        Working on making friends with their mother and older brother is a lot more manageable, so I now have time again to run the place and troll other places. Need to get back to the weights and posting science articles, though.
        MM was right about toxoplasmosis. Virtually all cats have it and then infect their owners. You then get costs in your brain which changes your personality. True story, bro.

          If you've ever wondered who's in control, you or your cat, a new study points to the obvious. It's your cat. - See more at: http://www.livescience.com/5556-cats....1iGkHqDS.dpuf


          also

          Cats kill billions of birds every year and even more tiny rodents and other mammals in the United States alone, a new study finds.

          According to the research, published today (Jan. 29) in the journal Nature Communications, cats kill between 1.4 billion and 3.7 billion birds and between 6.9 billion and 20.7 billion small mammals, such as meadow voles and chipmunks.

            That's racist. My cats have never killed and birds are anything. They don't even kill bugs.

              You need a pet cam, to see what they are doing in their free time.

              One of mine even managed to bring home a swallow!?!

                I've been meaning to. I'm sure they are very good though. They aren't always nice to each other though.

                  Our cats are killing machines. Lizards, snakes, birds, mice/rats, moths, grasshoppers ... they kill pretty much everything smaller than them. One of them goes up in the rafters and then makes bird calls.

                        Here is something fascinating.
                        There is a brain bug.

                        Rewind.

                        Rats have genetic memories that identify from birth cat urine as life threatening (because there are good chances where there is cat urine there is a cat and the cat is deadly to the rat).

                        Now this brain bug can alter the neurosynapses of the rat's brain rewiring it, so it thinks that cat urine is enticing.

                        The rat goes to it, the cat eats it and the brain bug occupies a larger host...
