I learned this week that cats have strange relationships with water. Cats often don't realize they are thirsty. However, cats' kidneys worked extremely efficiently compared to other mammals. Even if a cat drank seawater, its kidneys could filter the salt out of the water.
If a person did the same, he would die of dehydration. The cats taste the water. Water is tasteless for us, right? But for a cat, water had a taste. Being able to taste water, which is a common feature with dogs, is realized by the extra receptors in these animals' tongues. Another interesting fact is that cats prefer moving water instead of still water.
According to experts, this behavior was a result of cats having evolved while living in the wild, realizing that stagnant water could harbor more harmful bacteria. If you have a cat and he's not drinking water, I'd say try getting him a cat fountain like this one.
In order not to burn your hand, hot coffee sold in cardboard cups in places like Starbucks is put on a ring made of cardboard again, so his name is envelope. This is the name used all over the world. Envelope!
In 1993, in France, the picture of the hero in the book The Little Prince was printed on the 50-franc banknote along with the picture of its author, Saint-Exupéry. I liked it very much, probably because we are used to seeing historical personalities with serious eyes on almost all coins around the world.
In 1998, a woman living alone with a dog and a pig at her home in America started having a heart attack. He tried to shout a little, toss the alarm clock out of the window to get someone's attention and make noise, but nobody heard him. Realizing that there was a problem, the dog started barking, but no one came or went. Thereupon, the woman's pig named Lulu found a way, got out of the house and ran to the road and started to pretend to be dead in front of the passing cars.
He caught the attention of a pig man who was injured while he was forced out of the house and pretended to be dead at that moment. Seeing the woman who had a heart attack, the man immediately called the emergency room and the woman's life was saved. We often see animals as robots, but they can understand things and perhaps feel more than we do.
The word spam, which is now widely used in the Internet world, was the name given to a poor quality ham that people got tired of eating during the famine of World War II.
My favorite animals are cats.
