WHOA! How'd he do that?
Cats Get Humans' Attention Through Certain Type Of "Meow."
A study was done that claimed that cats have learned the art of meowing. There is a certain type of meow that can attract humans to take the cat in. Even though cats do not have a specific language, they have learned to sound pleasant when meowing. Nicholas Nicastro, a graduate student who is working under a psychology professor, says that the cats that sound angry are seen to be too demanding and the ones that are pleasant to the ear are more likely to be picked by people that go to an animal shelter to adopt a cat.
Man Punches Parrot to Death
A German man has been fined $925 for punching and killing his parrot for screeching uncontrollably. "I'd had a row with my girlfriend and she left me. Charlie wouldn't stop screeching. So I punched him. I'm so sorry. He was a good friend," the defendant, 41, told a court. Police had been called to his home when neighbors mistook the parrot's screeching for human screams.
Man Gets Money For Toiletless Train
A German man received $270 compensation for the torture he endured for not being able to relieve himself for two hours. The Frankfurt court made the German Railways pay the man $270 for not providing the man an adequate toilet. The man walked for two hours throughout the packed train looking for a place to go to the bathroom. The toilets had all been locked because there was not water avaiable for flushing the toilets. "The plaintiff had to torture himself with his urgent need for two hours because he could not find a free toilet," said the court. The man finally got to use the one bathroom that was in working condition which was kept locked. The man got access by another passenger having to pressure the ticket inspector.
