Note that this is a parody. No one did this for real.

A fun science story for those who love cats and/or genetics (I thought we needed a bit of lighter news today). https://www.microsoftnewskids.com/en-us/kids/animals/now-we-know-how-tabby-cats-get-their-stripes/ar-AAOfkho Now we know how tabby cats get their stripes JoAnna Klein 1 day ago Of...

I strongly suggest that researchers do future experiments with Egyptian Cats, Siamese/Oriental cats, and/or Forest Cats/Main Coons for the best first results. Both the Ancient Egyptians and the many Temples in Asia (especially Thailand) used TRAINED cats in place of dogs for some situations...

The UK officially (and wisely I think) still uses rescue cats (usually from Battersea Cat and Dog Rescue) to patrol and help control pests in a number of their historic buildings. Palmerston's attention to his job and his mutual hatred of Larry the Number 10 cat has been followed for several...

0)Nightwolf says the only safe essential oils to use around cats are: 1. Lavender 2. Chamomile (both Roman and German) 3. Cannabis These oils all have incredibly low toxicity (we can't even find an LD50 for any of the cannabinoids yet...occasionally a number is suggested, but it always...

Hi everyone, By now most people on the forum know I have written a book on keeping Happy Barn Cats. That book is doing well enough that Nightwolf and I have been asked to write a book on The Happy Housecat. Now the first book came about from 45 single-spaced pages of questions asked here on...

In the UK there is a long tradition of "working cats" who actually do help keep down vermin in post offices, pubs, bookshops, and even the Prime Minister's official residence, so BoJo is going to find he isn't the only Alpha Male living in Downing Street, Larry regularly beats up the working cat...

It is published! The book originally inspired by 40 single-spaced pages of questions about barn cats and pets cats that I downloaded from my inbox on this forum is finally (15 years later) a published book! My publisher sets the prices (this is not self-published) and because it is a...

HI - with all the bad and breaking news I thought I would post some good news - without everyone at this forum this book would never have been written. Thanks to the 40 plus single-spaced pages of questions from all of you (and others) about barn cats, along with the late editions of great...

Cats seem to be superior to humans in many ways: sight, hearing, smell and agility for instance. It has been said that if cats had opposable thumbs then they, not we humans, would rule the world. Be that as it may, I have 3 polydactl cats who have opposable thumbs. Fortunately for us, they...

From National Geographic Homeless Cats Recruited to Fight Rising Tide of Rats There’s a new sheriff in Washington D.C. alleys: adopted feral cats. But as rodent-killing machines, New York’s terriers are even better. Picture of a rat looking for food in a trash can VIEW IMAGES Complaints...

I know some people are going to wonder why all the cats were not just put down but it is probably because this flu has a very low mortality rate in cats; and it is rarely transmitted to people (one vet caught it again it is mild) but this probably is good practice towards containing other...

About a year and a half ago, we adopted two kittens out of the wild. One (Chloe) is solid black; the other (Zoe) is calico or tortoiseshell. Both are exceedingly affectionate and playful. Both are also unreformable thieves. Chloe started out stealing office supplies. That was a problem for my...

I keep saying, where you have gardens and farming; and you have small cats around that can self-domesticate they will. I am hoping this genetic study will get more funding as there are mysteries such as the likely link between Main Coons and Norwegian Forest Cats (modern name for the Viking Cat...

:lol: Given all the chaos now underway in the world right now, I declare the Doomer Doug one minute sanity program. If, after going to this link, you aren't at least somewhat in a better mood, you can go back to the Turkey, Erdogan is a lunatic who is going to nuke us, threads. After all, we...

Last I looked this book didn't even have a kindle edition! I put this under "Farm" because it has a lot of insight into pet cats (including barn cat colonies) as well as big cats. From the author of the much better known Hidden Life of Dogs - this is a must read for those who want to help...

OK I'm starting a new thread to not clutter up the one on Cruz, but this is based on a project I just started on facebook. A few weeks ago I said this year I would only post pictures of candidates with a cat, preferably their own cat but a friendly kitty would do. At that time I could only...

I wasn't sure where or how to post this, but for those cat lovers out there (I have 3), you'll get it. http://dailygarlic.com/picture/people-were-wondering-what-goes-on-inside-a-cats-head-this-guy-nails-it-21872
