Cats

I killed a post I was going to publish here the other day on this, as I elected that I had gone OB with it... But I will expound slightly with some of it here. I have come to realize that cats are SEE-ER's. And I think this goes WAAYY beyond down to how small a micron...!!! If you were to imagine yourself a king, and you were sitting atop a throne... To your RIGHT would be your trustworthy DOG. PHYSICALLY GUARDING YOU and YOURS. The "hands-on Right Hand Man" so to speak". He's the one that AUTOMATICALLY goes into action to kick some royal ass for you if the pack falls threatened... THE CAT sits the the LEFT(this is no discredit). This is your "See-er". The one in the family with VISION and Judgement with a VIEW to I am not sure yet, but its something strong...! And SIGHT without having to necc. be there WHERE EVER it is SEEing..! To truly understand this phenomenon, you have to run a household with both cats and dogs, and watch them as they work together to create this incredible Synergy.. You also have to OPEN YOUR EYES to LOOK/ if you want to SEE....! But what you will find is that they work TOGETHER as TEAMS. A team serving YOU...!

** And I am not sure if the cat even sits to either side, but MAY BE more like "Merlin" in the background giving powerful guidance if you CAN HEAR IT...!!!

On a kitty side note. Remember the kids when you grew up that always disliked and were mean to cats. Even the "Adults" today that you know that "Hate cats". The REASON they don't like them is because they know that they can been "SEEN" by a cat. I am starting to believe that the Cat holds the power to SEE THE SOUL....! We all do, But the cat has some kind of clairvoyance in this arena...

There has always been a certain mystique to "A Cat's Eye" so to speak. Folklore, movie legend, whatever. It was only recently I was again reviewing that flick with Quearano Reeves and that smokin HOT ass hottie Rachel Weisz. For some reason this time I noted the scene where Keanno's Biblical Character needed to get to the dimension of "Hell" to check some stuff out briefly. Of the many ingredients required to make this quick dimensional trip, one of the things was that he was holding a CAT, and starring into it's EYES....;)
 
Kemah - I have read that 21 years is a long time for a cat to live, but it is far too short for me. Kemah will no longer be with me at the end of the day. He has lost a great deal of weight. His purring used to be the loudest of any cat I have ever known. These days his strength is ebbing fast. He was so named because he was found as a kitten in a dumpster in Kemah, Texas. So much more to him than these few lines. So much more ... I will miss you little friend. I will remember you for all of my days. Thank you for the companionship.

Man, sorry to hear that Dr. Scally. Didn't you put another one down recently?

I can't take it. I love my cats. I seriously feel for you. Kemah is a beautiful guy.
 
Sorry about your loss.I wasn't much of a cat person till I moved in with my girlfriend who had three and got to understand them and enjoy them and just took my very own in after my girlfriend got her from the street and was going to give it to a cat adoption center.I decided I wanted to keep her and it was a great decision

Last January 2014, Our cat Sammy had cancer and was euthanized. That is the first thread post. Kemah was a special friend. He was with us for 21+ years.
 
21 years is one heck of a life for a cat, he must have been an inside kitty. He looks great in that pic you posted, considering he was about 14 at the time.
 
This is from a either further back. He was part of what we called the "Three Musketeers." There was Mozart & Kira, both dogs, & Kemah. Mozart & Kira passed a number of years ago. Mozart had a very special bond with Kemah. They would lie together often. And, we noticed that Kemah would make a habit of touching Mozart's nose when he went to bed. [Mozart was a gorgeous black pit bull.]

Hey Doc, Is your dog wearing slippers?

My wife liked those booties!!! Mozy was a gentle soul. He was the friendliest, warmest, affectionate, gentle, ... dog. When Kira was a pup, she would follow Mozart around and be the biggest nuisance. She would bite and hold onto his tail!!! You could almost see him laughing. His ear became bent from her biting it so much. He protected that little dog like nothing I had ever seen. I just loved his presence.

One of the cats I feed outside had kittens last night:( I wamt to say she is not a ferrell cause she does let me pet her. Out of 4 only 1 survived. We have to figure out what to do next cause we are moving soon and my mother in law will not continue to feed them, tho most have moved on I believe. Or at least don't come around.as.much but this one who had the kitten. I'm such a mush when it comes.to these animals and a shelter is out of the question.
 
Emotion Regulation, Procrastination, and Watching Cat Videos Online: Who Watches Internet Cats, Why, and to What Effect?

Highlights
· A survey of nearly 7000 Internet users tested associations between personality traits, past behavior, and viewing cat-related media online.
· The study also examined Internet users’ motivations for consuming cat-related content, including emotion regulation and procrastination.
· Additionally, it explored effects of Internet cat consumption on emotional states and enjoyment of this type of digital media.
· Results point to certain personality types being more strongly associated with Internet cat consumption.
· Furthermore, results support a conceptual model arguing that the happiness gained from viewing Internet cats can moderate the relationship between procrastination motives, guilt, and enjoyment.

Science says watching cat videos is good for you and may actually help you perform tough tasks better.

That’s according to research published in the journal Computers in Human Behaviour which surveyed almost 7,000 people about how they felt after watching cat videos.

Indiana University assistant professor Jessica Gall Myrick analysed the results and found videos aren’t just entertaining - they also boost viewers’ energy and emotions and made them feel better about negative feelings.

“As a media researcher and online cat video viewer, I felt compelled to gather some data about this pop culture phenomenon,” Myrick said. “Even if they are watching cat videos on YouTube to procrastinate or while they should be working, the emotional pay-off may actually help people take on tough tasks afterward.”

Anecdotes abound about the frequent use of the Internet to view cat-related media. Yet, research has yet to seriously address this popular culture phenomenon rooted largely in social media platforms.

It is possible that viewing of online cat media improves mood, but this activity may also foster negative outcomes linked to using the Internet for procrastination.

The present survey of Internet users (N = 6795) explored the correlates of viewing “Internet cats,” motivations for consuming this media, and its potential effects on users.

It also tested a conceptual model predicting enjoyment as a function of the relationships between procrastination, guilt, and happiness.

Results reveal significant relationships between viewing and personality types and demonstrate conceptual nuances related to the emotional benefits of watching Internet cats.
 
Like I said . I picked up one of my cats one night on K. While I thought I coukd see a soul I knew before. I have later realized I saw a thousand souls looking into me. Placed a cat on it's back that don't like it and it starred lifetimes into me. Call it science fiction...
