Salam.. morning anak-anak bulus n everyone... hehehe :D
Okay ari ni episod 2 dalam siri 100 Ways To Read Cat Signals.. huhu
2.1 "Don't Look At Me Like That!!"
 |
| hehehe sori le pic copy buku :-p |
The Hissing sound a cat makes is very similar to the hiss of snake when it rears up, fearing attack. It's a sound reserved for close contact, when the aggressor can feel the full force of the air expelled over a cat's arched tongue. It has been theorized that cats developed this ability to imitate snakes through the evolutionary process. Dogs are extremely wary of snakes, and it is said that cats exploit this age-old fear. It's nice theory, if it weren't for the fact that baby hedgehogs. when threatened, can also produce a loud, hissing, snorting noise made by expelling air rapidly. Cats may well be exploiting the surprise factor more than anything else.

2.2 "Meow!!"
 |
| meeoowwwww~~! |
It may surprise you to learn that cats rarely meow to each other. The meow is reserved almost exclusively for cat-to-human communication and is used to say "I'm here. Here I am. Look, I'm down here!!" That is why there is often more meowing after a can of cat food is opened than beforehand, as the cat wants to make quite sure that it is the recipient. Meows are used primarily for food and access, and occasionally to say "hello," although some Burmese and Siamese owners will swear that they can have whole conversations with their cats.
P/S : Using Up One Of The Nine
Florida senator Ken Myer thought he had lost his cat, Andy, when the cat fell from the 16th floor of his apartment building. Andy survived the fall, the longest recorded non fatal fall by a cat. Also making use of its nine lives, a cat in Taiwan was discovered still alive after being trapped inside a collapsed building for 8 days following an earthquake in 1999.

2.3 "You Can't Go Out Looking Like That."
In the extended kittenhood that is a house cat's life, stroking is a reminder that the owner is their 'parents'. Cats are one of the cleanest animals, and from the moment they are born, the mother will devote long hours to licking her little clean. The abrasive cat tongue is a very good grooming tool, and kittens learn to be soothed and reassured by the action. Cat owners take over the role of 'kitten mother' when they become responsible for feeding, protecting and watching the kitten/cat. And just like Mom, the two-legged parent will also teach them proper grooming habits.
P/S : Record-Breaking Cat There are many claims for the world's oldest living cat. The problem for the The Guinness Book of
Records is that most aged cats don't have verifiable records of their birth date. However, there are well
- recorded instances of cats living into their thirties, and Creme Puff, a cat from Austin, Texas,
celebrated her 38 birthday in 2005. A man in Dumfriesshine, Scotland, claimed to have a cat that was
43, but before the Scottish Cat Club could check out the details, it was killed by a train.

2.4 "Hi, New Mom"
Stroking is a reassuring reminder of kittenhood and is enjoyed by even the oldest of cats. It is a maternal association that is deep in the cat's psyche. One thing a cat might do when it is first stroked on all fours is to hold its tail erect. This isn't a sign of excitement or a method of having the stroke extended along the back and then all the way up the tail. It is the action of a kitten who lifts his tail up to allow the mother to check that all is clean behind it. It is another sign of the cat reverting to kitten.
P/S : Good Fur You
Stroking a pet is widely viewed as a great way to relieve tension in humans, and cats have an advantage
in that they have very soft and well-groomed coats. There are approximately 60,000 hairs per square
inch on the back of a cat and about 120,000 per square inch on its belly.

2.5 "I Feel Safe With You!"
 |
| huh.. selesanyeee~~ |
A cat lying around the house may see you approaching and roll over onto its back. This is the greeting of a (literally) laid-back cat. Whereas a move active cat might race up to you and start nudging its head against you, this cat is pleased to see you, but it's still pretty comfortable and warm where it is and doesn't want to trouble itself by getting up. The action of rolling over and exposing its vulnerable belly is something a cat won't risk if it senses any kind of danger. So it's an act trust. "You're safe, but I still can't be bothered to get up"
P/S : "Don't Stroke Me!!"
Even though the rollover is a friendly, positive move, it is not an invitation to stroke the belly. The
position is aimed at showing submissiveness. Some cats can be stroked here, but more often than not a
stroke may be met with a swiped paw or even an attempted bite. This is a sensitive area, and a cat
needs to be on very good terms with a human before the person is allowed to stroke its belly.
Fuuh!! hehe harap korang faham dan enjoy membaca entry tuk kali ni.. jumpa lagi ye.. daaaa~~
