Tuesday Cat Fact

Welcome Cat lovers and readers of fine Cat Facts, we're back again today with, you guessed it - another Cat Fact about the Cats who are our feline friends!

CAT FACT: Cats are part of the FELIDAE family of animals - that's why we call them "felines"

- The name "Felidae" comes from the Latin word for cat, "felis."

- This family includes all species of cats, from domestic housecats to lions and tigers

- The scientific Latin name for kitty cats is "Felis catus."

- All members of the cat family have so many characteristics in common, here's a couple:

         - They are digitigrade, that means they have five toes on their front feet and four on their back feet!

         - They are super sneaky with flexible bodies with muscular limbs, for all that jumping and running around! 

Here's a couple pics of our favourite feline rockin' out! Meow!
