Tiles drying in the sun get no respect from cats or dogs. These are in Utrecht, the Netherlands, DOMunder museum, though found in situ in the Roman fort, not after a journey around the world.
An ancient Roman terracotta tile with two clear pawprints baked into the clay, probably a cat's. An ancient Roman terracotta tile with a clear pawprint baked into the clay, probably a dog's.

En ze konden het niet snel genoeg afdekken.
Screenshot van een post met foto van de artiest Banksy op instagram. Op de foto is het Londonse gerechtshof te zien met op de muur een Banksy kunstwerk van een rechter met pruik die een op de grond op liggende persoon met protestbord met zijn rechters hamer bedreigt.

It's 24°C in here, but blanket is life for Freya. #ProofOfCat
Tortie cat rolled in black and white wool blanket. Only her face is visible, half black and half red with a straight line down her nose. Everything else including ears is buried between several layers of wool blanket. Her eyes are half open and staring in the distance, she is obviously very comfortable.

Freya too but she prefers a blanky hammock setup
Tortie cat lies in pretzel shape on a grey blanket. She is wedged in the hammock the blanket creates between my legs and she looks straight at the camera with yellow-green eyes.

The Rijksmuseum voor Oudheden in Leiden has one too. This one is called Gordon after a curly haired Dutch singer.

My tortie has a nose stripe like that too!
Tortie cat with a black and red divide over her nose and a tiny patch of white on her chest lying folded up on a grey blanket, looking straight into the camera.

Tortie cat curled up and snoozing on a black and white striped blanket. Her head is on her back paw, her tail curled over the other back paw. She has a distinct pattern on her face, half black and half orange with a straight divide down her nose. Tortie cat sitting in a box with a piece of grass mat on a wooden floor before a hearth. She has a distinct pattern on her face, half black and half orange with a straight divide down her nose. She makes a perfect loaf in the grass, no legs or feet in sight.

Yep, we have some of those too.
Pictures of an (electric) public transport bus. It is yellow and it is a double length one with a harmonica fold in the middle. It is parked at a bus station and has a folding arm on the top which is connected to a sort of gantry overhead, which is how it charges its batteries.

Freya the tortie #proofofcat
Freya the tortie hanging over the armrest of a couch, front legged stretched slightly forward. She had an expression on her face that suggests touching is not currently being encouraged. This is a false signal though, she loves her butt being scritched while hanging over the armrest like a tea towel. Freya the tortie sitting in a box of dried out grass, looking very sceptical at the camera. On the right side a hand can be seen using a brush on her back. The picture was taken by the car sitter, and the scepticism is because Freya is as yet unconvinced if being brushed outweighs being touched by this stranger.

My local station one evening a year ago or so. No filter, this picture is actually less colourful than the real sky was
Picture of a very pink sky behind a cityscape. In the foreground train tracks and a platform, in the background a modest skyline.

Not really into posting, but just to prove I am a real human, here is Freya presenting her two-tone beans. Proof of cat.
Tortie cat lying on bed grooming herself. Her back feeties are close to the camera and in focus. One feetie is diagonally divided in white and black. The beans in the white half are pink, those in the black half are black. One bean on the divide is half-and-half.

Tortie cat with a straight red/black divide of fur on her face sits in a box full of living grass, indoors. The grass is high enough to reach her chin. She is staring at nothing. There is clearly no one at home in that head. No thoughts, just grass.

Well, you are missing out on some prime entertainment. (Incidentally anyone else wonder why no one wants to employ her?)

Or perhaps whatever this guy is
A threads Post by one Matthew Smith stating: "Ok, I'll respond in your language: Men don't choose to ejaculate! Tyrannical women force them to by using their wiles and stuff, just so they can kill the baby afterward! Feel free to respond when you want to use rational arguments." The post is reposted by @designmom with the comment: "Matthew is demanding rational arguments after claiming women use "wiles and stuff" to force men to impregnate them, for the sole purpose of having an abortion."

I did a quick Google, and the first result is this. It might not have been that well known to the layman, but the industry knew.
Researchers first discovered the link between asbestos exposure and cancer in 1934. The warnings for this risk of cancer relative to asbestos would not come until 1942. A year later, the first mesothelioma-like tumor was reported in Germany. By 1949, asbestos is widely understood to be harmful.3 mrt 2022 https://www.waterskraus.com › hist...
