# I recently read Cat Watching by Desmond Morris


Fantastic. Questions/Answer format. Why do cats roll on their backs? Why do many black cats have a white patch? Every page a revelation. Every page another cute picture of a cat. This is a book designed to be read in small chunks, with the reader going 'Woo! Amazing fact! Woo! Cute picture!' It's publishing crack.

And also illustrated dog watching too.
They're great, although Furtive Bear watching is missing.

# yes
I like the bits like when a person passes someone in a crowd..

*) Women turn away to protect their breasts
*) Men turn towards to present their penises.

This has left me uncertain of how to behave in a crowd. Will turning away make me a lady? Will turning towards make me a rapist?

In order not to offend anyone, it is probably best to slowly rotate in all gatherings of five or more people, though be sure to change the direction of rotation every five minutes or so.
