50 Fascinating Facts About Cats
Happy Respect Your Cat Day! (Not that they'd have it any other way.) If you want to celebrate Felis silvestris in all its furry glory, try sharing some of these 50 bits of cat trivia.
- Cats spend around 30 to 50 percent of their day groomingthemselves. This behavior serves several purposes: It helps cats tone down their scent so they can avoid predators, it cools them down, it promotes blood flow, and it distributes natural oils evenly around their coat, allowing them to stay warm and dry. Grooming also serves as a sign of affection between two cats, and it’s thought that saliva contains enzymes that serve as a natural antibiotic for wounds.
- Just because a cat is purring doesn’t mean the cat is happy. Cats often make the sound when they’re content, but they also purr when they’re sick, stressed, hurt, or giving birth.
