Seen here under extreme magnification, the purramecium is believed to be the smallest form of feline life. Its eight legs allow it to maneuver quickly in its marshy biome and swat at passing tardigrades.

I dunno…I have trouble with the idea of 8-legged things…
So I could have a home aquarium with millions of parameciums . Or is it parameciae?
Purramewciae.
I didn’t notice what spell check did. Sigh. Post loses its point.
paramecia or parameciums, apparently.
(Even though spellcheck doesn’t agree with that second one.)
Octop$ssy?
Ha! You’re not wrong.
Tardigrades are also known as Water Bear, cute name for something not so cute.
Oh, I dunno, but I do think they’d benefit from a pair of google eyes.
Allein, that’s way too much for me to handle today!
I was going to add “take it away, Allein!” But I figured I didn’t really need to.😁
hee hee 😘
Quite the illusion, I’m glad cats only have 4 legs . Can you imagine the zoomies if they actually had 8??
Plus 8x the whapping…..
And they’d need so many mittens for their murder mittens.
Imagine if they were polydactyls…
