Amazing Cat Facts

Posted by admin in Cat Care on September 20, 2009 | 2 responses

Cats are amazing animals – full of beauty and grace. How much does the average cat-owner really know about his feline friend? Very little, I’d say. Here are some very interesting facts on cats that you will surely enjoy.

  • Just like humans have fingerprints; cats have nose prints. The nose pad of each cat is unique
  • Purring is not always a sign of contentment, cats also purr when they experience pain and discomfort.
  • It is interesting to compare cat-age and human age. A 6-month old cat compares to a 10-year old human. 16 years in cat age are equivalent to 80 years in human life.
  • America adores cats; Americans spend more on cat food than they do on baby food.
  • Cats are amazingly successful hunters. One in three pounces of a domestic cat result in a catch.
  • Cats cannot taste sweet foodstuffs and chocolate is poisonous to cats.
  • A neutered cat lives two-three years longer than unoperated cats.
  • White cats with blue eyes are invariably deaf.
  • Cats have personality; and the way you bring up your kitten will determine its personality for the rest of its life.
  • Here is an amazing one – cats are capable of a hundred different sounds. The dog’s vocal capacity is limited to only ten.
  • Cats are amazing jumpers; they can jump up to seven times their height.
