ABOUT CATS - Interesting Facts About Cats!. All cats are born blind. The ability to see comes during the first weeks after birth! Cats. have rudimentary nonfunctional collar bones that allow them to pass through tight spaces and helps balance and calm!
Cats tend to have a third eyelid that is not normally visible to us. If you're seeing more often - the cat may be sick!
Cat vision is similar to humans in daylight, but you can see six times better than us in the dim light - owing to the great students and the ability to collect light in the back of the eye due to surface of the retina reflection!
Field of vision in cats is slightly compromised by a binocular vision, which gives them a greater depth perception and ability to judge the position of their prey more closely to pounce on them in activities with high speed!
Sense of smell cat is fourteen times stronger than ours - it means they can smell the litter box much earlier than us!
Hearing of cats is also very good. They can hear higher pitched sounds that we and the dogs. Thirty-two individual muscles in their ears allow them to identify the exact location of a sound source!
The individual positioning of whiskers is unique to all cats - they are like fingerprints. Whiskers also allow cats to feel their way in extreme darkness and from its size when fully erect, is nearly equal to the width of the body of cats - which allows cats to judge whether a space or passage is too narrow for them! Whiskers are also often indicative of cat behavior. Erect, whiskers forward tell you that the cat is excited, animated. While whiskers are often laid at rest on the defensive!

Flexibility of the spine is highlighted in the Cheetah - the fastest mammal on earth. With large adrenal glands, spine flexible and everything as a rudder, the Cheetah can beat the African savannah!
Tigre is the largest cat on earth. An adult Siberian tiger can weigh up to 800 pounds and is a major land predators. Tigers are excellent swimmers and, in fact, the only cat who seems to enjoy walking in the water (the Jaguar in Americas frequently go into the water to hunt baby alligators and anacondas!)
