ARE CATS SMARTER THAN DOGS? CATS HAVE ABOUT TWICE THE NEURONS IN THEIR CEREBRAL CORTEX THAN DOGS. CATS ARE NOT AS DOMESTICATED AS DOGS SO THEY DO NOT TEND TO LISTEN TO THE COMMANDS OF THEIR OWNERS. YOUR CAT IS NOT DUMB, IT IS JUST IGNORING YOU.

CATS HAVE AN EXTRA ORGAN IN THEIR BODIES THAT ALLOWS THEM TO TASTE SCENTS ON THE AIR. IF YOU SEE A CAT WITH ITS MOUTH PARTLY OPEN IT IS PROBABLY TASTING THE AIR. MAYBE IT TASTES MICE OR BIRDS! BUT REMEMBER WHATEVER THAT CAT IS TASTING IT IS NOT SWEET. CATS CANNOT TASTE SWEETNESS.

CATS CANNOT TASTE SWEETNESS AND THEY ARE THE ONLY MAMMALS THAT CANNOT. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THIS IS BECAUSE OF A GENETIC MUTATION THAT AFFECTS CERTAIN TASTE RECEPTORS.

CATS HAVE MORE BONES THAN HUMANS. THEY HAVE 230 BONES WHILE PEOPLE HAVE 206 BONES. CATS COLLARBONES ARE NOT CONNECTED TO THE REST OF THEIR BONES UNLIKE WITH PEOPLE. INSTEAD A CATS COLLARBONE IS EMBEDDED IN THE SHOULDER MUSCLES.

A CAT ADDON WHERE IT PUTS A CAT BEHIND YOUR NAME.

CATS HAVE THE ABILITY TO DRINK SEAWATER! THEIR KIDNEYS ARE ABLE TO FILTER THE SALT OUT OF THE WATER WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT HUMANS CANNOT DO. IF YOU ARE EVER STRANDED AT SEA WITH YOUR CAT LET YOUR CAT DRINK THE SEA WATER AND SAVE ANY FRESHWATER FOR YOURSELF.

Help, my cat is fat. How do I solve this issue?

YOU CAN PUT THE CAT ON A DIET, PLAY WITH IT, OR BUY A REALLY WELL FITTING HARNESS AND TAKE IT FOR WALKS

EVER NOTICE THAT YOUR CAT SLEEPS ALOT? CATS SPEND ABOUT 70% OF THEIR LIVES SLEEPING. THATS 12-16 HOURS A DAY! YOU MUST PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR CAT BECAUSE IF YOU NOTICE IT IS SLEEPING MORE THAN USUAL THIS COULD BE A SIGN OF A HEALTH ISSUE OR JUST PLAIN BOREDOM. CATS WILL SLEEP WHEN THEY ARE BORED SO REMEMBER TO KEEP PLENTY OF TOYS AVAILABLE FOR YOUR CAT TO PLAY WITH!

PEOPLE JOKE THAT CATS DO NOT LOVE THEIR HUMANS. YOU CAN TELL IF YOUR CAT LOVES YOU OR NOT IF IT WILL LOOK AT YOU AND DO A SLOW BLINK. SOME PEOPLE CALL THIS A KITTY KISS. IT SHOWS CONTENTMENT AND TRUST. CATS DO NOT LIKE TO CLOSE THEIR EYES AROUND PEOPLE OR ANIMALS THAT THEY THINK MAY BE DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT MAKES THEM VULNERABLE IN CASE OF ATTACK.

I LOVE THESE FACTS!! Please keep posting every week! 😻😻

THANK YOU

DO ALL CATS LOVE CATNIP? NO, ONLY 50 PERCENT OF CATS WILL RESPOND TO CATNIP. CATS DO NOT HAVE ANY SENSITIVITY TO CATNIP UNTIL THEY ARE 3-6 MONTHS OLD. IF YOUR CAT IS SENSITIVE TO CATNIP THEN ENJOY WATCHING IT AS IT REACTS TO IT. WHEN CATNIP IS INHALED IT WILL MAKE YOUR CAT GO CRAZY. WHEN CATNIP IS INGESTED IT WILL MAKE YOUR CAT MORE MELLOW.

ADDITIONAL FUN HUMAN FACT!
CATNIP WAS USED IN THE PAST ON HUMANS BECAUSE IT HAS A SEDATIVE EFFECT SIMILAR TO CHAMOMILE WHEN IT IS BREWED AS A TEA!

CATS HAVE A UNIQUE WAY OF WALKING. WHEN THEY WALK, THEIR BACK PAWS STEP IN ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME PLACE THAT THE FRONT PAWS DID. THIS MAKES IT SO IT IS HARDER FOR PREY TO HEAR THE CATS APPROACHING. CATS ALSO ONLY STEP WITH THE PAWS ON ONE SIDE OF THEIR BODY AT A TIME. THE ONLY OTHER ANIMALS TO WALK LIKE THIS ARE CAMELS AND GIRAFFES! MEEEEEOW!

CATS USE THEIR WHISKERS TO DETERMINE IF THEY CAN FIT INTO A SMALL SPACE. A CAT'S WHISKERS ARE ABOUT THE SAME WIDTH AS ITS BODY. NEVER EVER CUT A CAT'S WHISKERS OR THE POOR KITTY COULD GET STUCK SOMEWHERE WHERE IT WOULDN'T HAVE GONE OTHERWISE.
