Amazing facts about cats
Article #2 | 03-09-22 | Sadness23You may adore your cat, but you may not realize how great she — and her species as a whole — actually is. Did you know that cats have a special organ that helps them to detect scents? Or that they invented meowing as a means of communicating solely with humans?
Facts About Cat Anatomy & Physiology
Cats are said to be the only mammals who are unable to detect sweetness.
Cats are obligate carnivores, which means they must consume animal products in order to thrive. Their taste buds may have developed to meet their nutritional requirements (or the other way around). Cats don't require carbs in their diets, thus they don't need to recognize sweet flavors.
Cats have the ability to jump up to six times their body length.
When they jump they begin in a crouching position and this allows their powerful back legs to propel them up into the air, gaining great height.
Because cats' claws all curve downward, they can't climb down trees head-on. They'll have to back down the trunk instead.
Cats have claws that resemble fish hooks, and trees provide them with natural escape routes. They'll frequently climb till they feel safe, then come to a halt and discover they've become stuck. The only safe method for them to descend without assistance is to go backwards, which they frequently refuse to do.
Though cats can notice the fast movements of their prey, it often seems to them that slowly moving objects are actually stagnant.
Though cats can notice the fast movements of their prey, it often seems to them that slow-moving objects are actually stagnant. Some cats are ambidextrous, but 40 percent are either left- or right-pawed. Cats are crepuscular, which means that they're most active at dawn and dusk.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
I believe that a major reason we love cats is because of an uncanny ability that few humans possess: they register our tactile presence in a deeply felt way. They really know how to let us in! They’re right there in the delectable moment receiving our touch.
Thank you for your time! Take care!

Interesting what you have mentioned about cats. They are not my favorite pets but I always watch videos about cats and dogs. My pet for the last 5 years is a little dog and she can't see a cat around the house because she makes them run, but she never catches them so she doesn't hurt them, she just doesn't like cats around... that's why I can't have a cat in the house.
