Cat Facts

 Hello CatFacts.ca readers! As the weather changes, Viv keeps bringing the Cat Facts! As always, thanks for reading! CAT FACT: Tabby cats are not a specific breed of cat, but rather a coat pattern that can be found in many different breeds! Wow! Viv continues to be, as she always is, super comfy!

 What a cold weekend! No problem for Viv, though, it's just another great day for a Cat Fact! CAT FACT: Cats have a unique way of showing playfulness. Wow! - They may chase toys, pounce, or bat at things with their paws! Meow! Viv was looking a little bit chilly, so we snuggled her up in a blanket, as always!

 Hello CatFacts.ca readers and their Cats! Once again it's our favourite feline day of the week! CAT FACT: Cats are known to have a strong preference for protein-rich foods. Meow! - This is because they have a large number of taste receptors specifically dedicated to detecting amino acids, the building blocks of proteins! 

 Thank you to all the CatFacts.ca readers for reading! We're back again with another Cat Fact! CAT FACT: When a cat is feeling threatened or scared, it may puff up its tail and arch its back! - The stripes on its tail may become more pronounced and jagged in appearance. Wow! - This is a defensive posture that signals to potential predators or threats that the Kitty Cat is ready to defend itself if necessary. Meow! What a sleepy Cat Viv is! 

Halfway through the week is another great time for a Cat Fact! We hope all the CatFacts.ca readers are having a great week! CAT FACT: The Primordial Pouch can indicate the overall health and nutrition of a Kitty-Cat. Wow! - It can become bigger, or shrink, depending on the cat's weight and body condition! Viv is fast asleep! What a long day of napping.

Tabby Tuesday is one of Viv's favourite days of the week! We hope all the CatFacts.ca readers are also enjoying such a Cat day.  CAT FACT: The word “tabby” originally referred to a type of silk made in Baghdad  - The silk had a striped pattern similar to that of tabby cats! Wow! Here's a funny picture of Viv! Looking silly today. 

 Another week, another day of snow, another Cat Fact! Viv is back again today with another thing to learn! CAT FACT: When a cat is happy and content, it will often hold its tail upright with a slight curve at the tip  - The stripes on the tail will be evenly spaced and well-defined when they do this!  - This is a sign that the cat is feeling relaxed and comfortable in its surroundings. Meow! Viv had a sleep-in today!

 It's been another great week of Cat Facts! Thanks to all the CatFacts.ca readers for checking out the page! Viv is gearing up for another week full of Cat Facts! CAT FACT: Cats use their tail stripes as a form of communication. Meow! - They convey different emotions and moods through the position and movement of their tails! Wow Viv is up to nothing new today! It's Sunday so we know what she's doing of course!

 Happy Cat Weekend to all CatFacts.ca readers and kitties! We hope everyone has a relaxing weekend full of learning about Cats! CAT FACT:  Kitty Cat paw pads can act as radars! Wow! - Their paws can detect movement from surrounding environments no matter if it’s from predator or prey!  If Viv relaxed anymore than this she'll slide right onto the floor!

It's another Feline Friday! So another great day for another Cat Fact! Don't forget to submit your Cat-Pics! CAT FACT: A similarity between human and cat brains is the presence of neurotransmitters! Wow! - These are things like serotonin and dopamine, which are associated with emotions and mood regulation.  - This is why cats, like humans, can experience a wide range of emotions, from joy and contentment to fear and anxiety!  Check out Viv, relaxed as ever!

 Another Day for a Cat Fact! Viv hopes all the CatFacts.ca readers are staying warm! It's snowy here! CAT FACT: The cerebral cortex in cats is more complex than that of dogs and many other animals  - This suggests that cats are highly intelligent creatures, but we already knew that! Meow! Viv is back in one of her regular day spots!

 Welcome to Wednesday! Cat Facts come every day of the week so we're back again with another Cat Fact! CAT FACT: Cats have a very strong sense of smell! - This excellent sense plays a significant role in their perception of taste - The sense of smell and taste are closely linked in cats, and a strong odor can enhance the taste of food for them! Wow! Why is Viv such a laid out Cat! Because she's so comfy! That's Meow!
