Canoodle is to kiss and cuddle amorously....

No, that's something entirely different ;)

Yeah, the death squeals can be rather disturbing.
Your cat killed a squirrel, AND brought it in...?
Damn!

This post is at least a year old, this is Sanna Marin, the current PM of Finland, their next election will be held in April 2023

The dead ones are food, the live ones are toys, but I get why you'd object to that

Leshy is used as a prototype for the main character of Vladimir Vysotsky's song "Lukomorye", where leshy is depicted as an alcoholic that spends all his money on drinking and is abusive against his wife.[8]
Leshy appeared in Season 5 of Supernatural. Leshi started killing and feeding on more people after Sam and Dean started the Apocalypse. The creature wanted to fully feed himself and would do so by taking on the form of the idols of his victims and then feeding on them.
Leshy appears throughout The Witcher Saga by Andrzej Sapkowski and the world renowned The Witcher video game series.
Leshy is present in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game as both an ancestry for player characters, as well as an option for supernatural magical companions.

The Leshy is masculine and humanoid in shape, is able to assume any likeness and can change in size and height. He is sometimes portrayed with horns and surrounded by packs of wolves and bears. In some accounts, Leshy is described as having a wife (Leshachikha, Leszachka, Lesovikha and also, sometimes, the Kikimora of the swamp) and children (leshonki, leszonky). He is known by some to have a propensity to lead travelers astray and abduct children (which he shares with Chort, the "Black One"), which would lead some to believe he is an evil entity. He is, however, also known to have a more neutral disposition towards humans, dependent on the attitudes and behaviours of an individual person, or local population, towards the forest. Leshy could take children who were cursed by their relatives (in particular, parents) away to the forest people.
Some would therefore describe him as more of a temperamental being, like a fairy.

Yes, you did me a heckin' bamboozle

Oh, yeah smoke works too

Stack overflow?

That's a good one; it's mist

Locomotion through the seas can be arduous. Water is more viscous than air, and so underwater creatures must overcome strong frictional resistance as they swim.
.
To make things more difficult, liquid water provides nothing solid to push off against.
.
But lowly jellyfish, which have swum in the world’s oceans for half a billion years, have come up with an elegant, efficient means of propulsion.
.
Scientists have found that through their pulsing gelatinous undulations, at least one species of jellyfish creates vortices that rotate in opposite directions. Where flows of the two vortices meet, the collision creates a region when the water is stationary — in effect, creating a wall that the jellyfish use to push off.
