Question

who ever tells the more information he gets the most points okkk soo doo fastt

Answer 1

Cats have five toes on each front paw, but only four toes on each back paw.
Cats have true fur, in that they have both an undercoat and an outer coat.
Contrary to popular belief, the cat is a social animal. A pet cat will respond and answer to speech , and seems to enjoy human companionship.
If left to her own devices, a female cat may have three to seven kittens every four months. This is why population control using neutering and spaying is so important.
Kittens are born with both eyes and ears closed. When the eyes open, they are always blue at first. They change color over a period of months to the final eye color.
When well treated, a cat can live twenty or more years.
A cat cannot see directly under its nose. This is why the cat cannot seem to find tidbits on the floor.
The gene in cats that causes the orange coat color is sexed linked, and is on the X sex chromosome. This gene may display orange or black. Thus, as female cat with two X chromosomes may have orange and black colors in its coat. A male, with only one X chromosome, can have only orange or black, not both.
If a male cat is both orange and black it is ( besides being extremely rare ) sterile. To have both the orange and the black coat colors, the male cat must have all or part of both female X chromosomes. This unusual sex chromosome combination will render the male cat sterile.
Cats have AB blood groups just like people.
A form of AIDS exists in cats.
Siamese coat color and crossed eyes may be caused by the same gene.
The color of the points in Siamese cats is heat related. Cool areas are darker.
Siamese kittens are born white because of the heat inside the mother's uterus before birth. This heat keeps the kittens' hair from darkening on the points.
There are many myths about cats. Check this page to see some of them discussed, and to find out the true facts.
Though rare, cats can contract canine heart worms.
People who are allergic to cats are actually allergic to cat saliva or to cat dander. If the resident cat is bathed regularly the allergic people tolerate it better.
Studies now show that the allergen in cats is related to their scent glands. Cats have scent glands on their faces and at the base of their tails. Entire male cats generate the most scent. If this secretion from the scent glands is the allergen, allergic people should tolerate spayed female cats the best.
Cats do not think that they are little people. They think that we are big cats. This influences their behavior in many ways.
Cats are subject to gum disease and to dental caries. They should have their teeth cleaned by the vet or the cat dentist once a year.
Cats, especially older cats, do get cancer. Many times this disease can be treated successfully.
Most cats have no eyelashes.
Many cats cannot properly digest cow's milk. Milk and milk products give them diarrhea.
Cats lack a true collarbone. Because of this lack, cats can generally squeeze their bodies through any space they can get their heads through. You may have seen a cat testing the size of an opening by careful measurement with the head.
Cats with white fur and skin on their ears are very prone to sunburn. Frequent sunburns can lead to skin cancer. Many white cats need surgery to remove all or part of a cancerous ear. Preventive measures include sunscreen, or better, keeping the cat indoors.
Cats can get tapeworms from eating fleas. These worms live inside the cat forever, or until they are removed with medication. They reproduce by shedding a link from the end of their long bodies. This link crawls out the cat's anus, and sheds hundreds of eggs. These eggs are injested by flea larvae, and the cycles continues. Humans may get these tapeworms too, but only if they eat infected fleas. Cats with tapeworms should be dewormed by a veterinarian.
Cats can get tapeworms from eating mice. If your cat catches a mouse it is best to take the prize away from it.
There are tiny, parasitic worms that can live in a cat's stomach. These worms cause frequent vomiting.
Many people fear catching a protozoan disease, Toxoplasmosis, from cats. This disease can cause illness in the human, but more seriously, can cause birth defects in the unborn. Toxoplasmosis is a common disease, sometimes spread through the feces of cats. It is caused most often from eating raw or rare beef. Pregnant women and people with a depressed immune system should not touch the cat litter box. Other than that, there is no reason that these people have to avoid cats.
Cats have a full inner-eyelid, or nictitating membrane. This inner-eyelid serves to help protect the eyes from dryness and damage. When the cat is ill, the inner-eyelid will frequently close partially, making it visible to the observer.
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 about 58-65 days. This is roughly two months.
Information from a Reader:
Regarding the cat spraying problem. Ordinary white vinegar is good to neutralize the odor. Also there is a product calle d "ODO BAN" which is anti-bacterial,virucidal and eliminates odors (it is biodegrable) it is made by the Clean Control Corp. and their # is 800-841-3904. Having 6 cats and 3 dogs....we have given it quite a test! Good luck!
From: "RONALD CAMPBELL" [e-mail]
Information from a reader:
PLEASE ... don't let antifreeze leak from their car if their cats run wild, or even if there are stray cats running around the neighborhood. Granted stray cats can be a pain in the butt sometimes, and I'm sure we stray humans can be as well, but no animal deserves to suffer a slow and painful death like antifreeze would cause them. This would be greatly appreciated if you would do this for me and it help save some kitties in the world.
Thanks in advance,
Jennifer MP Porter-Hawn
can you tell me why a cat will stand and lift it paws up in down in one place on your body. Almost like marching in place.
This behavior in cats is left over from kittenhood, when they kneaded their mother's belly to help the milk flow. Some cats will actually knead and drool when they are petted. The kneading or marching means that the cat is happy.
The two most common problems with cats are aggression, and refusing to use the litter box. Both of these problems are usually caused by social conflict among cats. To have the fewest problems, have only one cat at a time. The more cats you introduce into a house, the more likely you are to have difficulties with the cats.
If you have a cat and want to have another cat, it will be easiest to introduce a female kitten. An elderly cat that is alone, however, should not be bothered with another cat. Let it rest in peace. Bringing a new cat into a household is always very stressful for all the cats concerned.
Unlike humans and dogs, cats do not suffer a lot from loneliness. It is a mistake to project our social feelings onto our cats. Cats are social to a degree, but they are far more concerned with territorial issues than we can even imagine.
Purring: To purr, cats use extra tissue in the larynx (voice box). This tiuue vibrates when they purr.

Some biological facts


Cats have 30 vertebrae, which is 5 more than humans.

Cats have 230 bones, 24 more than humans.

Cats have the largest eyes of any mammal (in relation to body size)

Cats can't see in total darkness, but their 'night vision' is excellent. Their eyes have a reflective layer (tapetum) which serves to enhance the light that reaches the retina.

A cats field of vision is about 185 degrees.

Cats has approximately 60 to 80 million olfactory cells; a human has between 5 and 20 million.

Normal pulse for cats is between 110-170 beats per minute (check for pulse on the inside of the back thigh, where the leg joins the body).


Cats take between 20-40 breaths per minute.

A cat's normal body temperature is 102 degrees F.

A domestic cat can run at speeds of about 31 miles per hour.

Cats have extremely sensitive nervous systems.

A cat is able to jump 5 times as high as its height.

Every cat's nose pad is unique, and no two nose prints are the same.

Cats are the only animals that purr. They purr at about 26 cycles per second.

Cats respond better to women than to men, probably due to the fact that women's voices have a higher pitch.

Purring does not always mean that a cat is happy; some cats will purr loudly when they are scared or hurt.

A litter of kittens is a kindle.

some more facts

People who are allergic to cats are actually allergic to their saliva or their dander (regular bathing can help with the allergies).

It has been scientifically proven that stroking a cat can lower one's blood pressure.

In ancient Egypt, killing a cat was a crime punishable by death.

The average cat can be expected to live for an average of 15 to 16 years.

To determine how old your cat is in human years start with 20 years for your cat's first year, then add 4 human years for each cat year after that. For example, my 4 year old cat is equivalent to a 32 year old human.



Cats are the 'sleepiest' of all mammals. Most cats will sleep for about 16 hours a day. (I wouldn't mind that!)

If your cat rolls over on his back to expose his belly, he/she trusts you.

When your cats rubs up against you, you are being marked with his/her scent.

When your cat pushes his/her face against your head, it's a sign of affection.


Sometimes it can be hard to figure out if your cats are playing or fighting. Here are a few things to remember:
Playing is fairly quiet compared to fighting. Sometimes cats may hiss or make other sounds during play, but there is usually no loud wailing and howling.
There is rarely any injury in play (or if there is an injury, it's a minor one). When fighting, one or both cats usually ends up with an not-so-minor injury.
If one or both cats seem to avoid each other for a while after the 'event', it was most likely a fight. With play, cats aren't afraid of each other after it's over.
When cats play, they usually take turns in the offensive and defensive roles; when fighting, the roles don't shift.
Cats that play together more often that fight together will show friendly behaviours (like sleeping close to one another).
Scratching is one behaviour that causes many cat owners some grief. Scratching serves several functions for the cat, like claw maintenance, stretching muscles and tendons, and marking territory. Without declawing the cat, it's very hard to stop a cat from scratching. The easiest thing to do is to encourage the cat to only scratch certain items. It's important to start this early because cats will develop favourite scratching places. From day one, go around the house and make all the potential scratching places 'un-appealing' (covering furniture in plastic, using double sided tape or aluminum foil), but make sure to leave a few objects around that the cats are allowed to scratch. Cats have personal preferences for the types of objects they'll scratch, so try to have a variety. If your cat doesn't have much interest in the objects you've left for him, try putting catnip on them..you can either rub actually catnip on the object or spray it with a catnip spray. Adding a toy to a scratching post can also create interest. One thing not to do is take the cat and forcefully move its paws along the post. The cat will not like this and won't associate its natural scratching habits with the post.

All cats will misbehave at some point, but punishing them must be done in a way to stop the behaviour, not cause more problems. Punishments like hitting, slapping, and shaking will not break a habit and it's cruel. For any punishment to be effective, it's got to occur while the cat is in the act. A delay, even of a few seconds, will render the punishment ineffective.

There are a few things you can do to stop problem behaviour. Try a water pistol. The cat will become afraid of the pistol but not you, which is what you want. Another good trick is to shake a can filled with coins, marbles or anything else that will make noise.

Consistency is important when disciplining your cat. A common mistake people make is to play roughly with their cat one day, but get angry when the cat tries to do the same thing the next day. Cats will learn best with consistent rules and enforcement.



Myth: Feed your cat as much as she likes; cats have a natural appetite control.
Fact: Over feeding your cat can cause it to be overweight, which can shorten its life span.
Myth: Cats that are spayed or neutered automatically gain weight.
Fact: Cats gain weight from eating too much, not exercising enough or both.

Myth: Cats should drink milk everyday.
Fact: While most cats do like milk, they don't need it if they're properly nourished. Some cats can be lactose intolerant and milk will cause them problems. If you feed your cats milk at all, make sure it's in small amounts, infrequently.

Myth: Cats always land on their feet.
Fact: Cats may instinctively fall feet first, but they can also receive broken bones. Make sure to secure any windows or balconies to prevent a fall.

Myth: Indoor cats cannot get diseases.
Fact: Cats can be exposed to organisms that are brought into the house (in the air, on people's shoes, clothing, etc.). Get your cats vaccinated even if they remain indoors.

Myth: Pregnant women should not own cats.
Fact: Cats can be infected with a disease (toxoplasmosis) which can be spread to humans through litter boxes. This disease can cause problems to unborn babies. This can be controlled if the mother-to-be avoids contact with the litter box. (It should be noted that this disease can also be passed through the handling of raw meat, so litter boxes are not the only thing pregnant women should be weary of)


I have tried to make all these facts as accurate as possible, although I have found different views on some of these topics. If you know that something I've included is wrong, please let me know!
