Cats are interesting and beautiful animals. In the article we will tell you about interesting facts about cats.

What is unique about cats

Whiskers-antennas, ears-satellite locators and a dual sense of smell mechanism that surpasses even the sensitive scent of dogs - the sensory world of cats is unique.

Balance is a special gift of cats. They are not afraid of great heights and narrow, like rope, surfaces. They can land on all legs when they fall. The reason for this is the well-developed sixth sense of a cat - the ability to feel well the position of its body in space or, scientifically, proprioception.

What emotions do cats have

They may experience simple, basic emotions: hunger, fear, pain, loneliness, curiosity. These are emotions, mostly associated with physical sensations. By the way, the cat does not divide pain into internal and external. Therefore, if something hurts a cat, then it seems to her that this is some kind of influence from the outside.

What is the memory of cats

Cats have both short-term and long-term memory. They will remember where they put their toys or treats for 16 hours, which is not the case with dogs. They will forget about it in 5 minutes.

What do cats think of humans

Cats consider the people they live with to be their favorite family. And they show it all the time in different ways. If a cat, purring in your arms, gently moves its paws, or, sitting on its hands, gently looks at you, rubs its wet nose, licks your hands and face, know that your cat treats you like its mother.

How does a cat recognize its owner

According to research, cats are able to sense our mood and respond to it. If the owner is stressed, then the cat will also be stressed. Feeling that the owner is sad, the cat will begin to calm him down in all ways available to her.
