  • How do cats find their way back?

    My 19 years old niece had a terrible fight some months ago with her mother, sos he moved her grandmothers house (the house of my mother)
    Yesterday my mother called me because the niece attacked her, hit her, and destroyed the paintings on the walls.

    Anyway, the issue is when I arrived I found out the house was a mess, the floor was full of shattered glass, my niece was in her room, door locked.
    Later I went downstairs to open the door for her father (who lived 40 kilometers aways but I made him come in the middle of the night because of what had happened) and when I open the door the house cat, who was very nervous because of the situation, escapes, and runs as if he were being chased by a doberman till he gets lost in the horizon.

    I thought I would never see the cat again, but then he somehow managed to return, 20 hours later,, this is a dense city made of bricks, with avenues and highways, not suburbs with gardens or the countryside.
    The cat managed to get back into the house, and in order to do that he had to do some very heavy climbing, and somehow find his way through many houses and apartment buildings in order to get back into my house. He also had to find the way back home, since he run at least 300 meters behind the train rails. And avoid being run over by a car.

    How do they avoid getting lost? do they sense their geographic position? or do they make some kind of calculation like sailors with the height of the sun and the stars?

    My mother also told me that when she was small, she had a cat who got pregnant, she had her babies all over her neighbours blankets, the neighbour got mad becuase of the ruined blankets, threw the cat and her babies into a stream, and the cat somehow managed to return home after 6 months.

    There was a documentary on this in the 1990s.

          I think a more pressing problem is deciding what criminal charges to impose on this niece.

                De boer, die zwoer hem blou:
                Hij zou die kat doodskiet,
                Hij had zijn hoos gelaan.
                Met kruit en dynamiet,
                Hij lei die kat hem voor
                Den weg die hij moest kom

                En de volgende morgen: velletjes en beentjes, maar...

                Die kat kwam weer,
                Die kon nie langer wach,
                Die kat kwam weer de volgende dag
                Die kat kwam weer
                Geloof me het is waar
                De volgende dag was die kat weer daar!


                Hij zet hem op een skip
                Dat zeilde naar Ceylon
                Die skip die was gelaan
                Met twaalf duizend ton,
                Maar verre van dit land
                Daar is die skip gestrand

                En alle matrozen verdronk, maar...

                De boer, die zet die kat
                Toen in een aeroplaan
                Die derailleerde toen
                Tegen een wollekie aan
                De boel die viel omlaag
                Bleef steken in een haag

                Brak armen, nek en beene, maar...

                De boer, die zet die kat
                Toen op de schoorsteen neer
                Die kat, die viel omlaag
                En deed zich vreselijk zeer
                De kat, die viel in 't vuur
                Verbrandde binnen 't uur.

                En de volgende morgen as en botjes, maar...

                Die boer die draag die kat,
                Toen op een hoog gebouw,
                En gooi hem naar beneen,
                Met een ferme dou,
                De man die'm op hem krijg,
                Wor plat gelijk een vijg,

                Twaalf vaderloze kindertjes, maar...

                Die boer die bond die kat,
                Die pootjes net tesaam,
                En lei het beestje toen,
                Op de railtjes van den tram,
                Het trampje liep van spoor,
                En brak te midden door,

                Stukkies glas en hout en ijzer, maar...

                Toen stak die boer die kat,
                In een heel groot kanon,
                Die schot die werd gelaan,
                Met zesenvijftig ton,
                Die schot viel ver van huis,
                En sloeg de stad in gruis,

                Kerken, scholen, huizen en hopies puin, maar...

                Toen het die boer die kat,
                In duizend stuk gekap,
                En steek dan ieder stuk,
                Apartjes in een graf,
                Hij stamp die boel goed aan,

                Maar als hij slaap dan, Droom hij altijd weer van ...

                          Cats are smart and in command

                          With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
