Fakta Unik Tentang Kucing / Cat



Tahukah kamu, kucing (Felis silvestrid-catus), terutama kucing rumah adalah salah satu hewan predator paling hebat di dunia. Kucing ini mampu membunuh dan atau memakan beberapa ribu species, mengalahkan kucing besar (seperti singa, harimau, dan sejenisnya) yang hanya mampu memangsa kurang dari 100 species. Namun karena ukurannya terbilang kecil, maka tidak berbahaya bagi manusia (syukurlah…). Namun tetap saja sangat berbahaya apabila kucing ini terinfeksi rabies, seperti yang dikutip dari beritaunik.net
Kucing telah berasosiasi dengan kehidupan manusia sekurangnya sejak 3500 tahun yang lalu. Ketika itu orang Mesir kuno telah menggunakan kucing untuk mengusir hama tikus dan hewan pengerat lainnya dari hasil panen mereka. Namun, percaya atau tidak, di dunia ini hanya terdapat 1% populasi kucing di dunia yang termasuk galur murni atau kucing ras. Sisanya adalah kucing hasil pencampuran dari berbagai ras atau biasa yang kita sebut sebagai kucing kampung. Karena itu, kucing ras termasuk kucing yang paling sering dicari dan mahal harganya.
Di Indonesia, suara kucing sering ditulis dengan kata “Meong”. Dalam bahasa Inggris yang digunakan di Amerika, suara kucing sering ditulis dengan “Meow”. Di negara Inggris sendiri, suara kucing ditulis “Miaow”. Kalau bahasa Jepang sering ditulis dengan kata “Nya”.
Kucing biasanya memiliki berat badan antara 2,5 hingga 7 kg dan jarang melebihi 10 kg, kecuali diberi makan berlebih, si pussy bisa mencapai berat badan 23 kg. Dalam penangkaran, kucing dapat hidup selama 15 hingga 20 tahun, dimana kucing tertua pernah diketahui berusia 36 tahun! Kucing liar yang hidup di lingkungan urban modern hanya mampu hidup selama 2 tahun atau bahkan kurang dari itu.
Kucing termasuk hewan yang sangat bersih. Mereka sering merawat diri dengan menjilati rambut mereka. Saliva atau air liur mereka adalah agen pembersih yang kuat. tapi dapat memicu alergi pada manusia. Kadangkala kucing memuntahkan semacam hairball atau gulungan rambut yang terkumpul di dalam perutnya. Sementara itukucing dapat menyimpan energi dengan cara tidur lebih sering ketimbang hewan lain. Lama tidur kucing bervariasi antara 12 – 16 jam per hari, dengan angka rata-rata 13 – 14 jam. Tapi tidak jarang dijumpai kucing yang tidur selama 20 jam dalam satu hari!
Percaya atau tidak, di abad pertengahan kucing dianggap berasosiasi dengan penyihir dan sering dibunuh dengan cara dibakar dan dilempar dari tempat tinggi. Sejumlah ahli sejarah percaya bahwa wabah Black Death atau wabah pes menyebar dengan cepat di Eropa pada abad ke-14 akibat tahyul itu. Hal itu disebabkan banyaknya pembunuhan kucing yang dilakukan sehingga meningkatkan populasi tikus yang membawa wabah pes tersebut.

Cale-se!

   Somos obrigados a vivermos calados, tudo o que pensamos tem de ser reprimido, nossos pensamentos apenas podem voar dentro de nossa imaginação , mas queremos voar sem medo. Somos forçados a não falar, a não julgar aquilo que achamos errado, somos obrigados a aceitar, também nascemos aprendendo isso, não julgueis. Calados somos forçados a ser, somos apenas alienados e nada faremos, nada pensamos ou podemos fazer para mudar, também ninguém escuta as palavras de uma criança, somos apenas tolos, apenas pessoas que não viveram nada da vida para reclamar, sei que vivemos o suficiente para que todo este mundo não nos agrade... Mas somos forçados a nos isolar em nosso mundo, e sofrermos, e vivermos, e morrermos calados.
