The Ace of Spades Pet Thread [scampydog]
Good afternoon and welcome to the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. Short notice fill in for our talented friend and Pet Thread caretaker, K.T.
Wishing you all a relaxing or productive weekend - whichever suits you best.
Please check your politics at the door. Don't worry - they'll still be there when the thread is over.

How do cats produce their purring sound? Came across this six months ago. Exchanged a few emails with AoS commenter publius about this subject. What say you cat experts?
Some scientists have long thought that cat purrs are the result of contracting and relaxing muscles in the vocal folds of the larynx. But the new research reveals this may not be the case, and instead suggests cats have special "pads" that help them produce their ultra-low-frequency purrs.

Cockatoo dances to songs from Wicked. I don't know anything about that show, but bird dancing is always amusing.
Even though the movie came out rather recently, Pearl is no stranger to 'Wicked,' Jenkins says. In the "What Is This Feeling?" video's caption, Jenkins writes "Pearl LOVES to sing and dance! I had no idea how happy her love for Wicked would make people!

That winds up the Pet Thread. Please send your prayers and well wishes to K.T. for a full and speedy recovery. We hope to see her back soon.
