The language of cats, do you know how to interpret it?

Cats are some fun and great pets , some friends and unique companions that never stop surprise us with their mohines and a thousand ways to get our attention or look around any corner of the house.Living with our cats reveals their personality, behavior and how they express themselves to communicate with us.Researchers have made numerous studies on the behavior of cats and have concluded that, far from being cold or uncommunicative animals, cats are as expressive as dogs .

How cats communicate with us

The research of the University of California has highlighted c Like many of the cat's behaviors, they are misunderstood by their owners.So, cats don't always purr when they're happy, they also do it when they're hurt or sick. Purring would mean a request for care and honey.

Another way to get our attention is also to rub against our legs to greeting mode when we return home.Researchers have noted that it is a common behavior among wild cats and is a kind of greeting when they meet again after separating, a kind of hug.A way of being kind and show us their joy in seeing us again and how much they have missed us.If they rub against the frames of the doors or walls, then simply they are marking territory.

What does it tell you when it blinks?

The same goes for facial gestures , According to researchers, most people tend to look closely at the expressions of their cats since they tend to think that it is not expressed that way, however, studies have shown that cats usually demonstrate with their facial expression if they are tense, sick, happy or relaxed .

One of the most significant gestures is the slow blinking of cats .A gesture of affection and acceptance that tells us that they are very comfortable and calm with us.Something that some interpret as a kind of kiss and others relate to a response of their body to the reduction of cortisol, this is stress, generatedfor the tranquility they feel.

And the meows?

Sometimes adorable, sometimes scared or ask us, cats communicate with us with a very special language: the meow .According to the studies, the meow does not really use it to communicate with other cats, but to communicate with humans.Yes, wild cats barely meow, they are really very silent and usually meowing an average of one meow every 100 hours .Domestic cats instead meow frequently to get our attention and try to communicate with us.Besides, it has been shown that is not exactly a universal language and that each cat has a special way of communicating with its humans.

Proven: Men are more likely to be idiots

That nobody take this as a sexist article.Maybe if a man wrote it, he would give it another approach, but that science confirms something that women have been suspecting for a lifetime, is a triumph.The fact is that the British Medical Journal recently confirmed the theory of male idiocy and that many times they do very stupid things. The funny thing is that the study has been led by a 15-year-old British teenager named Ben Lendrem, the son of a prestigious medical professional, who has become the youngest researcher in history to publish in a medical journal. Would he be fed up? Young Ben to listen again and again to the famous stereotype that the boys are idiots , and even to check it among their parents? What kind of guy is asked to check the theory of male idiocy? The fact that a male, moreover, a young boy, has been the promoter of an investigation of this seems to me enough argument not to consider it a sexist initiative. Men and women do not behave the same Other inv...

Why do we sometimes sound that "we leave our body"?

In Science Daily Online we are always inquiring about the world of dreams.In this article we investigate a very special kind of dream experience: «leaving the body». There are many people who claim to have had an experience of these characteristics: that of being asleep and suddenly feeling like a part of them leaves the body. It is common, for example, to look from above, to feel a sensation of weightlessness and observing the room and oneself in perfect detail. It is what is commonly known as «extracorporeal experience» and, although there is no scientific agreement that clarifies why This happens, the testimonies of many people are there.It is a mystery and, since we do not have any theoretical and scientific corpus that offers us an answer, it has been the field of the paranormal who collects these facts to try to give truth to a aspect: the existence of the soul, of that independent energy nte of our body. Let us analyze, then, the two trends - scientist and super...

What is acid rain?

Many times we have heard the term " acid rain " and generally relate it to the weather and possible contamination, but do you really know what it is? In Science Daily Online we explain it below. What is acid rain? The so-called acid rain is a atmospheric phenomenon that originates when acidic compounds are incorporated into the small droplets of water that make up the clouds.It is one of the main consequences related to air pollution that we all breathe the days. This is a cycle that starts at the moment that industries, factory smoke or car engines emit sulfur oxides in the gaseous state that is transported through the winds to hundreds of kilometers.By burning different kinds of fuels considerable amounts of chemicals are released, which not only contain visible particles of gray color, but also have a wide variety of gases not visible, but very harmful for the environment . Acidity values ​​ In the troposphere , one of the layers that make up the at...

The sun shield that some scientists want to build

Faced with the imminent threat of solar flares that could seriously affect life on Earth, a group of scientists has proposed a novel form of protection: a gigantic sun shield .. With a sun shield we could protect the Earth from the king star, according to scientists Human activity in the 21st century increasingly depends on the infrastructure located in the orbit Low Terrestrial (LEO), that is, the many telecommunications satellites currently in space, the International Space Station and the GPS satellite fleet. For this reason, the solar flares have begun to be considered a serious danger to human life, because if this infrastructure is destroyed we would be left without the tools that make our comfortable existence on the planet possible. To treat this threat a team of scientists from Harv University ard recently published a study that proposes a bold solution: put a giant magnetic shield in orbit. The study, which was the work of Manasavi Lingam and Abraham Loeb of...

The oldest beers and wines that have been discovered

Did you know that beers and wines have been the oldest alcoholic beverages of which we have news? And that there is a theory rolling around that ensures that both writing and agriculture-perhaps two of the most important technologies of humanity-were born, or invented, thanks to these drinks? It seems joke, but the truth is that alcohol has been present in human life since prehistoric times, so we will talk about the oldest beers and wines that have been found. The oldest beers and wines that have been discovered China, ancient Egypt, the Vikings, pre-Inca cultures, Sumeria, ancient Greece or the Canaanites are some of the towns where traces of manufacturing both beer have been found as of wine, as well as special sites for storage. In China, in 2004, a group of archaeologists found a site today considered as the oldest brewery , in the province of Shannxi , north of the country; they found traces of an alcoholic concoction whose base was honey, some type of fruits and ric...

Stephen Hawking's postuma theory proposes that the universe is not infinite

Stephen Hawking's postuma theory , perhaps the most important of the famous astrophysicist, presents a vision of the cosmos much simpler than that of other current models.Is the universe not infinite as it has been proposed for decades? According to this work concluded by Hawking a few months after his death, the universe has limits, it is finite . Stephen Hawking's postuma theory Before that the Stephen Hawking postuma theory , developed in collaboration with Professor Thomas Hertog of the University of Leuven, Belgium, was published recently in the Journal of High Energy Physics , it was argued that the universe was born from a brief explosion during a minimum fraction of a second after the Big Bang, when the cosmos began to expand exponentially .This vision of the cosmos also proposes that , once inflation begins, for quantum effects there are regions that never stop growing.That is, inflation is eternal, which translates into an infinite universe. Stephen Hawki...

The Haitian ZOMBIS CREATOR substance

Haiti is a republic located in the West Indies and is one of the poorest countries in the world.After the terrible earthquake it suffered, it has barely raised its head and 80 % of its population lives below the poverty line.They basically subsist on fishing and agriculture.Perhaps this situation of their population makes it more susceptible to practices such as voodoo and also to the use of herbs and natural remedies . Why do scientists travel to Haiti? Since the 1980s, groups of scientists travel to Haiti to study the flora of the country in search of plants that can be used as base for new pharmacological products .They are especially interested in hallucinogenic plants.They want, among other things, to discover the exact composition of the « zombie-creating powders ». They think that if the complete formula of this substance is discovered, they could obtain a new type of anesthesia that would make the patient pain insensitive and that he kept him paralyzed and...
