Did you know that a physicist once made his cat the co-author of his paper because he'd accidentally written "we" instead of "I" throughout his work and couldn't be bothered to change it? Also, believe it or not, the British Government has a position called "Chief Mouser To The Cabinet Office" that can only be assigned to a cat. And although this may not surprise you, a study once proved that cats are more than capable of recognizing their owner's voices, but simply choose to ignore it.

I'm sure the now two year old is fine. And the cat doesn't really have a home, she's a 'community cat', a whole block takes care of her. http://www.lovemeow.com/masha-the-cat-saves-abandoned-baby-by-keeping-him-warm-for-hours-1608411808.html

    That's excellent to know. This is why my mom always wants at least 10 or so cats on their farm even though some aren't that crazy about them. As long as they have around a dozen cats you never see a rat, a mouse or a snake on the place. That is EXTREMELY unusual for most farms. They supplement their feed with regular cat food and extras but don't stuff them so they want to hunt. Most people don't know a cat is NOT born wanting to hunt mice or anything. A mama cat MUST teach her kittens to hunt if they are to catch mice. Otherwise, a cat will only play with a mouse. Cats and mice can be raised to be best friends if begun when very young. You cannot go to a pound and just get a dozen cats and expect mousers. They must be "born into" the job. If you want a good mouser get kittens from a mother cat who herself is an excellent mouser. It's not natural, like a dog. Ever see young pointer puppies, they do it naturally without being taught a thing. Cats are not like this.

    And they also need to report those people to the local authorities, who should wait a couple of weeks and go to your house to see if you ended up adopting a cat. If you only every tried to adopt a black cat right before Halloween, and you didn't own a cat afterwards, and you never showed an inclination to own a cat later, you need seriously to go on some kind of watch list.

I can't find any reference to brown cats other than Havana Browns, but they are half Siamese and our bruisers are clearly not related to Siamese.

    In 1910 airman Walter Wellman and five companions attempted to cross the Atlantic Ocean in the airship America. He was also accompanied by his cat Kiddo. Unfortunately once they were underway Kiddo decided he was not so fond of flying and started causing trouble by meowing, crying and running around ‘like a squirrel in a cage.’ The airship America was the first aircraft to be carry radio equipment and the first engineer, Melvin Vaniman, was so annoyed by the antics of Kiddo that he was moved to make the first in-flight radio transmission to a secretary back on land. http://aviationhumor.net/roy-come-and-get-this-goddamn-cat-was-the-first-ever-in-flight-radio-transmission/

    A lot of times there is a spike in body temperature when someone is nearing the end. This type of phenomenon is not uncommon. And cats, ever seeking the warmest spot, tend to curl up on these extra warm humans.

    Thanks for this. That's exactly the reason, and she's not the only cat that's been observed doing this.

    The actual reason behind this is that cats and dogs can identify several smells from the body that we may not be able to consciously smell ourselves. Particular smells indicate that the body is failing a couple of days before we die of natural causes. Oscar may have learnt to associate the staff movements, the smell and the removal of the deceased from that room.

    I'm not surprised. As a hospice home health aide, I saw family pets suddenly change their routines right before my patients died - either staying with my patient when they hadn't been, or not wanting to be anywhere around when they'd been parked under their hospital bed for weeks.

    My cat who was hearing, never meowed, because I raised her as a CODA - (cat of deaf adults) - she only knew sign language. I never knew this because I always saw her mouth open to meow at me for whatever reason. It wasn't until much later that a hearing friend commented of how funny that she never made sounds. I was astonished. How funny, she truly mimicked me in many ways!

    I had a cat who would respond to questions we'd ask. If I asked if he wanted some canned food, he'd mrow back with a pitch the rose at the end. If I asked him if he wanted to go to the the vet, his head would drop, he'd look down, and his mrow was quieter, lower pitched and and sounded sad. We'd chat every day, my asking him things that needed a yes/no answer that I was pretty sure what his answer would be, and then watching his response closely. He would do the things he didn't want to do, like take his medicine (he had heart, blood pressure, and kidney problems in his last few years), but he he made it clear he wasn't overjoyed about it. Getting his morning and evening canned food meals immediately after taking his meds made having to take pills twice a day a lot less awful.

    It's not that they "predict" events, but they use their amazingly acute senses to detect things that they interpret as dangerous. Perhaps the ship was damaged or impaired in some way that would cause it to fail, and Emmy was aware of this. Cats “predict” earthquakes and storms by picking up vibrations and atmospheric changes that we are not sensitive enough to detect. I always check out when my cats and dogs seem to be bothered by something – they are sensing things that could save all of our lives.

    Feral and barn cats often eat the stomach and intestine of their prey (I've witnessed this); they get nutrients that way. Regarding water, this contradicts veterinary science. Vets stress that cats need fresh water daily.

    "Can" being the operative word here. They do get high blood pressure, heart disease, and renal failure - every organ problem we can get, they can get - for the same reason. They are obligate meat eaters - because their bodies can't make taurine like most animals can, and they get it from eating muscle meat. If they don't get meat - and taurine - their hearts get flabby (lose muscle tone) and they go into heart failure.

    Kaelie Cochran Engelhart

    Not strictly true. Cats are obligate carnivores and their ancestors were native to deserts. A cat's natural diet is mice/small rodents that actually provide all the liquid needed, requiring kitty to drink little or no additional water.

    Put a treat right on the edge (best a corner) of a table so the cat can reach it when streching. As the cat can use equally both paws in that situation, it will choose his "good paw" to get the treat... At least that's how I realized my (male) cat Wassja was a leftie.

    I can vouch for boys being left-pawed. If the dog gets too frisky they will stand like a bear and box his nose. Much like an Ali tactic. Left, right, left, left.

    I had a feral deaf white cat, that I rescued of the streets. He ended up learning about 7-8 signs (made simple "cat sign language) in the two years I had him, before he tragically died after being attacked by a dog. I still laugh when I think about how nuts he went, if I signed the word "tuna"' lol. God I loved that little bugger <3

    Ahhhmmm When fact mashups occur. A fact-crash. The slit style pupil allows 2 extremes or pupil size with fast transition: super heightened depth perception/accuracy in daylight (slits) and clear vision in the dark (dilated). Which is why cat pirates don't actually need eye patches.

She is the surprise of darkness, the silkiness of water, she is the black cat, making her way, to my brightly lit door, home at last, time for dinner. She leaves my surprise outside, for later.

    This is actually false. Saying that all cats are lactose intolerant is like saying all humans are lactose intolerant. Some cats can not and should drink milk, other cats will drink milk just fine. Should it still be done in moderation? Absolutely. Too much milk will still upset their stomachs, but a saucer of milk isn't going to make most cats sick. I work at a shelter, and closely with three vets, and everyone has realized the same thing. But, better to give off old knowledge then learn something newer.

    It is better to err on the side of caution though. I'm lactose intolerant. It is painful and unpleasant when I have too much dairy. I wouldn't wish that on my kitties. A little to see how they digest it and some once in a whole if it goes well is the smart move.

    I have a female maine c**n that is extremely lactose intolerant. Give her just a tablespoon of milk and she becomes noxiously gassy. But she can handle butter. She comes running for her tiny bit of butter whenever she hears the lid to the butter dish removed.

    They also make kitty milk and kitten milk, if you feel you need to treat them to a bit of "milk". At least that won't make them puke.

    There have been at least 4 since 1902; Mexican Hairless Cat (aztec), Oregon Rex, Pittsburgh Refrigerator Cat (eskimo cat), Sumxu-my daughter did a uni project on this a few years ago. Admittedly the last one is thought to be something of a myth or legend but there are paintings of it and references in ancient literature.

    The Barbary Lion (also known as the Atlas Lion) Latin named Panthera leo leo - a sub-species of the African Lion was declared extinct in 1942 however, unconfirmed sightings were reported up until 1970. The Caspian Tiger (Panthera tigris virgata) became extinct in 1970. The Eastern Cougar (Puma concolor couguar) became extinct in 2011 while the Formosan Clouded Leopard (Neofelis nebulosa brachyura) became extinct in 2013. These wera all subspecies of cats. No entire species of cats has become extinct in at least the last 300 years. The "Tasmanian Tiger" or Thylacine on the other hand, has become extinct and is a species unto itself... but while it was called a "Tiger" it was not a cat... t was in fact the largest carnivorous marsupial... more akin to being a meat-eating Kangaroo than a cat - even though it walked on all fours instead of upright, and looked more like a Tiger than a Kangaroo ;)

    They lick themselves to get ALL scents off -- it's not that they are offended by your personal BO. Like other stealth predators, keeping their scent neutral makes it harder for their prey to detect them by smell.

    Not entirely true.. Cats do have some sweat glands, but their skin is covered in fur, so this minimizes the amount of cooling the sweat can provide. The paw pads have the most sweat glands. ... Only extremely heat-stressed cats will pant, so if your cat is panting, you need to be concerned that she is too hot.

    They were bred with other breeds and some of the breeding resulted in skeletal anomalies that can be common to the breed. They were bred with Persians for a number of years but now that pairing is banned in association registered breeding. I had 2 folds... one that folded, one that didn't. The one with folded ears had a fused tail, misshapen feet (that required declawing), missing sternum, malformed internal head cavities (resulting in labored breathing and snorting)... that tiny little thing never grew bigger than 3 pounds, never wanted to be held (if you had no sternum, you'll probably complain if someone kept picking up you), and shorted her way through 14 years of life, outliving her non-folded brother. She loved to chase the laser pointer and her purr was insanely loud. She was adorable but her lineage included Persian 4 generations back. Her brother, on the other hand, great huge, sat like a Buddha most of the time, and you could coil his tail around your finger.

    Yep ....mine too! She gets her canned food at 4:00 pm but when it comes to her dry food, if it is left in the dish sh won't eat it. I have to give her little bits of dry at a time because she likes it fresh from the container. Go figure!

    Mine prefers chilled food. He's snubs it when it's room temperature. He won't not eat it, but he certainly complains a lot more when it's not chilled.

    In the winter, we used to zap the food for a few seconds to take the chill off! Spoiled? Sure! Bit better than wasting food they wouldn't eat due to temperature!

    If the biting cat is your housecat that never goes out, the likelihood that it harbors clostridium tetani is very low. However, giving a "tetanus shot" is habit, like giving anitibiotic shots to kids with viral infections. It's sham medicine to "reassure" you, but no more scientific or effective than having a "witch doctor" shake a rattle over you.

    I've seen cat scratch fever several times. It's scary when the person starts to have red streaks going up their arms. We sent many of people to the ER for blood poisoning.

    This doesn't refer to scratches or superficial bites, but to deep wounds where the surface can heal over, while leaving a pocket of infection beneath. So calm down there, He-Man ;)

    It is, my youngest wound up in hospital for 3 days when she was 10 because of a huge cat scratch that went from her knee to her ankle. It heeled over quickly and seemed to be all right until the fever and hallucinations kicked in, she never even mentioned that she didn't feel well.

    not the nails. in pic is explained why the teeth are more dangerous- bite goes deep and teeth are narrow, so the wound closes nicely at the top/on the skin, leaving the bacteria "trapped "down in the wound

    This happens because anything more than ~4-7 stories and cats actually have an improved chance of surviving because the webbing between their legs is allowed to spread and and become effective. They aren't exactly squirrels but there have several cases showing this amazing survival trait!

    I remember reading that there is a mid range of like 4-7 stories or maybe 4-10 stories in which falling is the most unsafe. Falling from heights below or above that have a higher survival rate. (Sorry I don't remember the specific story range)

    Funny enough cats need a minimum height to be save. They need time to rotate and after that... the height no longer is a real issue. They rotate, arch their back to land as a spring, spread their paws to reduce terminal velocity.

    The key is 'survived'. They usually get hurt - especially if they hit something while trying to turn around. :( Hope everyone is checking their windows and screens!

    32 stories is most likely around 70 meters, actually (32x2,2m) not 320...

    That would make each story like 7' tall (including floor/ceiling materials)! It's closer to 100 meters

    Aftet approx 7 stories high any falling cats would achieve terminal velocity allowing plenty of time for them to adjust their balance mid air to land safe. If anything below 7 stories would be more dangerous

    Actually it's from thatched roofs. Back in the days animals weren't really kept as indoor pets. So they slept outdoors. The thatched roofs were warm and comfortable to sleep on. However, if it rained heavily they would slide off the roofs.

    If the that phrase means that, then does "it's raining men" refer to dead men? Is the song about rejoicing over dead men's bodies? ~Questions of the Universe and Beyond~

    Also, cats would climb into the rafters of medieval houses, where it's usually warmer. Then occasionally slip of the roof leaked.

    Nope they used to live up in the rafters of the house, and when it rained the roof leaked and rafters got slippery and the cat n dogs fell off so heavy rain = rain g cats n dogs

    Incorrect. Animals would stay warm in the thatching of roofs. When it rained they would slip off.
