[Incidentally, this might partially explain that
'first 8 weeks to attach to humans' WRT kittens that
I've mentioned previously: "...In 1975, Brian Cragg
first documented a phase of rapid increase in
synapses, followed by a phase of synapse-elimination
in the visual area of the cat brains.8 In the cat,
some synapse formation occurs before birth, but Cragg
saw that there was a period of rapid synapse formation
from eight to 37 days following birth. He observed
peak synaptic densities at around the age of seven
weeks in kittens. There followed a protracted
"pruning" phase, during which synaptic densities and
related neural measures decreased to adult levels..."
So he is saying that Midnight started losing brain cells about the
time he came to live with me?

GOD. Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer and that
would be eliminated from schools too?"
