Cats are winking at us, and we don't realize it.
The internet recalled a study in which scientists proved that a cat's slow blinking is nothing but a trusting smile on their part. This life hack works both ways: if you want to approach a street or house cat, you should just narrow your eyes and blink slowly.

Doctor Wanted in Australia
In Australia, a doctor is needed with an annual salary of $428,000, along with free accommodation and a car.
