Did you know that a physicist once made his cat the co-author of his paper because he'd accidentally written "we" instead of "I" throughout his work and couldn't be bothered to change it? Also, believe it or not, the British Government has a position called "Chief Mouser To The Cabinet Office" that can only be assigned to a cat. And although this may not surprise you, a study once proved that cats are more than capable of recognizing their owner's voices, but simply choose to ignore it.

And they also need to report those people to the local authorities, who should wait a couple of weeks and go to your house to see if you ended up adopting a cat. If you only every tried to adopt a black cat right before Halloween, and you didn't own a cat afterwards, and you never showed an inclination to own a cat later, you need seriously to go on some kind of watch list.
Please don't breed cats for a look. Well mixed genes means healthy cats. If there is 18 links of stray, backyard, runt of the litter, and general fuss-ball I'm happy, as is the cat.
We Japanese say that it's a sign of bad luck when black cat across infront of you..I love black cats though!
And if you do this to your cat, you are a disease to this planet and you need to be terminated.
Oh well my cat throws a tantrum if he doesn't get some milk from time to time.
This is actually false. Saying that all cats are lactose intolerant is like saying all humans are lactose intolerant. Some cats can not and should drink milk, other cats will drink milk just fine. Should it still be done in moderation? Absolutely. Too much milk will still upset their stomachs, but a saucer of milk isn't going to make most cats sick. I work at a shelter, and closely with three vets, and everyone has realized the same thing. But, better to give off old knowledge then learn something newer.
It is better to err on the side of caution though. I'm lactose intolerant. It is painful and unpleasant when I have too much dairy. I wouldn't wish that on my kitties. A little to see how they digest it and some once in a whole if it goes well is the smart move.

I'm lucky I guess, my cat doesn't like milk beyond sniffing at it. But I have to guard my iced tea!
I've let my cats have about 2Tblsp of heavy cream or whole fat milk with cream in it as a rare treat with no bad results.
But you can absolutely give them lactose free milk or cream.
It is OK to give cats loctose free milk and cream, though.
They also make kitty milk and kitten milk, if you feel you need to treat them to a bit of "milk". At least that won't make them puke.
Should apply to humans, too, but we train ourselves to keep the lactaze flowing.
That's not how biology works... You either can process it or you can't but you can't "train" yourself to do it.

My cat only drinks milk, won't touch water, so I have to buy lacto free milk, I spend more on her milk, then on my own! She's proper spoilt!!
One of my cats love milk and drinks it daily with no side effects. The other had bad reactions and now won't touch it. The one who does drink milk also likes most fruit and many vegies.
Special cat's milk is better. It helped my 17 year old cat regain his strength.
I give my cat goat milk, But before my dad used to give him Diluted milk..
This is incorrect. There have been at least a dozen species of cats that have gone extinct, even in the last 100 years. Leopard, lion and tiger subspecies have been obliterated by humans.
I remember of a news, may be ten years ago. Gendarmes found out that a travelling circus was feeding their lion with cats and dogs they stole in the villages where they settled.
I wonder if cat's know all this stuff about themselves, because mine act pretty helpless.
It's just an act to make you want to take care of them. :)

Interesting! I already knew some facts, but I learned some new ones too :-)
Hello Thanks for sharing this amazing blog. I read it carefully & it was really fantastic. Post some more blogs related to "Dog Breed Questions" Regards.
"cats kidneys are so efficient it can survive on a diet consisting only of meat, with no additional water" not true, all creatures need water to live a healthy life. do not dehydrate your cats because of a post you saw on the internet
I loooove cats..but my mom don't allow one....I hope somebody gifts me a cat.
Cat toes are called 'toe beans', and the tufts of hair in their ears are called 'ear furnishings'.
I really love them all but I think #1 is great. Cats are better then people. My favorite animal.
re: #68 - It wasn't admission. It was a discount. It wasn't a zoo either, per se. It was a managerie at the Tower of London.
Interesting to learn about tuna addiction. We once had a domestic medium hair who was definitely fish addicted, specifically a type of bait fish called a sprat. Any time we caught some, he'd meet us in the driveway, and yowl until we gave him half a dozen. We had to carefully ration them, because if we just gave him a bowl full, he'd eat until he was sick, then keep eating. He'd eat other things when fish wasn't an option, but as soon as there were sprats in the house, that was all he cared about.
The fact about no cat extinctions in 10,000 years is false. The Australian Tasmanian Tiger (or Thylacine) went extinct in 1936 when the last one died in the Hobart zoo. It was found to be more feline than canine despite also having the name Tasmanian Wolf.
The Thylacine wasn't a cat species though. It was a marsupial. Part of the Polyprotodonta family.

Cats bring you dead things because you are a part of their family. Some cats only share with their own young, some will share with the entire "pride", if you will, and some won't share at all. It depends on you and the cat. My cat kills things sometimes, but she rarely brings them to me because I bring her my "kills". She sees me as a good enough hunter for her not to need to share with me. The few times she does, though, is because she wants the praise of another "hunter", I suppose.
how dare they mark me as their territory there were about 10 to 15 of them at the same time lol~ not to mention they lick off the scent afterwards these bastards haha~
Anyone else see the irony in #4? Disney using cats to keep the mice away??
massive error in fact #66... 32 storeys is not 320 metres, perhaps you meant 320 FEET? Building storeys are not 10m...
#64. The lower the number is the lower the sound is, not higher.
I read somewhere that cats respond better to lower frequencies and dogs to higher ones.
