Your set up looks so homely and cosy!
Can I come round for tea later, bringing my country loaf cake and some kitty treats?!

Where I come from homely means ugly lol but I imagine it means something different to you

In British English it means "a simple but cozy and comfortable place"

u/peoplearepoems May 15 '21
In American English, many would use “homey” to mean cozy or comfortable. Just one little letter away.

They don’t have the same meanings in British versus American English, actually.

Didn't know that. That's pretty funny.

Well, you can be forgiven for not knowing, you are just hair of a celebrity, after all. I wouldn't expect Kirstie Alley or Kelsey Grammer's hair to be all that knowledgeable, either.

There is something quintessentially English about the Afternoon Tea in a bomely and cosy place, that brings you that "Home is where the Heart is" vibe.
You're right in a way, whilst homely for us isn't ugly, it is a place that has an old lived- in quality. It can even be a bit shabby, worn-down, faded, even slightly whiffy from a beloved pet.
Homely It is sitting in an old scuffed armchair, feeling yourself gently sinking into its old embrace, being handed a cup or mug of tea, exactly the way you've always like it. There are homemade biscuits on the table on an ancient floral, chipped plate and a loaf of Soreen squidgy cake, bought from the village shop.
As you sit there, hearing the ticking clock, the snuffling cat and the birds twittering outside, you feel this deep peacefulness embrace you like a soft, warm, slightly prickly blanket. You feel at one with your universe, for just a few hours
This is homely to a Brit.

this just sounds like being an old person to me. I'm a scot though, so maybe it's just English Brits :p

That's not possible. Cats have 19 chromosomes and down syndrome is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21.
Only great apes and mice are affected by a chromosomal abnormalities (somewhat) similar to down syndrome.
Down syndrome can occur in all human populations, and analogous effects have been found in other species, such as chimpanzees and mice. In 2005, researchers have been able to create transgenic mice with most of human chromosome 21 (in addition to their normal chromosomes).

Quote from the article you linked to:
"While it’s not possible for cats to have Down syndrome, they can exhibit Down syndrome-like symptoms."
So no, cats aren't affected by down syndrome.

Kittys expression looks like they know a secret about the cameraman or they just silently farted (SBD).

My cat also has this genetic anomaly! His right eye is half the size it should be so it sits just like that in his head

This is a karma bot account, and this isn't their cat. They lift photos of other people's cats to hoard karma.
