More Interesting Facts About Cats

Tweet

I love the kitties. I have had them in my life all of my life. Here are a few more interesting facts I have found out about them: * If your cat is outdoors mostly, they are probably farsighted, and if they are indoor cats they are probably nearsighted. * Humans have 203 bones where cats have 230. * Our household cat pets share 95.6% of their genome (the complete set of material present in a cell) with tigers. * Most cats are lactose-intolerant, can only handle their mother's milk, and stop producing the enzyme needed to digest milk when they move on to solid food when they are kittens. * Their purr is actually healing. It vibrates at between 25 and 150 hertz which is the same frequency that aids with bone and muscle healing. * Cats show they trust you with two different gestures-- the but in face, and the laying on their backs with their bellies exposed. * The act of hissing isn't a show of aggression; it is actually showing fear and can be an indication that your cat is in pain.
