Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.
While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a crow it came up that she has never been sat on by a cat. Like, not even once during childhood.
Another colleague admitted they also have never been sat on by a cat.
My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on by a cat.

Have you ever been sat on by a cat?
Please boost for scientific accuracy.
We put out food for the local stray cats, and noticed that the crows were stealing it, so we put an awning over the cat food, and the crow that was looking forlornly at said awning this morning was friggin enormous, and probably wouldn't be at all bothered by being sat on.
OK, s/he probably would have complained, but s/he was at least 20 inches beak-to-tail and one handsome monster.
We're probably not supposed to feed the cats, but it is illegal here to feed crows.

A crow that big sounds like a raven.
The only bird with crow in the name here is the hoodie crow (a bicolour version of the carrion crow in GB, but now regarded as a separate crow). Plenty of birds in the crow family here: rook, jackdaw, magpie, hoodie crow & maybe occasional Chough visitor (only this part of Ireland). There ravens here too, somewhere, but I've not seen them up close to be sure they are ravens.
We don't get the carrion crow,

The crows here are nervous flighty things and are usually gone before I get even close to a window. My longest lens is 75mm, so it's pretty hopeless.
