing, because being mildly irritating to each other is apparently part of cat friendship culture. Bothering™ is basically a love language. Watch two cats who genuinely like each other, and you’ll see them constantly engaging in various Bothering Activities™. They’ll pester each other, get in each other’s way, and start little fights for absolutely no reason. And somehow, that’s friendship.

My son and his wife sat down for their daughter's kindergarten conference. She's five. Loves dinosaurs and hates shoes. The teacher pulled out a folder. She told them their daughter was showing "early signs of perfectionism-related anxiety" because she erased her drawing three times before she was satisfied with it. My son's wife is a nurse. She didn't say anything. My son is his father's child, so he asked, calmly, what the drawing was of. The teacher said, "A horse." He said, "She erased it three times trying to get a horse right?"
