CATS can suffer from a feline form of Alzheimer's disease, Edinburgh scientists revealed today.
A study into ageing cats identified a key protein which can build up in the nerve cells in their brains and cause mental deterioration, similar to that in humans.
The research was carried out by scientists at the University of Edinburgh, as well as universities at St Andrews, Bristol and California.
Dr Danielle Gunn-Moore, of Edinburgh University, said: "We've known for a long time that cats develop dementia, but this study tells us that the cat's neural system is being compromised."
"Your arguments fail to convince me."
The principle is sound, so the problem must be with the presentation. I'll keep working on it.
Re: your last post
Advice : don't.
Your "principle" and your annoying hypocrisy = Nobody cares.
Go ahead .... get in the last word.

Gee, Scat, I thought you said "g'bye." Seems to me like you're the one who needs the last word.
"Your "principle" and your annoying hypocrisy"
You use a lot of words you don't understand. I'd advise you to find a good essay on hypocrisy by solid Catholic thinker, then do whatever you have to do to raise your educational level until you can understand it.
"Nobody cares."
The grown-ups do.
And to demonstrate your level of maturity, you wrap up your tantrum with more name-calling. Truly, you have a dizzying intellect. The sort more often seen on DU than FR.
