Cat Body Language - 100 Ways To Read Their Signals..

Assalamualaikum..

Okay.. da lama aku tak update sal  cat body language ni kan? haha very the malas.. haha okay ari ni kita sambung okay..

4.1 "No Suckling Till You're clean"


The mommy welcome he 5th kitten (of 6th) into the world by giving it a once-over lick.
        Kittens are born at intervals of anything from a couple of minutes to an hour apart. A typical litter for a cat would be 5 or 6 kittens, so the process can be over quickly or last for several hours, by which time the mother will be exhausted. On average, kittens will arrive at 20-30mins intervals, allowing the mother time to clean up each kitten and most importantly, clear out the airways. Kittens are born inside an amniotic sac, which the mother will bite away before starting the clean up phase. 

P/S : Looking For Clues
   
        One big clue that a cat is about to give birth a seen when after being extremely hungry, she 
        will suddenly go off her food. This is followed by several hours of restlessness and nesting 
        behaviour, along with pacing around, painting and crying Labor has begun. 


_________________________________________


4.2 "You're The Last, But Not The Least"


The mommy has just given birth to her 6th and final kitten. After a clean up she will join the rest of brothers and sisters and find her own specially reserved nipple.
       Once each kitten is clean, the mother will bite through the umbilical cord, leaving about an inch attached to the kitten's belly. She will eat the placenta of the first born kittens, as this will be rich  and readily available source of food at a time when moving away from the nest is unthinkable. She will lick the kittens all over to remove the afterbirth, thus forming the smell bond between kitten and mother ( a bond that is often missed when cats give birth through caesarean section at the vet). Then she will rest and wait for the next kitten to emerge.




P/S : Need Some Help, Mom? 


         Apart from sharing overlapping territories and grooming each other, cats can show great 
         interaction at certain times. When a cat gives birth in a multi cat household, other  female cat 
         have been known to help out by nipping the umbilical cord, bringing food for the cat,or helping
         clean the kitten.


_________________________________________


4.3  "Where Is Mine?"


        Once a litter is born, the kittens are ready to feed. As with most mammals, the first milk is thin but is rich in antibodies to help the kittens stave off diseases in the air they are now breathing. This colostrum will last for several days, after which their normal supply will begin to flow for up to 2 months. Unlike puppies who will barge in and feed off day any nipple at feeding time. The blind kittens will locate their nipple by smell. If this smell is masked by the mother's contact with some powerful scent, they will struggle to find their rightful place.

_________________________________________


4.4 "Keep on Flowing Milk. I Want More."


        Kitten  are pretty helpless when they are born. They weigh about 3 ounces and are blind and deaf. All they have to go on is their smell, which binds them solidly to their mother and their correct nipple. After 3 o 4 days, they will have developed the milk kneading or 'treading' technique on their   mother's belly, which they use to stimulate milk flow. In later life, cats will re-create this action when they are safe and relaxed in a human lap or sometimes when just being stroked. At the end of the kitten's first week. their eyes begin to open. revealing vivid blue eyes. Whatever the breed, all cats eyes are blue at first, changing colour after about 12 weeks.

_________________________________________

4.5 "Don't You Move A Muscle"

        Though seen less often with domestic cats, after three weeks, when the kittens have developed a degree of moment skills, the mother will change the location of her nest. She will find a new place and take the kittens there one by one. This she will grabbing each kittens by the scruff of its neck in the mouth and dropping it down unceremoniously in its new home. With domestic cats, there is never any real need to do this. It is the maternal instinct borne out of a wild cat's need to give birth in a totally secure, hidden environment and then, when they need to start hunting, take the kittens to a more accessible location. However, domestic cats will still do it, especially if they are being disturbed a lot by overeager children, flash photography and noise.

huhu... sori.. gambar scan buku :D

P/S : Tiny Troublemakers

         Feral or unsocialized kittens who are wary of human cantact need to be picked up by the
         scruff of the neck and then supported by their bottoms. In cat rescue centers in the USA, the
         more extreme version of kitten restraint is to "burrito" them -- i.e . wrap them firmly but
         gently in a towel so that their claws are not exposed while you begin interaction.

Info Tentang Lidah Kucing

Assalamualaikum..

hai korang.. aku stop jap sal cat body language k. Aku nak cite sal lidah kucing lak.. hehe
kenape aku nak cite sal lidah kucing ni? sebab aku ada terjumpa info pasal LIDAH (haiwan) n kena ada n kenapa ada yg takda lidah.. kalo korang perasan, semua haiwan ada lidah kecuali ikan. kenapa ikan je yang tade lidah? haa.. ni yang aku nak cite ni. tapi sebelum tu disebabkan blog aku ni cite sal kucing so aku nak tunjuk kat korang gambar2 lidah kucing dari jarak dekat.. kih3

INI ADALAH PETIKAN DARI SATU SUMBER YANG AKU AMIK..

1. "Hanya binatang bertulang punggung yang memiliki lidah. Walaupun lidah juga dimiliki oleh beberapa jenis hewan, tetapi bagi hewan, lidah tidak terlalu tajam mengenali rasa makanan. Atau, bahkan ada beberapa jenis hewan yang tidak dapat membedakan jenis makanan.

Pada beberapa jenis hewan, seperti kucing dan anjing, lidah juga digunakan untuk membersihkan tubuh mereka dari kotoran atau debu yang menempel di bulu-bulu mereka. Selain itu, jilatan lidah juga dapat digunakan untuk menunjukkan rasa sayang induk binatang terhadap anaknya.
"

P/S : Aku setuju dengan info ni.. huhu..


2. "Kucing dilengkapi dengan alat pembersih yang paling canggih, yaitu lidah dengan permukaan yang kasar yang bisa membuang bulu-bulu mati dan membersihkan bulu-bulu yang tersisa di badannya. Tidak aneh jika kucing suka meminum susu. Caranya menggunakan lidah dalam menjilat susu yang sangat sulit untuk digambarkan.

Ketika meraba lidah kucing, kita akan merasakan bahwa lidahnya ditutupi oleh berbagai benjolan yang berfungsi seperti gergaji. Sebagian orang mengira bahwa benjolan ini dipergunakan sebagai kantong kecil untuk membawa aliran susu ke mulut agar proses penelanan benlangsung sempuma. Akan tetapi, gambaran yang dapat kita ketahui sekarang ternyata tidak sama seperti fungsi lidah biasa."


3. " Menurut informasi yang saya dapat ternyata kucing itu lidahnya gak maksimal buat fungsi rasa-merasa makanan dan minuman karena lebih berfungsi untuk jilat-menjilat bulu kucing biar rapi. Kucing lebih menggunakan penciumannya yang tajam untuk merasakan makanan dan minuman yang dia konsumsi. Makanya dia selalu mencium makanan dan minuman yang dia mau masukkan ke mulut. Lidahnya kasar cocok untuk merapihkan bulu-bulunya dan membersihkan diri alias mandi kucing."



Okay, meh tgk gambar lidah kucing dari jarak dekat..










P/S : haaaa.. tudiaaa.. cam geli kan? huhu

Okay sekarang kita baca lak pasal kenapa ikan tade lidah?

Citenye cam ni... Salah seorang sahabat pun bertanya, “kenapa ikan tidak mempunyai lidah? ” Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w: ” Setelah Allah selesai menciptakan Adam a.s. Maka diperintahkan sekalian malaikat agar tunduk sujud kepadanya. Semua malaikat patuh pada perintah itu kecuali iblis laknat. Oleh kerana iblis enggan sujud, maka Allah melaknatnya serta mengusirnya keluar dari syurga dan dihapuskan rupanya yang elok itu lalu dihantar iblis itu ke bumi. Apabila diturunkan ke bumi, iblis terus menuju ke laut.

Pertama sekali yang dijumpai oleh iblis ialah ikan. Iblis pun menceritakan akan keburukan serta kekurangan Adam kepada ikan, katanya, “Sesungguhnya Adam itu amat suka memburu dan membunuh binatang-binatang yang ada di lautan dan juga di daratan”.

Apabila ikan mendengar kata-kata iblis itu ia pun segera menghebahkannya kepada binatang laut yang lain berita tentang Adam a.s. Oleh kerana Allah tidak menyenangi perbuatan ikan inilah lalu dihilangkannya lidah ikan agar tidak lagi dapat menyampaikan berita yang tidak sebenarnya.

P/S :Oleh itu, marilah Kita “jaga” lidah Kita supaya tidak hilang seperti lidah ikan. Berkatalah yang baik dan benar, kerana kata-kata yang baik itu adalah sedekah. Renung-renungkan dan selamat beramal.. daaaaa~~

Cat Body Language - 100 Ways To Read Their Signals..

EPISODE : 3

Assalamualaikum.. Haaa.. ari ni 1 Ramadhan.. Salam Ramadhan tuk semua... :D

Okay ari ni kite sambung lagi sal cat body language ye sume.. hehehe entry kali ni aku rasa macam best tuk lorang baca sebab benda ni anak-anak bulus kita salu wat.. huhu.. kalo korang tak caye, pas baca ni korang tgk anak-anak bulus korang.. huhu..

3.1 "Hi, And Here's My Smell."

       A cat's greeting is very familiar. First, it will rub the top of its head against you, followed by the sides of its body, and with a final flourish, the tail. One pass is often not enough, and the friendly cat will come back with the other side of its body to get a better impression. This initial contact from a cat often brings a response from cat-loving humans flattered by the attention, and they will reach down to stroke the cat--at which point the cat will rub its jaw into the stroking hand.


       Though humans may not realize it. they are being marked with scent. There are scent glands on a cat's head, along its jaw, and at the base of the tail, and all these careful rubs are putting the scent of the cat on the guest. In return, the cat will smell the fur it has rubbed against us to figure out what we smell like. The fact that we don't bother to check the cat's scent is lost on the feline world. Cats like to make their presence felt throughout the house and will rub against baskets, furniture, and door frames. They are not saying hello to these objects.
      
_________________________________________


3.2 "Why Do You Have To Be So Tall?"


       Cats would rather greet us nose to nose. It's the traditional cat greeting, after all. The fact that they can't is very frustrating to them, and they may occasionally get up on their hind legs to say hello when we come home. It's a vain attempt to get near our height and nuzzle. For this same reason, cats will often leap onto furniture to be closer to out height when we come through the door. They want to be able to say hello properly.


P/S : Making The Wrong Friends


        While dog owners have more control over their  
        animals, keeping them safe in the backyard 
        and walking them on leashes, the wandering cat can 
        make some very bad friends--especially a 
        male who has not been neutered . The unspayed   
        female will attract strange cats into the house 
        when they are in heat or may try and escape to be "where the boys are," while unneutered  
        tomcats will roam and bring home big veterinary bills after fights.


_________________________________________


3.3 "I Hope You Don't Mind If I.... ."



        Cats will sniff each other's rear ends in greeting just like dogs do, except in the feline world it's a far more wary process. Cats will greet each other nose to nose first, and rear if they are friendly, one cat will allow the other to sniff its rear end. Then the process is repeated. They are not like dogs, who will charged up for a mutual  sniff without any kind of preliminaries. It would be considered both a rude and aggressive move if a cat charged up for a sniff without any kind of engagement first. One of the reason for this wariness is that cats have a lot more "armaments" ready to show disapproval--such as sharp claws. In this case, The tricolored cat has been far too quick in getting to know the ginger cat, even though his tail is raised. The direct stare from him is confrontational.





P/S : Is Your Cat A Polydactyl?


         Though it sounds like a creature from Jurassic Park, a polydactyl cat is one extra toes--sometimes six
         sometimes as many as seven.


_________________________________________


3.4 "Hi There... ."


        Cats like to rub noses and make nose to nose contact when they greet someone. So the simple solution for cat lovers who want to reinforce the bond between cat and human is to meet their cat nose-on. It can also form part of a scent greeting, in which scents are rubbed off and exchanged between cat and human. In this instance, the boy has picked up the cat so it can say hello, but cats are even happier if you come down to their level. That way, they have more control of what they do next and don't have to resort to "I want to get down now"  actions to be let go.


P/S : Say It With Meows


         Cats will often adopt a softer version of their meow as a   
         "Hello" meow. This muted version helps distinguish it
          from the louder " I want food" meow or the "let me out   
          of the house" meow. Cats are far more sophisticated than dogs in expressing themselves vocally, and in
          some studies almost a hundred different vocal expression have been recorded in cats, compared to 
          under twenty in dogs.
      
_________________________________________


3.5 "You Smell Familiar, And I Never Forget A Nose."


       When they meet in a neutral zone, cats that know each other say hello by sniffing and rubbing. First comes the nose to nose sniffing, which is followed by a little bit of head rubbing, perhaps some flank rubbing, and maybe some anal sniffing to finish it off. This is usually done singly, with the more dominant cat being the first to sniff. It is also the more dominant of the two. Here two kittens, who know each other very well, meet outside.





huhu tamat tuk ari ni.. nanti kita sambung len k.. haa.. korg try perati anak-anak bulus korg.. dorg ade wat cam tu tak kat korang? kalo ade.. haaa... ape yg sumber ni btau kire betul la tuh.. hehehe sampai jumpe lagi.. daaaa~~!!!

Cat Body Language - 100 Ways To Read Their Signals..

EPISODE : 2


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~~

Cat Body Language - 100 Ways To Read Their Signals..

Salam..

 meh kite sambung lagi sal cara-cara mengenali body language anak-anak bulus.. hehe

1.3. " I don't like this. I sense danger!"
  



      Cats produce a caterwauling yowl in situations of extreme fearfulness. It's a low-pitched, mournful howl that varies in pitch. Cats yowl when they are about to confront another cat or execute an aggressive move. The yowl may start low and stay low as the two potential combatants give themselves a last-second chance to avoid a fight. As the pitch of the yowl rises, so the aggression commences. They can also yowl at vets, another situation of intense apprehension, locked as they are in their travelling carrier, surrounded by strange smells, and if they have prior experience with the vet - anticipating pain.



P/S : The Small Cat Drill

         Cats can be more expressive with their purrs than their big-cat cousins. Whereas a cat can create the 
         purr noise as it breathes in and out- "like it's drilling behind the sofa", as comedian Eddie Izzard 
         maintains-big cats such as lions and tigers can't. They can only produce the noise by moving air in a 
         single direction-outward-no matter how contended they are..

_________________________________________


1.4. "Aaaaiiiieeeeeee!!!"

        At the moment of conflict, when the caterwauling ceases and fighting starts, cats will let out ear-splitting, high-pitched screams that last only a fraction of a second but wake up neighborhoods. The scream is a moment of sheer terror, as this kitten is experiencing when it turns and sees the dog it has been placed next to.



P/S : Cat Lick Checklist

        Cats have their own licking and cleaning checklist and it's fascinating 
        for owners to see if their cat performs it in the same way each time. 
        The sequence is traditionally. Lick the paw and then rub it over one 
        side of the head. Lick the other paw and rub it over the other side of head. (Is your cat a lefty, a righty,
        or a don't-care-which-paw-first cat?) Lick Shoulders, lick front leg, lick side, lick genitals, lick hind legs, 
        and lick tail.

_________________________________________


1.5. "Sorry Mom, I thought this tree was easy. Now get me outta here!!"

         The cat cry is used to summon help in an emergency. An example of a typical emergency is when a kitten goes too far in exploring its boundaries-in this case, getting stuck halfway up a tree without the courage to turn around and climb down. It's a pitiful, expressive cry that is designed to bring parental help.
