Video goes viral for showing how to turn “off” your cat

 

HAVING trouble keeping your cat in line? Apparently someone on the Internet has found a secret button on the body of the feline, and pressing it “shuts them down.”

There were no instructions, merely a brief yet viral video by Posts Of Cats, showing a kitten becoming immobile when a hair clip was attached to the nape of its neck.

After it was removed, the kitten immediately regained its senses, as though the hair clip was the stuff of magic. The comment section on the post was equally an interesting place. 

“What’s the human version of this?” said 𝕬𝖑𝖊𝖝. We can only imagine what he plans to do with such a technique should it work on humans.

Netizen Robert further wondered if it works on nine year old cats, in which he has his doubts.

MAGA Firearms & Tech asked if this works with dogs, to which a cheeky netizen advised to try it out on an American Pitbull to see what happens.

Perhaps the most relevant comment came from Phyllis who stated that it was cruel to treat one’s cat in such a manner.

Several netizens pointed out that it was an instinctual response which adds no stress to the feline.

To better understand the mystery of the “off” button, a website by the name of catster said that mother cats gently bite the skin on the neck of their kittens to lift them.

The kittens almost always react the same way where they go completely limp. There’s even a scientific name for this inert, lifeless state: the flexor reflex. However, this nerve-triggered response disappears after the first few weeks of a kitten’s life.

On the other hand, an adult cat that becomes still when picked up by the scruff is showing a submissive response, claims the website.

This state is called learned helplessness, which basically means the cat doesn’t try to move because “they don’t believe their actions matter.” 

In other words, learned helplessness could be compared to a cat that “freezes” when faced with a stressful, inescapable situation. Their muscles become rigid and they go completely limp.

They may seem calm and silent, but this “false” relaxed posture hides real distress and discomfort. —Focus Malaysia

Netizen takes the limelight for spreading the blissful joy of marriage

 

WITH the rising divorce rate across the world, many people have come to question the age-old institution that is marriage.

Therefore it comes as a surprise when a fellow netizen made a heartfelt post on X about the virtues of tying the knot.

Unsurprisingly, the post has gone viral besides turning into a forum-of-sorts for the singles and couples out there.

According to Inche Faris Designer, the joy of marriage is not something that can be described in words, that those singles out there will not understand.

Echoing his words were Ib. who said, “When the wife isn’t in the house, I feel like I have no idea what to do.”

Another netizen, however, cautioned against telling others about the happiness of one’s marriage as people will get jealous or bitter.  

“I just wanted to express my gratitude that after marriage, my thoughts are clearer,” he said. Adding to this was Herizal who said that after marriage, his purpose in life became clearer.

“Life is about serving my family. Every night when I see them sleep peacefully and have eaten well, it is akin to a win for me,” he said.

iAm ijey added that his tiredness vanished when he finds his children calling his name at the front door.

Netizen manusia, however, was sceptical. He claimed that all of his friends complained about their wives, making him wonder if it was a stressful endeavour, handling the woman 24/7.

“I feel like getting married, but I am still young,” said Una Shiqien who was prompted by the discussion, adding that she was fearful of all the commitment.

Ronnie further advised that a blissful marriage may be true if the person is to find the right one. “If you married the wrong one, “hell” is the word,” he said among several other things.

Finally, there was Nash_90 the fence sitter who believed that marriage was a matter of choice. 

“By all means get married. But if people do not want to get married, do not force them and do not ask them. Slowly the singles will get fed up. I never stop people who want to get married, so please don’t stop people who don’t want to get married. Thanks,” he said. —Focus Malayia

Amanah now say Terrirudin be fully recused from hearing cases related to Najib’s royal addendum

 

AMANAH secretary-general Faiz Fadzil has called for former attorney-general Ahmad Terrirudin Mohd Salleh to be fully recused from hearing cases related to Najib Abdul Razak’s royal addendum, rather than just being temporarily benched.

His statement follows suggestions from lawyers Haniff Khatri Abdulla and Hasnal Rezua Merican, who argued that Terrirudin’s involvement had previously misled both the Kuala Lumpur High Court and Parliament.

“It is unreasonable for him (Terrirudin) to influence the decision of the addendum case because the judiciary today is seen as an independent body.

“Therefore, any decision regarding the addendum case must be heard and decided fairly and without influence,” Faiz said.

They believe his mistakes affected legal proceedings and public understanding of the addendum issue. Faiz emphasised the need for judicial independence and fair decision-making. —Focus Malaysia

KUCHING, Feb 16 — Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg today dismissed speculations of a state Cabinet reshuffle, affirming that the current administration will remain unchanged.

Speaking to reporters after closing the Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Convention at Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) today, Abang Johari, who is also PBB chairman, clarified that there were no plans to reorganise his Cabinet.

“There is no reshuffle, nothing to do with reshuffling. It will go on as it is,” he said when asked whether state Tourism, Creative Industry, and Performing Arts Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah would retain his two portfolios following the latter’s defeat in the PBB elections today.

Abang Johari also addressed the party’s stance on internal unity, stating that those who lost in the party elections would still play a role within PBB.

“All are united in PBB’s struggle, meaning not everyone wins, not everyone loses. Even those who lost in today’s contest remain part of the team,” he said.

On amendments to the PBB constitution, he explained that changes were limited to terminology and the establishment of a new Presidential Council, known as Majlis Yang di-Pertua, which would include the party’s president, deputy presidents, and senior vice president.

When asked about Law and Institutional Reform Minister Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said’s recent statement regarding Petronas’ operations in Sarawak, Abang Johari remarked that her interpretation might not have been entirely accurate.

“I believe it may not be entirely precise. That is why I will continue discussions with the Prime Minister (Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim),” he said. — The Borneo Post
