7 mysteries about the cat species

Cats have been domesticated by humans for a very long time, but the past of these animals still remains unresolved. Cats themselves still harbor mysteries.

  1. Why do some cats not cover their feces? Many people assume that cats are very clean, and they often bury their feces after using the litter box. But why do some male cats not do so? They spray everywhere and don’t bother to cover it up? The truth is that they bury their feces to limit the spread of the smell to the surrounding environment, which helps them avoid being detected by predators. However, some male cats need to mark their territory, so they don’t need to cover up their feces.
  1. When do cats meow “meow”? Every day we often hear cats meowing “meow”, but they don’t always meow like that. They only meow when communicating with humans. When facing other animals, they don’t meow like that. Moreover, scientists have also discovered a very interesting fact: not only cats meow “meow” but also many other animals such as squirrels, monkeys, foxes … (we temporarily call them a common name “cat”. :D)

3 Have you ever seen a cat sweat?

According to research, cats only sweat through the pads on their paws, while other parts of their body do not help them regulate heat.

  1. Why don’t cats like water? This is a question that many people wonder about, and it is due to the fact that a cat’s fur has two layers, and when it gets wet, the insulation of the fur is not good, which makes cats dislike water. However, there is an exceptional species of cat in Central Asia that has the ability to swim because of the water-resistant nature of its fur. Isn’t it a mystery, folks!
5 Most of us understand that cats lick their fur to clean themselves. But cats lick their fur to get vitamin D, as cat fur has the ability to synthesize vitamin D and cats often lick their fur under the sun to get the vitamin, not just to clean themselves.
6. What are cat whiskers for? We all know that cat whiskers are important, and the interesting fact that few people know is that a cat’s whiskers are exactly as long as the width of its body. This helps them navigate through complex terrain during hunting. If their whiskers touch something in a narrow gap, they will understand that their body may encounter a problem here. Whiskers can also serve as a measuring tool for cats.
7.Cats sleep 70% of their lives. This means that if a cat lives for 9 years, it will only be awake for about 3 years and sleep for 6 years. Interestingly, kittens sleep more to conserve energy, while adult cats sleep more simply because they enjoy it.
