@LupaPrinceRomulus: True but thats mimicking an action, not having a reference point of size. Even if a cat did learn EXACTLY what a human baby was, I doubt they'd be able to make the connection they're the same size.

Forums General Chit-Chat More friends!
@howonk: Bottom line for my question is, if they can learn how to watch TV from being taught by others how to do this, couldn't others teach them how to know what are the sizes of human babies, let alone correlate their own sizes to that of said babies?

@LupaPrinceRomulus: They can, but that won't do much for them I think in terms of the tv watching. And thats more of a command if it's taught, the cat would have to naturally do it on its own to really mean the cat can learn to "watch tv" like the rest of us can. Teaching a cat to learn the size of something would be difficult, and i doubt the cat would even TRY to make the correlation of them being the same size as the baby. Even if they do, they won't care and probably just forget that information very quickly. You have to remember, cats are very different from us, especially in the way they think and behave.

@howonk: Some may think like or Act like humans, but socially speaking, Cats are not 100% us regardless in those regards.
So of course they'd think very differently from humans on that front.
Some cats also tend to sleep earlier than we do, too, and each human is different in terms of sleeping hours, habits and whatnot as well.

@LupaPrinceRomulus: According to catcareofvinings.com, cats "-understand that their human caretakers are larger than they are, they continue to behave around us in the same manner as if they were around other cats. " So I guess they can understand some things are bigger, but I'm not sure about same size. What I mean is like, they can see the size difference and recognize that something is bigger or smaller, but i don't think they would go "oh so i am now the size of a human baby." and start measuring other cats in human baby scale.
That is true, but that's not exactly what I meant by how they think and behave. The way their brink works is very different than ours. If I'm correct, cats sleep over half of their day (so around 10~ ish hours i guess? maybe 13+ idk) and their sleeping patterns can vary just like humans, but I didn't mean the difference in that.

@howonk: Well, that's more like it as something to picture.
It feels like that's the case.
Some cats tend to think they're rulers too.

@LupaPrinceRomulus: Yes, because they rule a territory in our house/ where ever they live. Plus, cats that just knock stuff are just usually playing.

@howonk: They can reign over things like Christmas trees and the like if you let them, too.
@Howonk: I will tell the babies and Momma that you said hello. It's still too early to tell but we shall see how many she has. If she only has one I am keeping it Giggles.
