Flexible feline spines shed light on "falling cat" problem

For a long time, scientists believed that it would be impossible for a cat in free fall to turn over. That's why French physiologist Etienne-Jules Marey's 1894 high-speed photographs of a falling cat landing on its feet proved so shocking to Marey's peers. But Gbur has emphasized that cats are living creatures, not idealized rigid bodies, so the motion is more complicated than one might think.

Killing your dog with kindness? Puppuccino is equivalent of milkshake

A single 30g cube of cheese, frequently featured in 'cheese tax' clips, is the equivalent of a person eating two and a half bags of crisps. A puppuccino - a popular treat from coffee shops that is made with whipped cream - carries a similar calorie hit to a McDonald's milkshake. More indulgent treats can be even more damaging, with just one slice of pizza making up around a third of a dog's daily calories.

My Picky 16-Year-Old Cat Finally Ate Every Bite, Thanks to This Smart Feeder

Like most pet owners, I'd do just about anything for my cat. Especially in the last two years or so, as my beloved calico Phoebe has entered into what the vet calls the "geriatric" stage.
