However, the overlooked fact is that the house cat's life rarely mimics the diet of the true design of the feline. A truly wild feline eats a full animal, including hair, guts, and bones.

Did every voter get a chance to vote in the US elections? News coverage in the UK showed massive queues at polling stations and people couldn't always wait for a whole day... I didn't hear of anyone having to wait a 'whole day' to vote, personally. There were lines. People expected lines, I think. If you were IN line at any poll's closing time, you were still allowed to vote. The polls stayed open till the last voter voted, provided they were in the queue by the cut-off time. Another little thing that many people are maybe not aware of: ...

There was a black presidential candidate before. Who was he again? How did he do? Does no one else here remember Shirley Chisholm? Shirley was the first African Amercian woman elected to the U.S. Congress back in 1968. In 1972, she became the first African American AND the first woman to seek the Democratic party nomination for President. She ran a grass roots, underfunded campaign and still managed to receive 152 votes at the DNC that year.

I really liked McCain's concession speech. Not only because it meant that Obama won, but I think he acted honorably, and showed leadership. Any thoughts? I was impressed with his speech. He showed a lot a class that had slipped a little toward the end of his campaign. I have a great deal of respect for the words he spoke and the way he handled himself. The stern 'look' he gave his supporters when they started to boo seemed genuine. It reminded me of a father letting his kids know that he won't tolerate that kind of...

Can anyone defina a 'Poem'. I assumed that 'poetry' was as I was taught in school, ie; rhyming verse, but last night I watched a programme on B.B.C. 'A Poem for Harry', and discovered that nothing rhymed with anything else. I don't understand! Well, poetry is considered 'literary art'. It is based on the power that it has to evoke an emotional response in you. The majority of what is considered the world's best poetry doesn't rhyme. When you see a painting or drawing that affects you for your own, personal reasons, there is no need for explanation. You love it or you don't. Same with poetry. Often,...

It uses magnetic levitation and also uses the tops' spinning for stability.

Why do cats eat grass? It only makes the vomit. They don't seem to get the connection. Why does grass do this to cats? It doesn't do it to cows and horses. You've gotten good answers, but I'd like to point out that it doesn't always make them vomit. I grow a non-puke variety of cat grass for my green-loving feline and he never throws it up, at least not instantly. It acts as a form of fiber or roughage for them and helps them digest and pass hairballs, as well as regurgitate them.

Answer to:
Why do some people leave a little bit of beer at the bottom of their beer cans? For what reason? I honestly think that a lot of the 'leftover' beer in the bottom of cans is unintentional. Carbonation causes suds that cling to the inside.   You think you've drained your can, but when it sits for awhile, the suds turn to liquid and settle, making it seem like the person has left beer in the can, when they really haven't done so intentionally.

Are ex smokers the worst to give advice to smokers? I don't think so. At least they've been there and know what it's like and how addicting it is. Their ideas and suggestions for quitting, for example, have at least been tried and possibly found to be effective. People who have never smoked don't have the first clue what you're going through.

Answer to:
Why does burnt hair have such a distinctive odor? The smell is sulphurous. It is because the keratin in our hair contains large amounts of cysteine, a sulfur-containing amino acid. Hooves and nails also contain keratin, which explains why real tortoise shells smell like hair when lit on fire. http://www.slate.com/id/2162676?nav=tap3

Why would someone ask you to go somewhere/do something with them when you feel in your gut that they don't REALLY want you to go? My gut reaction would be that they feel obligated to ask you, or believe that it is the right thing to do. Also, consider that the person may not really like you, but feels like they owe you the opportunity to change their mind about you. I've had situations in which I didn't really care for someone, but because that person was close to someone that I *do* care for very much,...

What is your name, and is there a story behind how you got your name from your parents? If so please tell. They both loved Elizabeth Taylor and they thought 'Giant' was one of the greatest films ever made. Now, why they decided on Taylor as opposed to Rock, Hudson, James, or Dean is beyond me. Hey, at least they didn't name me 'Elizabeth'! ;)

I had this debate with my friends tonight over dinner. If you found something of value (money, jewelry) but it had the person's phone number with it as well, would you return it or go by the "finder keeper" rule? If it has a identity attached to it, it's akin to stealing if I keep it, by my way of looking at things. I'd feel terrible and wouldn't derive any pleasure from keeping it.

Would you think I was a snot for wanting to camp in my 34 foot camper with its own shower and bathroom rather roughing it in a cabin with no bathroom having to use public bath and showers? Not at all. To each his own. I'd say if you bought a 34 foot camper, then you must like to travel and enjoy the campground experience without the hassle of 'roughing it'. In fact, I think a camper is great way to see the land and makes for an affordable, extended vacation. More power to you! :)

When was the last time you downrated another AB user? (nb: and what was your reason for doing so) I never DR. If an answer is nonsense, spam, or blatantly offensive, I simply flag it and move on. I ran across an answer just a little while ago that I thought was nasty. It was offensive to ME, but acceptable by AB standards. So, I just walked on by and uprated the good answers so that one would sink to lowly bottom of the pile. :)

Although some things are planted early, generally we go by the 'Mother's Day' rule in this part of the country.

I really don't need an explanation all the time. I don't need to understand where you're coming in every situation.

He shouldn't have waited so long to cash the check, of course, and I think I would deduct the bounce fee from the money, honestly. You do admit that you 'owe' him the money, though, so you should pay him. If you pay him in cash, I'd also get a receipt.

Is there something that never fails to bring you down? Prejudice and intolerance or abuse of people or animals. Anytime I get into a conversation with someone who bashes any ethnicity or sexual preference and uses crude and stereotypical attitudes and/or terminology, it depresses me.

My dreams are often very vivid and I usually dream in color, which is said to be rare, but I don't know about that. It's not for me, anyway! I can't recall, though, ever 'reading' anything in a dream. I can't remember ever seeing a sign or note or anything in writing. Is that unusual, I wonder?

Could it be argued that questions deleted by an AB administrator are counter-productive to the whole concept and idea of 1) free speech, 2) the internet. I mean its not as bad as burning books, but it does seem a litte third reich-ish to me. Pls explain. If the question is abusive in a racist, sexist, or otherwise blatantly foolish and trollish way, or attacks a particular user, I believe it has no valid place here and deserves to be deleted. If it is simply poorly worded, but understandable, or if the question addresses a valid issue or even a stereotype, and is worded in such a way to provoke thoughtful debate, I think it should remain....

If they try to jump on counters, usually a loud 'HEY!' and a sharp clap of my hands...

Do you have to pay any taxes if you're unemployed?

If you had taxes deducted from your unemployment checks, then you will still have to file taxes, but you shouldn't owe any additional taxes.

Accepting any and all theories. Why would the woman that found Heath Ledger's body call Mary-Kate Olsen on the west coast before 911? I'm a little freaked out by that. Scooter, from what I'm reading about this, it looks like maybe the woman thought he was alive, but 'out of it' and wanted to avoid a scandal. I guess she figured calling Mary-Kate and getting private security in there would help to keep out the press. It looks like they think he 'was' already dead, but if not, she may have let him die. :( I know she supposedly told...

What are the 3 most important things in your life right now? And do they change based on circumstance, or personal desire? My family, my home, my job. It's a bummer that I don't have room on that list for my friends, since they are also very important to me. Health is another big one. As far as changing goes, I guess if I were to fall suddenly ill then health would replace job, but without my job everything else would suffer, so it's important that it goes on the list, I think.

It was badly hurt and had to be put down. I felt terrible, but I did everything I could do and I don't regret the steps I took to try to save it. It was the right thing to do.

I've always been attracted to guys and wanted to be with them, sexually + romantically. But a couple months ago I noticed that I notice girls a lot. Not sexually, but I really like to look at pictures of them. Now i'm just confused. What am i? bi? gay? If you're not romantically or sexually inclined toward them, then you're not bisexual. I don't think it's unusual to appreciate beauty, and women are beautiful to look at. It can be viewed in the same way as art.

Amex does prohibit "discrimination" against the Amex card, however, so if a merchant has...

I am fortunate, though, to be a natural mesomorph, so it is not extremely hard for me stay in shape.

The pope said today that laws granting equal rights to gay people are a threat to world peace. Is this anti-gay rhetoric any different at its root than that of Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist church? I can definitely see the comparison. Fred Phelps believes that the war and pestilence visited on mankind is God's revenge for the world's acceptance of gays, so the Pope's assertion that same sex marriage is a threat to world peace could easily be used, by some, as a way of blaming war on homosexuality. He also said the same thing about birth control. So, in that respect,...

Did you know that it is official now? mctyt is now, according to urbandictionary.com, the new acceptable abbreviation for merry christmas to you too? So MCTYT (while I am at it).

IS THIS PAGE RACIST? I was looking at Electronic Networking and all the google ads link to racist sites! http://electronicnetworking.blogspot.com/ Well, I certainly didn't find that to be the case. I strongly suspect you may be a spammer trying to get people to the site and clicking on the legit links. It worked! At least long enough for me to verify that your claim is incorrect. If you really are just spamming, this is a really pathetic way to generate traffic. I'd never have anything to do with the site for that...

Why do men act like nothing bothers them? I think it's because we're raised to believe we should be the 'stronger' sex. We should always be stalwart and dependable, able to deal with any crisis thrown our way. We are the ones that are expected to come through, provide and protect. In reality, of course, those of us who are lucky enough to have a strong, independent, and very capable partner don't have to...

US hotel heiress Paris Hilton's potential inheritance dramatically diminished after her grandfather Barron Hilton announced plans to donate 97 per cent of his $US2.3 billion ($A2.66 billion) fortune to charity. Your reaction? Well, since her father is still worth close to half a billion, and there's still nearly 70 million left from Grampa's estate, I doubt little Paris is going to go hungry. I think it's great, though, that Barron is giving his vast fortune to charity.

Just curious; do you love or hate chicken livers? Personally, I really like them. Lee's Famous Recipe makes great breaded and fried chicken livers and my wife sometimes makes Rumaki, which I also really like. I don't eat them often, though, because they're so high in cholesterol like all 'organ meat'. But, yeah, I can get down on some chicken livers! :)

There are now movie theaters that have adult sections, no one under 21 allowed, with better food and alcohol. Would you be interested in going to those, with no kids kicking your seats or crying babies, being able to drink a beer, maybe? It would definitely appeal to me. One big reason that my wife and I rarely go to the movies is because we think they're really not 'adult friendly'. I could see a bunch of drunks becoming a problem, also, though. Maybe we'll stick to the 'theatre'. :)

I went to a Korean restaurant about two weeks ago where I had Korean BBQ. A couple days later, I broke out into a rash on my stomach and upper legs. I can't get to my family doctor so I was wondering if there were any self-help remedies for now? A couple of days later? I seriously doubt you can blame the Korean BBQ for that. Most allergic reactions will manifest themselves MUCH more quickly than that. Try some benadryl capsules to help with the pain/itching and give the 'Koreans' a break.

My friend keeps kissing me on my cheeks & lips and it annoys me so much. How do I tell him without makin him upset that it bothers me? Try to make if obvious through your body language. When he moves in to kiss you on the lips, turn your head and either hold him at arms length and give him a "Hollywood kiss", where you kiss 'air' next to his cheek without actually touching him or just move in for a hug. He should eventually take the hint.
