In most cases, cats are kept aloof and independent: the animal comes to the owner for affection only when it wants to.
However, some pets behave completely differently: they literally chase their owner.
This behavior is much more like dog loyalty.
Why do cats get too attached to humans?
You saved her
If you want an animal to truly love and appreciate you, then you should save it from the street. Such cats show tender affection for their owner.
As a rule, a pet picked up from the street at an early age becomes incredibly loyal.
Raised from an early age
Cats have a good memory, so it will not be difficult for them to match that you raised them. If you take a very small kitten and spend a lot of time with him, then he will become very fond of his owner.
Experts believe that the owner becomes practically a mother for the cat.
Reasons not related to love
Sometimes a cat has no trust in a person, so she decided to literally keep an eye on her “neighbor”. In this case, you just need more time to build relationships.
Sometimes a pet simply has nothing to do, so it becomes a kind of entertainment for him to pursue the owner.
Also, a sudden interest from the cat suggests that you need to check her bowl – it is quite possible that the pet is simply hungry.
Humans share an incredible 98.8% of the same DNA that chimpanzees have. In addition, we share almost the same sets of genes as mice and 80% of the same DNA in cows.
We can safely say that humans share a large percentage of our DNA with many different animals. From this we can assume that the percentage at which we resemble cats is also high, right? To the delight of cat lovers, humans and pet animals, we share about 90% of their DNA!
Cats share a surprising amount of DNA with us
Pets are thought to be closest to humans in terms of DNA other than chimpanzees. However, we obviously don’t have much in common with cats about the way we live our lives. They are carnivores, while we are omnivores and in these needs we are more like dogs. On the other hand, they don’t use the bathroom the way we do, they don’t watch TV, they don’t go to work (which we envy, even though they work for their food in nature). Typical of all animals, we would say that they are more primitive than us. However, why do we share so much DNA?
Our shared DNA is just a marker of genetic makeup and defects. This does not make us act in the same ways or have the same way of life, which should be obvious if we look at differences only in humans.
How shared DNA can benefit humans and cats
Sharing so much DNA with these purring friends means we can learn more about each species and how we deal with stress, disease, childbirth, and anything that interests us. This would help us better understand why purring friends develop certain problems and how we can help them.
Conversely, we can probably learn more about how diseases develop by focusing on how they occur in cats. Unfortunately, there is no known human research that can help humans and cats learn from each other based on their similarities or at least not at this stage.
Therefore, we can be glad that we have so many similarities, but at the moment we cannot use them for anything that is of great benefit to us and our lives.
It is important to note that research should never be done that could harm a human or cat (physically or mentally) in the name of science. There are many ways to study both types when it comes to learning more about our shared DNA and how it affects our lives. A number of organizations and countries are fighting (and successfully) against these research methods.
In conclusion, we can say that cats and humans can share a large amount of DNA, but we are very different species.
Just because we share so much DNA doesn’t mean we should live more like cats or that cats should live longer than we do. It’s just that our bodies and molecules are made up of many of the same types of information.
24-year-old resident of the Indian state of Gujarat Kshama Bindu will marry herself. The girl made this decision because she “never wanted to get married,” but she dreamed of becoming a bride. TASS writes about this with reference to The Times of India on June 2, 2022.
The wedding will take place on June 11 and will be the first case of a sologamous marriage in the country. According to the girl, this process will be a manifestation of “fidelity to yourself and unconditional love.” “People marry someone they love. I love myself and therefore I will marry myself, ”Kshama notes. She adds that her parents have already given their blessing.
The wedding will take place in one of the temples of the city of Gotri, after which the girl will go on a two-week honeymoon on the coast of Goa.
What else is known:
The current legislation of India does not provide for the possibility of marriage with oneself. However, for some citizens of the country, wedding rituals are more important than marriage.
India’s Supreme Court recognizes prostitution as a profession recently.
In India, prostitution is officially recognized as a profession. Thus, the country’s Supreme Court ruled that sex workers have all the rights guaranteed by the constitution, including the right to legal protection. This was reported by TASS with reference to the Asian Age newspaper on May 27, 2022.
The court decision obliges police officers to refrain from brutality and violence against sex workers and their children. The document also requires the media to ensure the confidentiality of these people and not disclose their personal data.
According to the Supreme Court, sex workers experience “the full brunt of the social injustice associated with their work, are removed to the margins of society, deprived of their right to a decent life and the opportunity to provide the same right to their children.”
What is important to know:
At the moment, prostitution in India is legalized. According to experts, about two million women work in this area.
A significant part of the scientific community denies the very existence of the Aztatlan culture.
In the Mexican city of Mazatlán, repairmen accidentally discovered ancient human remains. The found burial is very different from the traditional burials of Mazatlán.
The work was immediately stopped so that the employees of the National Institute of Anthropology and History of Mexico (INAH) carried out archaeological excavations.
According to archaeologist Víctor Joel Santos Ramírez, rescue coordinator, the area is a natural high hill near the mouth of the El Quelite River. In pre-Hispanic times, people settled there in order, on the one hand, to live near the river and use its resources, and on the other, to avoid seasonal flooding.
Part of the surface of the hill was covered with crushed shells. But under this impromptu “floor” was a human burial. It is definitely unusual.
Let’s start with the fact that archaeologists have found the remains of only one person – that is, this is not a cemetery, not a place of regular burials. At the same time, three fragmented ceramic vessels of rather fine workmanship and a smoking pipe were found in the burial. The preservation of human remains is very poor, due to local climatic conditions.
Mazatlán was founded by the Spaniards in 1531, ten years after the fall of Tenochtitlan. But not too regular excavations within the city show that this area was inhabited even before the Europeans. A number of burials found indicate that the indigenous inhabitants of those places adhered to the same ritual: they buried the dead in large vessels. It is not entirely clear why Mexican archaeologists attributed this find to the Aztatlán culture: similar pottery is found in many places in Mesoamerica up to the territory of modern Costa Rica.
The found burial, therefore, strongly stands out from the local burial tradition. Mexican archaeologists have suggested that they have found the tomb of Aztatlán, a man from Aztlán, the mythical homeland of the Aztecs.
In general, today there is no evidence that Aztlán ever existed anywhere other than myths. In the scientific community, it is perceived as something between Atlantis and Camelot, but they are looking for it with undying persistence, including for political reasons.
Scholars agree that the Aztecs roamed North America for a long time before founding Tenochtitlan in 1325. And around the same time, the emergence of the legend of Aztlan is attributed. The myths do not contain exact indications of where he was. It is only clear that north of Tenochtitlan.
The description is also rather poor: a small island in a lake inhabited by herons. Based on these, frankly, poor signs, at the end of the 19th century, Mexican historians announced that Aztlán was located on Mescaltitan, a small island in mangrove swamps. Local residents (now there are less than two thousand people) found a certain amount of pre-Columbian ceramics, but no one conducted serious archaeological excavations there. Accordingly, this assumption has not received scientific approval.
A century later, the question of the location of the ancestral home of the Aztecs suddenly became relevant again. This was due to the growing number of Mexican migrants in the US. It is not entirely clear who first came up with the idea to look for the roots of the Aztec culture in the United States. But whoever seeks will find.
Petroglyphs found in Shogo Canyon in the US state of Utah. They are divided into three groups and attributed to three different Indian cultures. The images of one group were considered by some researchers to be similar to the images carved on the Stone of the Sun – a basalt disk on which the Aztec cosmogony is schematically displayed.
And on Antelope Island, in the middle of the Great Salt Lake in the same state, seven caves were discovered. And this coincides with another (probably earlier) legend about the ancestral home of the Aztecs – about Chicomostok, which consists of just seven caves.
Of course, none of this proves in any way that Aztlán was in Utah. Although the Aztecs themselves in their nomadic years could be there and even live for some time. But scientific evidence rarely matters in an ideological struggle. And with her, the situation is such that those who yesterday were illegal migrants without documents, today identify themselves as the indigenous population of Utah. And claims put forward appropriate.
Although it is not yet clear on what basis Mexican archaeologists attributed the found burial to the Aztatlán culture, it is still of great interest. It remains to be hoped that facts, not legends, will become the basis for the final conclusions of scientists.
Greek beach surprised tourists by introducing an unexpected ban.
The Marikes beach in the Rafina area of Attica, in the southern part of the country, which is particularly popular, has banned smoking. This was announced by the electronic edition of the Greek newspaper Ethnos. According to Mayor Evangelos Burnus, there will still be a designated smoking area on the beach, but it will be small.
The beginning of the introduction of a ban on smoking on beaches in Greece began in 2020, recalls “Ethnos”. According to Cigaret Cycle, 30 billion butts are thrown away every year. The non-profit organization is conducting a recycling campaign in 15 municipalities in the country.
The sludge is collected in special waste bins and exported abroad, where it is processed. The extracted toxic substances and the composted paper residues and residual tobacco are used for the production of fertilizers and products such as pallets and pots.
Insects can now be bought from stores and eaten for breakfast
The European Commission has approved the sale of domestic crickets (Acheta domesticus) as a novel food in the EU.
The house cricket becomes the third insect allowed for consumption in the European Union. From July 2021 we can “enjoy” the taste of yellow-mealworm, and from November last year we can try a migrating grasshopper.
The European Commission has indicated that domestic crickets will be available on the EU market in all forms: frozen, dried or powdered. They are intended for consumption as a snack or food supplement.
The decision was approved by the Member States on 8 December 2021 following a rigorous assessment by the European Food Safety Authority, which concluded that the consumption of this insect was safe in accordance with the methods of use provided by the manufacturer. In Brussels, the Food and Agriculture Organization cited insects as a nutritious and healthy source of food high in fat, protein, vitamins, fiber and minerals. In her statement, she added that insects already make up a significant part of the daily diet of hundreds of millions of people around the world and can be identified as an alternative source of protein that would facilitate the transition to a more sustainable diet in Europe.
The EU Novel Food Regulation has existed since 1997, with the supranational body defining the term as “newly developed, innovative food, food produced using new technologies and production processes, and food traditionally consumed outside the EU”.
Although insect consumption is not widespread in Europe, it is far from uncommon in many parts of the world. Roasted locusts are eaten in Mexico and some other parts of Central America, often as a snack or with alcohol. Seasoned with salt, hot peppers and lime juice, they are known as chapulins, writes The Washington Post.
Crickets are also eaten regularly in Thailand and some other parts of Asia. The European Commission acknowledges that insects are already on the menu in some parts of Europe, as whole insects are not subject to the same approval restrictions. According to a UN estimate, about 2 billion people already include insects in their diet.
In recent years, there has been pressure to increase insect consumption, with advocates arguing that they can be just as nutritious as meat and better for the environment because they do not require large amounts of land to grow and do not emit greenhouse gases such as methane on a significant scale.
In Poland, with the beginning of the summer season, the number of vacancies for refugees has increased. However, at the same time, Ukrainian women, and we are talking mainly about women, will have to learn new skills. New seasonal work for Ukrainians was previously designed mainly for men. However, the war in Ukraine has made its own adjustments: now there is an excess of requests from women on the Polish labor market.
About who Ukrainian women who want to find work in Poland will have to retrain as, was told in the analytical center for employment Gremi Personal.
As it turned out, with the beginning of the summer in Poland, there were much more vacancies. However, most of these jobs require remarkable physical strength, and therefore are designed for the most part for men. At the same time, the vast majority of Ukrainian refugees are now women.
Therefore, in Poland, more and more often they began to offer women to get a “man’s job.” Of course, if it does not require extreme muscle tension and great physical endurance. In particular, the logistics industry was one of the first to actively use Ukrainian women. So, in some warehouses, they even reduced the size of the packages so that women could turn them around.
At some enterprises, the work of operators on a forklift is extremely scarce. Therefore, they even organized special courses to train women in this specialty.
In addition, the active season of harvesting at meat processing plants and fish factories has begun. Previously, these jobs were predominantly men. However, this year they also take women. Moreover, in many enterprises, the work schedule for women with children is adapted in such a way that the mother has time to raise children.
Recall that Poland from June 1 stops paying benefits to refugees from Ukraine. Help will be left only for a small part of Ukrainians.
Temperatures in the southern Turkish counties of Denizli and Adana have reached 40 degrees Celsius, Turkish media reported, quoted by BTA.
A temperature of 40 degrees Celsius was reported today in the southwestern Turkish city of Denizli, where due to the unusual for the season heat in many places the asphalt began to melt. The melting has caused great difficulties for drivers and pedestrians in the city, according to CNN-Turk.
In Adana yesterday at noon the mercury column reported 40 degrees. Many of the city’s residents chose to spend most of the day in the parks, according to the DHA news agency.
Three soldiers fainted at different times in front of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London during the thanksgiving service in honor of Elizabeth II and her 70-year rule, the Daily Mail reported.
A soldier in the Queen’s Guard fainted when Megan and Harry entered, another collapsed when Prince Charles, who represented the Queen, arrived because she was too tired to attend. It is not specified for the third. One soldier was taken away and another gathered and continued to stand.
Harry and Megan joined the royal family for the second day of the anniversary celebrations.
Harry and Megan also attended the Trooping the Color festivities yesterday, but stayed out of the spotlight at the former Duke of Wellington’s former office with more than 30 other relatives.
Earlier today, Omid Scoby, author of Finding Freedom, told BBC Breakfast that Harry and his wife hoped to remain as inconspicuous as possible during their stay in the United Kingdom.
He also commented that the couple has a “warm and close” relationship with the queen.
A spokesman for Buckingham Palace told CNN today that the Queen will watch the Thanksgiving service on television from Windsor Castle. Her son, Prince Andrew, was another notable absence from the church because he tested positive for coronavirus.
Megan and Harry were warmly greeted by the applauding crowd. Prior to the event, there was much speculation in the British press about how the couple would be accepted after their decision to retire from the royal family and move to California two years ago.
The public was less enthusiastic about British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who was both applauded and booed when he arrived with his wife, Carrie.
The last guests to land at St. Paul’s were Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, followed by Crown Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
More than 400 people from all four nations of the United Kingdom were invited to the event. London Mayor Sadiq Khan was among those present.
Harry and Megan were sitting in the second row, along with Princesses Eugene and Beatrice, Prince Andrew’s daughters, and their husbands.
William and Harry, with their wives, were housed at both ends of the room, so the Daily Mail came out with the headline, “Reunited … but apart.”
The media in Northern Macedonia have accused Bulgaria of racism during a match between the two national teams on Thursday. As it is known, the match of the League of Nations in Razgrad ended with a score of 1:1.
Sportmedia.mk published a photo from the stadium, which shows a black flag with edelweiss on it. In Skopje, it is said to be a nationalist symbol.
“When we thought that the match between Bulgaria and Northern Macedonia, played in Razgrad, passed without scandals and a political note, this happened. Nazi hue. Why and who exactly brought this flag, and what message he wants to convey with it, we still do not know, but it will become clear through the investigation that follows. UEFA said that it was normal to file a complaint and now the Bulgarian Football Union will have to answer the questions, “the media quoted Blitz as saying.
Edelweiss is popular in Bulgaria mostly as a symbol of the Bulgarian Tourist Union. However, the alpine flower was one of the symbols used by the elite mountainous parts of the Wehrmacht during World War II.
