[www.keralites.net] CATS PHOTO

 

Cat photo - a small gallery of photos and a few interesting facts about cats.

I tried to pick up the photo is not the most "fun", and those that reflect the nature of the animal.

We can assume that every "kotovladelets" knows everything about cats. I do not just cats live a long time, and for a long time.I'm not going to talk about the features of the nature of cats. Cats - they are as people. Everyone has their own character. There is a certain similarity in the behavior, but only similarity.

Domestic cat, even if your home is a predator. Moreover, it is solitary predator. And while the cat - a social animal. And it was not my idea. So called cat experts. And they have good reason for this - the lonely cat uses to communicate a huge number of sounds, body movements and pheromones. It turns out that a lone predator nature endowed wide array of communication. Who should communicate this beast? It turns out that God invented the cat so that she liked the man.

According to statistics on the planet inhabited by more than 600 million domestic cats, classified more than 200 breeds.

The modern Russian word cat has moved from the Old Russian "Kotka" and "Kotka" happened - from the Latin cattus. What is interesting is that nearly all the languages ​​of the world cat - a cat. I will not list all of the options (cat, k'at'u, cath, catt, gato, gatto, Katz, katė, Katze), but it's true. Several distinguished Chinese. They have a cat called «māo».

CATS ON THE PHOTOS

One can assume that cat settled on the ground together in humans. Scientists argue that all domestic cats, the maternal line descended from the steppe cats. A steppe cat appeared on the planet some 130 thousand years ago. Steppe cats (in the wild), and today can be found in North Africa and the Mediterranean region, some areas of China, etc.

The domestication of the cat occurred about 9500 years ago. Once people have ceased to roam the planet and began to lead a sedentary life, immediately next to them was a cat. Someone had to protect the food supply from rodents. Rodents go to places people store food and rodent came cats - solitary hunters of rodents. Cats do not claim to food of people - they eat only meat and meatless can not live. If the cat is not fed meat, it is simply sick. And if there are rodents, and then feed it is not necessary.

Why am I telling you this in such detail? Today, it is believed that the cat is completely useless animal. In a modern apartment in a cat, really, "work" there. 9500 thousand years of work has been, and now - no.

And now a few interesting facts about cats.

The cat directional hearing, ie, it classifies the noise is not at all, and the direction. The cat just moving the ear in the direction of the sound. The most interesting thing that can move each ear independently and cat can keep track of two audio sources.

Another distinctive feature of the cats - the presence of special haptic (tactile) hairs, which are located above the eyes, upper lip, under the chin, on the tail, on the paws on the tips of the ears. These hairs experts called whiskers. It was found that the worse the cat vision, the longer and thicker than her these tactile hairs.

Cats have a well-developed taste and distinguish bitter, salty and sour. For a long time it was thought that cats do not distinguish between sweet - Experts say that the charge for "sweet" gene is damaged. However, recent studies have shown that this is not true - in a sweet cat versed no worse than men.

Cats, on average, live 14 years. However, the known and long-lived. In England, he lived the cat Lucy, who managed to mark the fortieth anniversary. If the cat's age translate into the human, then we can talk about the life of 175-180 years long. Lucy was the oldest cat on earth.
