I'm no expert, but cast iron becomes naturally non-stick if you "season it"

Considering how many teflon pans I've ruined (and how toxic the precursor to teflon are) I'm planning to either go cast iron or try one of those enameled ones. I just need to find the right size and weight. My cast iron skillet feels a bit too small and is already ridiculously heavy.

I seem to have read about that famous woman who spend decades with gorillas(?) and taught them sign language. Some claim it all was her bias towards wanting to understand etc

I've also seen the sound board things with dogs and cats and it's intriguing, especially when a cat apparently realizes it's raining and presses something like "stupid" "weather", but it's not like it's scientifically proved in a controlled environment, of course.

My cat would lead me to where he wanted to go, mostly to open doors so he could patrol his areas inside or outside. He'd also want to play by seemingly starting to look actively for invisible preys before I would present a toy he'd attack. Very easy to read at times, but he never told me about my car's extended warranty.
