Cat Facts

One amazing cat fact is how the feline has adapted to humans in their environment. A lost dog will tend to wonder until it drops from exhaustion, whereas long before exhaustion sets in, a lost cat will seek the source of warmth and food it has learned is available from its friend the human.

Many stray or lost cats have found a new home, simply by persistence and appealing to the good nature of an available household. This sense of confidence in finding human caregivers can give a cat a very independent feeling that may be taken to the extreme.

If this cat becomes upset with its current environment, it remembers that all he has to do is move on to the next household and work his way into the family. It would seem that cats easily view the world, as the grass is greener on the other side.

Facts about cats 

May your feline live long and prosper

how long do cats live

It appears that a common belief between Experts is that if the cat remains to be an indoor cat, and never goes outside that their lifespan can triple over a cat that frequently goes outside. In doing some research on cats that go outside.

I have found several authority, articles stating that the average lifespan of an outdoor cat would be about six years. The reasons for this shortened lifespan are obvious. But just a few would be automobile accidents, picking up parasites and diseases, being hunted by larger animals and territorial fights with their own feline kind.

As far as increasing the lifespan of your indoor cat, there are several things you can do to increase how long cats live. Of course, number one on this list would be regular visits to the veterinarian. A good rule of thumb would be to visit your veterinarian about once a year.

Recent cat history 

Thomas the tuxedo cat

Stories of the recent contribution to human and cat history include the feline prowess at hunting small vermin like mice and rats. Early North American settlements valued the presence of cats to help protect the grain storage areas and other food areas from attack by local mice and rats.

The felines were nice to have around because they were not a direct competitor for the human food source and actually protected it from vermin.

The cats extreme efficiency at ridding the settlements of unwanted vermin made them a welcomed and loved member of the community. The cats history is filled with stories of feline and humans working side-by-side for common goals.

A little known fact about cats is that their ability for hunting vermin stems from the ability to hear ultra high-pitched frequencies used by these rodents. The human ear cannot hear these sounds made by the rodents. The cat can not only here these ultra-high pitch noises, but they have a tremendous directional sense of hearing and can pinpoint the location of the undesired animal.

Our own cats do strange things 

Cat Facts at our home

Strange cat behavior and eating mouse tails

Our kitty Riley exhibits some weird cat behavior When she is given a toy mousy. She will bat the mouse around for a short time, but then she starts to chew on the tail until the tail is removed from the mousy. She will then swallow this piece of tail. A few days later it turns up in the litter box.

This strange cat behavior kind of boggles my mind. We are not sure why she eats the tail off of the mousy. She will only eat the tail, if it is a high quality leather mouse tail. She will not eat the tail off of any cheap or string tailed mousy.

This is not an isolated incident. She performs this tale surgery, every time she is giving a new mousy. All of her mouse toys are now missing their tails. Our other cat is not interested in the tail at all.

We have stoped this behavior by cutting the tails off the mousy before deployment because we are woried about the health issues this may cause.

Which leads me to tell you about the cat health insurance we purchased. After being slamed with a vet bill close to $4,000 to save one of our cats life we purchased pet insurance so we are covered in the future. Learn about the cat health insurance plans we think are the best.
