I'm going to take a brief side trip away from the world of cats, because I love talking about these little guys almost as much lol
I have three Marimo balls, which are a form of algae. I was introduced to them when I got back into having betta fish a year or so ago, as they are now frequently suggested as something to add to a betta tank to help manage the water parameters.
However, Marimo prefer cooler temperatures than betta. Although some people don't find that there's a problem, in my case the Marimo didn't like being in the tank so I moved them to their own vase. I was delighted to see that (especially after a water change) they like the vase environment enough that they are behaving naturally, by which I mean that at least two of them are rising to the surface of the water, then sinking, rising, sinking...
I know at least one person who thinks they are an animal. Do you think Marimo balls are closer to being a plant, or closer to an animal?
