Tip: you can use the WhatsApp web site for text messaging (I don’t think it works for audio/video?) and if you want to use it in a standalone window you can “install” it as a web app (in most browsers). It’ll use way less RAM running in your existing browser than running a separate electron instance.

No, catios are pretty common in Australia, but a lot of people do just let their cats roam outside too (at least here in NSW). I’m not sure why this was news, maybe because it’s quite elaborate, or they just needed more cute cat content.
