cat

And she's VERY afraid to use it. We have just found out that our 10-year old cat is diabetic. He came back with blood glucose levels of 460. The vet is fairly calm, but Blue here now gets to shoot up the cat every evening. The vet showed us how last night, and it doesn't appear that the cat...

In Quantum superposition, the particle collapses the wavefuction into one state when observed? Is the particle real in two or more states at the same time, or is it in a state we don’t know until we observe.

I heard a snippet yesterday on the radio about someone having been able to make beryllium electrons/something or other simultaneously coexist in different states. Is this so? Is this a significant new find for QM and the uncertainty principle? What are the woo implications? - will they use...

For some time, there has been a debate on this board over the definition of species. hammegk has taken a common sense point of view. "A dog is a dog, a cat is a cat." He also believes that evolution may not be able to account for macro-evolution. Let's say these lists of letters are a...

Can anyone explain what organ/system/structure/process is responsible for the feline "purr"? Any diagrams/photos to show this? It seems to be independant of respiratory phase or larynx (voice) usage. Why? How does it get varied from soft to loud at (the cat's) will? I once heard that cats...

Is it true that cat fleas will not transfer to humans? I have a friend whose cat has contracted fleas. She was pregnant at the time, and there was a question of fleas treatments harming the kittens. Now she has had the kittens, four healthy, and one who died(five total), and it just tears me up...

In the most recent acupuncture thread, there has been talk about how bad a catbite is. Six months ago, it was (foolishly) decided that we should bathe our then-kittens to prepare them for their first trip to the vet. The third kitten in line, our dear little Stretch, the Betrayer, decided that...

I know that many people may already have heard this particular debate, but I only recently came upon it through a news station. Apparently Wisconsin was considering making it legal to shoot an uncollared feline. The reason behind this was simple, cats kill birds. Apparently whatever...

Or is it Pyewicket? So the Pendraggons were fantastic. I had read a few magic books, still could not figure out most things. They did a saw the woman in half in a GLASS COFFIN (plexiglass?) and there is NO WAY this could be done. I was looking at her feet the entire time. No way... Then...

Too weird, video also--> http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/strange/news-article.aspx?storyid=33749 Burn the witch! No word on one-faced catwomen yet....:(

Ok everyone, I've decided to revive my old debate, by presenting to you all my findings on the metaphysical (or immaterial). This is kind of a "thought experiment" previously presented by me in the JREF Philosophy forums a couple years ago.. unforunately those few, very long threads are lost...

Since food is art, this is the forum closest to my following observation. I have recently acquired a cat. Although I have had a dog for many years (an aging pug), I never noticed the difference between the way cat food is labeled versus dog food. Dog food is "manly" - Snausages, Chuck Wagon...

Will someone please explain to me the benefit to society in cloning pets? Sure, a pet owner is devastated when little Toby passes away. But do you really need to clone another little Toby for $50,000? Just go by the local pet store, or better yet the local animal shelter, and pick out an...

I look, and I look and I look, but I see no 'black cat'. Cassini image Am I suffering from "anti-pareidolia"?

My family adopted 2 cats semi-recently and am puzzled by certain behavoirs. The male cat totally dominates the female cat (both are neutered) almost all the time. He aggresively chases her off, constantly, and she flees post haste. The only exception is when there is food present, at which...

"As dangerous as an atomic bomb", apparently. Although obviously not literally so; I'm sure we'd have noticed earlier if hospitals started vapourising in colossal explosions. However, now we have MRI scans, I'm curious as to why we're still using X-Rays for this sort of thing anyway. Is the CAT...

this is just plain weird. Um... what? Oooookay.....

This cloing stuff is getting serious. I wonder if the cats will hold up or turn into genetic disease bags. Of cousre I wouldnt mind perpetually cloning my cat, "Knox the Czar of Mousers"!! The current Knox has a bionic leg thanx to his street crossing recklessness. Fixing him wanst cheap...

I'm a dog person myself but my daughter started bawling her eyes out when I told her she couldn't have a cat........so I wound up giving in. I'd like to get one of those cat-sized doors designed to go through the wall of the house---no electronics or anything like that.. My one concern...

What is it about Australia that it seems to have more than its fair share of the truly bizarre? http://theaustralian.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,8452832%5E1702,00.html

From the book of 180 Amazing Cat Facts. We picked it up at from the grocery checkout line to have some fun at work. A co-worker stumbled across this gem today: Some believe that cats have the ability to see human auras - the energy field many psychics believe surround the body. And cats may...

Cornish cat captured on video. Meow!

Stimpy continually claims that he is a materialist/physicalist, but that neither ontology or metaphysics play any role in his particular version of physicalism. There is a simple disproof of this. In order to be a physicalist you necessarily must believe Consciousness supervenes on the...
