New Study Proves Unsuspected Social Ability in Cats

Guess what. Cats have gaze-driven communication, and in contrast to their reputation, may seek help when necessary. Not only do they seek assistance: Their form of communication depends on the available human’s state of mind. That is a level of social cognitive ability cats hadn’t been thought to possess, in contrast to dogs, according to a new study.

No, they’re not asking with their eyes. Many domestic dogs can wiggle their eyebrows and make themselves look insanely appealing. Then we adopt them and give them treats. Cats can’t do that.

But it turns out they are aware of you and whether you’re in the zone to pay attention to them. The results, published in the journal Animal Cognition, fly in the face of their image as egomaniacs who are unaware of us except as feeding machines that are conveniently warm-lapped in winter............

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

It just pisses me off that cats refuse to speak English.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-
