Cat Facts

 It's Feline Friday! Viv hope's all the CatFacts.ca readers are Feline alright! CAT FACT: The part of a cat's brain that controls vision is highly developed, which makes sense given that cats are visual hunters - The superior colliculus, a part of the brainstem responsible for visual processing, is well-developed in cats. This allows them to quickly and accurately track prey, even in low light conditions. Wow! It's getting warmer, but Viv stays warm always! Meow!

Viv's back again for another Tabby Tuesday Cat Fact! Hopefully everyone is enjoying the new spring weather! Meow! CAT FACT: A tabby is any domestic cat (Felis catus) with a distinctive 'M'-shaped marking on its forehead - They also have stripes by the eyes and across their cheeks, along the back, and around their legs and tail, although these traits can change by breed -  "Tabby" is not a breed of cat, but a coat type seen in almost all genetic lines of domestic cats, regardless of status Viv is not a Tabby, she's a domestic shorthair! Wow!

 Welcome to Wednesday! Cat Facts come every day of the week so we're back again with another Cat Fact! CAT FACT: Cats have a very strong sense of smell! - This excellent sense plays a significant role in their perception of taste - The sense of smell and taste are closely linked in cats, and a strong odor can enhance the taste of food for them! Wow! Why is Viv such a laid out Cat! Because she's so comfy! That's Meow!

 One of Viv's favourite days, it's Wednesday! We're back to spring weather here so we hope you're all not too cold wherever you are! CAT FACT: Cats have a unique way of showing aggression! Wow! - sometimes they may arch their backs! We've all seen this, Meow! - sometimes they hiss and growl, Woah Kitty-Cat! Here's a pic of Viv showing no aggression! She has found a new favourite spot to lay down all day on her purple blanket. 

Sunny Sunday is here! Thank you all for one great first week of Cat Facts for all cats! I hope you have enjoyed reading the posts and cat-facts as much as I have enjoyed making them! We'll keep it up -because we love cats! Next fact - see below! CAT FACT: Kitty cats can jump up to six times their own body length. Cats have a really flexible spine and extremely powerful leg muscles that allow them to jump up to six times their own body length. With this insane jumping ability, and their retractable claws, they are super-skilled hunters and climbers! Meow!!
