Cats and Their Allure: What, When, Where and Why Katte og Deres Allure: Hvad, hvornår, hvor og hvorfor

Domesticated cats have been gaining in popularity in the United States. Domesticerede katte har vundet i popularitet i USA. It is projected that by the year 2010 there will be far more cats than dogs. Det forventes, at inden år 2010 vil der være langt flere katte end hunde. Noted for their independence, cats can also be loving and loyal to their owners. Bemærkes for deres uafhængighed, katte kan også være kærlige og loyale over for deres ejere. They adjust well to indoor living, take great care in grooming themselves, and are easily trained to use a cat box. De justere såvel til indendørs lever, tage stor omhu i pleje sig selv, og er let uddannet til at bruge en kat kassen. Cats, when they're not asleep, are observers. Katte, når de er ikke i søvn, er observatører. They stare into corners and spend hours sitting in windowsills. De stirre ind i hjørner og bruge timer på mødet i windowsills. They don't bark, they don't whine; they purr. De ikke bark, de ikke jamre, og de purr. Occasionally, they scold. Lejlighedsvis, de dadle.

Cats are also predatory, and some are very good mousers. Katte er også aggressiv, og nogle er meget gode mousers. In a flourishing society of condominiums and high-rise apartment buildings, many landlords ban dogs and accept cats. I et blomstrende samfund af boliger og høje boligkomplekser, mange udlejere forbyde hunde og acceptere katte. One building manager puts it like this: "As long as the cat doesn't wander through the halls and annoy others, I don't see any problem." Én bygning leder udtrykker det sådan: "Så længe katten ikke vandre gennem sale og irritere andre, jeg kan ikke se noget problem."

Cats, more than any other mammal, exhibit similar attributes and actions, no matter if they are wild or tame. Katte, mere end nogen andre pattedyr, udviser lignende egenskaber og handlinger, uanset om de er vilde og tamme. Lions, tigers, leopards, wild cats, panthers, and house cats look similar and act very much alike--they are all predatory, nocturnal, fastidious, and defensive, but the domesticated cat is much smaller than its wild relatives. Løver, tigre, leoparder, vilde katte, Panthers, og hus katte ligner og fungerer meget ens - de er alt for aggressiv, natlig, ivrig, og defensiv, men den tamme kat er meget mindre end sine vilde slægtninge. How did the wild cat first become domesticated, and where did it happen? Hvordan har vildkat første bliver tamme, og hvor skete det?

Origin of Cats Oprindelsen af Cats

Looking back to the Late Eocene epoch (43.6 to 36.6 million years ago), it has been discovered that the "cat pattern" was already well established in the evolution of modern mammals. Ser man tilbage til Late Eocene epoke (43,6 - 36,6 millioner år siden), er det blevet opdaget, at "kat mønster" var allerede godt etableret i udviklingen af moderne pattedyr. The earliest cats were easily recognizable as the ancestors of present-day felines. De tidligste katte var let genkendelig som forfædrene til nutidens kattefamilien. Other mammals had not yet evolved into a recognizable form. Andre pattedyr endnu ikke havde udviklet sig til en genkendelig form. Typical cats (subfamily Felinae) appeared about 10 million years ago and have changed very little since that time. Typiske katte (subfamily Felinae) syntes omkring 10 millioner år siden og har ændret sig meget lidt siden da.

The Anatomy of the Cat Anatomien af kat

Why is it that cats are able to curl up on the narrowest ledges, squeeze under the smallest spaces, or disappear at will when they sense an intrusion. Hvorfor er det, at katte er i stand til at krølle op på den snævrest ledges, klemme under den mindste rum, eller forsvinde efter behag, når de forstand en indtrængen. The anatomy of the cat gives it great elasticity. Anatomien af katten giver det stor elasticitet. It has a flexible spine and uses its tail and inner ear to maintain balance. Den har et fleksibelt rygsøjlen og bruger sin hale og indre øre til at opretholde balancen. Because of its inner-ear balance, it almost always lands on its feet when it falls and can jump from and to great heights without injury. På grund af sin indre øre balance, er det næsten altid lander på sine fødder, når det falder, og kan springe til og fra store højder uden at skade. For this reason, the cat is said to have nine lives. Af denne grund, katten siges at have ni liv.

The Historical Background of Cats Den historiske baggrund af katte

The history of the cat lends itself to drama, controversy, heroism, and mysticism on a somewhat uneven road from its domestication around 1500 BC to the present. Historien om katten egner sig til drama, kontrovers, heltemod, og mystik på en noget ujævn vej fra dens domesticering omkring 1500 f.Kr. til i dag. From the moment the dog became domesticated, humans accepted it as a loyal and loving servant of man. Fra det øjeblik, hunden blev tamme, mennesker har accepteret det som en loyal og kærlig ansat i mennesket. The cat, however, has not been so blessed. Katten har dog ikke været så velsignet. It has been an icon of worship in ancient Egypt, a rat-catching hero during the plague years in Europe, and labeled a familiar for witches in Puritan America. Det har været et ikon for tilbedelse i det gamle Ægypten, en rotte-fangst helten i løbet af pest år i Europa, og mærket et velkendt for hekse i Puritan Amerika.

While dogs have been trained to assist humans as hunters, guides, companions, and enforcers, cats have no obvious purpose other than their presence in one's life. Mens hunde er blevet uddannet til at hjælpe mennesker som jægere, guider, kammerater, og håndhævere, katte ikke har åbenlyse andet formål end deres tilstedeværelse i ens liv. They're simply not very trainable. De er simpelthen ikke meget trainable. Yet, the art of relaxation has been mastered by the cat, and this attribute is assimilated by its human owners. Men kunsten at lempelse har været styr ved katten, og denne attribut er ansat ved sin menneskelige ejere. Nursing homes often have a resident cat who is there only to be petted by the residents. Plejehjem har ofte en hjemmehørende kat, der er der kun at være petted af beboerne.
