1. Whiskers
Cats have whiskers on their cheeks, eyebrows, and above the nose. These specialized hairs help cats sense their surroundings and navigate in the dark.
2. Jumping Skills
Cats can jump up to six times their body length. That's like a human jumping 30 feet from a standing position!
3. Purring
Cats can purr up to 30 hertz, and it's believed that purring may help with healing their own bodies and reducing stress.
4. The Right Paws
About 40-60% of cats are paw-dominant, just like humans being left or right-handed. Some lean heavily on one paw while pushing off with the other when stepping.
5. The Longest Sleepers
Cats can sleep up to 16 hours per day. This is partly due to their evolutionary background as both hunters and prey.
6. Clever Climbers
Cats can walk backward, forward, and sideways with equal ease. They have no issue scaling vertical surfaces with their claws helping them climb like tiny climbers.
