You bring in groceries after a particularly long time of packing in the store, and your cat looks at and inspects everything that comes into the house. Is your cat looking for treats or checking to see if there is anything there that might threaten its territory? What makes cats so curious?
Cats are curious because they are biologically designed to be curious and inspect everything. They want to keep threatening things out of their territory and protect you and themselves. A cat's curiosity can sometimes get her into trouble, so you need to maintain strict boundaries to keep your cat safe.
If cats weren't so curious, they would never survive in the wild. To learn more about normal cat behavior, keep reading.
Why is it said that curiosity killed the cat?
This phrase has its origins in England in the 16th century, when the original phrase was first heard, it was “care killed the cat,” which is a literal translation into Spanish of “worry killed the cat,” but it was then changed to “carry kills the cat.” , since with the etymological advancement of the language it made the word care be changed to curiosity.
What we wanted to convey with this phrase is that the worry, worry and stress that these generate can cause physical or mental problems that will be reflected in the long term
Why were cats chosen as an example? because they stand out for their stealth and caution, always thinking about whether to take a step
However, using the word "curiosity" was even more successful because it is the kind of curiosity that can drive a pussy to such an extent that she puts his life at risk without even realizing it. They embark on an adventure without thinking about anything other than satisfying their curiosity, but this creates a state of contentment that is good for their mental health. Irony...
A new version
It is for this reason that, during the 20th century, a new version of the famous phrase appeared, namely: “curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.” What lesson did I want to teach people? Well, we shouldn't settle, we should take risks even if there are dangers because worrying too much about not doing so will only cause problems in the long run.
You may never have imagined that the phrase would teach us such important life lessons, but as it is well said, nature is wise. And those who use it to create such short sentences that contain so much depth also demonstrate some of this wisdom.
In fact, research conducted around this phrase has shown that people who care less about “what would happen if…” were happier, had better interpersonal experiences, and better social relationships.
However, those who did not embark on adventures found great pleasure in food, drink or sex, but were isolated from the world. What lesson will you learn from this? This is just a rhetorical question.
Warm place to relax
All cats love warmth. That is why they go to sleep in places illuminated by the sun, or on radiators and heaters. The keyboard is also warm because the laptop's processor heats it up. A person is unlikely to warm up from it, but a cat will clearly be interested in lying down on the keys and sleeping on them. The hotter your laptop gets, the more attractive it will be to your pet. Therefore, when leaving a gadget on the table, it is best to close its lid. The cat will still go to bed, but at least he won’t type meaningless text on the keyboard. And he will definitely be more comfortable on the lid.

Beliefs and superstitions if a furry pet died in an apartment
- Feeling death, he left home - he doesn’t want to upset his owners and loves them. This is how cats show their affection. If the pet wanted to stay at home during the last hours, it is likely that he did not experience warm feelings for his owners.
- The cat died - wait for trials. A sign that has been believed for hundreds of years. It means that with the death of a pet, difficult trials will come to the owner, associated not only with the death of a beloved pet. Perhaps a serious illness will overtake you.
- With the death of a cat, all negativity goes away. This sign, unlike the previous one, suggests that the pet dies at home and thereby saves its owners, taking with it all the hardships. In Ancient Egypt, the cat was always a sacred animal. It was believed that after death she becomes a guardian angel for her owners.
- The death of a pet means money. There is also such a slightly cynical sign. Seeing an animal die is immediate success and financial well-being. If the cat was white, they say it was for love.
Why and why can they die?
Animals die for various reasons. The cat may die of old age, then there is no need to look for any signs of fate here. There is no talk of any negativity either. If the animal was at the threshold, the room or apartment was locked and the pet could not get out. When cats anticipate their demise, they try to find themselves outside the house.
If the cause of death is deliberate euthanasia, then the owners, as punishment, will face trouble in all areas of life.
But it also happens that an animal dies suddenly, without any illness. Such a death can have several meanings.
What does it mean?
- If a family member is to blame for the death of a pet, then you need to prepare for theft. It is possible that not strangers, but close people, will be to blame for this. The investigation will lead nowhere.
- The death of a cat from household appliances means trouble at work. Threatened with dismissal or reprimands, reports with subsequent explanatory notes.
- When the cause of death is an accidental fall from a high floor, then you should expect serious quarrels with your spouse, which can lead to divorce.
- If a beloved pet has been poisoned, then it is better for the owners not to make new friends and refrain from making any changes in life. Anything new will only bring problems.
- Responsibility for the death of the pet lies with the other animal with whom there was a fight - you should prepare for scandals with friends. If a compromise is not found, the relationship may end there.
- A pet may die under strange circumstances. For example, falling asleep and not waking up. Such a departure from life indicates the need to cleanse your home of negative energy.
Trying to get your owner's attention
Most likely, your pet simply misses your affection. The cat can watch you from the side for a long time, and she will definitely notice that you are paying much more attention to the laptop than to her. Of course, she will immediately try to distract you, because these are very jealous animals. Or your pet just wants to be with you. Therefore, he will definitely walk back and forth along the keyboard, trying to attract the owner’s attention. By lying down on a warm keyboard, a cat can tell its owner that it lacks warmth and care. Take a break from work or social media for a couple of minutes and pet an animal. You can also play with him for a few minutes or sit him on your lap if he doesn't bother you. There the pet can sleep for a long time. Having made up for the lack of attention, the cat will go home and will no longer distract you. Don't forget to fill your cat's bowl with fresh food. Perhaps it is because of hunger that she is trying to attract your attention.
But sometimes especially stubborn pets do not give up their attempts even after the attention given to them. How then to satisfy their curiosity and distract them from the laptop? You can, for example, place a small pillow and a box next to the computer so that the cat can rest close to the owner. You don't have to buy an expensive device. Sometimes a simple sheet of paper on the table is enough for pets. If your cat prefers to sit on the keyboard, you can place a fresh orange peel next to it. The strong smell will scare away your pet. But it's best to simply close the laptop lid before leaving. Some not very well-mannered cats can not only lie on the keyboard, but also mark it. And this can lead to equipment failure.

What to do?
If the owner notices that the animal is behaving unusually: it wants to leave the house, meows loudly - it is better not to hold it and let it go. The cat either wants to die outside the home, or to throw off the negativity and return filled with new strength.
If a dead animal is discovered suddenly, for example after coming home from work, then the pet needs to be buried. It is better to wrap it in cloth and put it in a box.
A new cat should not be adopted until three months old.
Death can come to pets from old age. Then there is no need to carry out any rituals or actions to cleanse the house. With a sudden death, it can be assumed that the entire family has been exposed to negative energy. It might be worth going to church.
Seize the moment
Don't slip away, moment, you are wonderful!
In fact: Seize today, and trust tomorrow as little as possible.
A shortened version of the Latin phrase is often translated into English as “seize the day” and is used to justify spontaneous behavior and impulsive actions as a way to “get everything out of life today” without thinking about what will happen tomorrow. However, this is not a completely correct interpretation of the expression.
The phrase that we think we know and understand so well is actually longer and sounds like “Seize today, and trust tomorrow as little as possible.” The full version of the proverb does not call us to ignore the future, but, on the contrary, advises us to do as much as possible today specifically for the future, to take care of tomorrow today.
The phrase first appeared in the book “Odes” by the Roman poet Horace. Horace often used agricultural metaphors to persuade his fellow citizens to value the present more and not put things off until tomorrow. The poet was also a follower of Epicurus, whose philosophy was based on the idea that there is nothing more important in life than pleasure. This is seen as one of the reasons why later confusion arose with the original meaning of the saying.
Lord Byron quoted Horace in his poem in 1817, and the phrase was made world famous in the 1989 film Dead Poets Society starring Robin Williams.
Today, the original meaning of the phrase has long been forgotten, and the short, sonorous “carpe diem” encourages people to grab opportunities and live life to the fullest, without paying attention to the future.
Chapter 1.
Marie's POV:
After packing the last box of junk, Marinette looked around the room to make sure she had removed all of Adrien's posters. Noticing his charming smile on the computer monitor, she hurried to change the screensaver, placing beautiful puppies, Marinette went downstairs. “Dad, I’m finished, you can take the boxes.” Quickly taking Tikki’s purse, the girl hurried to her friends. Walking towards Luka’s house, the girl thought about the future. Back to school in three days. For Ladybug, the summer passed rather quietly, no attacks from Hawkmoth and no meetings with Cat Noir. On the one hand, you might think that Paris had finally found peace, but on the other, the girl missed missions and adrenaline. Over the summer, Marinette became even closer to Luka and Nino. Adrian spent all his holidays with his father abroad. A lot has happened this summer, I don’t want to stop there, but to continue living. I didn’t even notice how I got to Luke. Knocking on his door, I felt neither embarrassment, nor excitement, nothing. He is a very good friend, but on his part I feel little more than friendship. I pretend to be a fool and pretend that I don’t understand his hints and try to make it clear that he is just a friend. -MARINETTE, hello sun, come in! We’ve been waiting for you, - Alya opened the door for me, which means Nino is here too, - you won’t believe who returned from vacation!!! Turning my head to the side I saw him. I want us to just communicate, but my feelings of dependence are returning. Adrian. I swore to myself that he was just a friend to me. It's time to move on because I saw that I had no future with him. When he saw me, he was dumbfounded, but quickly pulled himself together and headed towards me. In one hand he held a glass with unknown contents, and with the other he straightened his hair. -Marinette, hi. Over the summer you have become even more beautiful - excuse me, what? Did I just hear it or did he really say that I was beautiful? I feel my cheeks flush, “tell me, did you miss me?” and after these words he reached out to hug me. I didn’t miss the moment, quickly leaned against him and grabbed his courageous back. Over the summer he pumped up and matured. There was some light stubble and the hair was a darker shade, but he was still beautiful. I smell alcohol, which means he has whiskey or something else in the glass. “Hello, of course I missed you!” I continued, pulling away from him. “With these guys,” I waved my head at my friends, “it’s just not easy to get drunk.” -Wow, is someone already drinking? You need a guy to monitor your alcohol consumption - excuse me, what? What are you talking about? So what should I answer him? “Relax, it’s just a joke,” he said and took a sip from the glass, “Will you?” I nodded my head in agreement and was about to go to the kitchen for a glass, when he handed me his. “Drink, if not.” you are disdainful. - I’m disgusted??? - I dreamed of kissing you from morning to night for two years, this is a real exchange of saliva, and now you’re talking about disgust - of course not! Taking his glass, I drank a little. Looking at him, I definitely decided to get drunk today. In the end, I returned the empty glass to him. “Well, you’re an alcoholic!” he said with a grin, “should I bring more?” “Have you decided to get me drunk?” He shook his head from side to side with a stupid smile and went into the kitchen. Alya came at me asking why I stopped stuttering, I tried to explain to her that now he was just a friend, but my success was in vain. Sesaire rolled her eyes and moved away from me. My eyes covered someone's hands. Luke. This is not the first time he has done this. I didn’t touch his fingers, but simply took his wrists and removed his hands from my eyes, turned around: “Hello, I thought you wouldn’t come.” We hugged as a sign of meeting. “Yeah, sorry for being late, I had some work to do.” I scratched the back of my head guiltily. - I wonder what’s going on? “It doesn’t matter,” I smiled sweetly at him and headed to the kitchen. At the entrance I met a blond man. “Sorry it took so long, here you go,” he handed me the glass and left. More precisely, no. I simply nodded my head in gratitude and left. The mood is lousy. _______When I was standing on the street and drinking whiskey, I heard an explosion. Hawkmoth. With a smile on my face, I rushed to save Paris. _______ “It worked,” the Cat and I said out loud and bumped fists. -How did my Lady spend the summer? -The cat and I were sitting on the Ephel Tower. “I was hanging out with friends, and you?” The cat smiled sadly and said. -Nope, I was with my parent all summer. We were leaving. I prayed every day that Hawk Moth wouldn’t attack, because I’m far away and you’re here alone. “I’m glad that everything is fine with you,” I was pleased by his words. She smiled sweetly, wanted to say that I missed you, but I urgently need to go home, because I’m transforming. The cat noticed this and simply bowed and left. What a cutie, just like Agreste. And here we go, chapter 1. The next one after 5 stars) If there are errors, write to me about it. I love you kittens
