Zoltan HawrylukMy grandfather wrote a novel in Ukrainian a long time ago (maybe1930s) and never published it. It was given to me decades ago. My Ukrainian is not so good that I could read it with any clarity. After many failed attempts to try to get it translated over the years, I finally am starting to get somewhere by feeding it into Chat GPT. Though an imperfect translation, I can't wait to be able to finally read it.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ukraine</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ukrainian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ukrainian</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ai</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/machinetranslation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#machinetranslation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/chatgpt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chatgpt</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/chatgpt4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chatgpt4</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/unpublished" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unpublished</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/lostmedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lostmedia</a>

mk30Case study of medicinal plant use in cats, specifically my cat Tux:Abstract It was big news recently that an ape was observed using plant medicine. Headlines said it had never been seen before. But I see it with my cat Tux all the time. She prefers a particular kind of grass at our place to induce vomiting (if she's eaten something gross or off). She will sniff at various different kinds of grasses until she finds the one that will induce vomiting. The one she prefers will induce vomit within a few minutes of ingestion.Methods Observation of Tux over many years of us living together. I first noticed it by chance because I saw her sniffing different grasses until she found one she liked and ate it. She doesn't usually eat grass, so i just observed her. Shortly after eating grass, she was observed vomiting.Today I noticed that she only ate a small amount of her wet food (she normally loves it) and seemed kind of "off" all morning. Later in the morning I saw her sniffing various grasses and I figured she probably needed to barf. She found the type that she likes and started to chew. It's not very easy for her, so I ripped a piece off and helped her eat it (see video fig. 1 below). Attempts to offer her other types of grasses yielded no interest. About a minute later, she vomited.Results Cat vomit. Cat feels better after emptying the stomach of whatever was bothering her. I threw out the cat food that had apparently gone off.Conclusion Take what you want from these observations, but my conclusion is that Tux has a specific type of grass that she knows will induce vomiting, and she seeks it out specifically, while passing over other grass varieties that grow at our place.These observations were only possible because we live together and I have had the opportunity to study her behavior for many years in our shared environment. If more scientists lived in the forest & got to know their animal neighbors, they might have a better chance of catching observations like this in the future.<a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/animals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#animals</a> <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/AnimalBehavior" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AnimalBehavior</a> <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/CitizenScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CitizenScience</a> <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a> <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/unpublished" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unpublished</a> <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/cats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cats</a> <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/caturday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#caturday</a> <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/plants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plants</a>
