How long can a kitten hold it's breath for?

They call you sick, but it's only because their tiny intellects can't grasp the magnitude of your undertaking. Why you're adding to the pool of human wossaname, innit?? That's a fine thing to do. All great scholars and scientists have had their work mocked and feared...it shows you're on the right path.
PS: If you do evolve some aquatic kittehs can I have a ginger one?

nice bit of sarcasm (at least I hope so) people do jump to conclusions sometimes. try letting them wade in shallow watter first.

I don't know what you mean. How can it be sarcastic to a science?
All of our bases is belong to Science. One day, all of the people will be science too. Of this I am certain.

I am doing a science on them! Not simply drowning them. I have no interest in seeing them drown, I'm trying to see how quickly evolution can get them swimming like sea kittens. If I was to interfere with the experiment, then the results would be flawed, and that really would be pointless, wouldn't it?

Everyone agrees, that using a proper science, a Cat can be both dead, and alive at any given time. That has been proved using quantums. So using Schrodinger's
model of quantum causality, any casualty of this experiment, is just as not dead, as it is dead. Which negates any eigenstate you can hang on the kitten. I didn't have to use Schrodingers model at all, but I wanted the parameters of the results, to fall between "Swimming" and "No longer swimming". Not "dead kitten" or "live kitten"!

But the whole point is to gets then to evolve, not teach them to swim! The ones that swim the whole way back from the middle of the pond, gets to breed, and the ones that don't, well, they don't. Then (according to the premise of the science I are doing) In four generations, the kittens should show a marked improvement in their ability to swim, having inheritsing the gene from their swimming parent. In twenty generations I will has a distict sub-species of swimming or water cat. Like a dolphin, but with fur. Perhaps.

Your experiment says more about the evolution of humans than cats. It's often better to keep your mouth closed and have everybody think you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Oh right, and you're a Rocket Scientist then are you? No? Didn't think so.
Got any better ideas?

This isn't about rockets. You have no more of an idea of who I am than I have of who you are. I'm only going by what you have written.

Your statement, "trying to see how quickly evolution can get them swimming" demonstrates you don't have any idea what evolution is. Evolution is a process that takes place over many generations where living things adapt to changes in the environment that effect the entire species. The members of the species that are capable of surviving the change are able to breed and the ones that can't survive it, will die. As a result, over many generations the species will evolve into a form where all can live with the environmental change.

A better idea for a science experiment to demonstrate evolution would be to observe the effect that trash dumps and fast food parking lots are having on seagulls and predict the effect that will have on the species.

Rob Jul 18, 2010

But I hate Seagulls! Nasty squawking shitehawks, the lot of them. I don't care if all the Seagulls get poisoned to death by burgers and KFC. Or buried in Landfill sites. It's funny to throw them bits of bread, soaked in "Easy Start", and watch them fall out of the sky.

umm first off , you may think that its a "science project" but a kitten should not be used as one, look it up on the net don't try it, what you are doing is classified as animal abuse, a kitten can not swim and cats hate water what are you thinking? its sick people like you who use innocent animals as a form of entertainment that belong behind bars, do something more productive with your life then killing kittens, you are an embarrassment to "science" I should call the animal control on you, yes you might not live where I live but I am very smart with computers and I can find out who you are and you deserve to be charged, your acting like your so smart, if your so smart then you would no what you are doing is extremely wrong. And cats will not evolve into swimmer kittens? and you like science ??? what do you expect them to grow fins.. I cannot believe I am even reading this.

Grow up and get a life leave the animals alone. What your doing is the same thing as putting a new born baby in the water to swim across a pond would they be able to do it no so why would a kitten be able to. grow up and if this is a joke you have serious issues.

MizzNewCutie Jul 17, 2010

Oh have a look at the big picture will you people? I am trying to help the whole species, bring a whole new environment to them! And also to probe deeper into the way species evolve! That can only be a good thing. And for your information, new born babies are perfectly at home in an environment of water. After all, they just spent the last nine months suspended in amniotic fluid, (which is 97.8% water) and can swim just fine. As for your sentimental wibbling about the 'poor kittens', I can't afford to let sentiment sway me. I'm doing a science! Now will someone actually answer the question?!

No. Anyway, I just got another dozen kittens delivered, so now I can start phase two. Watch this space.

I'm wondering if water temperature would make any difference. This batch, I'm going to start with fresh kittens, and a water temperature of 1 degree above. Then, increase the temperature by 10 degrees, for each successive kitten, until I find the optimum temperature to encourage them to swim for longer. This way, I will use less kittys (In the long run) because I will have perfected the best swimming conditions for them.

Report abuse

BadBeast Jul 22, 2010

Nah, that didn't make any difference. and now I'm out of Kittens again. Maybe if I 'medicated' them with some kind of a stimulant they might swim for longer. I'll give that some thought. More Kittens delivered on Thursday. Two dozen this time. And in case anyone was wondering, I have a friend at an Animal Shelter, and he assures me that these kittens would all have been put to sleep anyway.
At least this way, they get put to a good use.

The "good use" will happen when you and your stupid friend get locked up for animal abuse. Michael Vick's millions didn't keep him and his buddies out of the slammer and neither will your misguided science fantasy. There's no difference.

Rob Jul 26, 2010

alright badbeast this is incredibly sick. I would rather see them be put to sleep quickly then hear of the kittens drowning because of your sick experiment. there are many other ways to study evolution. ones that dont involve killing innocent animals. I hope you have fun in jail because this is animal abuse and I could easily report this to the administrator of the site. he can get your email address, contact the police with it, and have your sick ass arrested for this atrocity.

I picked up my E.U Science Research Grant today, (What, do you think Kittens are cheap?) so I can have the downstairs Lab at the University Until Chrismas. I suddenly have so many more options, I can do the oxygen reduction research now too, to find what the minimum % oxygen, to sustain life.

Report abuse

BadBeast Jul 27, 2010

Then reducing this % by small increments of perhaps 1 or 2% As the subject becomes acclimatized to the rarified atmosfear, the 02 level is dropped accordingly. Eventually we should be able to isolate the genome for sustained anoxia. After maybe four or five generations, we should have a 'subject' that is no longer dependent upon O2 to sustain viable awareness, motor and brain funtion, operationalal Limbic system etc. These will enable us to send these 'Spacecats' to Mars, and see if the experiment has produced a viable genetic marker for mapping, If we, Mankind can Isolate the gene, using my Eugenics Program, then we can finally take to the Stars! We could be living offworld in maybe 30-40 yrs. That is way cool enough justification for my research! Now do you see how important my work is? Well, do you?

I think everything you say is bullshit. You're more interested in maintaining your bad-boy image than science or evolution. :-)

Like many others, I fell for your story because I had the mental picture of a demented teenager in his back yard drowning cats. Where you screwed up was when you said you had received a grant. Research money is hard to come by and the people who hand it out have a clear understanding of evolution. They know you couldn't possibly make an evolutionary change in cats over two hundred years, let alone a few dozen cats in six months.

You're busted!

Rob Jul 27, 2010

Research money isn't hard to find, if you are doing an important science like this. With far reaching implications for the whole Planet.

And the EU are particularly interested in re branding their Space Program, and pushing the boundaries of research into new and wonderful directions. So nice try . And I don't have a "Bad Boy" Image. If you only knew how very much I don't care about image, you might be less blinded by your own disapproval. If you don't have anything helpful to say, then with all due respect, STFU.

And though his pro-active approach to humanising these poor unfortunate children, is considered by many to be harsh or even brutal, his progressive techniques have made a considerable difference in re-offending levels (within the internal disciplinary dynamic of the Institution)
