YOUR bed? – or your CAT’s?
February 16, 2008 · 1 Comment
I tried to post here a map of your bed…or is it your cat’s bed? Anyway, the map won’t come here…so you’ll have to go to IT. Scroll down to 164 – A Cat’s Map of the Bed.
Excerpted from the relevant post at that site:
“To conclude this ‘Cat’s Map of the Bed’, here are 10 things you didn’t know about cats (unless you’re a cat fancier):
1. Cats don’t have a clavicle bone, allowing them to pass through any space no bigger than their head.
2. Cats move both legs on one side, and then both leg on the other, a trait they share with camels, giraffes and a select few other mammals. Nobody knows what the connection is, if any.
3. Typically, cat’s claws are sharper on the forefeet are sharper than on the hind feet.
4. Most cats have five claws on their front paws and four or five on their rear paws, but cats are prone to polydactyly. Famously, the cats hanging around Hemingway’s house in Key West are six-toed.
5. Cat’s night vision is superior to humans, but their day vision is inferior.
6. The official name for cat’s whiskers is vibrissae.
7. Due to an ancient mutation, cats can’t taste sweetness.
8. Blue-eyed cats with white fur have a higher incidence of genetic deafness.
9. Cats expend nearly as much fluid grooming as they do urinating.
10. Cats will almost never meow at other cats; that sound is reserved mostly for communication with humans.”
Even *I* learned a few things here – and I am definitely a cat ‘fancier’!
I haven’t had internet access recently – so I apologise for my absence, and I am grateful that you are all still here. Thank You!
