RE: Day Four ~ Seven Day B&W Challenge ~ Original Photography ~
No one is very afraid of Stinky the Cat. However, EVERYONE is afraid of the black cat Pantera. Particularly the neighbor Jim. Pantera peed on his leg one day. Jim never came back.
All cats have claws, and all except the cheetah sheath them when at rest.
I will read this to Stinky the Cat. Maybe she will get a hint and use them for something useful. One day she pulled the bedroom screen out of the window, just to get into the house. She is very smart. And sometimes very bad. This is not a good combination for a cat. With or without retractable claws.
A cat rubs against people not only to be affectionate but also to mark out its territory with scent glands around its face. The tail area and paws also carry the cat’s scent.
Stinky the Cat's breath smells like sweaty Rotweiller on a hot summer day. That is one reason her name is Stinky. We love her anyway.
The Pilgrims were the first to introduce cats to North America.
Stinky the Cat would be interested to hear this fact. She LOVES turkey. And the Pilgrims are pretty involved with turkey in November. I think she would like to think about them, and their sacrifices crossing the ocean, the next time she gets to eat turkey.
She does not like most vegetables though. So we won't talk about the Pilgrims when she makes a wrinkled face at most of the vegetables.
Ancient Egyptian family members shaved their eyebrows in mourning when the family cat died.
I really do have to go to bed now. You're starting to repeat yourself even more, Miseur Catfact. I've heard about these shaved eyebrows from Egypt about 27 times now.
The female cat reaches sexual maturity within 6 to 10 months; most veterinarians suggest spaying the female at 5 months, before her first heat period. The male cat usually reaches sexual maturity between 9 and 12 months.
I'm pretty sure the cats from across the fence are born with sexual maturity. I think all they have to do is look at each other and out pops kittens. The little things seem to be everywhere. As Stinky the Cat often asks me in the back yard as they run on by to the woodpile..."what's up with that"?
We haven't had that discussion yet.
A female cat is called a queen or a molly.
Around here the female cat is known as The Stinkmeister, The StinkBomb, The Stinkareeno, or Stinkle puss...to name but a few.
In 1987 cats overtook dogs as the number one pet in America.
Cats, especially older cats, do get cancer. Many times this disease can be treated successfully.
Cats lose almost as much fluid in the saliva while grooming themselves as they do through urination.
So if nature happens to call while Stinky the Cat is grooming herself, we should be aware of possible dehydration?
Of all the species of cats, the domestic cat is the only species able to hold its tail vertically while walking. All species of wild cats hold their tail horizontally or tucked between their legs while walking.
Robert the Cat always tried to wag his tail, like a dog. It never worked. I'm pretty sure cat's are born without a proper 'waggo-motor' in their south end.
Even though he gave it his all, it only came out as a little shimmy-wiggle at the very base. It was quite cute, but not good as a way to get other dogs to understand his intentions. Which is OK, I suppose, because he was a cat. And dogs did not really understand him anyway.
