My pair of voids are great alarm clocks. Step one, wake me up, get in my face, demand a half-hour snuggle in my arms. Step two, cuddle time is done & we want feeding NOW. NOW. NOW. It's actually the best way to wake up.
If cat would stop time, you wouldn't notice. Even if it was an eternity moment. And frankly, it wouldn't matter anyway. Dude I get some existential crisis while making a casual comment.
Yep. That would be why. Some pets don't care about an hour time change, or three hours, those are the ones that only eat when they're hungry. Food motivated pets care A LOT. Ferals tend to be very food motivated, because most of them know what starvation feels like.
Can this meme that people are blindly accepting as factual finally die? Orange cats are not even a different breed and there is not even a hint of evidence that they are less intelligent than other cats.
my very food motivated cat Haku has been teaching me that he has a very precise inner clock, making me reevalute how much adhd screws with my own time perception (read this as: not having any). So it was really interesting to see how his demand for food would shift slowly over weeks before the clocks change. By pretty much exactly 1hour eventually ofc
Since the two areas of the brain affected the most by ADHD are about priorisation and short term memory, both of which are kinda important to have a sense of time. So for people that fall on the extreme side of this, like me, they have to either conciously keep track of it (until you forget about it) or externalise it (get used to check the clock every x minutes).
Yeah, I tried that as well. I was obsessively looking at my watch all the time. I knew the numbers for every little thing before I was seven, but it didn't change anything about not being able to perceive time properly. It would have helped if anyone had noticed the countless signs for ADHD (and other things) when I was little, because I was only diagnoses decades later and much to my surprise. My parents have always been seeing everything as character flaws, starting when I was a toddler.

My cats didn’t notice… oh wait! Arizona doesn’t follow that BS

My tuxedo also struggled with Daylight Saving Time ending.

Why don’t you even have this farmers have night vision and their trucks are on GPS so they do straight lines always
AbeHamTraveler
Why not keep the feeding time the same? Why force this concept on animals?

I have been trying to split the time. It's not working.

She knows what time it is. Your clock is wrong.

Of course, they don't like daylight savings time, dinner is now an hour late.
meganical
Oh, I kept it the same for the feral cats; I changed the breakfast time though. Maybe that’s why the one keeps yelling at me these days
IgnisInvictus

During the 6 weeks before change, I move out their feed time by 10 minutes, then when the clocks change, they are on the right time.

That requires a level of foresight I do not have.

See your problem is that he is orange, and it's not his turn with the braincell

poscduke
Are you suggesting that an internet joke ombased upon cat derpiness isn't scientifically accurate? Because shocked Pikachu face
DdCno1
My problem is that it's not seen as a joke anymore. People are genuinely believing it to be true.

Our cats eat when they want. Sometimes I argue with the fat one.

Wait, are you telling me that ADHD has an impact on time perception?
dreikommavierzehn
Yes.
Since the two areas of the brain affected the most by ADHD are about priorisation and short term memory, both of which are kinda important to have a sense of time.

Good to know, thanks. As a kid, I tried to teach myself time perception by having my watch beep every hour. It didn't work, of course.
dreikommavierzehn
That was a great idea. It is one example of externalisation. Could imagine using that to learn how many beeps certain regularly occurring tasks take
DdCno1
