34-44
34. According to VetStreet which does an annual poll of most popular cat names -
I looked at many different sites, this one seemed less like the results you would find from a facebook poll...
The # 1 name for female cats for the year 2013 was ....Bella.
# 2 was Lucy
#3 was Kitty
#4 was Luna
#5 was Chloe
...I am a bit more impressed considering that for many years Tigger and Tiger were the top names for both male and female cats.
35. On the same site VetStreet - The top 5 male cat names were
#1 Oliver
#2 Max
#3 Tiger
#4 Charlie
#5 Simba
..I have never used the names Kitty, Max, Tiger, or Simba... or Tigger!
36. Ever wonder why Fluffy seems to be able to spot something the moves even in the slightest in the distance.. but toss a treat in front of them and the seem to need GPS to find it?
Kitties have a blind spot! It is right under their nose.
37. A Cats heart normally beats between 140 and 220 times per minute.
According to the Mayo Clinic an adult humans resting heart rate is between 60 and 100
Anyone else think the 'Mayo' clinic needs a new name? I hear Mustard is better for you.
38. Though not all White Cats are Deaf - there is a genetic component that is linked to to deafness in cats that is called the W gene - the White coat pigment gene
39. There is a Cat Island.. and I want to go there!
40. The average life span of an indoor cat is 12 to 15 years - the average life span of an outdoor cat.. I will bump it up a bit in case you have less evil in your area - 3-5 years.
41. On average the gestation period for a female cat is 66 days...I am guessing there are many jealous pregnant women ..
42. Cats Dream!..they dream like we do.. less about winning the lottery and more about mousey annihilation
43. Ailurophobia is the fear of cats!
44. There are over 500 million domestic cats in the world.
No I do not have most of them at my house!
