  1. Need To Know About CATS http://www.PetsGroomingTips.com

  2. The question of whether or not a cat's love is real might seem ridiculous to those who do not own cats. Dogs might claim the title of man's best friend, but everyone who has lived with cats knows they're simply too awesome to want to be friends with. Some might argue, however, that those who own cats apply human characteristics to non human entities. Well, those who argue that all the animals take care of their young ones, just because of their instinct, have obviously not spent time with a cat. http://www.PetsGroomingTips.com

  3. Smelling A cat relies on its sense of smell to establish its territory, and to know if food's safe to eat. A cat's nose has almost 200 million nerve cells, making its sense of smell fourteen times more sensitive than that of a human. Astonishingly, a cat can remember a certain smell for the rest of its life. http://www.PetsGroomingTips.com

  4. Hearing Cats are known for having astounding senses. A cat's outer ear flap takes in sound from every direction, which then goes down their ear canals to the eardrum. After the sound vibrates on eardrum, the middle ear changes the vibration to sound waves & sends them to the cat's cochlea and finally the brain. A cat can hear from twenty hertz up to approx. 65,000 hrtz. Since a cat responds more readily to a high pitch than a low pitch, this might be the reason a cat seems to like a woman better with a high pitched voice. The ears are also assist cats in balance. This is the main reason why cats normally land on their feet when falling. http://www.PetsGroomingTips.com

  5. Tasting Although a cat only has 475 taste buds, while humans have 9,000, it has unique papillae to make up for it. Its tongue is covered with numerous small projections that hook downwards, giving it a rough, sand-papery feel. The papilla helps them scrape meat off bones and hold their prey. Cats also have problems tasting salty and sweet food since their taste receptors favor high-fat and high-protein tastes. http://www.PetsGroomingTips.com

  6. Seeing The feline eye structure has the cornea, the lens, the retina, the iris, and the tapetumlucidum. The tapetumlucidum is a layer of mirror-like cells that reflect small amount of light, helping a cat to see. This is why a cat only needs 1/6 of the light that a person needs so as to see clearly. Nonetheless, cats cannot see in total darkness. They also have a third eyelid known as the haw to protect their eyes. A cat's pupil is elliptical to help control the quantity of light that enters. In semi-darkness, their pupils dilate and become almost flawlessly round. A cat's pupil can dilate 3 times more than that of a human being. http://www.PetsGroomingTips.com

  7. Behavior Free-ranging cats are lively both day and night, though they tend to be more active at night. The timing of a cats' movement is quite flexible, meaning that house cats can be more active early in the morning and late in the evening (crepuscular behavior). This is due to greater human activity that occurs at these times. http://www.PetsGroomingTips.com

  8. Feeling Cats have an average of twenty four whiskers on their face; these hairs very thick and are rooted three times deeper. Whiskers are very sensitive to detect slightest changes in air current. They are also used to see if a cat can fit through a gap. Not only are the whiskers all over a cat's face, but they are also on the back of its front legs. Whiskers are replaced whenever they fall off. A cat's fur has unique sensitive nerve ending that detect a slight touch. Their paws are also very sensitive to touch. http://www.PetsGroomingTips.com

  9. Breeding Under controlled breeding, cats are easily bred and shown as registered pets, a hobby called cat fancy. Failure to control their breeding by neutering has led to large numbers of feral cats. This has led to extinction of countless bird species. http://www.PetsGroomingTips.com

  10. Communication Cat communication has many varieties of vocalizations. They consist of mewing, purring, hissing, growling, trilling and grunting. Cats have cat pheromones & number of specific body languages as well. http://www.PetsGroomingTips.com

  11. Adaptability Like other felids, cats have a similar anatomy. They are very strong with quick reflexes, flexible bodies, sharp retractable claws, and very sharp teeth that are adapted to killing small prey like mice. http://www.PetsGroomingTips.com
