8. Cats Having a Chat

Here are two cats having a little conversation about something, which could just be making fun of humans or just expressing affection for one another…or planning to act cute and get treats. We don’t presume to understand cat chat. Clearly, though, they’re talking to each other about something!

(The poster of the video has said that Mossy is on the right, while Stina is the cat on the left. Both are female, and they were about 10 years old at the time of recording, which was in 2007. Ah, the early days of YouTube. Here’s what the site looked like on the exact day this video was uploaded.)

The debates, meanwhile, proved that Trump does not seem to have this skill. By Vox’s counts, he interrupted his opponent 51 times at the first debate; 18 times at the second; and then, to close it out, an additional 37 times at the final debate. That totals up to 106 interruptions.

That does not include his interrupting the moderators, either, by the way. That would add on even more interruptions. (Just in the third debate, he interrupted moderator Chris Wallace 25 times.)

In other words, these cats know enough to not really interrupt each other while the other is talking. How nice!
