trees

Most cats enjoy being in high places. Whether it's a high shelf, a window perch or the top of the refrigerator, your cat may feel more comfortable in the upper half of the room where he can keep an eye on the world around and below him with greater confidence.

So, when Twitter user @Dewycheek shared some photos of cats having the time of their life on trees, people were not surprised and shared some photos of their own. 

Just a little warning- watching these relaxing photos might make you fall asleep... 

The floods that submerged one-fifth of Pakistan's territory took more than six months to recede.

One of the most affected regions was the Sindh region, located in the western corner of South Asia. 

At their peak, the floodwaters were up to 20 feet deep. About 20 million people were displaced.

But apparently, people were not the only ones seeking shelter from the devastating floods. 

One of the unexpected side-effects of the flooding has been that millions of spiders climbed up into the trees to escape the rising floodwaters, turning them into futuristic-looking trees cocooned in spiders' webs.

The people living in that area claimed they have never seen this phenomenon before but were glad to discover that those cocooned trees were actually significantly reducing the numbers of mosquitos and thereby, the risk of malaria. 

It is thought that the mosquitoes were getting caught in the spiders' webs which would be one blessing for the people of the area, facing so many other hardships after the floods. 

Check out some of the stunning photos, released by the department of international development.

There are so many reasons why cats love trees so much and now that spring has come, they just start flying up. And no, they have never heard of Bird's rights.  

One interesting fact about cats and trees id that If you look closely at your cat's claws, you'll notice that they are curved in a downwards direction. That is the reason they can easily scale trees. But when a cat wants to dismount from a tree, they have to sort of scurry down backwards. This is due to the curve of the claws, which prevents them from climbing back down the tree face first. 

Anyway, these cats seem quite satisfied up there and not too concerned with how they will go down.
