6 Cat Facts We Bet You Didn’t Know…

1
  • A house cat is genetically 95.6 percent tiger.
  • Cats can run up to about 30 miles per hour (but only over short distances).
  • Cats can jump five times their height. (Imagine being able to jump more than 25 feet in the air.)
  • A cat’s whiskers are the same width as his body. (That helps him determine if a space is wide enough to walk through.)
  • Cats do not kill prey with their sharp claws. (Those are for firmly holding onto the animal. Cats make the actual kill with their teeth.)
  • You’re an ailurophile. (Don’t take offense. It means you’re someone who loves cats.)
