The Ridiculously Complicated World of Cats

[@DanGamingFan2406]

You're right, Chad. The dress actually is black and blue, it's confirmed that a white and gold version didn't exist. He points it out in the video. Also, "This video was brought to you by pure spite." is the best sponsor plug ever.

The dress was black and blue, but the conditions of the photograph caused many to perceive it as white and gold, creating debate. Within a week, more than ten million tweets had mentioned the dress. The retailer of the dress, Roman Originals, reported a surge in sales and produced a one-off version in white and gold sold for charity.

[@MaddTheSane]

Most likely lighting messing with perception. So your brain over-corrects and sees white and gold.

[@ultrawinggaming9764]

Entirely because of a mix of lighting and a shitty camera.

we dont care what he states the PHOTO showing us gold and grey its not even white

[@williamhardee8863]

Cat’s tend to bond and show affection with a small recognizable group of people and a lot of cats bond strongly with only one person, so people who don’t own cats assume cats aren’t loving because they only ever see other people’s cats who they don’t have that relationship with. Then once they get a cat that bonds with them they start loving cats.

@@williamhardee8863 Well a 1998 study from the UK disagrees with you. Corrobarated by modern investigations on Egyptian mummies. Which basically means most people who have had to clean cat poo since then (long before modern sanitation methods) are very likely to have passed the parasite around for generatins. Which is why roughly an eighth of the world population is currently infected. In fairness until Cat hoarders are medically studied post-mortem we won't know the full extent of the parasites ability to "control" an animal the size of a human, but ignoring the current and emerging science behind the subject is rather naive and who knows your reaction to such evidence could in the futute show that people are more far gone in this "control" than first thought.

[@impresarioe6824]

The interesting thing is…if you were to ask someone in the ancient world “What color is the sky?”, they wouldn’t have said blue. In many ancient languages, there wasn’t even a word for blue. A lot of times it could mean green. For instance, if you go to Japan and see there green traffic lights, they look blue. In Old Japanese, the word ‘ao’ meant both blue and green.

[@BlueRoseWolfie]

I am actually one of those that the infamous dress argument works to mess with me because I flip back and forth. I at one point see black and blue, then in another point I see white and gold. And it will even be in the same video, like this reaction I saw both color sets of the dress as you guys argued. It's fascinating because in the end reality for us is just how light reflects off an object and the cones in our eyes perceive the info of light. We cannot confirm if the info our brains receive is exactly correct, it is more what the majority agree something is, but what says we might be seeing something slightly different like a shade off, but not enough to register color blindness of any sort? Love how this started such a debate at the start lol.

[@manyharmons4308]

Yes, me too! I looked up, and it went from clearly black and blue to suddenly white and gold. Now I rewound the video, and it is still white and gold!

[@BlueRoseWolfie]

@manyharmons4308 lol welcome to the weirdness. I don't know if we are categorized by anything, but I don't think we are colorblind in any level.

There is a grand total of 41 confirmed cat species. All cats belong to the family Felidae which is then split into Pantherinae which includes the genus Panthera made up of Lions, Tigers, Jaguars and Leopards and the Genus Neofelis which is the Clouded Leopard. The larger group is Felinae which includes several genera; Acinonyx - Cheetah Otocolobus - Pallas Cat Puma - Cougar Herpailurus - Jaguarundi Leopardus - Margay, Ocelot, Geoffroy's Cat, Pampas Cat and Andean Mountain Cat Lynx - Bobcats and 3 other Lynx Caracal - Caracal and African Gold Cat Pardofelis - Marbled Cat Felis - Domestic Cats, Wild Cats, Sand Cats, and Black Footed Cat Prionailurus - Leopard Cats and Fishing Cat Catopuma - Asian Gold Cat and Bay Cat Leptailurus - Serval

Ello, im a scientist and about the dress colors thing. We all have color receptors and they are all diffrent for diffrent people.

I originally saw it as gold and white before being able to see it blue and black a few years later...only for Nikki to say what part she saw gold...and then that's when my brain started making the colors lighter to the point where I can see a bit of white and blue but also gold and black... it's confusing 😭🤣

[@MajorShepard]

God I was not expecting the discourse about the dress to come up again during a cat video lol. That whole debate got so unnecessarily heated when it first started, people got real angry at each other over a freaking dress lol. I'm in the camp of seeing at White and gold HOWEVER I can also see that it has a blue tinge to it. When I first saw it I knew something was off as while I saw white and gold something in my mind was telling me it wasn't. Lo and behold it was proven to be blue and black, there was even a video showing the dress in the picture in different lighting and it was blue and black. Tbh it looks better as white and gold xD Also about cheetahs I do recall that while they are the fastest cat out there their endurance is nowhere near as much as humans, even a lion can beat a cheetah in endurance.

[@patrickogwala6054]

Cheetahs have maintained their top speed for up to 500 yards. Lions can barely manage 100 yards.

[@Necron00b]

I suppose the problem with the dress is, it messes with peoples perception of reality. Which makes people feel dumb if they choose the "incorrect" choice. If you lived for 60 years and thought the sky was Red and then one day every person told you, you were wrong and it's blue and always has been, you'd probably feel some kind of way about it. haha

[@Amradye]

Showed the dress to everyone in my house and all three of us said it was an ugly white and gold dress 🤣

[@mr.unknown4702]

I've been pretty much in the white and gold camp, but I would see how someone would accept the blue and black - I would be more inclined to factor in that it could be the lighting and how it's shaded in the shot, the quality of the camera and whatever else that might be reflecting around it. The dark area would still strike me as being possibly gold, but under under the conditions mentioned, which made it seem too muddy to be black, so to me it felt fitting to reject the blue and black option; that whatever it is, that certainly isn't black - that would come to be the primary thing ruling that out. So then with that I'd let my brain sorta colour correct for me, but I could always let myself see the blue hue but I'd just stand by it being an illusion. And so apparently it came out that it was blue and black - I basically accept it, but I think reasoning for white and gold has merit; like some points for the working even though the answer was wrong. So I guess something about my thinking (at least dealing with that) would be more towards being less willing to trust something presented to at me just face value and preferring to work it out with the idea of potential surrounding factors... but still willing enough to hear out the other argument - since I would make out the blu hue, but white was more compelling in the end. 9:34

When you are choosing a kitten, decide what you want from a cat. If you want a mouser, take a toy mouse with you and throw it in among the kittens, whichever one pounces on it and scratchea at it, is a hunter, your mouser. If you want a cuddly love muffin, pick the kittens up one at a time and hold it like a baby. If it accepts this and purrs, you have your lovable cat. If it struggles and wants down, that kitten will be aloof and want attention on its own terms. Most importantly is were you get your cat from. If from a house with small kids, chances are the kittens will all be aloof by being manhandled by the small kids. They will always see small kids as a danger, even in to their adulthood. This, being the main reason you should choose pets as a family. And if you are planning to have children and want a cat before hand, remember what to look for when you get your cat

To this day, I still see white and gold when my entire household saw blue and black. They thought I was joking because everyone else saw blue and black, but I couldn't see it no matter how hard I tried. My guess is that it has to do with lighting and how our bodies, as individuals, perceive those lights. For example, my mom and I would see a green-yellow color and she might call it yellow while I'll see it as green. An orange-red color could be more red to me while it could be more orange to her. Lighting complicates that because of how white versus black works and the intensity of gold and blue. All just theories though.
