Whimsical Friday

This is a lighthearted post that touches something I love, yes, it is true, Cats! But cat loving can put you at odds with the world, and don't get me wrong, I am not a dog or chinchilla or fish hater and all pets have their merits and demerits but they all do one thing, they become companions, helpers and friends! Whoops, that is three! We can become deeply attached to them, and it really makes no sense at all, but find me a pet hater, well this person is...I feel sorry for them! Now I can't value a pet above a human, nor deify them, that is wrong. But here is something of a mystery to me, it seems to me a bit odd, but science claims to explain a great many mysteries, why the PBS Nova series has been claiming to explain the way the cosmos works! Yet it can't come to really explain exactly how a cat purrs, Yes, I had heard this but a really very short search of the Internet and some really prestigious research work has come to at least three explanations as to how a cat purr is created. We are unraveling the human genome, we purport to explain the universe, and yet no one has conquered this small mystery or why it is that cat's that roar don't purr, hmmpff. Thank you Lord for confounding the wisdom of the wise and giving us the happiness that comes when we hear a cat's contented purring. Remember this, no one has had the police called because of a cat purr...some interesting Cat facts are linked here. And for Diesel truck fanatics, check out the link to find what the cat has in common with your beloved engine! That is all for a Friday. Thanks for reading, and for checking out the Ads, they are helping with the rent!

We have a mystery!
