How attached cats are to their owners?

Let it out mother yar, let it out.

This is pretty funny for a lot of reasons, the biggest being all the people involved are so obviously not cat owners nor have they even bothered to understand cat behaviour.

First of all, the snarky comments at the end of the video, actually, it's not about wanting to believe my cat needs me, I'm very well aware it doesn't need me, that has no correlation to loving me. I appreciate that's just the person writing this script but it puts an underlining tone that cat owners are delusional and sets people up to believe the experiment was a "success", even with the little bite about it not being conclusive.

Not all cats are the same, the beauty of them is precisely their individuality! Breed also plays a very large factor and so does upbringing, not to mention social behaviour of the animal in question. Let's ignore that cats are evolutionarily independent and dogs/babies are not.

Why would a cat care if its owner left momentarily? It is not built to care about such a frivolous event, it takes notes of it (which btw, no other animal was capable of and the narrator incorrectly says the cat is distracted while it distinctly watching the owner leave) and carries on, the situation pans out.

Likewise when the owner comes back, the cat again takes note of this and because it was rather brief, it resumes carrying on its business. This wasn't some "OH MY GOD WHAT DO I DO WITH MY LIFE!??!?!" drastic event. Quite frankly, the cat has the most intelligent behaviour.

The reason it check outs the stranger is because it's an *unknown*, cats don't immediately trust *anything* until they've inspected it. If they had replaced that stranger with a paper bag, the reaction would have been the same. It's not that it is ignoring its owner, it's that it knows its owner is safe. It is inspecting a potential threat.

Cats are simply not basic enough to compare in this experiment and their evolutionary traits are directly opposed to these rather bias tests of affection.

Criminal Arrest Warrant Issued For Dick Cheney in Nigeria

bcglorf says...

Almost enough to get Nigeria some respect, it's about time someone showed some principals regarding world leaders that eagerly trample human rights. Go Nigeria!!!


Oh, wait. On October 23, 2009, Omar al-Bashir was invited to Nigeria by President Umaru Yar'Adua for another AU meeting, and was not arrested. So Nigeria isn't taking a bold stand against convicted human rights abusers. They're just singling out an American one, while openly welcoming others. I don't think that exactly warrants a happy tag...

Undercover Karaoke with Jewel

Deano says...

I have heard of her but I'm not sure she's ever been so mega-successful that I could name one of her songs. I think I heard a poppy one a few years ago and felt it was so-so. Still, an enjoyable bit of marketing I guess.

I did karoake once in Cyprus. After 18 southern comfort and cokes. It was not pretty.

Where do you stand on HCR without a public option? (Politics Talk Post)

ReverendTed says...

Do you really want to ask this? You just know some right-wing nutjob like myself is going to give his opinion, and then it's gonna get all political up in h'yar.

Or maybe I'll just echo dag. I like the cut of his jib.

(P.S. Dag: Pls send more pictures of your jib, thx.)

Thanks man, I'm finally finding time and energy to attempt at a few sifts every now and then. Just got a kitten, so that's got me a little busy and entertained, but work isn't as busy (double-edged sword, that), so I have a bit of free time once again, lol. How have you been doing?
