When cats get surprised they have a natural reaction to make them selves appear bigger hence the standing up and defensive posture.The jumping around is just for show.

interesting. ty.

Can you die?

i got this one, yeti.

certainly he can die. and certainly eventually he will die because we all die eventually. that's just the way it works.

but let's hope he doesn't die any time soon.

but depends on your definition of "we all"... and even your definition of dying.

Is dying what happens when your heart and brain stop functioning? Or do we live on in our legacies. If it's the latter, some may live for ever.

And by we all, do you mean humans, or life forms in general? Because as crazy as it seems, there are many life forms, some surprisingly complex, that just don't seem to age and die like mammals.

Death is certain to living organisms, bodies will eventually use up energy faster than it can replenish it self once this begins to occur death is certain. Death is when all forms of the body stop.

Not necessarily true. For example, the lobster doesn't age, it just grows bigger and more fertile... but there's nothing in it's DNA that will cause it to die of age, it will only die if some external force or illness kills it.

There are Jellyfish that are also considered immortal. When it gets sick, or damaged, it reverts to a ball of cells that mutate to take on other roles within the organism, in essence starting fresh, and never actually aging.

And then you have clonal colonies, where an organism keeps cloning itself, creating new, young, identical copies.

a) Coolio
b) They generally die off of old age they just CAN revert to an infantile state and restart their lives on an emergency basis when needed but usually they just die.
c) They may clone themselves and an identical copy lives on but the original still dies.

So if lobster don't age or die and continually grow then somewhere there is a massive lobster waiting to emerge from the sea and take over the world. Don't recall seeing any mile long lobsters recently.

Jellyfish reverting back to basic cell structure and re emerging is still effectively killing off the first version of it self.

that's it. i'm moving to canada to get an education.

It's still only making almost identical copies by the looks of it.

So you're telling me that at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean there's like is a lobster that is the size the Titanic.
