<p>''I used to have a recurring nightmare about my friend's cat.

Video of sports journalist getting hit by cat during live broadcast goes viral

<p>'What can you do for me?' is perhaps a rhetorical question lovers across the world ask their partners. And those on the receiving end often reply something to the effect of 'anything my dear'. The banter is almost always playful and none of the people involved expect anyone to do anything insanely weird. But then there are few who do it anyway.</p>

<p>It is not known whether his fiancee challenged him to do it, but a man burnt down the school after it became clear that the woman would fail the exams.</p>

<p>The incident took place in Gharbiya province of Egypt. As per report&nbsp;in The National News website, Egypt's prosecutor general said that a man was arrested near Cairo after he set fire to the school his fiancee was studying in.</p>

<p>The 21-year-old suspect reportedly told the police that he feared his marriage getting postponed due to his fiancee having to repeat the school year.</p>

<p>Fortunately, nobody was injured or killed in the fire, but damage to property was reportedly worth thousands of dollars.</p>

<p>The man fled the scene after setting fire to the building. However, he was spotted near the school by locals who relayed the information to the police who arrested the man.</p>

Fiancee fails exam, man burns down school

<p>Eight ancient vessels that were damaged in the 2020 Beirut explosion will be displayed at the British Museum, taking visitors through the laborious restoration process.</p>

<p>The Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic-era vessels were restored and will be displayed as a part of its "Shattered Glass of Beirut" exhibition before being sent back to Lebanon later this year. The 74 items in the case at the American University of Beirut included the vessels.</p>

<p>The incident happened when the building was struck by the shockwave of the port bomb that took place on August 4, 2020, three kilometres away, and broke the glass items inside.</p>

<p>Duygu Camurcuoglu, a senior conservator said that it was difficult to classify each piece of glass into whether it came from an ancient vessel or a display case, which belonged to a team of experts.</p>

<p>Visitors to the exhibition will follow the glass vessels’ journey from the explosion to their display in the renowned London Museum.&nbsp; The display will have lighting to highlight any glass flaws like cracks and gaps.</p>

<p>The jars are said to be significant in relaying the tale of the invention of ground-breaking glassblowing technology in Lebanon in the first century BC, which allowed for the mass manufacture of glass artifacts and made it possible for the public.</p>

<p>The conservators take great delight in their restoration and the collaborative effort that went into it, Camurcuoglu said.</p>

<p>She further continued, "We all individually felt that, I think, we contributed to something by working on these objects by sharing this pain, these emotions." She continued, "So it's not only about the conservation... but also the working together and achieving something together," AFP reported.</p>

Visitors to the exhibition will follow the glass vessels’ journey from the explosion to their display in the renowned London Museum.

The conservators take great delight in their restoration and the collaborative effort that went into it, Camurcuoglu said. She further continued, "We all individually felt that, I think, we contributed to something by working on these objects by sharing this pain, these emotions." She continued, "So it's not only about the conservation... but also the working together and achieving something together," AFP reported. (With inputs from agencies)

London Museum to display ancient vessels damaged in Beirut explosion

<p>A significant study suggests that the risk of heart attacks may be significantly increased by exhaust fumes and abrupt braking.</p>

<p>Increases in nitric oxide, a frequent traffic-related pollutant, and the likelihood of having an attack have been linked in a study conducted in Germany on nearly 18,000 people.</p>

<p>The risk of having a heart attack increased by 1% for every 10 g of air pollution added to the daily average, and by 4% during a three-day period of high pollution.</p>

<p>According to researchers, smokers did not appear to be affected by smog, which is likely because they were already breathing toxic fumes continuously.</p>

<p>It comes after warnings that the UK may experience up to 11,000 annual deaths from heart disease and circulatory conditions as a result of air pollution.</p>

<p>Heart attacks decrease in hot weather, according to the research, which will be presented this weekend at the European Society of Cardiology's annual congress in Barcelona.</p>

<p>Additionally, every 10°C increase in temperature was linked to a 6% decrease in the frequency of heart attacks.</p>

<p>17,873 patients who experienced a heart attack between 2008 and 2014 were included in the study.</p>

<p>The study concludes that traffic and combustion pollution must be reduced if we are to reduce the risk of acute myocardial infarction.</p>

<p>An observational study cannot establish causation. Given that nitric oxide and PM10 promote inflammation, atherosclerosis is partially brought on by inflammatory processes, and no associations were found in smokers, it is plausible that air pollution is a contributing factor in myocardial infarction.</p>

Traffic pollution may significantly increase the risk of heart attack

<p>Dogs are an instant source of serotonin and oxytocin for many. The way they jump across the room and rush to their owners, wagging their cute little tails is something that seals an eternal bond between humans and their most faithful pet. Now, a study has revealed that during this reuniting moment, dogs tend to get more teary-eyed than usual.</p>

<p>Reportedly, the study published by Japanese scientists in the journal Current Biology states that dogs tear up with joy and happiness whenever they are reunited with their owners after a prolonged period of absence.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We found that dogs shed tears associated with positive emotions. We also made the discovery of oxytocin as a possible mechanism underlying it," said one of the authors related to the study.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The team of scientists used a test called the Schirmer Tear Test to gauge its hypothesis on 20 dogs. In the test, a paper strip is placed inside the eyelid of the furry pets for&nbsp;a minute before and after they were reunited with their owners.&nbsp;</p>

<p>To make the results more comprehensive and true, the scientists used a normal meeting of the dog and its owner as the baseline. Afterwards, both readings were compared, allowing the scientists to make an informed inference.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The study clearly showed that the dogs produced more tears within the first five minutes of the reunification. Reportedly, the baseline readings were&nbsp;around the 22mm mark,&nbsp;which increased by 10 per cent after the meeting.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the researchers, they even compared the data when the dogs were reunited with someone they were familiar with. However, the tears only increased when reunited with the owner.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Well, a certain company named Tineco is taking care of it as well. Reportedly, the company's new product, a $340 toaster that connects to your home's Wi-Fi can be used to toast bread from afar and most importantly, according to your liking and preference. It is expected to be rolled out in the markets from next month.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Two slices don’t have to be the same, meaning that you can individually adjust the toast for each slot.

<p>The "exact formula" for estimating the likelihood—and timing—of a child yelling out during a long car ride has been developed by a statistician.</p>

<p>Dr James Hind from Nottingham Trent University claims that T = 70 + 0.5E + 15F - 10S is the formula parents can use to calculate the likelihood of their children having car accidents in the backseat.</p>

<p>Dr Hind's research, which was developed alongside LV= Britannia Rescue and based on responses from 2,000 parents, found that the time (T) the average child will typically take to throw a tantrum during a long car journey is 70 minutes.</p>

<p>Every minute a child is entertained (E) reduces the likelihood of a tantrum, while food (F) allows parents to postpone the tantrum by 15 minutes; however, having siblings (S) in the car was found to increase the likelihood of backseat breakdowns by 10 minutes.</p>

<p>According to the study, most kids will inquire as to whether they are "nearly there." Repeat it four times while driving, starting 32 minutes into the trip.</p>

<p>The survey found that boredom is the leading cause of backseat tantrums, cited by 68% of parents, followed by the journey being too long (62%) and the kids being hungry (6%), as families get ready for long road trips ahead of the bank holiday weekend (57 per cent).</p>

<p>Dr Hind, a professor in the School of Science and Technology at Nottingham Trent University, said that if you only have one child and you can keep them occupied and occasionally bribe them with food, you could manage two hours of tantrum-free driving. Unfortunately, two kids without toys or snacks can start a temper tantrum in just 40 minutes.</p>

<p>There is a limit to how much snacks can help, so limit your intake to two per hour at most. The most important thing is to have fun, but even that falls short on really long trips.</p>

Is that a 'downed' plane? Google Maps users spot spooky image in Australian rainforest

<p>After Sony was accused of "ripping off" UK customers, millions of PlayStation owners may be eligible for a share of up to $5.91 billion.</p>

<p>According to the class action, Sony violated competition laws and abused its market position.</p>

<p>If successful, approximately 8.9 million UK customers could receive damages ranging from $79 to $664, not including interest.</p>

<p>According to the allegation, Sony sold digital games and in-game purchases at excessive prices, potentially causing customers to overpay.</p>

<p>It asserts that the video game industry behemoth added a 30% commission to each digital game or in-game purchase made through the PlayStation Store website.</p>

<p>According to consumer rights advocate Alex Neill, who is leading the claim, this ultimately affected how much customers paid for games.</p>

<p>Sony has not yet addressed the allegations.</p>

<p>Since August 19, 2016, anyone in the UK who has bought digital games or add-on content on their console or through the PlayStation Store is automatically covered by the claim.</p>

<p>You don't have to register in order to be eligible for a portion of the award should the claim ultimately be accepted.</p>

<p>By registering on playstationyouoweus.co.uk, anyone who believes they are entitled to compensation can stay informed about the claim.</p>

<p>You'll be informed of what to do next if Sony loses or a payout is decided.</p>

<p>However, even if you don't sign up for updates beforehand, you can usually still add your name after a decision has been made.</p>

<p>Don't delete any purchase emails you've received from Sony; you'll need them to prove you were impacted and will typically need receipts to do so.</p>

After Sony was accused of "ripping off" UK customers, millions of PlayStation owners may be eligible for a share of up to $5.91 billion. According to the class action, Sony violated competition laws and abused its market position.

After Sony was accused of "ripping off" UK customers, millions of PlayStation owners may be eligible for a share of up to $5.91 billion. According to the class action, Sony violated competition laws and abused its market position. If successful, approximately 8.9 million UK customers could receive damages ranging from $79 to $664, not including interest. According to the allegation, Sony sold digital games and in-game purchases at excessive prices, potentially causing customers to overpay. It asserts that the video game industry behemoth added a 30% commission to each digital game or in-game purchase made through the PlayStation Store website. According to consumer rights advocate Alex Neill, who is leading the claim, this ultimately affected how much customers paid for games. Sony has not yet addressed the allegations. Since August 19, 2016, anyone in the UK who has bought digital games or add-on content on their console or through the PlayStation Store is automatically covered by the claim. You don't have to register in order to be eligible for a portion of the award should the claim ultimately be accepted. By registering on playstationyouoweus.co.uk, anyone who believes they are entitled to compensation can stay informed about the claim. You'll be informed of what to do next if Sony loses or a payout is decided. However, even if you don't sign up for updates beforehand, you can usually still add your name after a decision has been made. Don't delete any purchase emails you've received from Sony; you'll need them to prove you were impacted and will typically need receipts to do so.

Oops, busted! Bag thief in Barcelona caught stealing live on TV - Watch

<p>The mouths of fishermen in the coastal Chinese city of Xiamen are being swabbed for Covid-19, as well as the fish they catch, according to a media report.</p>

<p>As China maintains its zero Covid commitment, city officials are working to ensure there is no way for the virus to enter, ordering all fishers and their catch to undergo a daily nucleic acid test, according to The Guardian.</p>

<p>According to the political and legal committee of the Xiamen Jimei district, it was necessary to swab both returning workers and their "materials" immediately upon disembarking each day, because some fishers had made illegal trades or contact with overseas vessels while at sea, "resulting in the import of the coronavirus."</p>

<p>"At present, all people in Xiamen city need nucleic acid testing, and the fish catches must be tested as well," an employee at the Xiamen municipal ocean development bureau told local media.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to The Guardian, television news reports showed officials swabbing the mouths of fish and the undersides of crabs.&nbsp;There have been no reports of the virus being detected.</p>

<p>The rules were published late last month and made headlines this week, causing social media users to laugh.</p>

<p>A related hashtag was read 120 million times and discussed by over 6,000 people on Weibo.</p>

<p>One popular comment said: "Absurd, this embodies decades of strangeness."</p>

<p>Another suggested that the authorities go even further, incorporating marine life into the mandatory health code system and requiring fish entering China's territory from international waters to undergo a seven-day quarantine.</p>

<p>China has remained steadfast in its commitment to zero COVID, a policy that has garnered widespread domestic support but has also irritated many citizens.</p>

<p>According to The Guardian, the resource-intensive efforts have resulted in city-wide lockdowns, travel restrictions, and frequent nucleic acid testing requirements for citizens.</p>

<p>A viral video last week showed customers at an Ikea showroom outnumbering security guards in order to push through doors and avoid being locked inside after a snap quarantine order was issued to the store.</p>

<p>Multiple instant noodle makers have asked Thailand's government this week to allow them to charge more for their products in order to cover rising costs, potentially paving the way for the first price increase in the staple in 14 years.</p>

<p>Thai law regulates the price of instant noodles and other staples. According to Reuters, five noodle brands, including Wai Wai, Mama, and Japan's Nisshin, have requested approval from the Commerce Ministry to raise their prices from 6 baht ($0.17) to 8 baht ($0.23).</p>

<p>Despite requests, the government previously denied price increases to some companies.</p>

<p>Thailand's government will reportedly consider proposals on a case-by-case basis, and any solution must be a win-win for both consumers and producers, according to Thailand's Director-General of Internal Trade, Wattanasak Sur-iam, in a statement.</p>

<p>Five major producers of instant noodles have requested price increases, citing rising production costs as a reason for the increase in one of the country's most popular grocery items.</p>

<p>According to The Guardian, the war in Ukraine, as well as droughts and floods over the past year, has caused wheat, energy, and transportation costs to skyrocket, affecting noodle prices across Asia.</p>

<p>In Thailand, where inflation reached 7.61% in July, down from a 14-year high the previous month, the Thai government imposes price controls on certain essential goods to relieve consumer pressure. According to the report, price caps are placed on items such as eggs, cooking oil, and noodles, which are popular among many as a cheap and convenient meal.</p>

<p>Have you ever seen a snake with legs? No,&nbsp;right, but imagining it is so fascinating. This imagination became reality when a similar incident caught everyone's&nbsp;eyes. Social media users are taking notice of a YouTube&nbsp;user who created robotic legs to help a snake walk. Isn’t that cool?</p>

<p>On Saturday (August 13) Allen Pan posted a video on his YouTube channel, explaining his theory and engineering techniques. Pan is a content creator using technical know-how to create battlebots and other inventions that often get&nbsp;millions of views.</p>

<p>He shared the video with the name ‘Giving snakes their legs back.’ Pan then stated that the main objective behind this innovation is to showcase his love for “snakes.” Pan claimed that he wants to push nature’s boundaries by giving the snake new limbs to make up for the fact that their vestigial legs disappear before birth.</p>

Have you ever seen a snake with legs? No, right, but imagining it is so fascinating. This imagination became reality when a similar incident caught everyone's eyes.

Have you ever seen a snake with legs? No, right, but imagining it is so fascinating. This imagination became reality when a similar incident caught everyone's eyes. Social media users are taking notice of a YouTube user who created robotic legs to help a snake walk. Isn’t that cool? On Saturday (August 13) Allen Pan posted a video on his YouTube channel, explaining his theory and engineering techniques. Pan is a content creator using technical know-how to create battlebots and other inventions that often get millions of views. Also read | Musk unfiltered: A look at Elon Musk's most notorious tweets (in no particular order) He shared the video with the name ‘Giving snakes their legs back.’ Pan then stated that the main objective behind this innovation is to showcase his love for “snakes.” Pan claimed that he wants to push nature’s boundaries by giving the snake new limbs to make up for the fact that their vestigial legs disappear before birth. × After the video was posted, more than 100K people already liked it and it got more than 2 million views.

‘Giving snakes their legs back’: YouTuber gives snakes robotic legs to walk, netizens surprised

<p>Ancient bridges, vanished villages, and secret gardens that had been concealed for decades have been rediscovered as the country experiences its driest summer in half a century. As huge portions of England experience a drought, with some south-eastern districts seeing no rain since the beginning of August, reservoirs, lakes, and rivers in the country are running low.</p>

<p>While utility companies scramble to save water by enforcing hosepipe restrictions and patching leaks, history aficionados will find a rare thrill when relics from the past rise from the water.</p>

<p>Among these are old bridges that have been concealed from view for decades, as well as forgotten communities that were drowned while reservoirs were built.</p>

<p>The impacts have been visible on land as well, with parched lawns at grand mansions throughout the country revealing historic gardens that had been paved and grown over during the previous three centuries.</p>

<p>Longleat in Wiltshire, for example, has seen the traces of long-lost buildings, paths, fountains, and parterres from the 1600s become evident in the intense heat.</p>

<p>For those with a great interest in history, this should be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness these historical relics in some of Britain's most famous locales.</p>

<p>The 17th century settlement of West End, which was submerged when the Thuscross Reservoir was filled in, has resurfaced.</p>

<p>Water levels in Derbyshire's Ladybower Reservoir have dropped so low that tourists can see remnants from the former settlements of Ashopton and Derwent, which were both submerged when the reservoir was constructed in 1946.</p>

<p>When the water level in the reservoir is low, old buildings become apparent, as was most recently observed in 2018 amid equally dry conditions.</p>

<p>Severn Trent, which manages the reservoir, reports that it is now at little over 50% capacity.</p>

UK: Heatwave exposes 17th Century gardens, lost villages in drying reservoirs

<p>A Chinese anime fan claims she was held and interrogated by police when she posed for pictures in traditional Japanese attire in the eastern city of Suzhou, igniting a heated debate on China's social media about what some regard as excessive nationalism.</p>

<p>The young woman, who was dressed in a white kimono with red blossoms and green foliage, claimed she was waiting in line for a snack on Wednesday evening on Huaihai Street, a vibrant food strip known for its Japanese bars and restaurants, when she and her photographer were suddenly encircled by police.</p>

<p>The woman, known as "Is Shadow Not Self," posted details about the encounter on Weibo, China's Twitter-like site, on Sunday, where a linked hashtag was viewed more than 90 million times before being blocked on Monday.</p>

<p>According to her post, policemen were offended by her kimono, which she had combined with a long blond wig as a cosplay of a prominent character in the Japanese manga series "Summer Time Rendering."</p>

<p>Wearing a kimono in public has been increasingly problematic in China in recent years, as nationalism and anti-Japanese sentiment have grown. Chinese popular sentiment towards Japan has grown and waned as a result of Japan's ruthless invasion of China during World War II, and is often linked to China's domestic politics and the level of bilateral ties.</p>

<p>However, as Chinese nationalism becomes more militant and intolerant under Xi Jinping's leadership, lovers of Japanese culture, which was once popular among China's youth, have encountered increasing criticism and distrust.</p>

Dubai crown prince travels in London tube, goes unnoticed by fellow passengers

<p>The Chester Zoo in Cheshire welcomed a new guest, and it is great news for an extremely rare animal species. The zoo saw the birth of a Rothschild's giraffe — the sub-species of giraffe which is found mostly in Africa and are just 2500 in number at the moment. The zoo named the giraffe Stanley after Mount Stanley in Uganda — the area which is considered to be the natural habitat of giraffes.</p>

<p>"Something INCREDIBLY special happened inside our giraffe habitat... A rare BABY GIRAFFE has been born, and our cameras captured every moment. Stay tuned to our channels. Tomorrow we'll reveal the calf's name," Chester Zoo posted on social media along with the video of the giraffe’s birth.</p>

<p>The giraffe was born inside the zoo on Saturday and according to the authorities, the calf was around six feet tall. The baby giraffe was born to Orla, an old resident of the giraffe habitat.</p>

<p>With the number of Rothschild giraffes going down around the world, the zoo authorities were extremely happy after the 14-year-old Orla gave birth to&nbsp;Stanley.</p>

<p>"Mum-to-be Orla stood next to Dagmar, another experienced mum, for the delivery as she readied herself for the final push. Her calf then arrived in the world with quite the bump, causing the rest of the herd to jump to their feet,” Sarah Roffe, giraffe team manager at the zoo, told BBC.</p>

<p>“While tiny in comparison to mum Orla, her new arrival was born already towering above us at 6ft tall and weighing a hefty 72kg! Following the dramatic birth, it’s vitally important that the calf gets to its feet quickly and ventures over to mum for its first feed — it’s these precious early moments that help to cement that special bond between the two of them,” she added.</p>

Endangered baby giraffe born at Chester Zoo, gives conservationists hope

<p>ByteDance Ltd., the Chinese company that owns TikTok, has purchased Amcare Healthcare, one of the country's largest chains of private hospitals, for about $1.5 billion. One of the largest purchases has been made since Beijing's anti-monopoly drive on digital businesses began in late 2020 with this transaction.</p>

<p>According to a source with knowledge of the situation, ByteDance Ltd. now fully owns women's and children's hospitals in cities ranging from Beijing to Shenzhen, according to a story in Bloomberg. The publication also discovered corporate registries demonstrating that two ByteDance subsidiaries now hold Amcare outright.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Although this is the company's first venture into the healthcare sector, it has already invested in a variety of industries, including cleaning robots, coffee, and hotpot franchises.</p>

<p>It appears that ByteDance is attempting to disrupt the traditional healthcare sector with the acquisition of Amcare in order to compete with other significant tech firms.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This purchase continues a trend of digital giants like Apple and Amazon investing in the healthcare sector. Amazon said in late July that it had reached an agreement to buy One Medical, a primary care company with a tech focus, for $3.9 billion.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Amazon claimed in a statement that the healthcare industry was ready for change. Around the same time, Apple released a roughly 60-page report explaining its health-related features and collaborations with healthcare organisations, arguing that these services are crucial to the company's future.</p>

<p>ByteDance first entered the healthcare industry in 2020 when it purchased the Baikemy.com medical information platform. Later that year, it launched its own healthcare app, Xiaohe Health. It now expands its portfolio to include Amcare's seven hospitals, two integrated clinics, and five postpartum centres located throughout China.</p>

<p>Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and one of the most popular public figures, has acknowledged having a secret Instagram account. Ironically, Musk has 102.9 million Twitter followers while only having 54 followers on his personal Instagram account.

When the debate finally turned to social media, Musk acknowledged having an Instagram account that is hidden from his Twitter followers.</p>

<p>When it comes to luxury, this stunning superyacht will blow your mind away. Italian design studio Gabriele Teruzzi Yachts &amp; Design has unveiled a lavish vessel built in the image of Cartier's rare 128-carat diamond. As per New York Post, its price tag is $110 million.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Based on the concept <em>Stella Del Sud</em>, this new 110-metre yacht is all things nice. It features a helipad, a movie theatre and eight VIP guest cabins. Up to 18 guests can be accommodated across nine luxurious staterooms.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Superyacht Times reported that there's an actual waterfall that "emerges from the superstructure" and three swimming pools. These pools are connected in a way that they appear like an amazing waterfall. An open beach area is also there with the pools.&nbsp;</p>

<p>From the outside, the yacht looks like a diamond with a "spectacular side window glass design that connects all decks" which is basically positioned to reflect the light so that the yacht sparkles continuously - just like a diamond.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The exterior of this vessel exudes awesomeness, and the interior is nothing lesser. The inside of&nbsp;<em>Stella Del Sud&nbsp;</em>is a combination of modern and contemporary design.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The main saloon has panoramic windows. It displays "rain effect" lighting at night. According to the design team, Stella Del Stud split levels are "strategically designed" so that the passengers get an unparalleled sea view from the main saloon.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A 3,500-square-foot sun deck is also there with a lounge area, a hot tub and an <em>al fresco </em>dining space. That's not just it, an aquarium has been built into the ceiling over the bed of the owner's cabin. Isn't it dreamlike?&nbsp;</p>

<p>Founders of Repos Energy recently revealed how a phone call changed their fortune — the call was none other than famous Indian industrialist, Ratan Tata.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a long and detailed post on LinkedIn, the company's co-founder Aditi Bhosale Walunj shared the experience of interacting with Ratan Tata.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the post, Aditi mentioned the initial days when she and her husband, Chetan Walunj, had just started and were figuring out ways to grow their firm.&nbsp;</p>

<p>They agreed that they needed a mentor and the first name they thought of was Ratan Tata. Aditi wrote, "Without any doubt we both had one name that is Ratan Tata Sir."&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

'This is Ratan Tata. I got your letter. Can we meet?' Here's how a phone call changed Repos Energy's fate

<p>Cats are among the most popular pets. They necessitate the owners' care and attention throughout the year, but they have a particular day set out for them. The purpose of International Cat Day, which is celebrated on August 8, is to remind people of how the adorable animal helps to enhance the environment. Having cats as pets enhances human health in a variety of ways, including improved cognitive performance. After a hard day, returning to your cat and seeing its cute antics may help you relax.&nbsp;</p>

<p>International Cat Day was founded by the International Fund for Animal Welfare to honour cats and protect them from harm. Since 2020, International Cat Care, a British non-profit organization that has been working for cat welfare since 1958, has been in charge of International Cat Day.</p>

<p><strong>Interesting Facts about Cats:</strong></p>

<p>(1): Cats may bristle because of small erector muscles related to their hair follicles. Cats may intimidate foes by arching their backs and hissing as a result of this.</p>

<p>(2): Cats, unlike dogs and horses, walk or run by moving the front and back legs on one side first, followed by the front and back legs on the other. Only camels and giraffes move in this way.</p>

<p><img alt="cat1" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4bba7240-a7fe-4aeb-93d1-5b8570bb501f" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/happy-mothers-day-gdb2f497be_1920.jpg" /></p>

<p>(3): The cat's body is extremely flexible. This is feasible because its vertebrae are kept together by muscles rather than ligaments, like in humans. As a result, the cat's back might stretch or shrink, curve upward, or oscillate along the vertebral line.</p>

<p>(4): Cats are mostly nocturnal animals. The retina of the cat's eye is very sensitive to light due to a coating of guanine, causing the eye to shine at night under strong light.</p>
