Is it possible that house cats know that they have big relatives?

PoC avatarPosted on February 7, 2019 by Michael BroadFebruary 7, 2019

The answer to the question is, No. I could leave it there but Google’s search engine won’t allow it. I think the question is anthropomorphising the domestic cat. It is humanising the domestic cat to put it another way. I … Continue reading →

Cats don’t understand mirrors

PoC avatarPosted on December 5, 2018 by Michael BroadOctober 18, 2019

The eternal question as to whether cats are self-aware is asked again in this compilation of short videos of cats looking at their reflections in mirrors. And they are not. If they were they’d understand mirrors and recognise themselves in … Continue reading →

A part of the domestic cat’s brain can measure time

PoC avatarPosted on October 26, 2018 by Michael BroadOctober 27, 2018

Domestic cats have an internal clock much like humans so they can measure time. That’s the distinct possibility that I take from a recent study. Most cat lovers have wondered how their domestic cat knows when they are about to … Continue reading →

Why don’t cats have addictions like us?

A colleague of mine asked, “Why don’t cats have addictions like us?”. This is my attempt to answer the question. Human intelligence and dissatisfaction with life Humans are meant to be intelligent. However, collectively and individually we can look very … Continue reading →

How long will my cat remember me if she doesn’t see me?

PoC avatarPosted on October 20, 2018 by Michael BroadOctober 21, 2018

Your cat will remember you the rest of her life (subject to dementia). That’s the short answer. Cats have good long-term memories in my opinion especially with respect to their human companion/guardian. I have to rely on personal experience to … Continue reading →

How do cats and dogs see television? I know that they see differently, but does that mean they can’t make out the images on TV?

PoC avatarPosted on October 7, 2018 by Michael BroadOctober 7, 2018

A visitor asked on Quora: “How do cats and dogs see television? I know that they see differently, but does that mean they can’t make out the images on TV?”. The first and obvious point to make is that we … Continue reading →

When domestic cats rest is there nothingness in their heads or do they recollect past experiences or think of things to come?

PoC avatarPosted on September 21, 2018 by Michael BroadSeptember 21, 2018

I don’t know of anybody who knows the answer to the question in the title to his article. It’s impossible to get inside the head of a domestic cat with accuracy. We have to rely on quite a large slice … Continue reading →

A domestic cat’s mirror image moves but does not smell and makes no sound

PoC avatarPosted on September 21, 2018 by Michael BroadSeptember 21, 2018

The fact that domestic cats cannot smell their mirror image is the reason why, it is said, they eventually become disinterested. Further, when a domestic cat looks in a mirror at themselves the mirror image does not emit any sound … Continue reading →

Do cats remember their owners after a long time?

PoC avatarPosted on June 15, 2018 by Michael BroadJune 15, 2018

Do cats remember their owners after a long time? To answer the question I am going to initially rely on personal experience; it’s the best way albeit it is ‘anecdotal evidence’. In any case I am struggling to find the … Continue reading →

How do cats learn their name?

PoC avatarPosted on April 13, 2018 by Michael BroadApril 13, 2018

Cats learn their name not in a way which means that they understand the name conceptually and its meaning but because it is a certain distinct sound which carries a reward. It is a sort of Pavlovian response in my view.
