Every cat's nose pad or nose leather is different--like a human fingerprint. Cats use their noses not only for smelling, but also for detecting temperature changes

Cats' eyes are so big that if our eyes were proportionately as big they would be about 8 inches in diameter.

Cats are usually considered color-blind

Your cat's tail usually tells his mood:
Carried high - proud and content
Extended straight - he's stalking
Thrusting side to side - he may be angry

An adult cat can weigh as much as 20 pounds and as little as 5.

A cat scratching post is used to satisfy the urge to stretch, clean claws, and marking territory, not for claw sharpening
