21 Cat Facts

 

Your cat wants to own you…

When your cat rubs up against things it leaves a scent, telling other cats to back off! So when your kitty rubs up against you he or she is basically saying “you’re mine”.

 

Milk makes cats sick

While your kitty might love a bowl of milk it is actually difficult for them to digest and is a cause of feline obesity. As cats get older it is harder for them to digest lactose and this could give them diarrhoea. Cats can get all of the nutrition they need from good-quality commercial cat food.

 

No two cats have the same nose

Cats have a unique pattern on their noses, similar to how we all have unique fingerprints.

 

Cats can’t taste sweetness

Your cat's tastebuds can't sense sugar.

 

Cats make 100 different sounds

Your cat communicates using over 100 sounds. Dogs, on the other hand, make only 10.

 

A cat’s ears can turn 180 degrees

There are over twenty muscles around a cat’s ear. Cats can swivel their ears to face the direction of sounds.

 

Cats sleep A LOT

So you probably have notices that your cat tends to sleep a lot. But did you know that the average cat spends two thirds of its life sleeping?

 

Cats don’t have collarbones

There is a clavicle (or collarbone) buried in a cat’s shoulder muscle but it is not connected to any other bones. This allows your puss to squeeze into the tiniest of spaces.

 

Cat population

According to the Centre for Companion Animals in the Community (CCAC) there are 2.6 million cats in Australia.

 

Champion jumper

A cat can jump up to five times its own height in a single bound.

 

Cats have night vision

You might be fumbling in the dark but your cat knows exactly where it is going because he/she can see at one-sixth of the light level that humans need.

 

Cats hide illness

Keep a close eye on your puss because they will probably try to hide any illness. This is because in the wild showing any weaknesses makes them vulnerable to predators.

 

Your cat is cleaner than you

Cats spend one third of their waking hours grooming themselves.

 

Your cat can beat Usain Bolt

A domestic cat can reach a speed of 48 km/h which means it could beat the fastest man on earth. Usain merely runs at 43 km/h.

 

Your cat will win a staring competition

Don’t be surprised if your cat stares unblinking for ages as cats don’t need to blink like humans to keep their eyes lubricated.

 

Cat toes

Most cats have five toes on their front paws and four toes on their back paws.

 

A group of cats is called...

A group of cats is called a clowder or a glaring of cats. The collective noun for a group of baby cats is a kindle or a litter.

 

Cats can dream

Cats produce the same brain wave patterns as humans when we dream. What would your feline friend be dreaming about?

 

Cat’s whiskers

The function of a cat’s whiskers is to test if he or she can fit in a space.

 

Cats love heat

Your cat’s ancestors lived in the desert so they have a good tolerance for warm temperatures.

 

Car Travel With Cats

Whether it's a trip to your local vet or a family holiday, at some stage every cat will require a ride in the car.

She manages at The Palace Theater in Myrtle Beach, SC. They have had a big magic show there the last couple years. The Tigers are there for the show. Last year they had one white and one orange one. They have more this year and they built a large area for them outside. I love cats (have 4) and just think its so cool how they act like regular cats in so any ways..... :)
