10 unusual Facts about Cats
- Researchers believe that cats are the only mammals who don't taste sweetness.

The feline's "system" runs almost on a diet that consists only meat. A cat's body can not process carbohydrates.
- If you wonder why your cat sometimes stares at you with her open mouth from time to time, it's because of it's ability to "taste" the air. Responsible for that is the Jacobson's organ, located at the mouth, behind the front teeth, and connects to the nasal cavity.
- Cats have whiskers on the back of their front legs as well!
Cats walk like camels and giraffes: They move both of their right feet first, then move both of their left feet. No other animals walk this way.

- If a cat is in a playful mood, its tail will be shaped like a question mark.
- In a fight, the weaker cat is the one that usual hisses.
- If a cat is draping its tail over you or someone else, it's a sign of friendship.
- A group of kittens is called a "kindle"!
