Dang. Invidious seems cool but it fails to load because it thinks I'm a bot.

No cat videos for me, I guess

The botcheck (Goaway) has a high false-positive rate. Just try to open the link again (not reloading the page).

I've opened it 3 times. The botcheck is worthless.

Wow. Yes, it can be anoying. But luckily there are other Invidious instances:

That's better, thank you — such an adorable little murderer.

Are you sure you're not actually a bot? Get out of here, clanker!!!

Confusing. It happened to me too. I'm just using a standard mobile browser and no VPN or anything.

It has a high success rate in hunts. About 60% was the number I recall.

Yeah, I think that is right, insane cute kitty :3

We're the ones actually being domesticated!!!!!

Attempts to domesticate small wildcats other than F. cattus have failed: being both territorial predators and prey, they tend to be aggressively paranoid creatures. Having said that, who’s to say this wouldn’t be the second successfully domesticated felid species?

"Fuck off I don't like you, I'm happy out here, it's where the birds are"

Edit: A counterpoint, Matt Damon told an entertaining story about adopting a small cat that they found more or less in the jungle during a vacation, pretty injured but generally fighting to survive. She hung around and ate the food they gave her for a couple of weeks and they decided we have a cat now.

He thought that they would take her home, get her veterinary care, and she would become a little jungle-cat terror of the neighborhood, but he said that once they got her home she literally never went outside again.

We have a cat like that. Spent the first 2 years of her life outside, and 13 years later she still has no desire to leave the house.

Everything I've heard from my family, who grew up on a farm in the Chilean southern zone, they're pretty aggressive little guys. I think they're super cute, especially the melanistic ones, but pretty wild too.
