1. There are more than 500 million domestic cats in the world, with 33 different breeds.
2. Cats “paw” or “knead” (repeatedly treading on a spot – sometimes its owner) to mark their territory. Cats sweat through the bottom of their paws and rub off the sweat as a marking mechanism.
3. Cat urine glows in the dark when a black light shines on it. If you think your cat or kitten has had an accident in your home, use a black light to find the mishap.
4. The print on a cat’s nose has a unique ridged pattern, like a human fingerprint.
5. 25% of cat owners admit to blow drying their cat’s hair after a bath.
6. If your cat is near you, and her tail is quivering, this is the greatest expression of love your cat can give you.
7. If your cat is thrashing its tail, she is in a bad mood – time for you to keep your distance!
8. Only domestic cats hold their tails straight up while walking. Wild cats hold their tails horizontally or tucked between their legs while walking.
