Cat Facts

Cats have five toes on each front paw, but only four toes on each back paw.

Cats have true fur. They have an undercoat and outercoat.

The cat is a social animal. A pet cat will respond and answer to speech, and seems to enjoy human companionship.

When well taken care of, a cat can live twenty or more years.

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

Cats have AB blood groups just like people.

People that are allergic to cats are actually allergic to cat saliva or to cat dander.

Cats lack a true collarbone. They can generally squeeze their bodies through any space that they can get their heads through.

Many cats cannot properly digest cow's milk. Milk and milk products give them diarrhea.

Cats do get cancer and can have a form of aids.

Cats can have gum disease. The vet should clean their teeth once a year.

Most cats have no eyelashes.

Cats with white fur and skin on their ears are very prone to sunburn. Frequent sunburns can lead to skin cancer.

Cats can get tapeworms from eating fleas and mice. >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.

A cat is pregnant for 58-65 days.

White vinegar is good to neutralize cat urine odor.

Cat "kneading" behavior is left over from kittenhood when they kneaded their mother's belly for milk. The marching or kneading means that the cat is happy.

Cats And Physics

Law of Cat Inertia

A cat at rest will tend to remain at rest, unless acted upon by some outside force--such as the opening of cat food or a nearby scurrying mouse.

Law of Cat Motion

A cat will move in a straight line, unless there is a really good reason to change direction.

Law of Cat Magnetism

All blue blazers and black sweaters attract cat hair in direct proportion to the darkness of the fabric.

Law of Cat Thermodynamics

Heat flows from a warmer to a cooler body, except in the case of a cat, in which all heat flows to the cat.

Law of Cat Stretching

A cat will stretch to a distance proportional to the length of the nap just taken.

Law of Cat Sleeping

All cats must sleep with people whenever possible in a position as uncomfortable as possible for the people involved.

Law of Cat Elongation

A cat can make their body long enough to reach just about any counter top that has anything remotely interesting on it.

Law of Dinner Table Attendance

Cats must attend all meals when anything good is served.

Law of Rug Configuration

No rug may remain in its naturally flat state for very long.

Law of Obedience Resistance

A cat's resistance varies in proportion to a human's desire for them to do something.

First Law of Energy Conservation

Cats know that energy can neither be created nor destroyed and will, therefore, use as little energy as possible.

Second Law of Energy Conservation

Cats also know that energy can only be stored by a lot of napping.

Law of Refrigerator Observation

If a cat watches a refrigerator long enough, someone will come along and take out something good to eat.

Law of Electric Blanket Attraction

Law of Bag/Box Occupancy

All bags and boxes in a given room must contain a cat within the earliest possible nanosecond.

Law of Cat Embarrassment

A cat's irritation rises in direct proportion to their embarrassment times the amount of human laughter.

Law of Milk Consumption

A cat will drink his weight in milk, squared, just to show you he can.

Law of Furniture Replacement

Law of Cat Landing

A cat will always land in the softest place possible.

Law of Pill Rejection

Little Cat Lost

So Small am I...
So long the street;
So many wheels!
And quick stepping feet!

Alone am I,
No passer by
Listens or hears
My frightened cry;

Hoping, I wait...
Beside the gate...
I may be seen
Before I die...

So many people,
Fat doggies on leads...
Go rushing along...
But nobody heeds...
A small, lonely kitten
Who is dying for food...
For food and a friend
In a home that is Good
