No, I won't be linking these two topics. I'll just talk about one, then the other.

I gave my cat toy mice to play with. She absolutely loves them. They do not contain cat nip. They are made of plain plastic and fake fur. She can smell them. If I put one in my pocket, she can smell it if she gets close enough.

I was quite surprised by the furry one (the living one, not the mice) this morning. Yesterday, I had put one of her toy mice in my pajama pants just for the pleasure of watching her smell it and retrieve it (I wasn't wearing the pants). This morning, the mouse wasn't in my pocket anymore. She jumped onto my bed and started mewing. Then her head was near the famous pocket. She smelled it. She knew there was a mouse in there, or there had been one recently. I never thought she could smell those mice even after they had been gone for hours!

On a completely different note: the Facebook news feed. If you use Facebook, you've surely noticed it. As far as I can tell, it basically doesn't filter anything, unless you tell it to. It shows you everything that appeared on friends' walls. I didn't mind, until the weekend came, and a particular friend found himself with lots of times on his hand. Lots of time which, naturally, he devoted to one of those applications I really don't give a shit about.

And this is only a part of all those damn things. And if I click the X that appears on hover, it doesn't just delete the story, it blocks this person from my news feed. Then again, it's not like I care about him enough to be sorry if he doesn't show up on there.
