purring, meowing & even leaping in the air.
51. A cat's jaws cannot move sideways.
52. Cats have over one hundred vocal sounds, while dogs only have about ten.
53. A cat can jump even seven times as high as it is tall.
54. A cat is pregnant for about 58-65 days.
55. If left to her own devices, a female cat may have three to seven kittens every four months. This is why population control using neutering and spaying is so important.
56. Cats step with both left legs, then both right legs when they walk or run. The only other animals to do this are the giraffe and the camel.
In ancient Egypt, entire families would shave their eyebrows as a sign of mourning when the family cat died.
Both humans and cats have identical regions in the brain responsible for emotion.
A cat's brain is more similar to a man's brain than that of a dog.
A cat has more bones than a human; humans have 206, but the cat has 230 (some cites list 245 bones, and state that bones may fuse together as the cat ages).
Cats have 30 vertebrae (humans have 33 vertebrae during early development; 26 after the sacral and coccygeal regions fuse)
The cat's clavicle, or collarbone, does not connect with other bones but is buried in the muscles of the shoulder region. This lack of a functioning collarbone allows them to fit through any opening the size of their head.
The cat has 500 skeletal muscles (humans have 650).
Cats have 32 muscles that control the outer ear (compared to human's 6 muscles each). A cat can rotate its ears independently 180 degrees, and can turn in the direction of sound 10 times faster than those of the best watchdog.
Cats' hearing is much more sensitive than humans and dogs.
Cats' hearing stops at 65 khz (kilohertz); humans' hearing stops at 20 khz.
A cat sees about 6 times better than a human at night, and needs 1/6 the amount of of light that a human does - it has a layer of extra reflecting cells which absorb light.
Recent studies have shown that cats can see blue and green. There is
