I can't remember the website, but there is a trend to breed kitties inside glass boxes for them to take the shape of the box, extremely sick and disturbing thing to do.

Actually the cats allow you into their lives, not the opposite as the human thinks.



I have currently my third black cat (i'm not looking for them, they come to me mysteriously) and i'm pretty sure it's the same soul in another similar (black) body. No kidding! It's karmic!

Absolutly!

If you want to see something unusual, "polydactil cats":
a genetic aberation which gives an extra finger, like a thumb:

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Yes, but many were slaughtered during the middle age with sorcery's hunting, especially the black ones.

And many are still today in Asia, -along with other animals-, to eat them and get their skin, in a very cruel way.

To what types of music animals like.

 When I play something on the computer or the small boombox it doesn't seem to bother him as much.


Anyone else have this phenomena occur?


Maybe I should get scientific about this and try other genres etc..


On the other hand it doesn't seem to bother the dog at all.



Your cat doesn't like digital. Put him a vynil, and you'll see.

My gorgeous little cat just watched the whole of my special prog dvd with me. She lies beside me and purrs whenever Curved Air come on. So what can I say?

Sorry to be the one pointing out this for you: your cat is smarter. You think he's useless, but he won't work for free. In fact, you'll never get him to work. On the other hand, your dog will do everything you ask. You might think that this is a sign of how smart the dog is. My cat knows how to open doors, windows, she also knows wich side of the bed is warmer, she knows how to make me open the closet door for her, so she can climb and sleep in a warmer place. Cats learn on their own how to do things that are usefull for them.

My cat actually likes when I play prog in my room. He likes all types of
music. It's pretty funny though because whenever a strange part comes up
or an odd meter his head always comes up and he looks confused.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

Almost the only time my cat has showed any real reaction to the music I have played was when I put the vinyl version of II by Led Zeppelin on. First he jumped on the plastic lid of the record player, making it play the same track over and over. After I had tried to put the same record on again, he pressed a button from my stereo and switched the radio on, instead of the record!
When I bought Secret Language of Birds by Ian Anderson it was fun to watch my cat getting interested, because the album starts with a sound effect of a bird singing. My cat tried to locate the imaginary bird around the room and finally focused on the loudspeaker and even peeked behind it until he understood he was being fooled! Won't get fooled again, though.
The strangest thing about the subject of my cat and music is that he seems to enjoy it when I play my guitar. He usually comes to sit beside me and sometimes even quietly purrs when I play my Fender. I'm also often amazed by how loud I can play my CD's without him being much bothered. Play any CD as loud as you can tolerate and he just sleeps, but take one step into the direction of the fridge and he's wide awake in a split of a second!
In fact his optimism is infinite: any time I walk towards the kitchen he's sure I do it only in order to give him more food, no matter how much he already has on his plate.
If his meal is "late" in his opinion or something else makes him annoyed, he has a delicate way of showing his dissatisfaction by biting my legs. Cats... the most self centered creatures on planet Earth - and that's why we like them so much!

Cats are so much smarter than dogs.

When I first got mine, I thought it was a girl so I named it Caty. Well, it turns out "she" was a "he", but I still kept the name since I was use to it. Now though, I think he's figuring out that his name is actually for a girl. Just the other day when I called to him, he gave me a look like no other...
