Felius catus

A popular question among people is, “Are you a cat person or a dog person?” And if you’re like me, you’re most definitely a cat person. Cats are amazing creatures, but how much do you really know about them? Did you know tabby cats aren’t really a breed? Rather, “tabby” is the pattern of the fur in which any breed can have. Here are so more facts:

1. Cats can hear better than dogs.

Plus a cat can hear higher frequency sounds two octaves higher than a person can.

2. A cat’s brain is more similar to a human brain than it is to a dog’s.

Both humans and cats have the same regions of the brain that are used for emotions.

3.The smallest cat is the Singapura.

They can weigh up to 4 lbs. How small and cute is that!

4. The biggest cat is the Maine Coon.

They can weigh 25 lbs. Big and beautiful!

5. The Egyptian Mau is probably the oldest breed of cat.

“Mau” is the Egyptian word for “cat.”

6. A cat’s nose pad is ridged with a unique pattern, just like the fingerprint of a human.

7. Cats have about 130,000 hairs per square inch.

Cats are amazing animals that come in all different shapes and sizes, and all of them are beautiful.
