Cat facts

A cat can be either right-pawed or left-pawed.

A cat cannot see directly under its nose. This is why the cat cannot seem to find tidbits on the floor.

A cat has 230 bones in its body. A human only has 206 bones.

A cat in a hurry can sprint at about thirty-one miles per hour.

A cat will almost never meow at another cat. Cats use this sound for humans.

A cat will clean itself with paw and tongue after a dangerous experience or when it has fought with another cat. This is believed to be an attempt by the animal to soothe its nerves by doing something natural and instinctive.

A cat will never break a sweat because it has no sweat glands.

A cat will spend nearly 30% of its life grooming itself.

A cat's ear pivots 180 degrees.

A cat's hearing rates as one of the top in the animal kingdom. Cats can hear sounds as high-pitched as 65 kHz; a human's hearing stops at just 20 kHz.

A cat's jaws cannot move sideways.

A group of adult cats is called a clowder.

A group of kittens is called a kindle.

A large majority of white cats with blue eyes are deaf. White cats with only one blue eye are deaf only in the ear closest to the blue eye.

A male cat can begin mating when he is between 7 and 10 months old.

Ailurophobia is the fear of cats. Julius Caesar, Henry II, Charles XI, and Napoleon all suffered from this and would nearly faint in the presence of a cat.

All cats are born with blue eyes.

Cat urine glows under a black light.

Catnip can affect lions and tigers as well as house cats. It excites them because it contains a chemical that resembles an excretion of the dominant female's urine.

Cats have about 100 different vocalization sounds. In comparison, dogs have about 10.

Cats purr at about 26 cycles per second, the same frequency as an idling diesel engine.

Cats step with both left legs, then both right legs when they walk or run. The only other animals to do this are the giraffe and the camel.

Cats use more than 500 muscles to leap, jump, and sprint.

Sir Isaac Newton, who first described the principle of gravity, also invented the swinging cat door for the convenience of his many cats.

The ancestor of all domestic cats is the African Wild Cat, which still exists today.

The average canned or dry cat meal is the nutritional equivalent of eating five mice.

The cat family split from the other mammals at least 40 million years ago, making them one of the oldest mammalian families.

The catgut formerly used as strings in tennis rackets and musical instruments does not come from cats. Catgut actually comes from sheep, hogs, and horses.

The cheetah is the only cat in the world that can't retract its claws.

The heaviest cat ever recorded weighed 46 lbs.

The only domestic animal not mentioned in the Bible is the cat.

The penalty for killing a cat, 4,000 years ago in Egypt, was death.

The Persian cat has the longest and thickest fur of all domestic cats. The topcoat may be up to 5 inches long.

You can tell a cat's mood by looking into its eyes. A frightened or excited cat will have large, round pupils. An angry cat will have narrow pupils. The pupil size is related as much to the cat's emotions as to the degree of light.

Young cats can distinguish between two identical sounds that are just 18 inches apart at a distance of up to 60 feet.
