- Nose-to-nose greetings between cats are unusual, as it puts both in a vulnerable position. However, cats who know each other well but have been apart for a while feel safe enough to do this to confirm visual recognition and gain information about how the other cat is, where he has been and what he has been doing.
- Purring usually indicates contentment, however, a deep purr can also indicate pain. If you know your cat well you will be able to tell the difference in his demeanor.
- Cats start to purr at one week old and can do so continually as they inhale and exhale.
- Young cats purr in a monotone, while older ones do so in two to three resonant notes.
- Scientist still do not know exactly how the purring sound is made, although some believe that it originates in the cardiovascular system rather than the throat.
- Cats appear to retain their kitten vocal signals to communicate with their owners, but they use and adult repertoire of sound with other cats.
- Like dogs, cats can also get sick or die from eating chocolate.
- Cats like to nap rather than sleep but if relaxed enough to enter a deeper sleep, they produce the same brain wave patterns that we do when we dream.
- Cats blink and narrow their eyes when they accidentally make eye contact. To make friends with an unfamiliar cat, blink and look away when you catch his eyes
- A cat’s pulse is between 160-240 beats per minute, depending on the age of the cat (the younger he is, the faster the heartbeat.)
- Cats cannot understand punishment as humans do, they must be praised and rewarded for desired behavior instead.
- Giving your cat a strip of raw meat everyday to chew on will keep his gums and teeth in good condition. Suitable meats include poultry, rabbit, or beef that has been deboned.
- If your cat appears to be able to tolerate heat very well this is because the ancestors of cats were originally desert-living animals.
