It's a good feeling to finally resolve the future of one's offspring!
Dyl, we always figured, would grow up successful at anything, but it was only in the past few hours that I decided Phoebe's future. She just doesn't know it yet.
I was reading an article about euphemisms that paired the words "Binocular Deprivation" with this sweet kitty.
Cracked writer Glenn Thompson noted the words called up a mental image of wanking while watching the girl next door, but that the research animals have their eyes sewn open, resulting in "physiologically gross abnormalities in the striate cortex."
I've read it dozen times, but I still can't conceptualize what it really means to our kitteh pal.
You could check out the Journal of Neuroscience article and explain it to me.
I concluded Phoebe has a future as the Cracked Photo Research Department Specialist in soft, fluffy-bunny images.
I wonder what sort of training she'll need?
Silly me! Here's what the article said about the study:
These findings suggest that some plasticity remains in the visual pathways for a longer time than indicated by experiments that examine the physiological effects of monocular deprivation on various visual cortical structures.
