Why is urination time 21 s, and why is this time constant across animal
sizes? The numerical value of 21 s arises from the underlying physics
involving the physical properties of urine as well as the dimensions of the
urinary system. Our model shows that differences in bladder capacity are
offset by differences in flow rate, resulting in a bladder emptying time
that does not change with system size. Such invariance has been observ... 阅读全帖 |

Compared to other carnivorous mammals known to attack humans in general, the
frequency with which wolves have been recorded to kill or prey on people is
much lower, indicating that though potentially dangerous, wolves are among
the least threatening for their size and predatory potential.

游生物是繁殖力巨强的小型mammals(相信适应新环境也很快），猫的天生捕鸟能力是很

而且什么叫做融入当地生态，就是取得新平衡而不是破坏食物链。外来物种入侵时，大

猫，自身能不能融入野生生物圈都是个问题，更别提制造灾难了。
我认为的就是，就算撒手不管流浪猫让他们自生自灭，最终的结果就是他们挤进本地生
物圈，然后各种生物数量达到新的平衡。所谓会造成生态灾难是很难的，中国城市里现在也没
有天生的野猫（除了草原野猫），流浪猫还不是等于引进一个新物种，竞争者和天敌还少一点（中国没有
那么多野生小动物），90%都没绝育，结果也没见它们爆炸式增长 （当然，很多都被人吃了）。

都是肉食动物，我们什么时候看到老虎啊狮子啊豹子啊，吃玉米，土豆，大米，大黄豆
，豌豆神马的。都是肉食动物，为什么要让猫儿吃呢？
小猫的生命只有一次，比我们短很多。我们都希望他们能健健康康，快快乐乐。
饮食是小猫健康情况最大的影响因素。所以健康平衡的饮食很重要。
不健康的饮食，会增加小猫生病的概率（肥胖，糖尿病，泌尿系统疾病等），即会让猫
儿和主人受很多不必要的肉体和精神的痛苦，也会增加主人的经济负担。
所以还不如，pay in advance, 尽量让小猫吃的健康一点点。
1.carb对猫体不好，会增加肾脏和泌尿系统疾病的概率。
2.carb不能提供猫体需要的营养。猫无法依靠谷物合成体内必需营养物质。
3.摄入大量carb容易产生饮食紊乱，抑制猫吃蛋白质，造成恶性循环。
4.carb对牙齿健康不好 （牙痛不是病，痛了真要命）
为什么商店买的干猫粮会有carb呢？
主要的原因是为了减低成本啊，成本低+卖的贵&多=多赚钱
