Do you know everything about your pet? Many people have a cat and are not even aware of some of its features. In the meantime, this can be very useful in her upbringing, and indeed, in understanding many of her actions.

Probably, everyone has long known about the great love of cats for valerian. Someone even solves their pet from time to time and have fun from his games (and these are games, since this medicine makes the cat remember his childhood). But this is absolutely impossible to do, since you can harm your cat (poisoning is the smallest of all the consequences).

2. The pet is very much afraid of the vacuum cleaner

A vacuum cleaner is the best assistant in cleaning, but bad luck - your pet is terribly afraid of him. Why is this happening? It turns out that because of the strong noise and the ability of this household appliance to suck in small objects, your cat seems to be a wild animal. If you want to overcome such fear, then just leave the vacuum cleaner in the room with the cat - let him study it and understand that he is not dangerous at all.

3. Feel almost no taste

Cats have a very poor taste in food. And there are almost no receptors that sense sweetness at all. Therefore, if your pet intends to steal your ice cream, then most likely he just likes its smell.

4. Are cats ambidextrous?

Cats, like humans, can be both right-handed and left-handed. But that's not all - your pet may turn out to be ambidextrous. Watch out, what if he controls both the right and left paws!

5. The life of a cat is a dream of many people

Cats sleep 2/3 days. That is, out of 9 years they sleep 6! And the rest of the time they do their favorite things - they eat, play, caress and take care of themselves.

6. Cats are smarter than they want to appear

Any cat recognizes the intonation of your voice - that is, he perfectly understands when you are angry with him and when you praise him. Well, if he pretends that he does not understand you, then he is just pretending.

7. Cats don't sweat

Have you ever seen cats sweat? Of course not! Because they lack sweat glands. But through one place all the same excess moisture comes out - through the paws.

8. Cats encroach on houseplants

Does your pet constantly nibble on houseplants? This can happen for several reasons: either he is exploring the world in this way, or something is wrong with his health and he is trying to find a cure. Take him to the vet just in case.

9. All cats purr

Someone says that his cat purrs like a tractor, while others complain that their pet does not purr. In fact, this is not so - it's just that the purr is so soft that the human ear does not perceive it.

Also, scientists still cannot understand the cause of these sounds. Some say that cats publish them as a sign of love and friendliness, others think that this is how they try to communicate, others assume that in this way they try to calm themselves down when they are in pain. But, most likely, all the options are correct, you just need to look at the situation.

10. A cute kitten can bring you a not at all cute mouse

From an early age, the kitten is taught to hunt by his mother. Therefore, if your pet brought you a mouse, do not get upset and swear at him - in this way he shows his love and desire to teach you how to hunt.

But there are absolutely domestic cats that are frightened by the sight of birds or rats. This is due to the fact that he was not taught to hunt at the time and was protected from the outside world, locked in an apartment.

As you can see, cats are amazing creatures. They can both touch and scare. But at the same time, everyone still loves them and, by the way, for good reason.
