| Finny: "I want to play with the goldfish too..." |
In a study done by the University of Georgia, it has been discovered that cats spend most of their nights hunting down small animals. This will be no surprise to people who own cats. Cats love to hunt down and play with little creatures like birds, rodents, and lizards.
The study was done by using kitty cams, small cameras attached to the cats' collars. The cameras recorded everything from the cats' point of view and showed researchers what exactly it is cats like to do all night. This is how they figured out that cats like to kill--a lot!
What is fascinating is that cats don't kill because they are hungry. In fact, the cats only ate 30 percent of the animals they killed, brought home 21 percent, and left the rest of their victims to rot on the ground. Cats kill things because they play them to death. Literally.
Cats also make an average of 2.1 kills per week, which adds up fast considering that there are 86.4 million house cats in America alone, and that doesn't include strays.
Male cats have proven to be more avid hunters than female cats, UGA also discovered. Finny agrees with this statement.

Sometimes funny pictures are created automatically, and now need a little time
to our own. The goal with a funny picture is to have the photograph
be almost a blank canvas for you to put the punch line on.
While almost every cat is a work of aesthetic beauty,
they are often animals that combine silliness and a fierce disposition.

The new tablet would be a further extension of

We realize that we don't need to listen to outside authorities; we are not guided by our internal authority. Thus they can choose from the many available sources.
