Wilma is ready to rock the record books once again, making it a double record maker. She makes the 2005 Hurricane Season the largest on record. And as she hits "CAT Five" Hurricane Status, Wilma joins her sisters a reminder that she will not be forgotten. Will Hurricane Wilma dip under the 900 mb low pressure record of one of the best well-organized Hurricanes? She will hit the much dreaded category five status like Mega Hurricane Katrina and Super Hurricane Rita and she could well be one of the most beautiful storms ever seen, the eye was only four miles across, can you even believe that, that is one tight, too perfect in fact. So perfect that it is horrific to look at. Super Hurricane Cat Five Hurricane Wilma started out a long standing hovering as a Tropical Depression number 24. Now Hurricane Wilma has dumped the 2-4 and left the 4, that's right a Category 4 Hurricane, now she moves into Mega-Super Hurricane Status. The winds started mild at not much more than 30-33 mph and then she became a tropical storm for two-days, then in only one day it went from a Category I Hurricane to a Category IV in less than 18-hours; In fact in only 7-hours she went from a Category one with a low pressure of 970 mb to a Category IV with winds of 150 mb and a low pressure are of 901 mb.

More times than you can imagine. But when you are trying to come up with the definition of a typical cat surely it is better to study the overall habits of a cat and come up with the best summary. For starters, what does a cat do during a typical day? Here is my list of the things that acts do: ? They purr. ? They sleep. ? They chase moving objects. ? They eat. ? They sleep some more. I think the most common activities are sleeping and purring. From kittens to senior cats, purring is the earliest most easily distinguishable hallmark of all cats. All Cats Purr Whilst purring is common to all cats, it is not always indicative of its being happy. Sometimes, cats purr when they are distressed or sick. Some scientists believe that cats use purring as a mechanism to calm itself down in much the same way humans do during meditation. When they purr they produce similar brainwaves to the human 'alpha wave' patterns, which induce a feeling of inner calm. There have been recent suggestions that having a purring act on your lap will have a calming effect on you as well. In other words, the benefits of purring can be transferred. Many nursing homes for the elderly are keeping cats as pets for their residents with beneficial effects being noted. Cats can sleep for up to sixteen hours a day as well as taking catnaps of ten or fifteen minutes at a time during periods of activity. Many cats also love catnip plant and will munch at it and roll around in it and, to all appearances, appear to be addicted to it. Any change in behavior should be carefully observed and may require a visit to the vet if you become concerned. Your cat might seem to be an unusually good climber. This is typical of al cats. It is here that the similarity to a predator role is seen most clearly. From a high vantage point, the cat can observe the movement and presence of possible prey. They do this from a position of safety as they have excellent all round vision and can stay out of the way of danger. I think the best way to think of a cat is not so much as a predator, but an independent animal keeping up its hunting skills so they will always be prepared for the possibility that they may be abandoned by their owners. They maintain their independence and their predator behavior is nothing more than this.
