@error That makes me wish I had a cat with which to conduct an experiment.

@dcon the first two are obvious BS, so I won't even bother reading the rest.

A cat's purr has the power to self-heal

@Zecc The purr heals itself independent of the cat.

Despite the awkward sentence structure, this one is actually serious:
Also:
Domestic cats, servals, ocelots, and pumas produce fundamental, dominant, or strong frequencies at exactly 25 Hz and 50 Hz, the two low frequencies that best promote bone growth/fracture healing [Chen etâal., Zhong. Wai Ke Za Zhi. 32, 217â219 (1994)]. These four species have a strong harmonic exactly at, or within 2 Hz of 100 Hz, a frequency used therapeutically for pain, edema, wounds, and dyspnea.
I wonder if felines in the USA purr at 29.97 or 30 Hz instead.

Cheshire cats are famous for those tricks.

Baked, too.

@PleegWat The proper term is "fired".

@PleegWat It's an area where English is tricky. There's still a huge difference between "Eric is baked" and "Eric is fired".
Though one might follow from the other.

I've probably encountered this one. But I hardly use it day-to-day and clay is baked, not fired, in Dutch.

At least it wasn't a power cable.

Yeah, but (the cat did throw the vase before throwing it, she didn't fire it in between).

TL;DW: Apparently, the defendant called 911 about a man with a gun, but when police arrived, he admitted lying to the 911 dispatcher about that; he was just upset about his cat. Exactly what he was upset about and why he thought this needed police may be explained in the video, but I haven't gotten that far, yet.

A bug was submitted about Links the Cat complaining that it was âlicking itself suggestivelyâ. I donât know which specific animation the complaint was about, but maybe it was this one, where Links grooms its leg.
I donât know long it took to investigate, but the bug was eventually resolved as âBy Designâ with the comment, âMy cat does this.â

My mother was talking about how her mother solved the problem with their cats having fleas when she was little. Apparently my grandmother washed them in DDT. Never had fleas again.
how long did live?
they died of old age. One of them lived until they were 15 or 16.

Yes, I'm sure there are also healthy old men who have smoked a pack of cigarettes and drank two glasses of whisky every day for the last 80 years.
