@MJ I don't see Betty of course but I feel what you feel too trust me and off-topic in several years ago when I am radio amateur know around the world as PY2-xxx and PX2-xxxx here in Brazil so I have some BFF in Rhode Island hehe that big coincidence but unfortunately I lost contact with them because all of them died
"Instance" means "time", which I'm sure you knew prior to your catnip abuse. Let this be a lesson to all the kittens out there! Seriously - love all pets!
Despite your definition of instance, the question remained avoided and unanswered. So what are the second and fourth "time"? And catnip is nothing compared to the stuff that you took with result that you couldn't count up to 2, nor know what you were seeing the cat do.
Maybe the cat hears the ball clank in the cup? But really, who cares how they did it. It's fun stuff. Can the cat play Three-card Monte though?
We mustn't underestimate a cat's visual ability to follow sharp quick movements of small objects. But your explanation of hearing the ball is also viable and I was wondering why nobody had made it before. As for playing the Three-card Monte, if the cat relies on vision and not sound, then it would be the same thing. So you can take your cat along and win some money off those Three-card Monte conmen.
I may have tasted a gal or two in my life time that could have smelled kinda fishy but ain't never had one that tasted like a wood chuck
Both are possible, but I doubt them. For example, the cat is not seen to sniff, while the quick shuffling of the cups would diffuse any smell and make it difficult to locate. For me, seeing or hearing the ball are more likely.
@Katzenfreund: Cats have a much better sense of hearing and motion than humans do. They're nocturnal hunters. That's Feline Physiology 101.
Yes. I know that, don’t forget I’m an expert on cats with a website dedicated to them. As for facts on cats, see here: http://tomscats.wixsite.com/cats/cat-facts For example, under Sense of Smell it says: “Contrary to popular belief, the average cat has better sense of smell than the average dog. And it is more than ten times as sensitive as a human’s. Furthermore, a cat possesses an additional “smell-taste” sense, the vomeronasal organ.”
