A Comparative Analysis of Cats and Sourdough (this is what I did this week)

Inspired by diagrams, I present you with my thoughts from the week, brought to you with the help of the brilliant Toby Hammer.

This is serious science.

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF felis catus WITH A COLLECTION OF S. cerevisiea AND lactobacilli (SOURDOUGH STARTER):

CATS:

• meow/purr
• have fur/hair
• will bite your face
• walks
• has legs, eyes, etc.
• is corporeal
• carnivorous
• not man-made (kind of)

SOURDOUGH STARTER:

• bubbles
• is in a liquid state
• has high yeast content
• makes bread
• culturally acceptable to be eaten
• vegetarian
• man-made

BOTH:

• need feeding
• produce happiness in owners
• are shades of beige (depending)
• contain water and carbohydrates
• require attention but are overall very independent
• can smell a bit funny (but sometimes in a good way)
• apathetic about owner’s well-being
• digest, respirate, and produce waste
• require oxygen
• can take shape of any container

CONCLUSION: THERE ARE MORE SIMILARITIES THAN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CATS AND SOURDOUGH STARTER
