Cats are now found almost everywhere on earth. Cats are similar in. To the other felids, with strong, flexible bodies, quick reflexes, sharp retractable claws, and teeth adapted to killing small prey. Predators, cats use their acute hearing and ability to see in near darkness to locate prey. Not only can cats hear sounds too faint for human ears, they can also hear sounds higher in. Than humans can perceive. This is because cats' usual prey (particularly rodents such as mice) make high frequency noises, so cats' hearing has. To pinpoint these faint high-pitched sounds. Cats rely more on smell than taste, and have a vastly better sense of smell than humans. Despite being solitary hunters, cats are a social species and use a variety of.

Cats are too intelligent to do the sort of tricks that dogs do willingly. Others believe cats are unintelligent because it's harder to train them to do tricks. In this article (on 2 pages) i aim to explain some of these differences and explore feline intelligence and the limitations on feline intelligence. This also means looking at how cats see the world and at some aspects of natural cat behaviour. Unfortunately for cats, they are often non-consenting participants in surgically intrusive experiments to assess learning and intelligence. Humans seem to feel it necessary to assess the intelligence of animals as a way of reinforcing our own sense of superiority and the cat has been a favourite subject for studying learning and brain function for over a century. Many tests insert electrodes into cats' brains either to monitor brain activity or stimulate certain behaviour; others involve deliberately injuring the brain to see whether learning capacity or intelligence is affected. Most such test subjects are killed and their brains further dissected to look for evidence of brain changes resulting from learning. I personally consider these experiments cruel and gratuitous (their medical benefit to humans is too often dubious) and though some such experiments are referenced here, messybeast. Com does not support this form of experimentation. In recent years there has been an increase in tests in a more natural home-type environment rather than an artificial laboratory environment. While lab conditions are more easily manipulated, they do not bring out the best in test subjects and give misleading results. Better tests also take into account an animal's innate behaviours and instincts, things which have previously counted against cats in classical laboratory tests. This article also considers some of the anecdotal evidence for intelligence reported by owners, but frequently dismissed by laboratory researchers. Since cats operate in the natural world, it makes sense to observe them in their own environment and not just in highly controlled, artificial laboratory environments.

Cats are able to produce a low frequency purr by activating the muscles of their vocal folds - stimulating them to vibrate," explained dr mccomb. Since each of these sounds is produced by a different mechanism, cats are able to embed a high-pitched cry in an otherwise relaxing purr. "how urgent and unpleasant the purr is seems to depend on how much energy the cat puts into producing that cry," said dr mccomb. Previous studies have found similarities between a domestic cat's cry and the cry of a human baby - a sound that humans are highly sensitive to. Dr mccomb said that the cry occurs at a low level in cats' normal purring. "but we think that (they) learn to dramatically exaggerate it when it proves effective in generating a response from humans. She added that the trait seemed to most often develop in cats that have a one-on-one relationship with their owners.

http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/366/are-cats-and-dogs-really-color-blind-how-do-they-know
Cats are color-blind. Doubts about this conclusion arose some years later, however. Cats have cones as well as rod-type vision receptors in their retinas, and cones have long been associated with color vision in humans. Neurologists who wired up feline brains with electrodes discovered that, on laboratory instruments at least, cats responded to light of different wavelengths--which is to say, color. So researchers went back for another round of fish experiments. Finally, in the 1960s, they managed to teach the cats to discriminate between colors. But it took some doing--one group found it took their cats between 1,350 and 1,750 tries before they got the hang of it. From this one might deduce one of two things: either cats are exceptionally dense, a proposition cecil has no trouble buying, or else they just don't give a hoot about color. Most cat scholars have opted for choice #2, saying that the ability to distinguish colors is obviously of no importance to cats and hence not something they learn readily. Less work has been done on dogs than on cats, but what there is suggests canine color sensitivity isn't very good either. Much the same can be said for mammals in general, with the exception of primates. In contrast, some of your supposedly lower order creatures, such as fish, turtles, and especially birds, can distinguish color with ease. The fact that these primitive beasts should have more advanced visual abilities than their mammalian betters has always struck observers as a little odd; clearly the evolutionary progress of color vision has been more erratic than one might expect.

Cats are perfect. More specifically, scientists have documented a particular feline skill (one among many, cats lovers agree) that requires an oddly perfect mastery of the science of physics. For years, it was believed that cats, like dogs, used their tongues as a kind of ladle to cup liquid and pull it towards their mouths. Recent studies have shown, however, that cats use a very different method that involves a precise balancing of gravity and inertia when it comes to drinking.

Cats are not stupid, they're just different. Photograph: getty. It will cause outrage among some cat owners, but research suggests the. Are not as clever as some humans assumed - or at least they think in a way we have yet to fathom. Psychology lecturer britta osthaus says cats do not understand cause-and-effect connections between objects. She tested the thought processes of 15 of them by attaching fish and biscuit treats to one end of a piece of string, placing them under a plastic screen to make them unreachable and then seeing if the cats could work out that pulling on the other end of the string would pull the treat closer. They were tested in three ways, using a single baited string, two parallel strings where only one was baited, and two crossed strings where only one was baited. The single string test proved no problem, but unlike dogs (which osthaus has previously tested) no cat consistently chose correctly between two parallel strings. With two crossed strings, one cat always made the wrong choice and others succeeded no more than might be expected by chance.

Cats are descended from the species. Felis sylvestris. ("cat of the woods"), which goes by the common name "wildcat. The species is indigenous to europe, the middle east and east asia. The new world, japan and oceania lack wildcats. North america's closest counterpart is the lynx. There are five subspecies of wildcats, and they look very much like many pet cats, particularly non-pedigree ones. The scottish wildcat, for example, is indistinguishable from a barn cat with a mackerel tabby coat. These animals, however, are a true wild species. They are not escaped pets that have become feral, or reverted to the wild. Driscoll and his collaborators, who included oxford zoologist david macdonald, took blood samples and ear punch biopsies from all wildcat subspecies as well as from fancy-breed cats, non-pedigree pet cats and feral cats. They analyzed two kinds of genetic fingerprints: nuclear dna, which carries nearly all of an animal's genes and reflects inheritance from both parents, and mitochondrial dna, which exists outside the cell nucleus, carries only a few genes and descends through the generations only from mothers.

Cats are motivated by what's in it for them. Nagelschneider, now 37, studied psychology in college but never finished her degree. She worked as a veterinary technician and cat sitter and, over time, developed a protocol for modifying cat behavior. In 1999 she officially opened her. Cat behavior clinic. , in portland, ore. Nagelschneider has six cats of her own, not to mention three dogs and what must be one very anxious cockatiel. Nagelschneider has boned up on behavior theory, flying across the country to take animal behavior classes at harvard. She estimates that over the years, she's consulted with tens of thousands of clients, mostly by phone. Nagelschneider is no pet psychic, and she doesn't necessarily need to meet a cat in person to diagnose its problem. Her goal isn't to train cats, per se, but to teach their owners to get inside the minds of their feline friends. I started my consultation by filling out a questionnaire about thompson's behavior and home environment. I described in detail his two main issues: the biting, of course, and also his need for attention.

Cats are patient and seem to live by the motto, "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. " listening to the thump of the kitchen cabinet door all night motivates you to go to the hardware store in the morning and buy baby-proof cabinet locks. Behaviorists seem to concur that cats do learn and that many aspects of their brains are structurally similar to the human brain. Like humans, cats have short and long term memory, so they not only remember when it's time for dinner, they also can recognize people they met years before. Although obviously cats don't read and write, they do learn by example. For example, kittens learn hunting skills by watching their mothers and then practicing the maneuvers themselves. If you've ever seen kittens practicing pouncing on prey, you can tell it requires quite a few tries before they start to get it right. As anyone who has tried will tell you, training a cat is not like training a dog. Unlike many dogs who live to please their people, cats are monumentally uninterested in what you think. When it comes to training, the bottom line is that something other than you needs to motivate the cat to do what you want. Otherwise, the cat will just sit and glare at you like you're an idiot. However, some food-motivated cats can be trained using treats. Clicker training, which involves using food and a click noise as a reward, is often used to train cats to do tricks.

Cats are not more prone to blindness - either hereditary or acquired - than other cats. Your friends may be confusing blindness with deafness: here, the situation is completely different. Hereditary deafness is a major concern in white cats, and even more so if one or both irises are blue in color. Researchers found that only 17 to 22 percent of white cats with non-blue eyes are born deaf. The percentage rises to 40 percent if the cat has one blue eye, while upwards of 65 to 85 percent of all-white cats with both eyes blue are deaf. Some of these cats are deaf in only one ear. Interestingly, if a white cat with one blue eye is deaf in only one ear, that ear will invariably be on the same side of the head as the blue eye. Cats with just one deaf ear may appear perfectly normal, and their problem may never become known to their human companions. Even cats that are totally deaf from birth can make perfectly satisfactory companions as long as a few precautions are heeded. Try to keep them out of situations where their safety depends upon their ability to pick up auditory cues. Don't let them go outside where they can be killed or injured by threats they cannot hear, like from roaming dogs and speeding cars. There is no treatment for hereditary deafness.

Cats are smarter than many people think, at least when it comes to hydrodynamics," writes co-author jeffrey m. Aristoff of princeton. Unlike humans, who can seal their cheeks to suck in liquids, dogs and cats rely on lapping, reis said. A dog's tongue in effect forms a little cup to scoop up water. "cats are far more complex," reis said. Their tongues don't pierce the surface of a liquid. Big cats don't lap as rapidly as house cats, the scientists said, in part because their tongues are larger. "lions and tigers [tongues] will go about half [the speed] of house cats," said roman stocker, an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at mit.

Cats are eaten in asia?. The absence of dogs and cats from the agricultural statistics of almost every dog or cat eating nation tends to confirm that they are eaten not primarily for food value, but rather as a vice, believed to enhance sexual attraction and potency. Some of the asian nations in which dogs and cats are eaten are descended from some of the first civilizations to keep written records. Statistics on grain production and animal husbandry in many ancient asian empires are still accessible to scholars who can read the scripts. Yet quantifying dog and cat consumption, either historically or today, remains more mysterious than estimating the numbers of children born out of wedlock, the truth of which is emerging through genetic research that seeks to trace the descendants of genghis khan and other legendary rulers. Polled by animal people publisher kim bartlett, animal advocates in all parts of asia confirmed from direct knowledge that dogs and cats are consumed in relatively small numbers by ethnic minorities, and are eaten in large numbers in parts of china and in north and south korea. Few, however, could estimate how many dogs and cats are consumed. Those who are trying to develop numbers are mostly still in the early stages of collecting data.

Way better than dogs. I will show you why. Cat owners aren't evil, they are powerful. They have the balls to go out and do what they want, no matter who says what, and they are not under control by their cats. Cats defend people, if they are worthy. I'd much rather have a lion guarding my house than a stupid dog. A dog will guard anybody who gives it a piece of food. A lion would only guard the elite people, such as myself, which is great for everybody. Also, only a dog owner would be stupid enough to get caught in a bear trap in the first place, so i wouldn't have to worry about it. A cat owner would say, 'hey, there is a big metal trap on the ground, i don't think i'll step on it, i'll leave it for a stupid dog owner'.

Cats are the offspring of lost or abandoned pet cats or other feral cats who are not spayed or neutered. Stray cats are accustomed to contact with people and are tame, but feral cats are not accustomed to contact with people and are typically too fearful and wild to be handled. "wheras stray cats may be reunited with their families or adopted into new homes, feral cats do not easily adapt or may never adapt to living as pets in close contact with people. However, there are many things you can do to help improve the health and quality of life of feral cats. Why are there feral cats? where do they come from?. Feral cats are the offspring of lost or abandoned pet cats or other feral cats who are not spayed or neutered. Females can reproduce two to three times a year, and their kittens, if they survive, will become feral without early contact with people. Cats can become pregnant as early as 5 months of age, and the number of cats rapidly increases without intervention by caring people.
