When we got another cat - a kitten just a few months old - she at first didn't seem all too perturbed by the vacuum, and I (naively) hoped she'd stay blasรฉ about it.
Unfortunately our older cat quickly taught her to fear it, just like she does.
So then we had two cats flying around in panic ๐

"Waaaait a minute there's no lion there's A MORTGAGE, WE SOLVED NOTHING AT THE GYM!!"
But it's nice while it lasts.

Have you noticed that the anxiety decreases significantly at the gym, at least temporarily? I figure it's because brains are optimized for a hunter-gatherer lifestyle and associate physical exertion with problem solving.
"Oh, we're running away from the lion! Solving our problems! Awesome!"

Come to think of it, I usually do vibe cooking with a glass of wine (or, my go-to vibe cooking tool, a negroni)...
...So maybe I should do that while vibe *coding* too? Maybe the results would be even better? ๐ค

My personal theory is that they were introverts who ended up going further and further north to get away from the crowds.
That would explain a lot, after all...
