Kitty Claws

Dennis

A photo of Shyna´s claws and her scratching ball. I never wanted to cut her claws like some cat owner do. I think cat´s simply have claws by nature and I don´t really want to cut (declaw) them as I think it is somewhat silly. I mean if I want to have a cat, then I simply know that this kind of pets have blade sharp claws. I always thought the only thing I would need to do is to teach my cat that she does not have to destroy furnishings and so and this is possible. I was able … Continue reading Kitty Claws

In the case of the couch, it is really sometimes a problem as I have to remove all the hairs and this is not easy. I do often comb her hair but she loses some anyway. Continue reading Couch Cat

Oh and if you are nosy how the original photo looked like before editing, here it is… Continue reading Kitty On The Folding Ladder

Initial Cat Domestication Possibly Begun In China Rather Than In Egypt

Dennis

Today cats are very common and popular pets but this leads also to the interesting question when the relationship between cats and humans started. Then there is the term domestication which means the further consolidation of the relationship in form of a close life together which we would call “keeping animals” or “keeping pets” today. The question when the relationship or even the further domestication of cats started is an interesting issue. Scientists try to answer this question since a long time but it is not easy as ancient cat remains are rare discoveries in archaeological sites. The last scientific … Continue reading Initial Cat Domestication Possibly Begun In China Rather Than In Egypt
