Goose Finds Cop and Leads Him to Her Trapped Baby

My house cat was often bullied by this other cat that visited just to fight him, once even damaging one of his eyes. One night, long ago, I decided to join my friend's side and swing a broomstick against the other cat as they fought clenched together. The other cat ran away for obvious reasons. My cat pursued him, stopped, turned to me with a "let's get him" nod, and after a pause he ran.

Where do we draw the line between antropomorphising actions and ascribing intelligence?

I hope we not only enhance humans in the future, but animals as well. The stuff of a sci-fi novel: cat cyborgs protesting for their voting rights, holding signs with opposable thumb augmentations.

There are a large number of geese that hang out and nest in The Fens[1] in Boston.

Normally they nest in the reeds close to the water, more or less out of the way of human foot traffic. A couple of years ago, I saw a pair of geese who made their nest in a small island of grass between two side-walks and a street near Northeastern University. While much more public, this nest had the advantage of humans leaving bowls of clean water (and maybe food) for the geese nesting there.

Silly goose is the only one who trusts cops.
