by Today, Ghibli’s “The Cat Returns” will be broadcast on the NTV series from 9 pm to 10:54 pm.
“Summer is Ghibli for three consecutive weeks” Last week was “Princess Mononoke.” Today is the adventure fantasy “The Cat Returns” planned by Hayao Miyazaki (“The Wind Rises” next week).
Haru, a high school girl who lives with moyamoya feelings, is taken to the land of cats and takes a big adventure.
Since it’s an anime, is it related to ethology? You might think, but since the world of cats is depicted here, there is also the etiology of cats. The article has some spoilers. If you want to watch this movie in a pure white state, please read on later. Let’s take a closer look at the etiology of cats in “Cat’s Giving Back.”
Why do cats give presents to their owners?
Hull helps a cat about to be run over by a car on his way to school. In return, the cat delivers a present to Hull. Now let’s look at “Why do cats deliver gifts to their owners?”
If you keep it in a house with a garden, many cats deliver small birds and cicadas to their owners. No matter how much my cat gave me, the owner is unhappy with the small animals and cicadas that are out of breath, and I wonder what to do.
According to “Cat Watching” by Desmond Morris, famous for ethology, the owner is considered an incompetent hunter by cats. In this case, the owner thinks the kitten cannot take the prey, so bring the prey home as a gift.
Parent cats teach because they need to catch mice and birds when the kitten is alone.
What kind of cat delivers the prey to its owner the most?
Female cats that have undergone contraceptive surgery are the ones who provide the most gifts to their owners.
The reason is that female contraceptive cats do not teach kittens how to prey, so they assume that the owner is a kitten and perform this action.
In nature, mother cats take the time to prey on kittens rather than suddenly feeding them live small animals.
At first, the mother cat does not eat the prey and brings it to the kitten. There, the mother cat shows how to eat the game in front of the kitten. The next step is to throw dead prey alive, move it, play with the kitten, and teach it how to use its teeth and claws for its target. Finally, bring the live prey in front of the kitten so that it can grab and eat it.
What should the owner do if he gets prey from a cat?
In “The Cat Returns,” Haru receives a present from a cat and is confused. No matter how much the owner is from his beloved cat, he is not happy if he gets a mouse or a cicada and they are struggling to live, but on the contrary, he gets rid of his ass.
From the cat’s point of view, the owner was pleased. If you get angry with a cat at that time, it won’t be easy to understand people.
Therefore, let’s praise the cat acting as a mother, and gently stroke the cat to receive the prey. Please deal with the game later.
What is a cat’s territory?
In “The Cat Returns,” Hull asks Muta, a large white cat in Jujigai, to tell her about the cat’s office. You’ll reach the cat’s office by walking along walls and alleys, not on the roads that people take.
Hull and Muta, the cat, do not meet a single cat on their way to the cat’s office.
According to Paul Reihausen, Cat Behavior, cats’ territory is like a railroad, so they don’t meet each other.
In other words, there are traffic restrictions between cats, and it seems that they are visually enforced. As a cat walks down the street (25 to 100 meters away), he walks down the road, chasing the cat with his eyes, and waits patiently until it disappears from view.
I try not to hit the two animals as much as possible.
However, when the two cats hit each other at the intersection, the cat that lost the previous struggle escapes without hesitation.
A cat’s territory is more competitive when it is closer to the center of its territory, but it is weaker when it is farther from the center.
Muta is a big cat, so I guess he’s territorial from Jujigai to the cat’s office.
Is Baron an Abyssinian?
What kind of cat is Abyssinian?
It is said to be one of the oldest breeds of domestic cats.
It depicts a cat that closely resembles ancient Egyptian papyrus. It is believed that the wife of the army captain returned from what is now Ethiopia that brought Abyssinian back to England for the first time.
As you can see in the doctor’s office, it’s a graceful cat with a beautiful streamline. I am inquisitive, and I will go up to a high place and explore if I can reach it. It is a wild cat. And each hair has a shade and shines.
Some children are so active that they have trouble during the examination, but recent Abyssinians have become much quieter than their predecessors.
There is a need to refrain from going out due to the corona.
This “Cat’s Giving Back” is a relief for those who have difficulty living because the time is different from that of the human world.
