Mes has been thinking about us cats and mes come up with some great stuff!!!
The QUESTION is at the top of the picture and the answer is after
(gosh mes misses the slideshow widget in Wordpress)
Cats rule, but not by much! There are about 105.6 million cats compared to about 91.3 million dogs in the US and Canada.
Us cats live about 14-16 years so plan on taking care of us for a LONG time!
Us cats live about 14-16 years so plan on taking care of us for a LONG time!
Us cats has floating collar bones, that means our heads is about the largest part of our bodies (though our tummies can get bigger). So, if our head fits through a tight space, usually the rest of us will too!! Ask Mommy about the sun roof in the car.....
b-810 years!
Wes catnaps about 12 to 16 hours a day! Like peoples we has 3 different types of sleep and during REM sleep, yous can see our whiskers twitch, or ears and eyes and legs move!!!!
Like dogs, chocolate is toxic to us cats!!!
It can cause heart problems, increase blood pressure, and cause seizures!
Mes sticking to cat treats (right now mt purrsonal favorite is freeze dried salmon!)
Just like peoples and dogs and horses, wes can bes lefties or righties (mes a rightie)
Some research peoples watched us and which paw wes reached for our food (or toys) with!
About half (50%) reached with their right, 40% with their left and 10% is anbidexterous!!!
The LAST Question!!!
Nope! Meowing is what we use to talks to humans. We talks to each other with purrs, hisses, screeches and shrieking!!! We also use body language, and sent things and wes even been known to bes like our wild relatives and scratch wood (Mes prefers sofas.....)
And those are my thoughts for the day. Does yous have a cat fact mes did not talks about that yous would like to share? Inquiring minds like to knows!!!

Mommy has mad a zillion pin cushions (ahem...only 5).
This one is supposed to bes of me!
Hey Nellie,We think you about covered them all in our kitty minds!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute pincushion, but why would anyone want to put pins in you??
I'm glad you set humans straight on some of this, Nellie! BTW, my human is right handed, so I do high fives with my right paw!
ReplyDeleteExcellent information, Nellie! Though the mom swears we sleep way more than 12-16 hours a day. :)
ReplyDeleteSome very good stuff, Queen Nellie. Our mom has a particular fascination with body language - and especially tail language.
ReplyDeleteThat pin cushion is adorable just like you. Your Mom is very talented. Those are great kitty facts. XO
ReplyDeleteDearest Nellie! YAY FOR CATS! Some great facts about us mysterious kitties but of course we do like to keep some stuff secret...tee hee. Mom and I think your Mommy's pincushions are TOTALLY fabulous. She is so very clever - I know that you are her inspiration always - that pincushion of "you" is precious!!!!!

ReplyDeleteI like these cat factoids. Or catoids.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to treats, Mickey Mouser is right pawed and Rufus the Red uses both. At the same time.

The pin cushion is very nearly as adorable as you, Nellie. My mum thinks I sleep for 23 1/2 hours a day but she always exaggerates.
ReplyDeleteWe love all these catoids!! And the pin cushion is adorable!!! My auntie says cats of different color smell differently which is why if you want to add a new cat to your household you should pick one of the same color as the one already living there. I don't know about that. I'm the only orange one in my house and I tend to get along with everyone else - who is black, black and white, or grey and white. Love you! Toby
ReplyDeleteYou are such a wise kitty, Nellie! And that pincushion is absolutely precious!
ReplyDeleteNellie, even though the stats are close, cats are the winner! Just like in politics ;-)
ReplyDeleteThose are great facts Nellie! Your mini-me pin cushion is adorable. Hope your Mama is well and enjoying the sun :)
ReplyDeletethe critters in the cottage xo
Nellie, those are some mighty good facts. We didn't know about the lefty, righty deal so now the Mom is going to watch all of us. That in cushion is terrific. Also, I don't think there should be a contest between cats and dogs, they are both terrific.
ReplyDeleteNellie what a fun fun fact feast.
ReplyDeleteI'm a righty when I'm trying to get my kibble from the back of my dish and a left when mom is carrying me...I like to touch her face
Hugs madi your bfff
