International Cat Day is on August 8, so it is time to celebrate our feline friends!
Cat fun facts:
- All kittens are born with blue eyes due to the pigment in their eyes not being fully developed. Once kittens age (around 8 weeks), their permanent true eye color shows up.
- A cat’s field of vision is 200 degrees.
- Cats only sweat in their paws.
- Cats can have allergies.
- The first cat in space was named Félicette.
- Cats’ whiskers act like a radar. When they are threatened, they push their whiskers back.
- In Egyptian culture, cats were worshipped.
- Domesticated cats can read their owners’ emotions and act as great emotional support animals.
- Cats can tell when their owners are pregnant and can even hear the heartbeat of an unborn baby.
- House cats share 95.6% of their genetics with tigers while domesticated cats share genetics of both tigers and lions.
- Cats clean themselves a lot, and this helps with their body temperature, natural oils and getting rid of parasites.
- There are about 600 million cats worldwide.
