RE: Day Four ~ Seven Day B&W Challenge ~ Original Photography ~
We first named Stinky the Cat Buttercup, and took her to the store in a harness, and sat out front on a bench, in the hopes we could adopt her out. No one was interested.
Then we re-named her Stinky. We did not try to give her away after that. She seemed to greatly enjoy her one day out though.
I would say taking Stinky the Cat to the store is KIND OF like a cat show. We didn't parade her around for the judges, like in "Best of Show", but she did get heavily scrutinized by judgemental-looking shoppers as they got tangled up in her leash on the way into the store. I think that counts...
A cat called Dusty has the known record for the most kittens. She had more than 420 kittens in her lifetime.
Stinky the Cat is smarter than Dusty. She knows not to back into any Tom's in the neighborhood with her tail in the air. Who wants to have 420 kittens anyway? That's a LOT of kitty litter!
Stinky the Cat says there's better things to do in life than procreate like a rat on steroids...like eat too late at night. Or pull screens from windows. Or sleep on totally clean laundry. Or sit on my chest while I do sit-ups, "just to add some weight and help out with the program".
A cat will tremble or shiver when it is in extreme pain.
People who are allergic to cats are actually allergic to cat saliva or to cat dander. If the resident cat is bathed regularly the allergic people tolerate it better.
Ha ha, that's a good one. But let's get real here. I wouldn't try to give Stinky the Cat a bath if my life depended on it, I had an industrial floor-mop to hold her down in the tub, and I was dressed in 12th Century Armor from King Ferdinand himself.
Female cats tend to be right pawed, while male cats are more often left pawed. Interestingly, while 90% of humans are right handed, the remaining 10% of lefties also tend to be male.
A cat’s heart beats nearly twice as fast as a human heart, at 110 to 140 beats a minute.
I'm pretty sure Stinky the Cat's heart beats even faster than that. She is in excellent shape. From all the running around and pullups she does.
Lions are the only cats that live in groups, called prides. Every female within the pride is usually related.
Stinky the Cat has a lot of pride too. Whenever we un-intentionally insult her, she looks away and acts very interested in totally UN-interesting things. Like the vacuum cleaner in the OFF mode. Or a small dust bunny with a rubber band stuck in it in the corner of the living room. Or maybe those "door doinger" thingies. (The little 5 inch spring sticking out of the wall with a rubber cap on the end to keep the bedroom doorknob from hitting the wall.) Like to see a lion ignore THOSE things.
Also...We do not know any of the cats related to Stinky the Cat.
The heaviest cat on record is Himmy, a Tabby from Queensland, Australia. He weighed nearly 47 pounds (21 kg). He died at the age of 10.
Stinky the Cat was not impressed by this one. " All you gotta do is absolutely nothing, and eat a lot of kibbles and Turkey."
Cats have 300 million neurons; dogs have about 160 million
"And the human race has about 6 billion morons, minus the one that feeds me". -Stinky the Cat
"Neurons Stinky, NEURONS!".
A cat can sprint at about thirty-one miles per hour.
How fast do they go when they are just light jogging?
If they have ample water, cats can tolerate temperatures up to 133 °F.
