If you want to work in a more focused and therefore more productive manner, look at some cute kitten pictures beforehand. Cuteness creates a more positive mentality, which in turn allows the mind to become more focused. That seems to be the conclusion of a Japanese study. The question I would ask is, “how long …
The black and white cat has been around for ever. These pictures show us almost identical looking cats from 1603 and 2008. A time span of 405 years.

Egyptian Cat Art is interesting for me on the level of, “what cat breed is being portrayed”, in the numerous artifacts from ancient Egypt and, “how did they treat their cats”. The practical stuff as opposed to the art. One thing seems indisputable, the cat was very lucky in being the subject matter of the …
