This snow-white cat with incredible eyes was born in March 2015 in America. Already after 3 months, Kobe’s owners decided to create a separate page on Instagram for him to share photos of this amazing cat. The owner of the kitten, at first, had to prove to almost everyone that Kobe’s eye color was natural, and not photoshop.
It is not surprising that many doubted, because if we proceed from genetics, then this eye color contradicts the white color of the cat’s fur. Kobe was supposed to be born with a silver coat, and his eyes are brown or yellow, but not blue. But still there is an explanation for such a metamorphosis.
At the moment, Kobe has more than 1.5 million followers on Instagram. This is just an incredible number for a cat page.
The profile is updated regularly with new photos from Kobe’s life. There are both cool photos with his participation, and more everyday ones.
The British blogger’s cat ran away every morning and disappeared for the whole day. The owner was curious where his pet was going. The man attached a small camera to the cat’s collar and by evening he finally recognized the routes of the furry traveler.
Chris Wright had recently moved to a new area and therefore was wary of the daily walks of his pet cat, Ralph. Once the cat was gone for a few days and Chris decided it would be a good idea to hang a camera on him along with a GPS tracker. Ralph got up every morning and left with such an air of importance that I decided to follow him.
I thought that suddenly my pet was doing some interesting things, the owner later said. As it turned out, the cat just liked to walk the streets. He was doing the usual things for all cats: he slept, played, ate plants and hunted a little. This is what his collar camera recorded: It’s funny that the cat did not run away from the owner’s yard, he just hid and behaved imperceptibly. Why, only he knows.
The owner decided to test how her cats would react to an optical illusion in the form of a funnel on the floor.
At first, the animals approached the sticker without much interest, but then the woman turned on the video recording: the illusion provoked an unexpected reaction in the cats and forced them to take action. Cats distinguish between optical illusions almost like humans, but without critical evaluation.
This spring, cognitive ethologist Gabriela Smith conducted a study and proved that cats are able to at least perceive the visual illusion of a square: they climb into it as if in a real box. Therefore, the mistress of two domestic cats decided to check how her pets would perceive a more complex illusion. She pasted a picture of a sinking funnel onto the floor. The cats took turns approaching the sticker and each sat within it for a while. Neither seemed to be very interested.
However, then the illusion somehow provoked them to take action, which was caught on camera: This interesting experiment allows us to take a different look at the visual type of perception of cats. It can also help in studying the behavioral characteristics of these animals.
It turns out friendship happens not only between people, but also between animals. On the Internet, a young man named Taras distributed an interesting video where a kitten is friends with chickens. Many believe that cats and chickens cannot live in harmony. Although cats have hunting instincts, they are able to get along with many other pets, even tame rats and hamsters. Especially if they grew up together.
The cat behaved surprisingly calmly with chickens, and they were not afraid to come closer. Feeling that nothing threatened them, the chickens approached the cat and sat next to it. One of them even climbed onto her back, but the cat not only did not throw him off, but even sat down so that he suddenly did not fall. Most animals are not devoid of emotions and feelings.
Being amazingly kind creatures, they are able to show help, friendship and love. Such relationships in themselves are not uncommon, and their manifestations are amusing and touching for us. It is not entirely clear what can connect a cat and a chicken, but there are many examples when these creatures get along well with each other. How sweet it is when a little chicken sees a kindred spirit in a cat, and in a cat “maternal feelings wake up.”
But next to a person, such friendship is not such a rare occurrence. Firstly, these are already pets, partly their natural instincts are suppressed, and secondly, such friendships are often born under control. But with chickens, ducklings, and especially with parrots, cats are friends quite often. How did it happen? Sometimes they are brought together by random circumstances, but most often the initiator of such friendship is a person. If you think about it, then after all, a person knows very little about animals, more precisely about their intellect and emotions. Science says that animals only act on instinct, but who knows, maybe that’s not always the case. Examples of friendship between different types of animals are an example of kindness and care, not instincts. In theory, a cat should not be friends with clowns.
Despite the fact that a crisis is raging in the country, life goes on as usual in the American outback, and this is exactly life – new and bright. A resident of Irvington, Alabama, Shia Pryor noticed a gray stray cat in her yard. She gave it some food and remarked how affectionate the animal was. And then something else came up that made Shaya act very quickly.
Such a beauty came to the yard and asked for food
Upon closer examination, it turned out that the cat was lactating! And desperately needed food to produce milk. Of course, Shaya fed her to satiety, but she understood that these were half measures. She started talking to the cat, convincing her to trust and bring the kittens. The woman promised to take care of them and even showed a box of cloths that could be used as a den. And it worked – the cat believed her!
Two days later, the gray beauty returned with fluffy lumps!
And the most daring, stretching out his tail, even approached the outstretched hand!
Shaya, as promised, took care of all the kittens. Each was examined by a veterinarian, received treatment and they have already found future families where the kittens will go when they grow up.
Shaya decided to keep the cat and two kittens for herself. Because of the coronavirus, she lost her job in the office and will now be engaged in gardening, which means that mousers are needed to guard the future harvest. And the rescued kittens will perfectly cope with this task!
All animals face situations in their life when understanding the owner is extremely important. And the most interesting thing is that animals have the ability to understand human speech and even, if necessary, can speak. Such a story happened to the cat Yakov, when a tramp climbed onto the owner’s balcony.
Yakov, like a faithful master’s cat, decided to defend his position, and quickly drove the impostor away. But then there was another trouble. The balcony door slammed shut and the cat was locked in.
Here the cat had no choice but to speak like a human being and ask him to open the door in order to quickly solve a difficult situation.
Gaining a large number of views the first time on the Internet is a huge success. Not everyone succeeds, but Sabrina Bernatchez did it. She posted a video on the TikTok service in which she filmed treating a big red cat with ice cream.
The animal discovered this delicacy for the first time! And his facial expressions could be the envy of any professional actor. At first, the cat experiences curiosity, which then gives way to sincere rejection. True, it is not clear what exactly the hero of the video did not like – sweetness or coldness. Either way, the video has over 300,000 views. That’s what it means to be able to select the right content and guess the interests of users!
The little cat was only six days old. She was left without a mother and would have died if a kind person had not taken her to the vet. She weighed only 50 grams! Can you imagine how small she was? A normal newborn kitten weighs twice as much.
Despite her tiny body, she fought desperately for life. The veterinarian joked that the kitten had a warrior spirit. The kitten needed special care. As a result, she was left without maternal care. As a rule, kittens that do not drink their mother’s milk have very low immunity and can easily get sick and die.
Fortunately, in the USA there is a special fund for saving kittens in a crisis situation. The cat nurse enrolled this girl in a charity program. The baby was placed in a special incubator, maintained at a normal temperature and given antiviral drugs. They also made a special jumper for her to keep her warm and dry.
Thanks to caring care, she is now gaining weight. A few days later it was already bigger. On day 16, she weighed 143g, normal weight for a one week old kitten.
Caring for kittens is a very painstaking task and, in addition to feeding, includes cleaning the eyes, ears and teeth, combing the coat, and bathing. In this case, it is necessary to use only special tools and tools that can be purchased at a pet store. You also need to take care of timely vaccinations to protect your pet from dangerous diseases. The cat really wanted to live, so every time she was given milk, she greedily grabbed the bottle with her teeth and continued to drink until her tummy was full. The baby was eating hard and growing. After two months, the baby had grown significantly, but was still very small compared to her peers. The kitten fits in a pocket. She grows up very playful, likes to hide, and then suddenly jump up and attack. She is the same as all kittens at her age.
By the way, this kitten was given the unusual name of the Settler. We hope that soon she will find a loving owner and grow well.
A student at a music school made the decision to sing more frequently at home. Only a few verses of her song could be heard before a cat unexpectedly appeared, sat down in front of the microphone, and demonstrated how it should be done. Along with studying, Maura sings in an opera company. Just before the concert that night, the girl learnt her part and practiced. True, it didn’t work out for a while, but practically right away Maximino the cat emerged in the frame. He took over the solo role entirely. The cat didn’t just mumble; it hit the notes hard and even maintained the rhythm.
After first attempting to stop the animal, Maura was moved by his skills and kept recording videos. In a brief video, Maximino demonstrates truly exceptional solo data: The majority of the noises that cats make were devised expressly for human communication. It is not shocking that the singer’s pet imitates her speech.
Maria bought a kitten from a flea market. An anomaly was discovered after a month of observation: The cat had become excessively large.
For the first time in almost a year, the animal seemed to be protesting quietly in the late hours.
Compared to other cats, Barsik was a typical feline. He yearned for food and sleep more than any of the other cats left. Maria kept a journal of this over a period of growth.
After that, the cat began to mature. He weighed 10 kg at the age of one. 15 pounds later, he had grown to approximately 1 1/2 meters in length, six months after the event.
Yes, he consumes a lot of food. Whatever the case may be, we’ll find a way to deal with it. Even though it was late in the evening, I was annoyed by Barsik’s scowls.
Maria described him as if he were not a cat, but rather a wolf. However, they have already begun to investigate the kind of dog that snarls at the door in the dark.
