. The D in O C D is the difference. Lots of people have obsessive or compulsive behaviours or both. Most people I know anyway. but back to cats and newspaper. In the olden days . the chips at the fish and chip shop were always wrapped in newspaper. Makes me ill just thinking about it. My cat has a routine. She'll do the same thing in the same place all the time. She'll walk across the same area of the room in a cycle every time she wants to go outside. There's an interesting book called "All cats have Asperger's Syndrome" which is really aimed at a children's audience to explain AS to them by using cat behaviours. i.e. routine, sensitivity of the senses like hearing, and food preferences... things like that. |

Yes, Lara. Dr. Amen MD said in one of his PBS lectures that cats are "autistic" because of their small neocortex. But I read a
vet school paper online that said their limbic systems are highly developed and therefore they are emotionally similar to people! Who to believe? I do know that routine is paramount for them. The vet upNorth who took care of Weezie in 2012 when she was bitten on the neck...and so ill etc took lots of time to tell me how stressors, and change of routine, can make them fall ill or make an injury worse, like our trip up there and Oreo's death 3 days before ..made Weezie so infected. (lowered immune response). Taking on trips, moving, loss of a friend or human caretaker etc can make them sick! This year both of our cats made the journey well. Maya twice now and Weez 3 times. So maybe they are getting used to both places now? I make sure to take some of their bedding with us to use up there so there will be familiar scents. But yes, I think most cat owners know about feline routines LOL. . Regarding potential toxicity of todays printed newspapers: . I prefer to use the unprinted packing paper for my cats playtimes anyway.

Cats are very popular here on NT.
But it is not just here. . YouTube is flooded with cat videos. There is one long one of kittens growing up with Mom and Dad cats that is just wonderful! I Can Haz Cheeseburger is mostly cats, too. You could spend days there as well as at YouTube.... WEEKS there actually! LOL We've had cats for over 40 yrs. Many unique ones, and unique experiences too.

You just email them to yourself. If your phone gives options for size, pick a small size as is best for here (size limits)
They you download from your email to your computer, and put in "my pictures" and make sure you make a "cat folder" first... and then you go to attachments here and upload following directions. Manage attachments is below the submit button for a post.
