Cats are Great

1. Cats can make ten times more vocal sounds than dogs can.
2. Cats have the largest eyes in relation to their body size of any animal.
3. A human’s brain is more similar to a cat’s than a dog’s in the way in works.
4. Sailors often bought cats as ship mascots during both world wars. They were used to protect food supplies from mice, and were commonly given their own hammocks to sleep in!
5. A cat can recognise its owner’s unique footsteps from up to one hundred metres away.
6. Your cat’s tongue is covered in many tiny hooks which help in tearing food apart in its mouth.
7. A cat can turn to the direction of a sound it hears ten times faster than the best watchdog.
8. Hearing is a real strong-point - your cat can rotate each ear independently and with a range of 180 degrees.
9. Americans own 73 million cats whereas they only own 63 million dogs, meaning cats win the popularity contest!
10. Cats do not have a collarbone, meaning they can fit through almost any opening smaller than their head!
