A senior cat who hissed at the first person who tried to help her and had to be caught in a trap turned out to have more to say than anyone expected once someone finally stopped to listen. LilithCredit: Angela Smith SchwartzNobody knew how long she had been outside. Nobody knows where she came from or how she ended up there. What is known is that she is at least ten years old, which means that wherever her story began, a good portion of it was lived before anyone found her. A decade is a long time to go without a record.What she looked like when Angela, a foster with Good Karma Pet Rescue out of South Florida, first came across her filled in some of the blanks. Lilith was covered in flea bites, her skin raw from a flea allergy that had been tormenting her for who knows how long. She was not a cat who had been on the streets for a few weeks. She was a cat who had been managing.When Angela walked over to say hello, Lilith hissed. So Angela left a humane trap, and Lilith has been with her ever since. However, it had also clearly not always been her life. Credit: Angela Smith SchwartzOnce Lilith came indoors and the fleas were gone, something unlocked. "She blossomed into a beautiful fluffy girl with incredibly long whiskers," Angela shared with LoveMeow. "She is confident and at ease, and has clearly been an indoor pet before she was abandoned."Everything about her says she knew what a home once was. The way she settled in, the way she moved through a space, the way she decided the furniture belonged to her. Lilith did not need to learn how to be a house cat. She remembered. Credit: Angela Smith SchwartzLilith takes a daily medication for a thyroid condition, which she has made clear is not a problem. The moment it goes into her food, it disappears. Mealtimes are, without question, the highlight of her day, and she is not remotely subtle about it.When Lilith is relaxed and happy, she will fling a toy clear across the room and chase it like a kitten. Angela laughs watching her do it. Credit: Angela Smith SchwartzLilith has opinions. She has preferences. She has a great deal to say and will say all of it the moment Angela comes through the door after work, talking the whole way down the hall as though she has been saving it up. "Lilith runs to greet her foster mom as soon as she comes home from work," Angela shared, "and is very chatty."At least ten years old, and no one has managed to convince her this is relevant information. Credit: Angela Smith SchwartzCurrently in a foster home with many other cats, Lilith has made abundantly clear she does not consider this an ideal arrangement. She knows exactly who she is, and she is not interested in negotiating her space with anyone."She's an older lady," Angela shared, "and she's looking for an understanding home that will let her live on her own terms, in peace." Credit: Angela Smith SchwartzAs anyone can plainly see, Lilith is also beautiful. Angela's advice on that front is direct: admire her with your eyes. Lilith appreciates her admirers from a respectful distance and will let you know, in her own time, when she is ready for more.She also has quite a lot to say about the paper bag situation, for the record. Credit: Angela Smith SchwartzThe right person for Lilith is someone who finds all of this delightful rather than complicated. Someone who wants a cat with opinions, a cat who greets them at the door with something to report, a cat who will make them laugh at dinner and then retire to her preferred spot with great dignity.She has earned every bit of that dignity. Credit: Angela Smith SchwartzLilith spent years outside, unwell and unclaimed. Angela took her in, gave her time, and watched her remember who she was. That work is done now.What comes next is someone who chooses her on purpose. Credit: Angela Smith SchwartzShe will most certainly run to meet them at the door.

Nearly 2,000 years ago, Mount Vesuvius buried a vast collection of scrolls in ash and scorched them into solid black lumps. Now, without unrolling them, researchers have virtually read two of them and uncovered what may be a work by a well-known Stoic philosopher. The breakthrough comes from the Vesuvius Challenge, an international research effort to digitally read the scrolls that were preserved when Pompeii and Herculaneum were buried by ash and pumice in A.D. 79. Papyrologists, who study and preserve the ancient manuscripts, announced June 25 that they had digitally unwrapped the surviving portion of one scroll, known as PHerc. 1667, revealing roughly 5 feet (1.5 meters) of continuous Greek text across 20 columns. Researchers also recovered more than 70 columns of text from a second scroll, PHerc. 172. "For nearly two millennia, many of these texts have been physically preserved but intellectually inaccessible," Brent Seales, Vesuvius Challenge co-founder and a computer scientist at the University of Kentucky, said in a statement. "Today after years of interdisciplinary work combining advanced imaging, artificial intelligence, academic research and an innovation contest we are finally able to read them." Over the past few years, Seales and his team have used a synchrotron to essentially X-ray inside the scrolls and detect the ink ancient Romans used to write. The letters are then studied by papyrologists, who translate the text.Part of PHerc. 1667 was physically opened in the 1980s, but overlapping layers obscured the writing so badly that the scroll was given a readability score of zero, Federica Nicolardi, a papyrologist at the University of Naples Federico II, said in the statement. The handwriting and text of PHerc. 1667 suggest the scroll dates to the second or third century B.C., making it one of the oldest scrolls in the Herculaneum collection. This early date means it could not have been authored by Philodemus of Gadara, the first-century-B.C. Epicurean philosopher whose writings dominated the Herculaneum library. Experts think the text reads more like a Stoic treatise on ethics and human behavior, and it specifically mentions Aristocreon, the nephew and pupil of the influential Stoic philosopher Chrysippus. Very little of Chrysippus' own writing has survived, so if the attribution holds up, it would be a significant addition to the historical record of early Stoic thought.

The end of the scroll references Philodemus' eighth book of "On Gods." While this treatise had previously been known to exist, the new discovery reveals the work extended across at least eight volumes. Experts plan to reexamine other texts in the Herculaneum collection for additional volumes that may belong to the same series.More than 600 Herculaneum scrolls remain unopened.
