http://www.petsgroomingtips.com/ You spend hours with them every day. They’re adorable, cuddly, funny, soft. At times they can be infuriating, but you love them anyway. Every feline has peculiarities and idiosyncrasies, but domestic cats also have a lot in common… and some of these generalities, you might not be aware of.

1. Need To Know About CATS

2. The question of whether or not a cat's love is real might seem ridiculous to
those who do not own cats. Dogs might claim the title of man's best friend,
but everyone who has lived with cats knows they're simply too awesome to
want to be friends with. Some might argue, however, that those who own
cats apply human characteristics to non human entities. Well, those who
argue that all the animals take care of their young ones, just because of
their instinct, have obviously not spent time with a cat.

3. Smelling
A cat relies on its sense of smell to establish its territory,
and to know if food's safe to eat. A cat's nose has almost
200 million nerve cells, making its sense of smell fourteen
times more sensitive than that of a human. Astonishingly,
a cat can remember a certain smell for the rest of its life.

4. Hearing
Cats are known for having astounding senses. A cat's outer ear flap takes in sound
from every direction, which then goes down their ear canals to the eardrum. After
the sound vibrates on eardrum, the middle ear changes the vibration to sound
waves & sends them to the cat's cochlea and finally the brain. A cat can hear from
twenty hertz up to approx. 65,000 hrtz. Since a cat responds more readily to a high
pitch than a low pitch, this might be the reason a cat seems to like a woman better
with a high pitched voice. The ears are also assist cats in balance. This is the main
reason why cats normally land on their feet when falling.

5. Tasting
Although a cat only has 475 taste buds, while humans
have 9,000, it has unique papillae to make up for it. Its
tongue is covered with numerous small projections that
hook downwards, giving it a rough, sand-papery feel.
The papilla helps them scrape meat off bones and hold
their prey. Cats also have problems tasting salty and
sweet food since their taste receptors favor high-fat and
high-protein tastes.

6. Seeing
The feline eye structure has the cornea, the lens, the retina, the iris, and the
tapetum lucidum. The tapetum lucidum is a layer of mirror-like cells that reflect
small amount of light, helping a cat to see. This is why a cat only needs 1/6 of the
light that a person needs so as to see clearly. Nonetheless, cats cannot see in total
darkness. They also have a third eyelid known as the haw to protect their eyes. A
cat's pupil is elliptical to help control the quantity of light that enters. In semi-
darkness, their pupils dilate and become almost flawlessly round. A cat's pupil can
dilate 3 times more than that of a human being.

7. Behavior
Free-ranging cats are lively both day and night, though
they tend to be more active at night. The timing of a cats'
movement is quite flexible, meaning that house cats can
be more active early in the morning and late in the
evening (crepuscular behavior). This is due to greater
human activity that occurs at these times.

8. Feeling
Cats have an average of twenty four whiskers on their face; these
hairs very thick and are rooted three times deeper. Whiskers are
very sensitive to detect slightest changes in air current. They are also
used to see if a cat can fit through a gap. Not only are the whiskers
all over a cat's face, but they are also on the back of its front legs.
Whiskers are replaced whenever they fall off. A cat's fur has unique
sensitive nerve ending that detect a slight touch. Their paws are also
very sensitive to touch.

9. Breeding
Under controlled breeding, cats are easily bred and shown
as registered pets, a hobby called cat fancy. Failure to
control their breeding by neutering has led to large
numbers of feral cats. This has led to extinction of
countless bird species.

10. Communication
Cat communication has many varieties of vocalizations. They consist
of mewing, purring, hissing, growling, trilling and grunting. Cats
have cat pheromones & number of specific body languages as well.

11. Adaptability
Like other felids, cats have a similar anatomy. They are very
strong with quick reflexes, flexible bodies, sharp retractable
claws, and very sharp teeth that are adapted to killing small
prey like mice.
