At-home experiments shed light on cats’ liquid behavior | Cats fluidly move through tall and narrow nooks but hesitate when they approach uncomfortably short holes. The finding suggests that cats are aware of their own body sizes and may form mental images of themselves.

Flexible feline spines shed light on “falling cat” problem | Torsional flexibility of the thoracic spine is superior to that of the lumbar spine in cats: Implications for the falling cat problem Read Full Article Here are 5 hashtags for your post:#FelineFlexibility…
🐈 Scientists continue to study why falling cats land on their feet, with new experiments published in The Anatomical Record analyzing feline spine flexibility. This phenomenon has been debated since at least 1700.
🐈 Previous theories include the "tuck and turn," "falling figure skater," "bend and twist," and "propeller tail" mechanisms. Physicist Greg Gbur previously emphasized the "bend and twist" as most important, but recent findings might lend more credence to the "tuck and turn."

An updated estimate of the number of birds killed by outdoor cats in Canada - Avian Conservation and Ecology Read Full Article #BirdConservation #CatsAndBirds #CanadaWildlife
* 🐦 New research estimates outdoor cats in Canada kill between 19 and 197 million birds annually, a 71% decrease from previous estimates (105–348 million in 2013).
* 🐱 The updated, lower estimate is primarily due to more accurate cat population figures derived from field surveys, rather than older ownership surveys and shelter data.
* ❗ Despite the reduced numbers, outdoor cats remain a significant concern for native bird populations in Canada.
