For the same generic reason that table salt doesn't taste or behave

-- Water doesn't act anything like Hydrogen or Oxygen.
-- A candle doesn't act anything like Carbon or Hydrogen.
-- Dry ice doesn't act anything like Carbon or Oxygen.

Answer:
Synthesis reaction
For the first question you could devise a way to test the question to find the answer. You could create a sample of black cats, a sample of white cats, and a control sample of a both black and white cats.
<span>You would measure how much the cats eat each day. The study could be repeated or reviewed by your peers. </span>
<span>For the second question, there is currently no way to sample a person's thoughts, but even if there was a way, there would be no way to repeat the moment. It is not testable and not repeatable and thus cannot use the scientific method. </span>
<span>Calories can be measured and compared. </span>
<span>The tide can be observed until someone hypothesizes the right testable notion to determine the answer.</span>
