A Few Fun Facts About Cats

It’s unclear when it started, but suddenly we’ve entered winter. Even those who previously boasted about not feeling cold have quietly switched to thick coats, while the proud cats still hold their familiar poses, elegantly preparing for the winter. When the cat owners get home from work, enjoy a warm cup of water, and give their soft cats a cuddle, exchanging "friendly" little kisses—it’s the simple joy of this winter season.
As a close friend to cats, do you know these few lesser-known facts about them? A Cat’s Whiskers and the Weather Whiskers are an important organ for cats. Not only do they help measure spaces, but they also assist in predicting the weather. Before it rains, as humidity in the air increases, a cat’s whiskers become heavier from the moisture, causing them to move slightly. At this time, cats will often wash their faces or groom themselves to keep their whiskers dry and sensitive. The Range of a Cat’s Vocal Sounds The sounds pets make can greatly reflect their emotions and condition. Cats can produce over 100 different sounds to express their various moods to their owners. They purr when sleeping, make "meow meow" sounds when hungry, and during mating season, they can make loud "yowls." Even when fighting, they produce threatening "hiss" sounds. However, what really tugs at the heartstrings is when cats softly "meow" and seek affection from their owners. A Cat’s Nose Print is Unique A cat’s nose print can be considered their "ID card," used to verify their identity. In some countries, there are "cat nose print identification systems" to differentiate and identify cats. A Cat’s Ears are Extremely Sensitive Both cats and dogs have exceptional hearing systems, able to detect even the faintest of sounds. Studies show that a cat’s ears contain 32 muscles, and their hearing sensitivity is three times that of humans. A Cat’s Jumping Ability is Incredible We all know cats are great jumpers, often leaping to incredible heights. On average, a cat’s height is about 25-30 cm, and it can jump to a height of 1.25-1.5 meters, almost five times its own height. A Cat’s Reproductive Capacity is Astonishing Studies show that a female cat can give birth to around 100 kittens in her lifetime. If owners don’t get their cats spayed in time, the cat’s descendants, through continuous breeding, can accumulate to 420,000 cats in just 7 years. Therefore, spaying cats at the right time not only benefits the pet's health but also helps control the population of stray cats in society. Cats are Nearsighted Although cats have incredibly sharp hearing and smell, their vision isn’t as good. To be specific, cats are nearsighted and almost blind when looking at things up close. This is because their eyes can’t focus on objects that are too near.

How to Help Your Cat Get Used to a Carrier

Image
Choose the Right Carrier for Your Cat The carrier doesn’t need to be overly large, but it should be spacious enough for your cat to stand and turn around comfortably, giving them a sense of security. Since cats have an incredibly sensitive sense of smell and a strong attachment to their territory, it’s important not to use a carrier that has been used by other cats. The mixed scents could cause anxiety for your cat. Always choose a clean carrier with a familiar scent. Make the Carrier a Part of Daily Life Introduce the carrier as an everyday item, much like a cat bed. Instead of using it only for trips, make it a part of your cat’s daily environment. Place it in an area your cat enjoys spending time in, allowing them to enter and exit freely. This way, when you need to use the carrier for travel, your cat will be less anxious about it, as it will already feel like a familiar space. Improve Negative Associations If your cat already has negative associations with the carrier, you c...
