Pish posh, everyone knows the proper way to suffocate kittens is a burlap sack filled with rocks and thrown in the river!
Didn’t your alcoholic grand-pappy teach you anything?

“While your parents are sleeping, stab one repeatedly in the neck and chest. Now wait until morning. See that red juice? You’ll find that Mommy needs all that red juice to survive. That red juice is called, “blood”, and living Mommies use that to walk, talk and hug their children. Dead mommies just lie there, because they don’t have blood anymore.”
I’m not even sure what’s creepier

I haven’t checked. Was this book written by former Senate leader Bill Frist?

At least we know Trump didn’t have a hand in it. It could have started with “Grab two pussies…” and gone downhill from there.

I hate to say it, but this is actually a great example of the scientific method. And a subtle Schrödinger reference, to boot.

More importantly, “no living thing can live without air for more than a few minutes” is wildly incorrect.

Interesting aside about Schrödinger: his notorious thought experiment, which he first devised in an epistolary exchange with Einstein, was meant not to suggest that the cat is actually in a superposition before the the box is opened, but that the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics had absurd implications for macroscopic objects, because it was theoretically unlikely, but not strictly impossible, for an entangled state to lead to felis indeterminus.
Of course as someone who works in a industry that would be glad to get a few dozen elementary particles to avoid decohering for a few nanoseconds, supercat’s rather academic. But it’s the thought that counts!

…for example obtain suitable tissue and clone 40 great cats for poaching replenishment and 6 for your experiment; monitor the cats’ health and cut it out if and when you see you’re hurting them if you withhold fresh air. Then make aquatic cats with whale DNA and see how long they submerge. Oh, look what you’ve done…
Here is how to make fresh air with low particulates, which land organisms once breathed in some abundance…you like that?

I read similar stories multiple times when I was young. Farmers learn quickly not to get too sentimental about non-human animals.

That’s a pretty complicated way to deal with a feral cat problem.

This is an excellent textbook. The child will certainly learn a lesson they’ll never forget.
