It's Caturday! Bitsy Kitty finds a nice perch on the arm of my wide recliner

Before I went out for my November 1st #run I had a thought that I'll see a lot of #BlackCats , guess what? I saw 11 black #cats during my run! Spooky! 🤪😝🤣

But, Greater is He who is in me than he who is in this world. So, they're just ordinary cats for me. 🪽

Toby can't believe you did that

Can cats associate human words with images? A study suggests they might.

From Earth.com: "The study builds upon earlier research that suggested cats could discern when humans called their names, and even recognize photos of familiar people."

It's Caturday!

"Cats may seem solid, but they’re actually somewhat liquid — at least according to one 2017 theoretical physics paper inspired by videos of cats squeezing under doors, into tight vases and down narrow crevices. Now, one researcher has taken this idea a step further, physically testing dozens of cats to see when they act more like liquids or solids." 🐈

Science News reports: "Cats are tough to test in a lab, so researchers brought the lab to the cats."

Hats off to these cats. Researchers from the University of Montreal have created a first-of-its-kind electrode-lined crochet beanie that can be used to measure a cat’s brain activity. This marks what’s believed to be the first known example of EEG recording in conscious cats. Plus, the clever caps are stylish. @PopularScience has more: https://flip.it/M0y87q

Evolution of a cat's nickname...

Bumpus
Whumpus
Scrumpus whumpus

And that's where we're at today. He is the scrump

Our second cat, Riku, was a street-cat before he went into the shelter system, we're almost certain.

For example, when we first got him he was afraid of rooms with tall ceilings - being out in the open was dangerous in his experience.

He was also very obviously dealing with food insecurity. He was mildly aggressive towards anyone coming near his food. We also had to get an RFID-activated feeder for the other cat because she grazes throughout the day and he would eat whatever was left out. He always finished every meal, no matter what.

But just recently, he's started leaving himself a snack for later. He's finally confident enough about his food to leave some out. He knows it well be there, and there will be more later.

Warms my heart
