Ounce is the traditional name for the snow leopard. Although not really in common use anymore it is still an acceptable alternative name for the species.
I assume since “snow leopard” wouldn’t have fitted into the space it made sense for the person who made it to use ounce instead.
‘hanging out’ means not talking to each other in the same room
This is part of why people want the autistic symbol to be cats instead of the puzzle piece, if you didn’t know already @biggest-gaudiest-patronuses, because that’s a mood for most of us lol. Like, so many parallels.
i did NOT know, tell me more
Okay, so here’s the gist of it from what I can remember off the top of my head, and other folks feel free to contribute!
Cats are like us because they:
Experience sensory overload (not sure about underload)
Communicate in ways that folks (who only know about dogs usually) don’t understand and think is them being assholes
Have really subtle body language
Really do think existing in the same room with you both doing your own thing is hanging out
Get misunderstood and have a bad rap, even though they’re just trying to exist
Probably a hell of a lot more, but it’s almost 1 am and I need sleep
