‘Bring me the cake! Today is my day’
‘Bring me the cake! Today is my day’
‘I am a cat, Mr.., I can do anything’ – this is a line from Poochsar, whether at home or in the country. He has a nature that does not bother anyone. He will do it if he is in the mood, but he does not like teaching and restrictions. No cat in the world has ever given a human the respect of being an owner. Another cat that is slightly larger than him in size, that is a human in front of cats.
You cannot find a cat to follow humans by wagging its tail or following orders, here ‘my way is my way’ is the habit. But cats are also smart enough to attract attention by spreading cuteness for the sake of convenience. Cunning and courage are the two main characteristics of cats. Thus, cats cannot be easily defeated. Similarly, Poochsar does not hesitate to challenge any killer head-on. Today is Cat Day. Cat Day is celebrated every year on August 8. The International Fund for Animal Welfare started this day in 2002.
Despite all this, there are some things you may not know about cats.
No taste for sweets
Unlike dogs, cats don’t really like sweets. Just throw a sugar cube in front of your cat and you’ll see them turn away with a frown. The main taste receptor on a cat’s tongue has changed over time due to mutations. As a result, they have become less fond of sweets.
Every cat has a unique nose print
Like human fingerprints, every cat has a unique pattern of lines and bumps on the outside of their nose. If you examine a cat’s nose with a magnifying glass, the pattern will be different. No two cats in the world have the same nose print.
Cats sleep for three-quarters of their lives
If a cat is 12 years old, it will have been awake for only four years of its life. Cats produce growth hormones while they sleep. So if you see your cat sleeping a lot, don’t worry that it’s due to some kind of illness.
Female cats are right-handed, male cats are left-handed
A study conducted at Queen’s University in Belfast found that cats’ paw preferences (which paw they put forward when walking or digging) also change depending on their gender. Female cats are more right-handed, while male cats are more left-handed.
Smell, not taste, is important
Unlike humans, cats don’t have as many taste buds. So smell is what draws them to food. So if cats have respiratory problems, the first sign will be a loss of appetite.
About 100 vocal sounds
Studies show that they develop more than a hundred vocal sounds for communication, not just the single meow. Dogs, on the other hand, only produce ten vocal sounds.
