Strange Facts About Cats

Any surprises here for the cat owners?

Some breeds have a single coat (e.g., korats) rather than a double coat of fur.

Lots of interesting facts, many of which I knew. I've been a cat Mom for 40 years. My oldest lived to be 19. They are awesome creatures and I can't imagine life without them. I have a cat (8 years old) and dog (12 years old).

@lolakimono , The last fact was new to me. I’ve often wondered why my Sophie has trouble finding treats on the floor. Good to know ! She also manages to get them before the dog does though.

as my 12 year olf nephew Matthew would say "Aren't Cats The Best?!"

My nephew is pretty darn cool himself - so much so, that I named a feral cat (I've been gingerly taking care of for the last 5 years) after him!

Thanks, @lolakimono . I knew most of this already having a steady stream of cats for almost 40 years, but some I didn't know. I don't know what I would do with out them, even the one that starts waking me up every morning around 2:30 a.m. He's a bugger.

I had a kitty live to 22 years old.He beat up my 15 yr old when I was trying to introduce them. He died 2 weeks later when he stopped eating and diagnosed with cancer. My others have made it to 14-16.My 15 yr old was recently diagnosed with thryoidism but Dr. vet said he had the healthiest senior panels he had seen for a 15 yr old. yeah! I always worry about their kidneys.

My 4 kitties love my husband but they LOVE me. DH calls me the Queen. Doing the official wave from behind my computer

Oh no! That's what I call "taking the flight to nowhere", when you have to get up at the crack of dawn, disoriented, to go to the airport for an early morning flight- except there is no airplane to catch, LOL.
