RE: Day Four ~ Seven Day B&W Challenge ~ Original Photography ~
The group of words associated with cat (catt, cath, chat, katze) stem from the Latin catus, meaning domestic cat, as opposed to feles, or wild cat.
I have two bowls I use for soup and stew sometimes. They say "Chat" on them. I always wondered where that came from. Now I know, I'm eating stew out of a cat's bowl. (They WERE new...jeeesh.)
I'm pretty sure Stinky the Cat would get a real charge out of this. I don't think I will tell her...
A cat sees about 6 times better than a human at night, and needs 1/6 the amount of of light that a human does - it has a layer of extra reflecting cells which absorb light.
