Evolutionary Biologists Say Cats May Walk Upright Within 700,000 Years
New research from the University of Paris suggests cat evolution is trending toward upright posture.
“More and more, we are seeing cats gaining survival advantages when they stand on their hind legs,” says Michel Ager, an evolutionary biologist involved in the study. “The increased height and potential use of the forearms is akin to the trajectory we’ve observed in primate evolution.”
But don’t expect to see cats walking around with top hats and canes anytime soon. Given their rate of reproduction and genomic resistance to mutation, Ager says it may take between 700,000 and 1 million years for any meaningful species differentiation to occur.

UK Bunny Records Award-Winning Album From Bedroom
UK Bunny Records Award-Winning Album From Bedroom
Homespun musical acts are nothing new in the age of Garage Band and YouTube. Add Pickles to the roster of DIY stars.
The bunny from Wolverhampton, England recorded an original, full-length album in his bedroom last summer and released it on the Internet for free. It didn’t take long for prog-rock fans to find and share it, and the buzz soon got the attention of industry talent scouts.
Today, Pickles is wrapping up a European tour on the heels of a Bunny’s Choice Award for “Best New Artist.” He plans to record a follow up, this time with a producer in one of London’s hottest studios.
