I'm not sure but isn't it strange the way they just suddenly look up and stare at the ceiling for a few seconds.

What has caught their attention and what are they staring at ????

I told you Kizzy it has no teeth,it does love a good old stroke though I often hear it purring:wink::evilgrin:I try to stoke it every day otherwise it gets ancy:devil:

I've noticed this too.

They just stare intently for minutes on end even though there's nothing tangible there. Weird.

Chuffing hell Kaz that must hurt like hell. :shocked:

Its not complained yet:devil:

You've never heard of the 2004 tsunami?

I don't remember it. I was 14 or 15.

I was younger than that.. but it's not about age, you should know it anyway, it's one of the deadliest natural disasters in history and happened so recently. It's like not knowing about 9/11

Well done. Have a medal for remembering it. I didn't that's why I asked so leave your holier than thou attitude out of it.

I wasn't trying to be rude, I'm just gobsmacked you didn't know

I honestly don't remember it. I remember of a tsunami that ripped into Japan but I couldn't tell you when or where. If that makes me an ignorant ***** then I'm sorry Salman I really am.

I'm gobsmacked you can't understand stu...
Maybe your knowlege of contemporary issues doesn't stretch to extending your vocabulary?
We all have our cross to bear.

Alright calm down everyone, I'm sure Salman wasn't trying to start anything.

Just to add I think the 2 most recent disasters following the 2004 tsunami was hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the tsunami in Japan in 2011.
Those two stick in my memory.

Infanticide - Animals that eat their own young.

What about that, does it have relevance here?

Psychic cats, butsecks, incest, the Tsunami, vagina innuendo and now infanticide? I swear, this thread has it all.

Rather than ESP, I think animals' instincts are highly developed, so much so that we (humans) don't really comprehend it so give it a magical explanation. I hope this comment doesn't interfere with the sniping, smart-arsing and pussy jokes.

I'll have you know that the old eating their young is serious business!!

Well that depends is your comment classed as sniping or smart-arsing?
No matter, I understand your point.
Animals if have too many young to feed can devour a few, it's not anything to do with ESP though.

I actually don't think that human instincts are any less developed than those of any other animal; at least there is no biological explanation for why they would be. However, the human condition lends itself to, and even encourages, the suppression of those instincts to the point that most adult humans have very few left. I mean... In some (most?) "modern" western families, infants have their instincts drummed out of them almost from birth.

Even something as basic as fight-or-flight, humans are encouraged to just swallow.

more relevance than half the other stuff that was posted tbh :laugh:

-spiffing-

I like to think of my threads like a train journey. We start off in Serious land and over the course of our trip we make our way nicely to Sillyville.

All aboard! :dance:

:laugh:

Don't you laugh you never paid for your ticket! :devil:

Is it like a fun sandwich, serious then a slice of fun and then serious again?
I love fun sandwiches! :eek:

This is the end of the line now I'm afraid people, everybody off

Awww

I bought a return ticket :idc:

:laugh2:

This train cannot be derailed! ...
:hmph:

I thought of something else whilst I was at work.. My sister's dogs always know when my brother in law is on his way home. I didn't believe it at first, but they definitely do. For about 20 minutes before he arrives, they get restless and get up on the back of the couch and look out the living room window, whining and wagging their tails. My sister always knows when he's on his way :)

My cat definitely notices when anyone in the house is sad. When I was going through a bout of depression she would come and sleep on my lap during the day and sleep on the end of my bed at night and would sit with me for hours on end. She normally sleeps downstairs. I think they're just as aware of hormonal imbalances as humans are; but a human would come and give you a hug and say nice things if they could tell you were sad; a cat can't do that so they express it by being friendlier than usual.

A lot of animals can detect atmospheric-related changes as part of their hunting or survival strategy too; with better hearing for example or are more susceptible to feeling tremors.

So wish I had a cat :( if I'm hopefully am able to get my own place in like 6-7 years I'm so getting one

Get a dog! Lol

My cat genuinely doesn't give a s**t about me, or my mood.

He's probably pissed that you gave him a girls name tbh

He senses you're an utter **** that's why!

I know I can always rely on you two for that morale boosting pep talk.
