Cat's skills
Betty the crow told Agudumba and the coachman Adhuo the history of wild
cats being trained into domestic cats, and also told the legendary story of
cats being deified and tortured to death.
Why do cats have so many legendary stories? The carriage driver Adhuo was
very curious.
Crow Betty said to Agudemba and coachman Adhuo: Nowadays, there are
enthusiasts all over the world who like to raise domestic cats, but few people
understand the characteristics and abilities of cats.
Cats have a total of 26 unique facial movements, including pupil dilation
or contraction, nose licking, whisker extension or retraction, different ear
positions, etc., and each expression uses a combination of about 4 facial
movements.
crow betty says:
Cats don’t like to live in groups because cats have a territorial sense and
will attack once invaded, and they have extremely high climbing skills. The
same goes for tigers, members of the cat family. People often say that
"one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers", which is also the
natural attribute of cats.
Cats are good at climbing. They can walk casually on high walls and jump
lightly. Both humans and animals are impressed by its sense of balance. This is
mainly due to cats’ outstanding reflex nerves and sense of balance. It only
needs to slightly change the position and height of its tail to achieve body
balance, and then use the strong muscles and strong joints of its hind feet to
jump nimbly. Even if it falls from a high altitude, it can change its body
posture in the air, light and accurate Landed. Cats are good at climbing, but not
good at falling from the top. Even when falling or jumping from a height, cats
rely on their tails to adjust their balance so that their padded limbs touch
the ground. People who like to raise cats should be careful not to break the
cat's tail. This will affect its balance ability, easily cause diarrhea, and
shorten the cat's life.
Cats are agile and good at jumping. Eat fish, rats, rabbits, etc. The
reason why cats like to eat fish and mice is because cats are nocturnal
animals. In order to see things clearly at night, they need a lot of taurine.
Rats and fish contain taurine in their bodies, so cats not only like to eat
fish and mice. Fish and mice are also eaten because of their own needs. As the
natural enemy of rats, cats can effectively reduce the damage caused by rats to
crops such as young crops. The Chinese character "miao" (meaning
"cat") in Chinese characters can be seen as part of ancient Chinese
agricultural life.
Crow Betty smiled at Agudemba and coachman Adhuo and said: Many people
think cats are sleepy and even mock cats as "lazy cats." In fact, it
is ignorance about cats.
Cats spend 14 to 15 hours a day sleeping, and some cats sleep for more than
20 hours, so cats are called "lazy cats." However, if you carefully
observe the way a cat sleeps, you will find that as long as there is a slight
sound, the cat's ears will move. If someone comes near, the cat will jump up
and wake up. Cats are originally hunting animals. In order to be able to keenly
feel all movements in the outside world, they do not sleep very hard, so they
should not be called "lazy" because cats only really sleep for 4 to 5
hours, and most of the time should be considered "lazy". In
"false sleep", it is also called closing your eyes and resting your
mind. However, cats who have been accustomed to living with humans since
childhood sleep more deeply and sleep for longer periods of time.
Crow Betty smiled again and said:
A big characteristic of cats is mysophobia. Cats will groom themselves
frequently. Kittens often like to lick themselves to clean themselves. Cats
will wipe their beards with their front paws after meals, and they will lick
their own fur with their tongues after being hugged. This is a cat's instinct
to remove odor from itself to avoid predators. There are many rough little
protrusions on the cat's tongue, which are the most suitable tools for removing
dirt.
After the cat is petted by its owner, the cat will lick the area where it
was petted. That is the cat memorizing the owner's smell, because it is worried
that it will not be able to find the owner after being separated from the
owner. Some people mistakenly think that this is because the cat thinks it is
dirty.
Crow Betty said to Agudemba and coachman Azhuo: Cats have great abilities,
which are actually related to their personalities.
Betty the crow sang "The Character of a Cat":
I go my own way and go
alone,
Cats always seem a little
willful,
Cats always like to be
alone.
Cats are definitely not like
dogs,
Absolutely obey the master's
orders,
Then there is collective
action.
Dogs are slaves in front of
their masters.
Dog loyalty is highly
glorified;
Cats do not view their
owners as monarchs.
Cats never obey orders;
How does the owner sometimes
call it?
It will pretend not to hear.
Cats regard their owners as
their parents.
Like a child who loves to
act coquettishly,
When a cat feels lonely,
will climb onto the master’s
knees,
Or lie down casually,
She is charming and
charming.
A cat’s personality can make
people feel embarrassed,
Cats recognize their owners
very well.
The master-slave
relationship will not be recognized.
Cats see their owners as
nothing more than friends;
It is this concept of
equality that
It shows the unique charm of
cats.
Taking the legendary wise Agu Demba as the protagonist, I started to create the Chinese-English version of "Snow Land Fable" using the traditional fable creation method that combines poetry and prose. Writing fableskes me feel like a child again. Studying snowy culture is my prescription to prevent Alzheimer’s di masease.
