Mittens is an artificial intelligence computer programmed to play chess. It is no surprise then that this cute kitten demolishes highly skilled human chess players. The current world No. 1 Magnus Carlsen refuses to play her. I understand why. Fear of failure ??. But he says: “Yeah, I’m not going to pay Mittens. It’s just …

Watch this cat shelter worker’s behavior and tell me what you think. I believe that the video was made in China or perhaps another Asian country and that this is an animal or cat shelter. The kittens want to get out of their little, glass-fronted cage. Of course. He opens the door and guess what …

This is a cute video which has gone somewhat viral on TikTok which is illustrative of the kitten-mother relationship. Personally, I don’t particularly like it but it is quite good nonetheless and informational. Kittens will cry when they are first weaned because their mother isn’t around to help with feeding. This kitten looks as if …

This is a photograph which in many ways sums up Putin’s barbaric invasion of Ukraine; a war in which brave Ukrainian soldiers are gradually getting the upper hand against the aggressors. And in this photograph, we see a Ukrainian soldier because he is wearing the Ukrainian flag on his body armour. That flag, the blue …

There are several things about this video which demand a comment ?. The woman’s voice is mightily sexy and cute. It triggers something in my brain. Her voice is as cute as the cats. I don’t know if it is a real voice or digitally created. I have a feeling that it is the latter. …
The photo was taken at Novosibirsk Zoo, Russia. It is located in central-south Russia. They are also a research institute. The Pallas’s cat kittens look pissed off. They always do. It is their facial anatomy. You may be surprised by the fact that I have called them ‘Pallas’s cat kittens’. It sounds odd but the …
Kittens don’t come much cuter, do they? The coat is red or orange and the pattern must be a tabby but it is barely visible. Nearly all red cats are male as the orange gene, ‘O‘, is sex-linked. This is a cute red tabby fella who is melting hearts. All kittens are cute but this …

I like pictures of cats. The photograph shows a male Bengal cat with an all-gray female (with a very thin coat), who are the parents, with their ‘kids’, a mixed bag with one a carbon copy of his ‘dad’. We don’t know why the female’s coat is so thin. She appears to be suffering from …

She looks like a brown tabby-and-white. Super cute owl-like face. Ears flat to the head. Big ‘M’ tabby mark on the forehead signifying tabby. Big round baby eyes set in a round head. Pink nose leather. Expression of bewilderment. She’ll be snapped up by a celebrity. Click this for a full page on this breed. …
I have consistently said that cat guardians should respect their cat companion as a feline but treat them as a member of the human family. I think that is the right combination but it does lend itself towards anthropomorphising your cat. However, I don’t think this is a bad thing necessarily. The experts say you …

This owl-faced long-haired Scottish Fold kitten is a beauty. The face is very attractive. I believe that the coat is a torbie-and-white. This is a tabby coat combined with a tortoiseshell coat. The tabby markings on the forehead are amazing and reminiscent of the wild fishing cat. Whether the Scottish fold is long or short …

This is a photo of Millie when she was a kitten. That’s all I know. Oh, and that it is a cute photo because Millie has a very cute face even for a cute kitten. And, of course, her cuteness is juxtaposed against her human companion’s large and robust head. Millie is a calico cat …
A lot of websites say that cats are lactose intolerant meaning that they can’t drink the milk that humans drink (some humans are lactose intolerent too, by the way). The reason is because they don’t have the enzyme lactase in order to digest lactose in milk sugar. When a cat is lactose intolerant it can …

The Japanese are arguably obsessed with cuteness and mascots but in the nicest possible way. This particular mascot is both cute and functional. In addition to handing out free face coverings the mascot also reminds Tokyo’s residents to keep socially distanced, all in the furtherance of mitigating the spread of this disease. It is interesting …

The language I’ve used in the title comes from that wonderful writer, Desmond Morris. He is also a great animal behaviourist. I would say that he is still the best. He explains why kittens don’t squabble when feeding at their mother’s breast. Soon after birth kittens have an attachment to their own nipple. It’s a …
