When I had cancer, my sweet boy Lux, was constantly coming up and smelling my breath. Followed by a paw on my cheek. Usually several times he would pat my cheek. He was very gentle, for that mother he still is very gentle in the present tense.
They say a cat can smell cancer before a person even finds out they have cancer.
Hope you are cancer free now & stay cancer free. God bless
That is so sweet...hope you are cancer free now!
I ADORE cats! I have had them all of my life and they simply make me a happier person.
Since cats sense of smell is so impressive, can they be trained for search and rescue? Imagine being save by Fluffy if your house collapses or your child wanders off.
I have had cats for most of my 67 years. Many of my cats meowed at each other, especially if the meowing cat is looking for their cat playmate.
So happy to hear a validation on the number of sounds a cat can make. My cat tried to mimic what I say and uses his different tones until he gets it right. Three or four cat “words” is the most he can say at one time and when asked what he is saying ( because of course a lot of it just sound like gibberish) he tries to repeat it exactly as he did the first time. This s a very informative video, thank you.
Most of the facts I already knew.
My male cat had (he is no longer alive) a very strong preference to use his left paw. If the kibble feeder thing clogged it was his left he would use to rake some out to get it going again. He would also use it to get a hold of the bottom of kitchen cabinet doors to open them
"meow" wasn't the only "cat word" he would use to talk to a human. He would also say something like "murrat" as a signal for I am over here.
My sweet kitty, Beatle, had an impressive vocabulary. He got a broken leg when he was still a kitten and started speaking English. He reduced his English when we got dogs, but spoke his entire life. It’s pretty awesome when your kitty calls you mother so clearly, there’s a person on the other end of the phone thinks your child needs you lol.
Really? That is soooooo aweeeesome. Please, I'd like to hear more.
My cat says Hello
@@successbaniya7784
@@successbaniya7784I was told by a vet cats don't understand what u r saying. Although I think they know. By sound of your voice.
That was fascinating. I was a dog man until Billy, Bandit and Pancake came into our lives. Now, I love them
Have you seen Big Billy on CZcams?
A group of cats is also called a glare and a group of kittens is called a kindle.
Correct! 😺❤
Also, male cats are called toms and female cats are called queens ♥
I thought a group of kittens was a “kaboodle!” Hahaha!
@@newgmodo5609 it should be!
A group of baboons is called a congress true fact
My cats can hear through walls and closed doors when I silently pick a food pouch. The also have telepathy
Lol mine also have excellent hearing.. 😄
I'm going to test the telepathy. That's cool!
Cats have incredible hearing!!!!! My cat can hear things {mice, birds, other cats} outside in the yard over 30 feet from the house while laying on my chest purring while I pet her...... I never realized until she jumped up and took off through her door to chase the cat away and it was literally on the other side of the car walking in the grass well over 30 feet away!!!!!!
Incredible hearing!!!!!!!!!
I greet her from down the driveway and she hears me just fine and greets me at the door or comes running out of her door to roll around and say hello
@@KravMike08 when I used to live in a third floor apartment; my cat would be at the door when I parked downstairs. I know this because I would check the security camera from my car and there she would run to the door! She didn’t have access to the balcony while I was out.
@@MC-gt6yp WOW. She knows the sound of your car!¡!¡ From 3 floors up!!!¡¡¡!!!
My cat has an extensive human speech copying vocabulary. Love her to bits.
The one that surprised me the most is the floating collarbones! My kitty is going to wonder what I'm doing next time I pet him hehe (He doesn't mind, he lets me massage him all the time 😻)
Other thing that surprised me was ALL the locations of sweat areas. I knew about the paws, not about a few of the other places.
They are such marvelous little lovable mysteries! 🥰 Thank you for sharing 😺
Awwwww, lovable mysteries :) i like that :)
Cats can have canned milk,
My male cat is left pawed
Is that why cat paws are always warm?
@@calliethecat7408 I'm pretty sure, I'm not a veterinarian though. I imagine that's where the closest skin to skin contact we have with them is so we feel it more from their paws?
I had no idea that Vermont people really love cats!
I really enjoyed listening to these cat comments. I am a cat lover since childhood and have had many feline friends in my life! Thank U.
I was surprised to learn,that cats can have more than one male!!😂❤
Well, I most certainly have a clowder of cats then!!!! LOL. While I did know most of these facts, the ones I did not know was that they sweat through their paws, that they can drink salt water, and that Vermont has the most cat owners!! I guess I would get along really well in Vermont! 😁😻🐈❤
I have a clowder of four. I have a rescued mom cat and two of her four kittens. My granddaughter has one of the females and my oldest daughter’s friend adopted the second male for her two daughters. At the time they lived in West Virginia, but have since moved to Texas. I kept one female and one male, and the mom. The male cat has epilepsy and some other health problems so I wanted to keep him myself. The little female was bonded to the male and he to her, so I kept both. The mom is just such a sweetheart and beloved by my 92 year old mother. I promised to always keep her safe and loved, and I will.
Hello Sharon how are you doing today.
I have been a cat lover/owner for ~75 years. I didn't know until I watched this video that a litter of kittens could have multiple fathers! What I have learned by watching my feral cats is that the male seems to know which kittens are his!
Yes, I have a clowder consisting of 18 cats. Over time, we have had the pleasure of 27 indoor rescued cats and 9 barn cats. All well fed, spayed/neutered.
Wow! Good job!
But does each one get lots of daily attention?
Wonderful. I adore cats but am in a care place who won’t allow one. Understandable I guess as if everyone wanted a pet it’d be rather a shambles. It does make me sad as I really do love cats! 😢
you're an angel
😻 Wow, that sounds like a happy home! 🐾
I've had cats all my life, so I knew every fact here except the lack of sweet sensing taste buds and the unique nose print - so thanks for the knowledge 🙂
The very last one was the most surprising to me! I didn't know cats can have multiple mates & have different kittens with different fathers! Good thing us humans don't have that! 😂🐾🐈
The only reason I knew this was because a member of my family was a Himalayan breeder. I always thought it was fascinating
Wow! I consider myself a cat expert and there were a few facts here that I didn't know. Thank you for your content.
P.s. the impressive cat hearing fact only proves that my cat can definitely hear me.... he's just choosing to ignore me. What a little bastard 🤣
My kitty is female but she seems to be left pawed. She always reaches out first with that paw begging for pets and her latest habit is to scoop water out of the bowl with her left paw to lick it off the floor.
Also, I totally knew the dream thing because she kicks me in her sleep lol. I hope she's never having nightmares, that's a sad thought.
Nightmares aren't very common for most people so maybe not for cats either! She is probably just chasing dream mice.
Hello Michelle how are you doing today.
My cat has nightmares. Not all the time though.
@@Catlily5 hi
@@kellythomas5392 You must have a boring life to tell every woman on the comments, "hi".
My boy cat isn’t that chatty but the Persian girl I had years ago was so very chatty. We would literally have conversations and they felt meaningful for both of us Im certain. Obviously meaning of words not necessarily understood by cat but cats have different sounds for different feeling and wishes. I also believe my boy cat chats more to me than my son because he knows I enjoy it and it gets a response…..he is a clever cat. Although he tends to express himself physically by batting his paw firmly but without claws on top of my hand to indicate he wants something usually to be petted.
This video was very interesting. I have had cats almost all of my 60 year life. Some of the info I knew about but your explanations were spot on. Thanks for the “cat tales”.
I was amazed that I was right about my fur baby having dreams and nightmares because they sleep with me and they jump, jerk and wake up disoriented, just as I do when I have a bad dream or nightmare. I love my fur babies!
My husband and I have 11 rescue furbabies. He always teases me calling our furbabies my coven. Now I know it's called a crowder. Thank you for clearing that up. Love y'all's videos!!!
Hello Sandy how are you doing today.
@@kellythomas5392 good.
@@sandysipocz1765 Am from Arizona Tucson, where are you from?
"Clowder". Not "crowder".
@@randallulrich excuse me. My bad. I had stutter finger that day.
I found that a cat's sense of smell is better than a dog's sense of smell, an amazing fact.
I watched this documentary once that itemised all the points proving that cats are the most efficient hunters in the world. It was fascinating.
Also, regarding the point about cats only eating around 30% of their kills: the ancient Egyptians took full advantage of this instinct when they adopted cats as working livestock. Every household had a cat that would hunt for the family - not only to add to family meals but it would also serve dual purpose of controlling pests to crops. They then went on to deify cats.
Ancient Egyptians are not credited as being the first to domesticate cats but they appear to have done it most successfully (and I'm sure the cats thought so too 😉)
Didn't know: Collar bone, salt water, cat's focus narrowly, mixed litters. Good stuff, and I like the format and lack of overbearing drama, music, or embellishment. So many cat videos are insultingly infantile. This is a nice happy medium between a documentary style and a pop culture style.
I learned about cats’ Jacobson organ and them “doing Flehmen” as a young girl and it always fascinated me.
Whenever I see my kitties doing this and I say “aww, you doing flehmen? 😂
6:34 I always thought the Jacobson's Organ was unique to snakes that flick out their tongue to smell their environment. I never knew that cats have one as well. No matter how old you get, you are never too old to learn something. Now every time I see my cat do the pant smell thing I am going to think he's doing the "snake".
Yes I was unaware of it till my latest boy cat he makes an odd noise occasionally especially after having anti flea medication on back of his neck. I was concerned about this so told vet and he explained all about it. Apparently vet claimed that my cat didnt like smell of product……can’t say I blame him probably rather noxious stuff….but smell fades quickly enough after day or so. So stops bothering cat. Have you ever noticed your cat chirrup when they see a bird outside thats amusing and seems to suggest they very excited and in hunting mode 😊
Love this one, another excellent presentation regarding cat fact. Had no idea we share 90% DNA, very cool indeed! Thank you for this video, friends!
almost every living thing on this planet has about 80-99% the SAME dna
@@bishplis7226 Yep ! Humans and Chimps share 98% common DNA. But that is only 20% or so of the total DNA relevant to any particular species. The vast majority of DNA is irrelevant and expressed as randomness. ( location of freckles and so on ) fascinating to me
Thank you @bishplis7226 and @sciencedavedunning3415 for commenting actual facts.
My neighbours have a cat that is half a wild african breed and she has tiger stripes. Shes the size of a regular house cat but a lot narrower and can easily clear a 2m high fence in one jump. She also likes to follow the neighbors around when they take their dogs for a walk.
Referring to number 24 about cats killing & eating prey, we've noticed that one of our cats seems to want to bring his prey to us. Often still alive. It appears to be a gift for us, or possibly showing us (with pride) what a great hunter he is. This has occasionally been a problem where a mouse that has been brought home has escaped and taken up residence in the house. Further, this practice of bringing home prey seems to have dropped off somewhat once he was neutered.
I can't believe I am spending the entire day watching cat videos.
I'm already into my second hour.
Have had several cats during my life, including a beautiful Maine coon rescue named Zoe, who had little to no interest in catnip. However, I have discovered that all of the cats who didn’t care for catnip DID go crazy over valerian. (I have fibromyalgia and use it for muscle spasms) I buy large bottles of it, and keep the empties.then I stuff a few kitty toys in along with some capsules and the cotton batting from the next bottle. It smells like old gym socks, but they go nuts over it.
I have heard cats don't like sweet, or don't taste it, but I still had a cat who loved the filling in Twinkies and I think that is pretty much just sugar. When he saw I had one, he'd follow me around. I gave him a little lick, thinking he'd hate it. He also ate a piece of hard licorice once which I didn't expect, but I think it was because I was eating them and he figured he wanted it too. He did not eat a second piece.
I've had a couple cats that have asked for chocolate candy bars and even oreo cookie parts (no filling) they bug me for multiple things that I eat that's sweet and they know exactly when I'm getting them and teleport they're way into the room and are quite pushy about getting some until I share or it's gone
Everyone I know thinks I'm crazy talking about those front paw whiskers! In my house they are called "braking whiskers" because the whiskers frequently appear while performing a braking maneuver. Some cats have them, some cats don't, but I feel totally redeemed having these whiskers discussed on your video!
I knew most, but not all of these. Great video. I wanted to mention that my cats chirp at each other, but don't meow. The chirp is also like "mrrrp", and is very cute.
I found every one of those facts both fascinating and useful in knowing my kitty so much better, thank you
😺😇
I have a clowder of cats. They are all very sweet. I knew most of the facts. I had heard the whiskers on legs is to feel grass. My sister-in-law is from Vermont and has a clowder of cats, too.
Bonus cat fact: a cat uses over 30 muscles to move its ears, which enables them to move independently.
Don`t forget all the muscles to move the eye brows and whiskers that they use as radar, check it out next time their sniffing you over their nose never touches you but then does.
All cats have the instinct to hunt and catch prey. But not all cats equate what they catch as food. That's something their momma has to teach them. And that's something my vet explained to me 40 years ago.
My Bandit is definitely a righty! He lays down in front of his food bowl & using his right paw, scoops the kibbles up outta the bowl to eat....he usually scoops a couple at a time, so they usually fall on the floor n he'll eat them normally from there, but sometimes he gets lucky with a good grip on a piece and is able to get it in his mouth without it falling.
Thank you!
Hello Robbie how are you doing today.
Only fact I didn't know was the 90.2 DNA ONE. Hubby and I have a clower plus one. When we get a new kitten ( only way we can bring a new cat PEACEFULLY into the group). They meow at us for a while but soon stop. They only time they meow at us is when they accidently get locked out side. In winter when it gets COLD outside we close the cat door in the evening through the night. They will come to the living room window (my spot) or the dining room (hubby's spot) and meow to get our attention. They will meow at friends who come over to visit.Other than that our cats are silent. Had a few different veterinarians through the years tells us that our cats think of us as part of their 'CAT' family and that is why they don't meow at us. All our cats know their names. Lived in Riverside CA years ago. Paint store on one side, mortuary on the other, and big fenced in open lot behind all 3 places. One night our cat Moonlight didn't come home . Not the next day either. So the second night went out calling for her. Figure she must have run into trouble in the empty lot. She answered when her name was called, I could hear her VERY faintly. Tracked her down to the mortuary she was up under the roof. There was an air vent under an eave. Hubby used a hammer and undid it got her out and put it back. There had been a hole in the roof because they were having some work done. They had finished the day before and closed it up. We figured she had been in there when they came and hid in a corner from them. Then once the work was done she had no way to get out. When we got our 1 st cat I told hubby she was going to learn her name I wasn't t going to call "here kitty kitty". He thought I was crazy, didn't think it would be possible. Moonlight was the ONLY ONE who answered when I said her name. Ever since then he has thought it an excellent idea.
the hearing abilities really got to me - no wonder they’re so skittish. and that’s why sudden noises affect them so much. wow ! 🐈🐾🐈⬛🌷🌱
I`m pretty sure they can hear spiders walking.
@@gunfisher4661 😸
Had no idea that they couldn't taste sweets, the paws also didn't know, thanks for the update you people are awesome, did know about milk, my 🐈 s don't meow much just my baby rescue kitten ( not much)new things to learn again thanks

I think it's fascinating that cats meow for humans! 🐈 Also, I have noticed that my female cat tends to reach out with her left paw.
Interesting video, some I knew some I didn't. The fact we share DNA was surprising. ❤
This was an excellent video. I have had cats my whole adult life and never knew a bunch of these. Thank you!
Multiple baby daddies for the same pregnancy was a surprise to me. I love my kitties more than my humans
I'm with you on this!! I very much prefer animals to people!!
I was the same, until I had my own clowder of little ones. Lady next door to me has no kids and 4 cats... she's a functioning alcoholic. Empty nest syndrome gone awry 🤫
Yeah, that is one of the few facts that i already knew about. But, is one of the facts that I find quite fascinating. I love how a pregnant female kitty with seven kittens in her uterus can have four of five, or even more Tom cats as the sperm donors...
I've been accused of that, too!
Not going to research it, but given that sperm lives a few days I wouldn't be surprised if a human female has at some point had fraternal twins with two different fathers.
Just figured out (duh) why my cat snuggles in my arms with his head in the way of my computer screen. He's nearsighted and wanted the best view of your video! We both loved it!
Our four cats do talk to eachother with their voices. As a matter of fact, our male cat Feliĉo is talking to our other cats constantly. Also our Maine Coon lady Aminda loves chatting with both and our other cats. Our eldest cat White Jade yells to us, humans, and to our other cats. Even our black and white cat Majo likes to talk and he also sings. Feliĉo jodles.
My household is one cat shy of a clowder. Most interesting 🤔 to me was that cats have whiskers on their paws. Very interesting stuff 👌. 🤔🐈⬛🐈
"One cat short of a clowder". Sounds like a creative insult 😅
It's more than just their front paws that have whiskers. I have a tuxedo kitty named Spunky, and most of his sides and middle are covered with the black coat I can see white hairs that stick out on his back legs and a few on his sides. I've tried gently poking them and his reaction is immediate. he turns to look at what just poked him, vs when I gently poke the rest of his fur he doesn't react as quickly if at all. It's actually kind of cool.
My boy is definitely a lefty! Thank you for explaining why my boy can't see the treats I lay in front of him. I tap on the floor so he knows where his treats are located.
Both our girls are definitely right-pawed. Swatting at the treat sticks makes it rather too easy to tell 😂
I was aware of all of these tidbits. We had 3 indoor cats up until 3 weeks ago, when our middle boy passed from undiagnosed kidney disease. He was a righty. Our geriatric boy is definitely a southpaw. 😉 The youngster deals with my roommate, so I’ve never noticed his “pawedness”.
Hello Patricia how are you doing today.
Even about what they dream about? EXTRAORDINARY!
Being a cat fancier, I already knew most of this about cats. I did not know that 3 or more cats was a clowder, so I have a clowder. I have 3 cats. I knew about the Jacobson organ but didn't know about their DNA being similar to humans. As you've probably guessed already, I subscribe to lots of You Tube channels that tell me lots of things about my clowder. This is why I subscribe to Purring Journal.
None of this changes or alters my love of cats....and dogs....and all of God's creatures that r gifts to us.the
I enjoyed this video, #23 especially, I was watching my tabby bob sleeping and I knew he was dreaming, though he was only flexing a toe on his front paw, cat dexterity is amazing 🐈💞
Thank you for this video, of people pay close attention, I mean ACTUALLY LISTEN to your cats, they are constantly trying to tell you very specific information!!!! It's not too hard to see what that is either, just have to be patient and observant!!!! Something that too many people lack these days!!!!!
I had one talking a lot this morning, while I was busy, and I am sure he was trying to tell me that the food bowls were empty.
Yep, those different vocalizations are there if you listen. Over the years I think I've gotten pretty good at "understanding Cat".
Yes! My cat has different meows for different things that he wants lol
My cat (female) is so left pawed! I taught her High 5 and she always uses her left. When she plays with puzzles or toys, left paw.
I'm impressed with this video because I thought I had read everything there was to read about cats. The salt water one was new to me. I'm also naughty and allow my cat to drink milk. Not a lot. But pretty much when I open the frigde, she comes running and chatting.
OMG I always wanted to know what those longhairs/whiskers near my cat's paws were. Thanks!
More than one father in a litter. WoW. That explains why my Persian, (a brown tabby persian) was that color. The rest of the litter he came from was white. Because he was a brown tabby persian, the breeder priced him several hundred dollars more. I didn't care. He's the one I wanted. He was so smart and funny. He loved me and was so affectionate. I told him one day when he was coming into the house, "No more outside in the night. You have to be home by five o'clock." Do you know he was always home by 5 or before? And he doesn't wear a watch! How does he know? He passed away and I was devestated.
Cat heart rate - just 2 days ago I was listening to my cat's heartbeat as he lay on my bed & I could hear the beat through my pillow !
My moggy is a neutered male and definitely left-handed. He doesn't appear to be lactose intolerant and insists on licking the remaining smears of milk and yoghurt out of my cereal bowl. He's nearly 12 now but used to be able to jump up to the top of our back gate, which is six feet high.
I have a cat that loves milk, so we switched to lactose free milk, so that we can give her a little treat once in a while. 😻
@@Terri_MacKay I have to share my "breakfast milk" with my husband's cat , 3 of mine, and my 2 Yorkies. Lol! Basically that means I have to use a lot more milk on my cereal than is really necessary. There is a strict order to who goes when. I love my plain bran cereal with just a little sugar and I think a little bran in their diet is good. Just not much or it might upset their stomach. The rest of my pack/pride have no interest in it.
@@mickieminton6940 I do the same. 😂 I use almond milk on my cereal, and one of the cats loves it, so I always have to make sure I pour in a little extra so that Pufnstuf can have his share. 😻
We have multiple cats but besides Pufnstuf, and Bella who we get the lactose free milk for, none of the other cats have any interest in milk at all. They do, however have their own favourite "people" foods. Elmo goes crazy for olives...when we get pizza, I have to let him "steal" the olives off one of my slices. Bandit loves yoghurt...he doesn't want it on a spoon or in a bowl, he has to have his own little pot of yoghurt, just like mine. Dot loves salad greens, any greens really...when I make a salad, she has to have her own bowl of greens. She'll even eat the tops of carrots. The way that other cats run into the kitchen when they hear the treat bag...that's how she runs in when she hears the bag or container of salad greens being opened.
And, yes...non-cat people think I'm crazy for catering to my cats like I do. But they're all rescues, and they can have whatever makes them happy. 😻
@@Terri_MacKay I have two of my girls will sit and stare at me while I am eating yogurt, then sometimes argue over who gets the carton first. After the girls get most of what is left, several of the boys will swing by to be sure nothing is wasted.
I have watched a cat go from the floor to the top of a normal sized door, so over six feet in total.
The most cute animal and yet the Most Cold-blooded at the same time 😂
I've wondered about their whiskers on forelegs for a longwhile.
I didn’t know that cats hear better than dogs
Hello Elizabeth how are you doing today.
My Black Friday fits them all to a "T" , he is ambi-paw-derous, but, he has never "hissed" at anybody or anything.
You can buy lactose free milk in any store these days, because non north west European humans often can't digest milk either...
My cat, Bigs, was definitely left pawed…he was a ‘Ginger Tabby and White’ English Short-hair. Also, all the cats I had the privilege of living with used to, not only miaow at me, but also chirrup and trill when talking to me.
4:45 All cats show that histrionic expression of fear on their face when a human cuddles them like that! 😂
Thank you for all the feline information. Cats are very rad beings
Which of these cat facts did you find the most surprising? 🐈
1. Cats sweating through their paws 🐾
2. Vermont people really love cats.
Them having a much faster heart rate than us and that they have unique nose prints 😁
That a litter of kittens can have more than one father. That’s crazy!! Imagine if humans had that ….lol
That they are near sighted.
the last one surprised me the most!
The one that was so interesting to me, was that cats have a 100 vocalizations, while dogs have only 10.
Thoroughly informative and entertaining.
I have a clouder . . . 3 brothers❣ I meant to foster them when residents at my San Diego, CA condo cornered them . . . 3 brothers and a sister. The sister passed as the result of a tumor 3 years ago. I moved to CT 13 years ago and drove them & a trailer across country. I honestly don't know I had ever gotten along without them❣😻🐾🐞
Hello Colleen how are you doing today.
Clowder!
The DNA fact surprised me. So being a Crazy Cat Lady isn’t so far off the mark after all!
I'm a certified veterinary assistant (But couldn't find a job 😞 so now I'm a security guard) so I knew all of these but one. I did not know that a cat can get pregnant with different kittens at the same time that floored me🤯
And actually make some sense now that I think about it.
What surprised the most was the genetic closeness between humans and cats.
Love ALL cat facts!🥰
When my kitty has nightmares she comes to get cuddles until she feels better.
My 15 year old cat has decided to start vocalizing a lot more. I have no idea what she is trying to tell me, but I usually meow back because I think I am being sociable. I hope that’s OK with the cat because I have no idea what I am saying to her either. I had two other cats that lived into their 20s and they rarely vocalized. This one really did not until this year and I’m still trying to understand why. It’s kind of cute except when you’re trying to sleep! Thank you for the wonderful videos. Blessings
My 14 year old started really talking when she was 12. I don’t know why. All of her routine check ups are fine. She used litterbox just fine. Doesbt vomit much. A few min ago shd was downstairs just yelling away. She lost her brother 2.5 weeks ago. A few days after he passed she was crying in middle of night 5 times. It was heartbreaking. I think she is still grieving but not sure why she really started all that talking at 12 years old. I was reading about possible dementia in cats
Sometimes increased vocalization is a sign of a thyroid problem. Have it checked out.
I have a clowder. Also while last fall every mouse they killed they ate, they killed one in my shop recently n none of them ate it. They would just take turns playing with it's corpse like some kind of horror movie villains lol
Lol :P
Oh my! 🙀😹
My dog kick in his sleep
I wonder if they think they are playing with it and don't realize they are alive or if they just kill because they want to improve their hunting skills or maybe its just instinct?
@@gingershellkittens6620 I think they are doing it for fun cuz this summer I've had multiple dead mice n shrews show up in my yard that none of my strays eat but yet they ate a baby bunny n a bird
I learned a few new things. Always a good thing. Near sightedness was a new one for me
A litter can have multiple fathers... I believe it. I've seen a cat of mine with 2 different cats before becoming pregnant and one looked alot like one cat, and another look quite a bit like the other daddy.
Or sometimes you can see a whole different range in 1 litter. Our ginger tabby had 7 kittens once - 1 grey tiger striped (our cat's stripes were swirls), 1 pale grey swirls, 1 ginger swirls, 1 black and white, 1 cream, 1 pale ginger tiger stripes, 1 black with tabby patches. And that's when I learnt about multiple sperm contributions (I think I was around 10)
I knew a clowder was for several cats but not as few as three. Guess that means I have a clowder as I have had 3 cats for some time I've always had two so they always had company, but somewhere along the way my two grew to 3 when we started having 2 dogs. The facts that surprised me were: floating collar bone, whiskers on feet, 92% DNA and nearsightedness. As the saying goes, 'you learn something new everyday'.
Hello Vickie how are you doing today.
4:44 I can do this with Houdini for sure, he'd just purr and purr.
I don't know about that cat, secretly he's like, oh please hurry up you're smushing me!
I've caught my cats sweating before, but not on a hot day - like people, they sweat when they're nervous so I usually have a handful of damp paws when we're in the exam room waiting for the vet.
I had a Clower of Cats before! I've had both my Own Clowder of 4. Plus, I also had a Clowder of around 25, some were transients! But , seemed normally the Average was around 15 to 20 that stayed in the Area. :)
I'm new to your station and I love the content. I didn't know the the last one. Can you do one on British shorthair please...mine hates being held.

@@ThePurringJournal oh great 🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🤩🤩🌹🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️💞💞💞🤴
Mine don`t like being held either but if I carry her around showing and letting her sniff things around the house she hangs in there.
Cats are from another planet.
Totally enjoyed this!
I have a clouder of cats! 14 of the furry little critters! 😂❤
My gosh. That's alot
Ummmm I knew 98% of these. And more. Guess I AM a crazy cat lady 😂
Nothing wrong with that lol
Indubitably!
I didnt know 90% of these facts and Ive had cats for 65years!
Thank you!
Loved this...very interesting.... Ty
I had to agree and laugh at the memories of a number of this facts; and you answered a couple for me,
I could never figure out how my cat always knew when I was coming home, I would vary the time, route, but there she was always sitting on the window sill, watching the direction I was coming from a good 5-600 yards away, she never missed.
1 cat I had .
in the past would fight me for the gherkin/pickle, that came in MC Donalds burgers, terrible trouble if it only had 1 slice. another cat liked cabbage, potato chips, porridge.
another cat distinctiely would call 'Mum' when he came in the cat door downstairs, (husband thought I had lost the plot MAJORLY), until he heard him do it; he would call out, I would answer and next thing he was bounding up the stairs straight to wherever I was, (and he always faultlessly came to greet me in the right room, made sure I was there, meowed a hello, then left to do whatever he wanted to do inside.
He also figured out how to lift the latch on the window to open them, usually when I was trying to keep a particular cat INSIDE for a vet visit. He was nicknamed my boyfriend, because he would always sleep next to me and occasionally stretched out his legs to push hubby away, luckily hubby didn't mind.
Can't remember the other similarities
From the first time mine saw a spool of thread she would aggressively fight me for the thread whether it was in a sewing machine or in hand other than that she is an angel.
