Cat Facts

A cat's hearing capability is five time greater than that of a human. This lessens somewhat about 5 years of age.

A cat can rotate its ears 180 degrees and can locate the source of a sound ten times faster than the most capable watchdog.

Cats with long, lean bodies are more likely to be outgoing, and more protective and vocal than those with a stocky build.

Cats must have fat in their diet because they can't produce it on their own.

Mature cats with no health problems are in deep sleep 15 percent of their lives, and in light sleep 50 percent of the time. That leaves just 35 percent awake time (roughly 6-8 hours a day).

Cats can come back to full alertness faster than any other creature
