Cats

The size of some furry pets can evoke surprise and admiration. One such "giant" lives in Australia. He's a Maine Coon named Omar. He's considered the largest domestic cat in the world, and his photos are truly impressive.

There's a common belief that a cat's gaze conceals danger. There are various theories about why you shouldn't look a cat in the eye. Some attribute it to mystical reasons, others to a peculiarity of the animal's psyche.

Scientists have explained why cats knead us with their paws—it's a unique expression of a pet's feelings, triggered by certain events in their life. Joy, sadness, care, gratitude... How should we react to these paw-like gestures without offending our pet?

Cats are rightfully considered the most mysterious of pets. Their behavior is sometimes very difficult to explain. This independent yet affectionate creature has many strange habits. One of them is a frequent need to sleep at the feet of its owner. Is this an attachment to its owner, a desire to remind them of its presence, or simply a fondness for a soft bed or sofa?

If you have a cat, you've probably scolded it more than once for knocking things off tables or shelves, without understanding the reason for this behavior. People assume that cats are simply mischievous, but this isn't true. Every action has its reasons. So why do cats love to knock things over so much?
