	<title>Cats "Exploit" Humans By Purring</title>
	<author>kdawson</author>
	<datestamp>1247477460000</datestamp>
	<htmltext>An anonymous reader notes a BBC report on research recently published in the journal <em>Current Biology</em>, indicating that <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8147566.stm">cats manipulate humans by adding a baby-like cry to their purring</a>. <i>"Cat owners may have suspected as much, but it seems our feline friends have found a way to manipulate us humans. Researchers at the University of Sussex have discovered that cats use a 'soliciting purr' to overpower their owners and garner attention and food. Unlike regular purring, this sound incorporates a 'cry,' with a similar frequency to a human baby's. The team said cats have 'tapped into' a human bias &mdash; producing a sound that humans find very difficult to ignore."</i></htmltext>

One of my cats always follows me to the bathroom first thing in the morning, and he only started doing it a few days before I found out I was pregnant. Maybe the change in hormones or something. I'm curious to see if he keeps doing it after my son is born, and to see how the kitties react the first time they feel kicks while sitting on my lap.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>What you think cats are is not what you think cats are:

1. My soon-to-be-ex arrived one day to remove everything of value from the house. She confidently placed an expensive tea set we had both enjoyed on a table with many other items of equal fragility. I remarked that it was sad to see the tea set go since we had both enjoyed it so much. As I followed her to another room to witness further withdrawals, we both heard something break. Running back to the living room revealed the tea set alone broken on the floor, but nothing else from the table disturbed. After she left, I made sure the cat received a LOT of positive feedback.

2. I recently ate something which caused me great intestinal pain. My two year old male cat came to my side and sat at attention until my pain subsided. He has done this every time I've been in pain.

3. One of my employees came over to drop off some supplies. Her car was leaking oil. The cat sat at the garage door looking at the car through the screen and meowed incessantly. He has never done that before. I had to close the door to stop him from looking at the car and making noise. Four days later the head gasket blew and the engine ruined.

4. Where I live it is common to see scorpions. They easily enter my house, as I have found them under clothes on the floor. After getting the cat, he has found every single scorpion to enter and spends hours playing with them before impaling them. Last night he found a baby scorpion, no bigger than a spider. He finds them in pitch darkness; how I have no idea.

5. Cats are fast. In the time it took me to blink my eyes, he covered six feet and touched my face with his paw before my eyelid closed. Imagine if he weighed as much as a dog.

6. He understands when we play that "No claws!" means he does not use his claws when we wrestle. When I don't say that, I go through more bandages than usual.

Conclusion: we don't have to wait for the flying saucers, the aliens are already here and have already taken over. We are their slaves. Why would the Egyptians build something as big as the Sphinx? Has anyone ever made a sculpture of a dog that size? They knew where they stood and left the statue as a warning to humanity.</htmltext>

That's purely a learned behavior, as this one may be.

Not exactly voice modulation, but, you know, making that cute round face, running up to you and licking your legs whenever you grab something to eat from the kitchen. I seriously doubt the fact, however, that cats specifically found out what frequency our babies cry at, and then copied/used that frequency in their cries for food. It could be a coincidence.</htmltext>

<sentencetext>They aren't, sorry.
A cat considers itself better than you, and in 99 out of a 100 cases of cat owners, the cat IS better than the owner.Cats manipulate their owners on a regular basis, pretty much their entire lives.
The only reason it tolerates you is because its easier than the alternative.They don't like you, they never will, and the instant they realize you are dead they will proceed to eat you.Most cat owners think cats can't be trained, this is simply false.

	<htmltext>Everyone in the apartment complex I lived in knew who Ugly was. Ugly was the resident tomcat. Ugly loved three things in this world: fighting, eating garbage, and, shall we say, love.
 <p>The combination of these things combined with a life spent outside had their effect on Ugly. To start with, he had only one eye and where the other should have been was a hole. He was also missing his ear on the same side, his left foot appeared to have been badly broken at one time, and had healed at an unnatural angle, making him look like he was always turning the corner. </p><p>
Ugly would have been a dark gray tabby, striped type, except for the sores covering his head, neck, and even his shoulders
</p><p>
Every time someone saw Ugly there was the same reaction. "That's one UGLY cat!!!"
 </p><p>

All the children were warned not to touch him, the adults threw rocks at him, hosed him down, squirted him when he tried to come in their homes, or shut his paws in the door when he would not leave. Ugly always had the same reaction.

</p><p>
If you turned the hose on him, he would stand there, getting soaked until you gave up and quit. If you threw things at him, he would curl his lanky body around your feet in forgiveness.
</p><p>
Whenever he spied children, he would come running, meowing frantically and bump his head against their hands, begging for their love.
</p><p>
If you ever picked him up he would immediately begin suckling on your shirt, earrings, whatever he could find.
</p><p>
One day Ugly shared his love with the neighbor's dogs. They did not respond kindly, and Ugly was badly mauled. I tried to rush to his aid. By the time I got to where he was laying, it was apparent Ugly's sad life was almost at an end.
</p><p>

As I picked him up and tried to carry him home, I could hear him wheezing and gasping, and could feel him struggling. It must be hurting him terribly, I thought.
</p><p>
Then I felt a familiar tugging, sucking sensation on my ear. Ugly, in so much pain, suffering and obviously dying, was trying to suckle my ear. I pulled him closer to me, and he bumped the palm of my hand with his head, then he turned his one golden eye towards me, and I could hear the distinct sound of purring.
 </p><p>
Even in the greatest pain, that ugly battled scarred cat was asking only for a little affection, perhaps some compassion.
</p><p>

Ugly died in my arms before I could get inside, but I sat and held him for a long time afterwards, thinking about how one scarred, deformed little stray could so alter my opinion about what it means to have true pureness of spirit,

 Ugly taught me more about giving and compassion than a thousand books, lectures, or talk show specials ever could, and for that I will always be thankful.

<tokenext>Everyone in the apartment complex I lived in knew who Ugly was .
Ugly was the resident tomcat .
Ugly loved three things in this world : fighting , eating garbage , and , shall we say , love .
The combination of these things combined with a life spent outside had their effect on Ugly .
To start with , he had only one eye and where the other should have been was a hole .
He was also missing his ear on the same side , his left foot appeared to have been badly broken at one time , and had healed at an unnatural angle , making him look like he was always turning the corner .
Ugly would have been a dark gray tabby , striped type , except for the sores covering his head , neck , and even his shoulders Every time someone saw Ugly there was the same reaction .
" That 's one UGLY cat ! ! !
" All the children were warned not to touch him , the adults threw rocks at him , hosed him down , squirted him when he tried to come in their homes , or shut his paws in the door when he would not leave .
Ugly always had the same reaction .
If you turned the hose on him , he would stand there , getting soaked until you gave up and quit .
If you threw things at him , he would curl his lanky body around your feet in forgiveness .
Whenever he spied children , he would come running , meowing frantically and bump his head against their hands , begging for their love .
If you ever picked him up he would immediately begin suckling on your shirt , earrings , whatever he could find .
One day Ugly shared his love with the neighbor 's dogs .
They did not respond kindly , and Ugly was badly mauled .
I tried to rush to his aid .
By the time I got to where he was laying , it was apparent Ugly 's sad life was almost at an end .
As I picked him up and tried to carry him home , I could hear him wheezing and gasping , and could feel him struggling .
It must be hurting him terribly , I thought .
Then I felt a familiar tugging , sucking sensation on my ear .
Ugly , in so much pain , suffering and obviously dying , was trying to suckle my ear .
I pulled him closer to me , and he bumped the palm of my hand with his head , then he turned his one golden eye towards me , and I could hear the distinct sound of purring .
Even in the greatest pain , that ugly battled scarred cat was asking only for a little affection , perhaps some compassion .
