I should clarify, I do not stalk humans but when I see a cat or rabbit I like to try and sneak up on them just to see if I could survive when civilization collapses.

This i do find strange (not saying it isn't so), because by experience i have always been able to sneak up to cats... In fact it is pretty impressive, cause they seem utterly oblivious and then panic if i deliberately make a sound
If i was a predator they would have been dead.

Play with me.
Every breath you take, every move you make, every bond you break, every step you take, i'll be watching you.
Maybe they just don't consider you a predator, and therefore they're not worried.This i do find strange (not saying it isn't so), because by experience i have always been able to sneak up to cats...

I just whispered my cat's name, and her ear twitched in response. She didn't come, since it's not the tone I use to call her.
Mind you, she might not come anyway, since I yelled at her twice this morning - once for throwing up on the carpet and kitchen floor and once scratching one of my boxes (she has a perfectly good scratching post).

You can't sneak up on cats, they can feel the vibrations created by your footfalls. If you "snuck up" on a cat that just means it knows you ain't gon flex

But you are able to put cucumber behind them without their notice isn't that mean they were successfully get snuck up?

Lol but that might be what really happened though, the cat trust and let you to approach their back and put something behind their back. This is so interesting, I never see it this way

I was being tongue-in-cheek but I do think that is largely accurate. A cat that does not trust you will not let you get near it. If you don't believe me, try "sneaking up" on a stray cat that hasn't been socialized to be around people.
No one knows that until it is decided. It is why Shroediger's cat ended up dead in one scenario ^_^

TIL Sweden lets people to take 6 month off to start their own business, but if it doesn't work as plan, they can go back to their initial job.
if this is true, this is just amazing

Swedish companies are used to employees that are for a long time away before getting back their function and job:
Parental leave, paid by the government, is 480 days, whereby the parents decide how to divide that between them and how long they use it. Job security is guaranteed. On top a parent has the right to reduce thereafter his workweek with 25% (this 25% is not paid by the government).
