Pet intelligence wank
The Guardian: Cats outsmarted in psychologist's test.

You can imagine how well this goes with the readers. Besides the predictable flood of pet owner butthurt and anecdotes of clever / stupid cats / dogs / mice / owls, there are plenty of genuinely funny comments as well as a side wank on the validity of test methods and statistics, obligatory calls to talk about world hunger instead or discuss the intelligence of various nationalities, and, naturally, Hitler and his pets make a bonus appearance. I think one could play classical wank bingo in here, but some of the stories make it all worthwhile.

she put a string under a thing. That makes it mind-blowingly interesting, no matter what might be attached to the other end.

This FTW. We have six cats and none of them can resist a string/pen/finger/whatever under something else (in this house especially under newspaper, OMG).

Zoe, Queen of the Cats in This House remarked casually to me after reading the artile that it was a Very Good Thing that the Scientist lived so far away.

	Feet. Under the bedclothes. Every. Single. Night. The dog is tired of being woken up by me being woken up by the cat and has taken to preemptively growling at him, waking me up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
