whats about cats age?

In captivity, indoor cats typically live 14 to 20 years, though the oldest-known cat lived to age 36. Domestic cats tend to live longer if they are not permitted to go outdoors (reducing the risk of injury from fights or accidents) and if they are spayed or neutered. Spaying and neutering a cat also decreases the risk of testicular and ovarian cancer, and female cats spayed before their first litter benefit from reduced risk of mammary cancer. Feral cats living in modern urban environments often live only two years, or less. Feral cats in maintained colonies can live much longer; the British Cat Action Trust reported a 19-year-old feral female. The oldest feral cat was Mark who was maintained by the British charity Cats Protection and who reached 26 years of age.

I like both but prefer cats because they are laid back and independent. My cat is very cuddly and could spend all day in my lap but she isn't aggressive in obtaining affection the way dogs tend to be. I hate it when dogs demand loving and lick my face. Yuck!

Actually, it's not accurate to say that dog's life is 7 years to ours, because dogs have different life expectancies. As a rule, I have been lead to believe that, the larger the dog the less it's life expectancy is, relatively. Apparantly cats can live about 15+ years now, but this depends on whether they enjoy being outdoors or indoors more

Superior huh? First of all cats don't have a "language" per se. Everything is based on body language and tones. Humans can also do this. Humans can communicate just like cats (albeit on the most fundamental level) with any other human in the world. Don't believe me? Go to any person who doesn't speak your language. Watch their body language. I guarantee you will be able to understand exactly when they feel scared, happy, surprised, mellow, nervous, etc. And if you just listen to the tone of their voice as they speak to someone else, you will be able to tell when they sound angry, happy, depressed, etc. See, cats and humans can communicate on the same level. Though we can't carry on conversations, neither can cats, we can understand some basics. For example if two cats meet up from differnt parts of the world, they will only be able to understand the most basic things from each other, just like they would understand from their own kind in their own country. Example of things they could tell; I'm in the mood for sex, This is my territory get out, I'm hurt, I'm happy. All of these things can also be communicated by humans to any other human.\n\nhope this helps.

No, animals grow hair in response to temperature and daylength. They don't watch the calendar and decide that it;s time to grow a winter coat. Day length shortens and temperatures fall in Autumn in the southern hemisphere just as it does in the North. The names humans give to the months dont; alter those things.\n\n>>>>In the southern hemisphere Jan.-March are summer and\n>>>> July-Sept. are winter.\n\nMore commonly Dec-Feb are summer and Jun-Aug are winter.\n\n\n>>>>It can't be the temperature if he's an indoor cat and it's 70 degrees year round. \n\nIt can be if the temperature fluctuates at all between seasons. Animals usually respond to temperature changes, not to specific temperatures. Unless your house is heated to a constant 70 all winter and cooled to a constant 70 all summer, 24 hours a day, the cat could easily detect the differences.

hi yes,  there are cervil cats in south africa (wild)  they are a bit bigger than your average house cat, not as big as a lynx.  with pointy hair growing out of their ears. they're sort of a light caramel colour

A cat has claws at the end of its paws and a comma has a pause at the end of its clause! It's an old one but still great!

No. It's not unusual...\n\nThey weigh about twice that of a house cat, with adult males usually ranging from 16 to 30 pounds.\n\n(I'll say you're old! Can't even type! kidding.)

A. Cats are less docile than dogs\nB. Cats wouldnt be strong enough to pull a person\nC. The handle and harness would be impractical due to the size and height\nD. People would point and laugh

There are lots of different types of stars, all with different 'lifespans'. Ours is about 4.5 Billion years old and should 'live' to the ripe old age of about 10 Billion years old.

Never heard of it maybe you should ask a feline.

Definitely dogs.  Cats can't look at you with big, sad eyes.  Dogs are also more loving.

The different lifespans of different plants and animals, including humans raises the question of why these lifespans are found.\n\nThe evolutionary theory is that organisms that are able by virtue of their defenses or lifestyle to live for long periods whilst avoiding accidents, disease, predation etc. are likely to have genes that code for slow aging- good repair.\n\nThis is so because if a change to the organism (for example a bird might evolve stronger wings) may mean that it is exceptionally capable of escaping from predation, then it will live longer, and die of old age. So a member of the population with the better wings who by chance has genes that code for better repair will outlast its contemporaries and have more successors. Its genes will tend to dominate more and more of the gene pool and genes for slower aging and slower reproduction rate will dominate.\n\nConversely a change to the environment that means that organisms die younger from a common disease will mean that organisms that have genes that code for putting more energy into reproduction than repair will do better.\n\nThe support for this theory includes the fact that better defended animals, for example cats, live longer and functionally age slower than less well defended animals such as dogs; and even small birds that can fly away from danger live for a decade or more whereas mice which cannot, die of old age in a year or two. Turtles are very well defended indeed and live for over a hundred years.
