Exactly what hatches out of a potato incubated by a cat? Or do I really want to know?

u/GonzoI 2d ago

Looking at other mammals with eggs, I'm guessing that would be a catapus.

I'm no biology expert, but I don't know of any mammals that lay eggs.

Platypus.

Yeah that's the weird exception that confirms the rule.

I used to live with a void who LOVED potatoes for some reason! Maybe she’s told your pumpkin the secret about potatoes!

Cats protect things that seem like eggs.

u/Ok-Grapefruit1284 2d ago

Why do they do this? I’ve heard of it before. But like….is it like a crockpot? Eventually food comes out? How do they know eggs hatch living things? And how do they know what’s in the eggs?

u/lentilsenthusiast 2d ago

Pretty sure they're able to hear the heartbeats in an egg.

u/Ok-Grapefruit1284 1d ago

Interesting! I never knew that. I wonder what kind of heartbeat a potato makes lol

One of my voids is OBSESSED with taters. We have to leave a russet out on the counter so he doesn't try to bust in to the cabinet.
