When going to bed and not being able to sleep my little mind start to wander, and I came to think about something.

When you stub you toe or something on lets say a table, you look at the table where you stubbed your toe. Same goes for when you hit something, you look at the place that "hit you".. I did look at the door yesterday after opening it on my forehead..

But when you hold an animal, lets say a cat. And that cat goes wild and attacks you or jump out of your arms in a "weird" way. You dont look at the animal, but the person next to you. As if the person near by was the reason for the animal to act that way. So the way people are is the reason for animals to react in a bad way, if it is a bad vibe..

Am I making any sence now whatsoever? It did probably sound better in my head, hehehe.

Maybe you could try a sleepingpill next time?

It means you don't know cats deep enough.

Mmm no, I actually look to see if the cat is alright. If it jumps from your arms in a weird way it probably wasn't held right. And sometimes they do it even if you know how to handle a cat. I mean, my cat Dorus doesn't like to be held in the regular way, but he is happy as Larry when I turn him upside down. He'll try to bite my ankles afterwards, but that's because he can be a mean little bastard......

NOW you’ve don it.
I'm starting to THINK

that has to be the most painful thing in the world. I hate doing that. I keep doing that on the sharp wooden corners of my futon which are just about foot height (convieniently sp? )

simple really, don't have any cats within 3 metres of your arms

What happens if you stub your toe on a really big animal, like a cow? That's your's or the cow's fault, surely?

I work with psychologists so I'll ask 'em. Probably have to buy them drink first.

I do have a cat, and has learned very well when he is pissed, hehe. He has quite a temper..

I could have used a horse as an exsample too. To put it on the edge, if you see a movie with a vampire or something. And the vampire comes near to an animal, the animal react. And the other actor or whatever looks at the vampire starting to suspect there is something "evil" about the person. That is kind of a way to make the viewers of the movie start to pick up there is something wrong too, if they dont allready know..

Ah well.. Im too quick to share my thoughts some times

Why cats like people that don't like cats.

Put simply, this is largely down to a misreading of body-language. The natural body-language reaction of a human to a person or animal they are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with is firstly to avoid eye-contact with the "threat", secondly to narrow the eyes if eye-contact is made.

Unfortunately for non-cat persons, this in cat body-language translates as two gestures of friendliness: The cat actually thinks you are trying to make friends, so that's why they seem to like people that don't like them.

Why cats and dogs don't get on.

Similar reasons as above really. One example: dog body language for "let's play" is front legs flat on the floor and backside stuck in the air with tail wagging. To a cat this looks like the cat threat-signal (arched back, tail twitching) so the cat whacks the dog across his nose.
