Sexual maturity

Female cats blossom/develop around 6-10 months and males reach it between 9-12 months. Ideally, you should spay your cat around 4-5 months old and you can neuter your cat as soon as they come out of the birth canal! OK, on a serious note, I’m just kidding. You want to neuter just around 7-8 months old but it can be a little sooner.

That’s magic. Or nerves.

Taurine

It’s not an amino acid but it’s an organic acid that is found in animal tissues to regulate some bodily functions. Carnivorous animals, such as cats, cannot produce this on their own and have to obtain it strictly from their diet. Tuna & dog food should NOT be given to cats since it lacks taurine and can cause lots of health problems over a long period of time.

Cat jaws can only move vertically, or up & down

Humans and dogs can move laterally/horizontally, or side to side.
