There's a litter box right next to the bed. It isn't that. She routinely uses the litter box. The only other place she'll go is on the bed. She's marking.

Exactly. We currently have 6 cats and there are several places around the house where we know marking happens. For example, we leave lots of bottles of cleaning products on the worktops in the utility room, rather than store them in cupboards, simply so one of the cats has no space to jump up and mark the power sockets tripping the circuit breaker!

That's a lot of cats to manage.

I love that cat owners attribute cat behaviour to some ancient, unconscious and irresistable drive passed down, DNA strand by DNA strand, through each generation. Instead of the calculated and deliberate actions they are.

My experience with a succession of 180 foster cats and kittens says that the kittens cannot be trusted without direct supervision β to grab one and run for the litter box when it started hunting.
Ours were kept in a smaller room overnight, until they proved themselves and could graduate to the nearby kitchen.
(We did much the same thing for puppy training, except the small overnight space was a box beside the bed.)

This is the interwebz and we need cat pictures.

It's the 10% that's annoying, and lacking a door on the bedroom, when I'm not myself in the bed, I have to cover the bed with things cats don't like to pee on. It works, but it's an annoying additional task when making the bed every morning.

Girls can be ginger but only if both parents carry the gene.

[^]Quote: What book most shaped your conception of the future?
Virginia Postrelβs βThe Future and Its Enemies.β
She almost perfectly laid out what battles about the future of technological progress and technology, in general, would look like. She identified two camps of thinking about the future, βdynamistsβ and βstasists.β The stasis mindset defends the status quo, and values the present, or a particular potential future, and is willing to utilize certain legal or social instruments to try to hold the status quo in place. Whereas the dynamists are willing to embrace an uncertain, messy future where there are a lot of unknowns.
This is now playing out in the AI wars, in a huge way. At the Brookings event I was just debating people who were very concerned about what the future might hold, but unable to show conclusively how their fears might happen. They were saying, based on a hypothetical, worst-case scenario, we should freeze progress in certain ways, or at least regulate it very aggressively. I'm more of the mind that we should take every day as it comes and allow trial and error to work its magic. This book laid all this out, at a time when the internet was just being born attributed to some abyss in the mind of bill:
"in the dark valley,
software knows us more than we
know we know ourselves"
Β«The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindledΒ» Plutarch

"Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." Nietzsche

And reality is somewhere in the middle, appropriate to the specific context.

An always relevant quote about the apocalypse is REM's "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)".
A better way to look at the AI wars is to view it as our oligarchs trying to figure out ways to monetize it -vs- the geeks who like playing with it for the technology itself. (And the general population, some scared, some not.)
