Cats can drink seawater. Unlike humans, cats have kidneys that can filter out salt and use the water content to hydrate their bodies. Scientists believe that a mutation in a key taste receptor has prevented cats from being able to taste sugar. No cat will ever know the joy of a cupcake. Source: Buzzfeed

You’ll be happy to hear that cats can eat watermelon. However, the seeds need to be removed first, as the compounds contained within them can be very harmful. Watermelon seeds, much like other types of seeds contain cyanide, (otherwise known as cyanogenic glycosides, a harmful natural by product that cats can not process.) If the seed is crushed during consumption, traces of cyanide will be ingested by your cat, leading to cyanide based poisoning. Source: CanCats

Infatuation is when you find somebody
who is absolutely perfect. Love is when you
realize that they aren’t and it doesn’t matter.

~SantaBanta

You are my dream in my sleep.
You are my vision in my eye.
You are my smile on my lips.
You are beat of my heart.
You are Angel in my prayer.
You are light of my life!
~SantaBanta

Krishna was not a Hindu.
Buddha was not a Buddhist.
Jesus was not a Christian.
Muhammad was not a Muslim.
Guru Nanak was not a Sikh.
They were all teachers who taught Love;
and Love was their religion!

~SantaBanta

Nowadays it’s hard to find a good person.
It’s hard to find a person to talk to, someone
who will just listen and not judge you,
someone who will just take you as you are.

Friendship without self interest
is one of the rare and beautiful things in life…

Eucalyptus leaves is the only food koalas eat. Although the leaves are poisonous to most animals, they have special bacteria that live in their stomachs to break down and digest them. Their diet includes up to one pound of leaves a day.

The koala has special teeth adapted for their eucalyptus diet. The majority of their front and back teeth act like scissors to chop the leaves into pieces suitable for digestion. Eucalyptus leaves have a fair amount of moisture hence koalas seldom drink water.

Plant specie information about eucalyptus trees indicate there are many different varieties in the wild. In fact each koala is particular about what kind they will eat. Baby koalas acquire their taste for specific varieties by adulthood. One of the main reasons koalas are endangered in some areas is the destruction of native eucalyptus forest habitats.

Eucalyptus leaves are high in fiber and low in nutrients. In addition to eating large amounts, koalas are able to survive on their diet since they have a slow metabolic system to conserve nutrients and energy. Since they have no natural predators in Australia, this adaptation is not to their disadvantage.

Koala information gathered from both wild and captive habitats suggest koalas live to be around 15 to 20 years.

I think friendship is the only correct way to help others.
Love on the other side doesn’t let you be free
because you have strong feelings for that particular person.
Friendship will let you progress. ~Unknown
