I have'ta dispute this "cats can't taste sweet things" conclusion. I've got a cat named Jasper with an unusual penchant for freshly made jam doughnuts. At the tiniest whiff of hot doughnutty goodness, the little shit turns into a black streak, dashing across a room, jumping up on furniture & clambering up on my chest - all to get just close enough to reach out & claw a piece of sugar dusted & deep-fried sweet bread (without the jam) outta my hand. He munches down on it with all the bliss of a soldier eating a Burger after a 6 month deployment. Seriously, he's a small-ish feline (6kg), but he gobbles down a good quarter of a doughnut in a few seconds.

Me, looking at my tiny cat sleeping with her little feets sticking up in the air on a comically large pile of pillows and blankets taking up the majority of my couch: Ah yes, nature's greatest predator.
brook Martin “et al.” is short for “et alius” which is Latin for “and all the rest of them”. Instead of writing “[Title]” by “Smith, Jones, Davis, Wilson and Johnson” every time, a source with multiple authors will be referred to as “[Title]” by “Smith et al.” or possibly “Smith & Jones et al.”
That's not true at all, remember Swat Kats, Thundercats, Catdog, some of them had nothing and no one had abnormal reproductive organs. If that was true why didn't Tigra get Cheetara pregnant
They do. Give a lion or tiger a big enough box and they behave exactly the same with it as a housecat. Cats are all basically the same except for size. It's nature finding a really good design and then scaling it to fit the world.
Does the cat’s pre-strike butt wiggle have any evolutionary significance? Edit: I had no idea that this question would spark such a dialogue. But, I am glad it has. I guess that's what comments "do".
I put on this video to show my 98 year old grandfather and his cat casually heads out the door.

It's thoughtless to suggest something like that, if he happen to have just one, or no nipple at all. Imagine having to listen to an explanation like that.

This has to be one of the most unique channels on Yt... I have yet to find any channel that comes close to this mix of science, humour and education. Truly unique, so well written and edited... and absolutely fookin' hilarious!!
My cat used to be my parents' cat, out in the country. He was not only a brilliant predator, but he was a skilled trader. Whenever he caught a small critter (or a not-so-small one, such as a red squirrel), he'd present it to the humans, then jump onto the washing machine, and wait to be paid off in treats. Now that he lives in the city with me, he's an indoor cat, but is still very treat-motivated. When I take him to the vet, the vet thinks I've trained him to do tricks. In fact, he's trained me to offer him treats in exchange for doing things.
@@clickpause8732 He was also a true xenophobe. Not in an insult style, he was truly afraid of things he didn't understand. You're applying your morality to the mentally ill. Lovecraft is still one of the best horror writers of all time who always wrote from a place of true terror and fear.
@@truesoundwave Idk why people bring that up whenever his name is mentioned, like okay, mention the obvious or something but it's not relevant to the topic at hand.
@@truesoundwave Oh, yeah, I completely agree on those points, but I just thought it was humorous to mention it alongside the talk about his essay about Ibid, as a sort of contrast to his perspective. On the other hand, ignoring Lovecraft's horror works, I think we should probably apply the same lens of mental illness to everything he wrote. As you say, I can't apply my morality to Lovecraft's poems ejaculating about his racism, so by the same hand I shouldn't trust the essays written by that same man, no?
The number of nipples tends to correlate with the number of young nursing at one time. Mammals with larger litters tend to have more nipples. Small animals make tons of tiny babies because their life expectancy is too poor to waste a lot of energy on a few large babies. But big animals are much safer, so we make only a few or one baby at a time, and put way more energy into raising the small litter. Thus, larger mammals tend to have fewer nipples in general.
@@TheReaverOfDarkness Yep, that's generally called the "One-Half Rule", or the general principle that mammalian litter size rarely exceeds half the number of mammary glands in the mother. It's a rough rule though, there are plenty of exceptions. Take the domestic cow, for example. Average litter size is one, but it has four mammary glands. Maybe that's because they used to have an average litter of two at some point in their evolutionary past, or our rule just isn't perfect. But it's usually close.
@@TheReaverOfDarkness Similar to how Human's only have two breasts/nipples, since the vast majority of humans produce no more than 1 or 2 children at a time.

"Being licked by a cat is kind of like watching a two year old that just learned how to blow in a harmonica, super cute at first and then it quickly becomes painful." That made me loose the next minute and a half lol!

My cat would put his two arms around my head, ready to apply claws if I was to move my head , and then proceed to clean all my hairs until he is satisfied lol. This would usually tale between 15 to 25 minutes, and happen once a week. This was hurting a bit but my hairs would be surprisingly clean and soft after. Now he is old and do not bother doing so anymore apart from à few rare occasion.
My previous cat would occasionally groom me, when she also was grooming herself. I felt so honored to be worthy of a tongue bath. Wasn't fond of the fishy cat food breath though. My current cat doesn't do that, but she loves to scratch her head on my chin, when i have a stubbly scratchy beard going on. My stubble feels quite similar to a cat's tongue.
My very good, not yappy chihuahua Lupita died last week and binging your videos has helped me giggle and smile. Thank you for making so many wonderful videos with your humorous commentary. ❤❤❤❤❤

@@paulsteward9582 I've heard of people doing it, but don't personally know any. However, the Internet tells me it's a thing, and we know the Internet never lies.
This was so much funnier because my cat was giving demonstrations the whole time. She was sticking her whiskers up my nose when you were talking about whisker vision (probably just checking for boogers). She was licking the tender skin off my chin while you were describing the tongue. And then she turned around and put her eye of sauron in my face at the end when you were talking about getting behind the tiger. I laughed until I cried.
@4:29 and @5:39, the key to understanding why the domestic cat's eyes are vertically thin and then go large round like that is "Depth of Field" in relation to "Aperture/Pupil Size". A wider pupil size in a certain direction yields a tighter Depth of Field (DoF). So, when the pupil is thin horizontally, then horizontal edge features (like vertical blades of grass or vertical lines) over a long range will be relatively in focus (let's say objects 2.0m out to 20m for example). When the pupil widens, then the DoF shrinks and only objects within a certain range will be in focus (like 8.0m to 12.0m). So, the cat's eye can use this along with varying focus with its crystalline to gather more info to pinpoint distance.
The domestic cat: a being only 12 inches tall, yet somehow, magically, its butthole is always at our eye level. Fascinating.
And always has an expression on its face that says " kind of like looking in a mirror, ain't it?".

Cats also walk differently from dogs. Dogs go front left, back right, front right, back left. Cats go front left, back left, front right, back right.
Didn't think I'd see you here
Is a fight about to breakout?
Possum cops walk like cats! That's how u can spot a cop from a distance!
They put there back foot in the same spot as the front ; it’s a hunting adaptation
So what your saying is dogs and cats can't play the hokey pokey together.
...and “et al.”, who’s, like, the best scientist; he’s on all the papers... 😂🤣
but et al. never gets the senior authorship, it's a scandal really

Like how that one actor, Also Starring, is in almost every movie. How does he do that?
Learning about cats blind spot has allowed me to have a very productive play session with my cat just now. Thanks!
My cat used to be my parents' cat, out in the country. He was not only a brilliant predator, but he was a skilled trader.
Whenever he caught a small critter (or a not-so-small one, such as a red squirrel), he'd present it to the humans, then jump onto the washing machine, and wait to be paid off in treats.
Now that he lives in the city with me, he's an indoor cat, but is still very treat-motivated. When I take him to the vet, the vet thinks I've trained him to do tricks. In fact, he's trained me to offer him treats in exchange for doing things.

You're applying your morality to the mentally ill.
Lovecraft is still one of the best horror writers of all time who always wrote from a place of true terror and fear.
@@truesoundwave Idk why people bring that up whenever his name is mentioned, like okay, mention the obvious or something but it's not relevant to the topic at hand.
He also needs a Pulitzer Prize for his contribuuuuutions to science and phonics 😐😑
@@truesoundwave Oh, yeah, I completely agree on those points, but I just thought it was humorous to mention it alongside the talk about his essay about Ibid, as a sort of contrast to his perspective.
On the other hand, ignoring Lovecraft's horror works, I think we should probably apply the same lens of mental illness to everything he wrote. As you say, I can't apply my morality to Lovecraft's poems ejaculating about his racism, so by the same hand I shouldn't trust the essays written by that same man, no?

I've watched this silly thing bout 6 times now and I laugh everytime that he says that. I am living each day to use that line in a conversation....
New fact i've learned: Regular Cats has more nipples than big cats
The number of nipples tends to correlate with the number of young nursing at one time. Mammals with larger litters tend to have more nipples. Small animals make tons of tiny babies because their life expectancy is too poor to waste a lot of energy on a few large babies. But big animals are much safer, so we make only a few or one baby at a time, and put way more energy into raising the small litter. Thus, larger mammals tend to have fewer nipples in general.
@@TheReaverOfDarkness Yep, that's generally called the "One-Half Rule", or the general principle that mammalian litter size rarely exceeds half the number of mammary glands in the mother. It's a rough rule though, there are plenty of exceptions. Take the domestic cow, for example. Average litter size is one, but it has four mammary glands. Maybe that's because they used to have an average litter of two at some point in their evolutionary past, or our rule just isn't perfect. But it's usually close.
@@TheReaverOfDarkness Similar to how Human's only have two breasts/nipples, since the vast majority of humans produce no more than 1 or 2 children at a time.
@@RagbagMcShag i just realized that lol

Oh yes! Et Al is the most productive scientist, with authorship in almost every publication.
Actually "et" is Latin for "and". The worlds greatest scientist is just named Al. No surname, like Madonna, you know.
Not sure who that was directed at. But me and the top comment are both in on the joke.
But co-authorship only. He/She has no first-author papers, which is why is still a post-doc, and can't get a tenure-track
@@hellkr However, they somehow always manage to be the _last_ author on papers, which is also a prestigeous position usually reserved for research group leaders.

@@Bomber411 my old cat never did and id never really noticed other cats doing it so yep
I actually used to love when my cat would lick my arm. She was so sweet.
I miss her.
My cat would put his two arms around my head, ready to apply claws if I was to move my head , and then proceed to clean all my hairs until he is satisfied lol. This would usually tale between 15 to 25 minutes, and happen once a week. This was hurting a bit but my hairs would be surprisingly clean and soft after. Now he is old and do not bother doing so anymore apart from à few rare occasion.
My cat sleeps on my chest even as an adult. She is very sweet and I know I’ll stop working when she dies. Like, shut off
My previous cat would occasionally groom me, when she also was grooming herself. I felt so honored to be worthy of a tongue bath. Wasn't fond of the fishy cat food breath though.
My current cat doesn't do that, but she loves to scratch her head on my chin, when i have a stubbly scratchy beard going on. My stubble feels quite similar to a cat's tongue.
My cat broke 30+ stuff. So when I break something I blame him. I miss him :(
What happened to her :/

thank you for sharing your experience, and for the chance to remember my sweet, fluffy orange boy. ♡
@@_..bert.._ awwwwwwww. Thank you. And yes, Lupita was smaller than my cats and always very careful around them, she wasn’t allowed to bark in the house so I’m sure she wouldn’t have scared your Sketti cat. Hugs for you.

“This is a bit of an awkward blind spot to have if you use your face to kill things” 😂😂😂
This was so much funnier because my cat was giving demonstrations the whole time. She was sticking her whiskers up my nose when you were talking about whisker vision (probably just checking for boogers). She was licking the tender skin off my chin while you were describing the tongue. And then she turned around and put her eye of sauron in my face at the end when you were talking about getting behind the tiger. I laughed until I cried.
It's really weird, and also so very sad that you let a cat lick your face. One of your many, many cats.

@4:29 and @5:39, the key to understanding why the domestic cat's eyes are vertically thin and then go large round like that is "Depth of Field" in relation to "Aperture/Pupil Size". A wider pupil size in a certain direction yields a tighter Depth of Field (DoF). So, when the pupil is thin horizontally, then horizontal edge features (like vertical blades of grass or vertical lines) over a long range will be relatively in focus (let's say objects 2.0m out to 20m for example). When the pupil widens, then the DoF shrinks and only objects within a certain range will be in focus (like 8.0m to 12.0m). So, the cat's eye can use this along with varying focus with its crystalline to gather more info to pinpoint distance.
