https://egscomics.com/comic/party-051 So one day Edward Verres brought home a kitten with hedgehog spines (the spiky hairs) and Tedd never bothered to ask from where it originated. If this was in Tedd's "Mute" phase, it probably was just one of many questions that simply didn't rise to the threshold of vocalization. And, as always for cats, if you actually want to be near the cat, the cat wants nothing to do with you.

Seems so. This would be good opportunity to expand what we already knew, but no. I'm not sure he would ask if NOT in mute phase. In fact, maybe he asked - and Edward didn't answered. Or said just DGB. I'm sure this happens often so Tedd is used to it. Meanwhile, Ashley didn't stopped staring at Jeremy and she moved to him quite fast. With predictable result. Seem she doesn't have much experience with cats.

I've found that squatting down and pointing finger at the cat will draw them in.

Look intently, straight at kitty, for just a second or two; then look away as if bored. Message: I see you and think I can trust you with my back turned.

It isn't so much the oxygen percentage, it's the oxygen partial pressure - i.e. how much air pressure oxygen is providing. Prior to Apollo 1, our manned space missions routinely used pure-oxygen environments - at partial pressures roughly equivalent to the oxygen content of the atmosphere at sea level. The Apollo 1 fire occurred in a test of whether the space capsule would keep the air in. So they pressured it to above one atmosphere... with pure oxygen. Under those conditions, practically everything is flammable and some things are extremely easy to ignite - a few things will even self-ignite, that won't under more normal conditions. The after-fire review asked two big questions that nobody had good answers for: why were they using pure oxygen for this test when ordinary air would have been fine, and what was the point of having the astronauts present for the test?

I definitely prefer 'free to be rude' to 'jackbooted into arresting and imprisoning/executing/sending to labour or extermination camps for Voicing The Wrong Opinion or an accident of birth'. Well, either that or his watch stopped.
