Waiting 4 Wrath - Episode 232 - The One Where Shelley Helps Us Find A Dolphin's Down'Unda!

In This Week’s Show, episode 232, Shelley’s here but we don’t have a live audience because her music is just for us! Also, the second half will have music…

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Leucothea, Greek sea goddess of seagulls, hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying her patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week I learned 87% of cats believe in the prophet Mohammed but do not identify as religious.

Shea's Cuddle Corner

In honor or our studio guest who is a seagull, I decided to create an animal segment I call the Yeti’s Cuddle Corner! I found a few great animal stories this week and I thought it would be fun to get a bit wild!

In a new study it has been discovered that cats are dicks. Though I think any owner knew that. What science actually found out was that cats know the sound of their own names. Cats in the new study turned their heads and ears toward the sound of their names, but generally didn't bother to vocalize back or communicate using their tails. They also don’t bother coming or caring about your plight. From Inside Science, the findings came from a series of experiments using 16 to 34 cats in Japan. To get in the minds of their feline subjects, the researchers first made recordings of a human voice saying four common words with the same accent pattern and number of syllables as the cat's name, followed by the name itself. For example, a cat named Kari heard the words "hifu" (Japanese for skin) and "shuto" (Japanese for capital).

Most cats quickly became desensitized to the repeated words but would perk up and twitch their head when hearing their own names.

The researchers also tested what happened when the recording started with the names of other cats living in the same household. A few of the cats grew accustomed to the voice perked up again when they heard their name, indicating that they knew it was their own.
