Atheist Cats 8 years, 5 months agoSomeone tell me how to insert a Youtube video as Davis did. I don’t see the option. As such, here’s a LINK to a video where you can hear a mountain lion scream.

Atheist Cats 8 years, 5 months agoThe American big cat, the mountain lion (cougar, puma, panther, catamount), is said to be the largest cat who purrs. They don’t have a roar, but rather a scream or howl. BTW, according to some classifications it’s the biggest of the small cats (because it purrs?), which is silly because it’s about the same size as a leopard and can kill full grown…[Read more]

Atheist Cats 8 years, 5 months agoQuick and somewhat informative. Cheetahs, for example, have very nice purrs

Atheist Cats 8 years, 5 months ago@unseen oh yes, it’s indeed soothing for us humans – in fact the same study that is looking into the healing frequency of purrs is looking at the effect of 25MgHz vibrations on humans to establish if it also assists our healing. Wouldn’t that be something!?

@unseen Some wild cats purr too. Apparently, the cats that purr can’t roar, and those that can roar can’t purr. The purring is currently being studied as potentially a healing activity. The idea is that the frequency helps bones and cuts to heal much faster!I have heard that. Interesting. Still, I don’t think there’s much doubt tha…[Read more]

Atheist Cats 8 years, 5 months agoThanks, that is really interesting. It does seem like “attachment” is probably the main function.

Atheist Cats 8 years, 5 months agoAnyone who knows cats knows that cats, when they do anything, do it because they fucking well feel like doing it.

Maybe this is it. The mummy cat and the kitten purr to each other to show that they are happy and feeling good. Therefore, the reason for purring is bonding between mot…[Read more]

Atheist Cats 8 years, 5 months agoOn October 23rd I finally overcame my cowardice and got another rescue cat (why do they always die too soon?). OMG! This one is a pistol, a snowball with pink ears, a dive-bomber and toe-biter, only one year old and guilty of terminal cuteness. Already I am fearing the loss of this beautiful creature who, unaccountably, seems to love me a whole…[Read more]

That’s so sweet, Private! I think that cats are usually fairly indestructible, because they’re mostly mongrels. My mum just had a little long-haired white cat move in, she just came in lost out of nowhere, and for the first year she was there, she was the happiest cat you’ve ever seen. Apparently she has Maine Coon because she is very friendly…[Read more]

Atheist Cats 8 years, 9 months agoLil’Shit (the cat that calls me Daddy), just brought in another rodent (a vole) I put it and Him outside on the front porch where He then consumed It, disgusting!
Last week He left a headless Bunny in the hallway, even more disgusting!!!
No doubt about it, He’s a KILLER! -

Atheist Cats 8 years, 9 months agoNot a good week. Had to put down my darling little rescue cat, with whom I had only two years. Inflammatory bowel disease is a bummer. She also had PTSD, which stressed her immune system. Best cat ever.
However, I also have a relationship with a wild bird, off-and-on during the winter when the tree outside my window loses its leaves, and…[Read more]
