I have cats, they've had babies, agreed the cat may have been sad but only because it was trying to get laid...lmao..i hate seeing animal run over and what not but come one you playing sad sentimental music to a cat trying to have sex with a dead one!!
..all of you that say the cat tries to get laid, not only u're sick to think that .. but u also didn't got 2 cats in same time. they can seek affection from each other, w/o wanting sex
Its knows something is wrong and is trying to help. Its scared and finding comfort in 'kneading' the fur (a instilled comfort trigger from kneading its moms belly when nursing. And yes, it's also trying to initiate sex. (watch its motion around :50-:54). Maybe this is an attempt to get a reaction, or to find comfort, or some other expression of its grief. Why would pain, sorrow and loss be just human traits? Emotionally animals are much more complex then we give them credit for.
Cats are much more simple than we give them credit for. Their brains are the size of walnuts, so there is not much latitude for unprogrammed behaviour.
The cat in the video does not care about the dead one. When cats exhibit "kneading" behaviour they are enjoying themselves, as you will see in the Wikipedia article on: Kneading_(cats)
And then to top it all, it tries to mate with the corpse. Disgusting.
"stupid cats": > Cats are much more simple than we give them credit for. > Their brains are the size of walnuts, so there is not much > latitude for unprogrammed behaviour.
talk about someone with a 'brain the size of a walnut'...
cats have plenty of latitude for unprogrammed behavior. like the other carnivorae, they have large brains. in particular, cats have excellent long-term memory systems; some of the best of all animals, and rivaling that of apes and cetaceans.
He is not trying to have sex with the dead one, he do what kittens does to ther mother. Cats do this when they want hug, etc or even in great physical pain. One of my cats fell of my window, he broke several of his bone and was close do death (he survive ). He was doing exactly the same. Another one of my cats die (he was 16 years old), the two other can't stop to touch him, lick him, and do exactly as in the vid. It's not about sex. When cat's wants sex, they bites the neck hardly.
@gigantes: "Because a cat has a smaller, less complex brain with fewer neurons in it ... The average cat can only retain tactile or visual information for ten minutes in his working memory, and can only learn to recognize a few places and objects." vetinfo web site.
@minou: You needed to watch to the end - the cat does exactly that - it bites the dead one on the neck.
yea the cat was confused, it can still fell his "girlfriend's smell but seems she's not alive... that's why he's trying to have sex and mourning at the same time...
stop, Aaryn, Costin: you dickheads are projecting your own behaviour on the cat. But cats trying to fuck show a completely different behaviour - they jump, put their front legs over the shoulder of the female, and bite its neck from behind.
This cat is 'kneading', which is what cats do to comfort one another (and themselves). And you can see, it indeed cares for its dead mate, trying to help and comfort it. This is not selfish - the cat just can't understand the other cat is dead. Just as some humans do when their closest friends or relatives die.
@Katzenelenbogen, According to researchers at Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine, the physical structure of human brains and that of cats are very similar; they have the same lobes in the cerebral cortex (the "seat" of intelligence) as humans do. Human brains also function the same way, conveying data via many identical neurotransmitters. According to a Polish study, it was found that cats possess visual memory ability comparable to that of monkeys.
According to the helium site, cats not only display long-term memory capabilities, but are also capable of emotional mapping, manipulation, can use tools, figure out the spatial configurations of mazes or puzzles and, when stalking prey, execute carefully planned schemes.
Researchers have discovered that there is not much difference between how a cat and a human utilize certain cues to assist in the creation of short and long-term memories. A cat's brain functioning has been compared to that of a two to three year old child and, when compared to a dog, a cat's memory is almost 200 times more retentive. Without repeated and reinforced training, a dog's memory span is about 5 minutes. Cats, on the other hand, averaged about 16 hours, only IF the activity benefited THEM.
Gigantes, nice that you like cats. The complete intellectual superiority of cats over dogs is evident from the number of sniffer cats, seeing-eye cats, guard cats and police cats that one finds all over the world.
Woof, I never mentioned a 'complete intellectual superiority of cats over dogs', only points in their favor. Nice try at putting words in my mouth, however...
But since you pine for dogs, here are some fun facts for you- dogs have one of the greatest olfactory systems of any animal, with appropriately-devoted large brain areas for scent detection. According to the NHM of LA, Dogs can discriminate odors at concentrations nearly 100 million times lower than humans can.
Dogs also have superior short-term memory than cats and are born pack animals, and I'd venture to say, greater physical stamina than cats, all traits which greatly assist their natural ability at the jobs you mention.
And no... I've never seen a dog do anything foolish in my life!
the cat isn't trying to have sex with the dead one. get over it your wrong. so if my cat bites me and kneads me he's trying to have sex with me? i don't think so; he's trying to get a reaction from the cat. your a stupid person for even making that comment and trying to defend it every time repeating your self. your an ass hole. animals get depressed and sad when another pet dies. even my goldfish act different when one dies.

Complex? It does not need to be. It's just sad.

Also humping cats, like in the video.
