FACT 1️⃣

1. Scientists have recorded that cat owners are 30% less likely to have a heart attack or stroke.

“Cat Owners Have Lower Heart Attack Risk, Study”

Owning a cat could reduce your risk of a heart attach by nearly one third, researchers told delegates of the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference in New Orleans in February 2028. The finding provoked a mixed reaction from heart experts and veterinarians.

The finding was the main result of a 10 year study of more than 4,000 Americans by researchers at the University of Minnesota’s Stroke Institute in Minneapolis. Executive director of the Institute, Dr Adnan Qureshi, who is also senior author of the study, was reported by US News & World Report to have said:

“For years we have known that psychological stress and anxiety are related to cardiovascular events, particularly heart attacks.”

Qureshi said having pets probably helped to relieve stress. The researchers said dogs probably had a similar effect, but there weren’t enough dog owners in the study to show this conclusively. Previous research has linked contact with pets to heart benefits, they said.

Qureshi and colleagues extracted data on 4,435 Americans aged 30 to 75, from the second National Health and Nutrition Examination Study that took place from 1976 to 1980. 2,435 of the participants were current or former cat owners, while the remaining 2,000 had never had a cat.

Using the main outcome as death from all causes, including stroke and heart events, the researchers found that over a 10 year follow up period, cat owners showed a 30 per cent lower risk of death from heart attack compared to non cat owners.”

FACT № 2

2. It turns out that the same areas of the brain are responsible for emotions in humans and cats.

Source: “From Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia”

Cat intelligence is the capacity of the domesticated cat to solve problems and adapt to its environment. Research has shown that feline intelligence includes the ability to acquire new behavior that applies knowledge to new situations, communicating needs and desires within a social group and responding to training.

According to researchers at Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine, the physical structure of the brains of humans and cats is very similar. The human brain and the cat brain both have cerebral cortices with similar lobes.

The number of cortical neurones contained in the brain of the cat is reported to be 203 million. Area 17 of the visual cortex was found to contain about 51,400 neurons per mm³. Area 17 is the primary visual cortex.

Feline brains are gyrencephalic, i.e. they have a surface folding as human brains do.

Analyses of cat brains have shown they are divided into many areas with specialized tasks that are vastly interconnected and share sensory information in a kind of hub-and-spoke network, with a large number of specialized hubs and many alternative paths between them. This exchange of sensory information allows the brain to construct a complex perception of the real world and to react to and manipulate its environment.

FACT № 3

3. Cats sleep on average 70% of the day – more than two-thirds of their lives.

Cats spend 70% of their lives asleep.

Its an accepted fact that cats spend their 2/3 life during sleeping. It’s naturally common that predator animals sleep for longer periods during the days. Cats usually spent 13-16 hours of day in sleep.

Cat are usually “crepuscular” means that they are mostly active during dawn and the dusk.

The life of domestic cats consists of four activities – play, hunt, eat and sleep.

Since they are descended from wild cats, this in the open makes perfect sense because they are predators and use huge amounts of energy in order to hunt down prey.

Good sleep also means enough energy for hunting, while hunting means food. How long they will sleep depends on how big the dinner was.

That’s why wild cats, especially very young and very old ones, sleep from 16 to 24 hours a day, while newborn kittens wake up only to drink milk from their mother and continue sleeping.

Unlike people, let alone individuals, who are extremely difficult to wake up, the cat’s sleep is different. They are always careful, even when they are napping.

If someone tries and makes noise and disturbs their sleep, they are able to instantly jump and be ready for action and run. In the wild this characteristic means existence, while at home the cat will only frighten you, but even more often it will make you laugh with its unexpected action.

Domestic cats have a developed survival instinct, so even if they are forced to hunt their dinner, they always keep one ear out for prey to hunt.

Domestic cats sleep about 16 hours a day, even apparently with regular schedules, so you also try to have food served to them on time, because otherwise you will not only be scratched for the furniture of the house, and the cat will clearly to let you know it’s time to eat.

After food comes bedtime. Don’t make noise! 🚫 💥

FACT №4

4. Each cat has its own unique nose print – it’s like fingerprints in humans.

Have you ever looked at your cat’s nose and thought, “Wow, that looks just like a fingerprint, but snottier?” No? Well, that’s okay. Here are bits and pieces about uniqueness of cat nose prints and how it’s determined by genetics.

So, here’s the science part: a cat’s nose print is made up of tiny ridges and bumps on their nose. These ridges and bumps are formed in the womb and are determined by the cat’s genes. It’s like a little genetic puzzle, with each piece fitting together to create a unique nose print.

But what’s even more fascinating is that a cat’s nose print can actually change over time. That’s right, just like how we humans can get wrinkles and age spots, cats can get changes in their nose prints too. It’s like a little record of their life, right on their face.

And just like with human fingerprints, a cat’s nose print can be used for identification purposes. So, if you ever lose your cat, just give their nose print to the authorities and they’ll be able to track them down. It’s like a built-in GPS, but snottier…

FACT № 5

5. Cats don’t have sweat glands all over their bodies like humans. They sweat only through their paws.

Did you know that the domestic cat descended from wild desert cat species in Africa and Arabia? That’s right—our cats’ ancestors came from really hot places! Even on blistering hot days, you are likely to never see your cat sweat. So how do cats keep themselves cool?

Here are some interesting facts about cat sweat that you can use to best care for your cat AND wow your friends.

Do Cats Sweat?

Even though you may never see them sweat, cats are born with an efficient cooling system. Unlike humans, who are born with sweat glands all over the body, a cat’s sweat glands are only located in a few specific hairless areas, including the paws, lips, chin and on the skin that surrounds the anus.

When the body sends a message to the brain that the body’s temperature has gotten too high, the brain sends signals to these glands to start sweating. When the sweat evaporates, it produces a cooling effect on the skin.

Stress can also cause a cat to sweat—a cat that is frightened in a veterinary clinic will often sweat through his little cat paws, leaving wet footprints on the exam table.

So, how do cats cool themselves? They have various other ways to cool off, including:

• Bathing Themselves: When cats bathe themselves, their saliva cools them down as it evaporates, which, to them, feels like getting in and out of a lukewarm swimming pool on a hot day does for humans
• Cool Surfaces: Cats will sprawl on cool-feeling surfaces like tile flooring or an empty bathtub
• Shedding: Cats often shed more than usual when it’s hot outside. Brushing your cat can help with that process and provide some bonding with your cat
• Panting: If your cat is overheated, they’ll begin panting. Panting causes heat to escape the body through the evaporation of saliva.
