Let’s Get High, Man

Catnip will get your cat high but not all cats are affected by or care for it; there is a specific gene that makes some cats go nuts over it. Doctors & vets say it’s non-addictive but they must have never met this cat…Gimme-the-catnip-or-the-dog-gets-it

Whiskers are essential

They help cats maneuver around objects and determine if they can squeeze through an opening. Those whiskers can even help express their mood. If a whisker is damaged, the cat will feel a lot of pain since they are connected to nerves in their face. Imagine 127 Hours but it’s a cat. And it’s not an arm, it’s a face. OUCH!

Free floating bone

The collarbone of your feline friend is not connected to any bone in their body. Rather, it sits in between muscles in their shoulders which allows them to fit in small places.

Kitty’s purr may be deceiving

Your cats purr doesn’t necessarily mean they are happy; purring can represent emotions from pure joy to terrible pain. Listen closely. 🙂

Sir Winston Churchill was a cat person.

The ole Brit cared about more than just fighting Nazi’s, he was in love with his cat Jock. So much so that Jock not only attended cabinet meetings, dinner at the Churchill home wouldn’t begin without him at the table!
