For those who love cats | Things that maybe you did not know.

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

1. It is said that in ancient Egypt cats were worshiped, so much so that the mistreatment of these animals could be punishable by death. His work as a rat hunter was highly valued.

2. An adult cat only meows to communicate with humans.

3. Cats are more obedient to a woman's voice because they have a keener voice to men. For cats, the high-pitched sounds are kind and the bass is aggressive.

4. The hearing ability of cats is amazing. They are capable of hearing sounds at 64 kHz. We can hear maximum sounds of 20 kHz.

5. Cats have 36 muscles in each ear and function as parabolic antennas, directing them towards the source of the sound.

6. Cats sometimes purr when they are nervous or scared, and do so to calm themselves. The purring of cats does not always mean tranquility.

7. Cats have more long-term memory than dogs, especially when they learn something by doing it.

8. The cat walks by moving the back and front legs on the same side at the same time. Only cats, camels and giraffes walk like that.

9. The brain of a cat is 90% similar to that of a human being. We have more similarities with them than with dogs.

                                       

10. Most white cats with blue eyes are deaf. He who has only one blue eye will be deaf on that side. WHY THIS HAPPENS?

    The cause is in the W gene itself, this gene has a complete penetrance for the white color, which means that all cats that have it, will necessarily develop a white coat. However, this penetrance is incomplete for the blue color of the eyes and for deafness. This allows that all these cats are not deaf, although the probability that they are deaf is high. In many cases it has been found that the level of penetrance of eye color and deafness varies depending on the interaction with other genes and also with environmental factors.

    Many times people do not detect the hearing defect in time and this can be dangerous because if they go out, they could be run over when crossing a street when they do not hear the proximity of the cars. Therefore, it is recommended to take special care with this type of kittens.

11. When a cat rubs between the legs of the human means that it is his.

12. Cats like to scratch vertical objects because it relaxes them, activates circulation and tones up their body.

13. A cat is more likely to survive a short fall than a Great fall, this why? This happens because the cats need more height to place their legs in the correct position to cushion the fall.

           

14. Black cats bring bad luck in many parts of the world, but in Australia and the United Kingdom it is the opposite.

15. Each cat can jump up to 7 times its height.

16. Felines do not understand us as dogs do. This means that the way cats behave with humans does not differ from how they behave with other cats. "They think we're clumsy, of course: cats do not trip over people, but we do run into them, but I do not think they see us as silly or stupid beings, because they do not rub affectionately with cats that are inferior to them" .

 17. Cats do not see black and white. For a long time it was believed that cats had a monochromatic vision, that is, they saw black and white.

                                 

18. But recent studies have verified that cats can distinguish especially blue and green colors in different shades. But they can not see more colors because of the absence of the receiving cone cell of the red color. That humans do.

19. Cats have more bones than humans. They beat us 290 to 206.

20. Common foods for humans can be poison for cats, such as chocolate or coffee.

21. The whiskers of cats are not just long hairs. These serve as a space indicator. They use them to measure the distance with another object and to orient themselves.

22. It is said that sterilization or castration can extend the life of the cat for 2 to 3 more years of life.

23. A cat has the ability to change its meow to get what it wants. You can even imitate a baby's crying to get food.

24. And one ran for mayor of Mexico City in 2013. "EL CAT MORRIS" hehehe xD.
