Cat Facts

The nose pad of a cat is ridged in a pattern that is unique, just like
the fingerprint of a human.

There are more than 500 million domestic cats in the world, with 33
different breeds.

The largest known litter (with all surviving) was that of a Persian in
South Africa named Bluebell. Bluebell gave birth to 14 kittens in one
litter!




Your cat loves you and can "read" your moods. If you're sad or under
stress, you may also notice a difference in your cat's behavior.

The American cat population reached nearly 68 million in 1996.
American Demographics magazine estimates that's about 200 million
kitty yawns per hour and a whopping 425 million catnaps each day!

The weirdest cat on record was a female called Mincho who went up a
tree in Argentina and didn't come down again until she died six years
later. While treed, she managed to have three litters with equally
ambitious dads.
