Sometimes it may seem to us that cats have no secrets from us, since many of us live with these wonderful animals from early childhood.

However, cats have enough secrets of their own.

What amazing facts do we sometimes not even know about?

Extremely fast awakening

A person cannot switch between sleep and wakefulness in a short period of time, since he needs time for a kind of adaptation.

But a cat needs only one second to “switch modes”.

Unusual declarations of love

Cats have their own specific sign language that demonstrates one emotion or another. Experts note that animals express love and affection in a specific way.

As a rule, the pet simply looks at the owner and starts blinking slowly. By the way, you can repeat this action: this way you will "tell" the cat that you love her too.

Cats don't know the joy of sweets

First of all, it is worth remembering that cats should not eat desserts, as they can be dangerous to their health.

However, it will be interesting to know that animals are completely deprived of this privilege: they simply lack the receptor necessary for this.

A cat doesn't always purr with pleasure

Many people know that a happy and contented pet can delight you with its cozy purring sound. However, this is not always a positive sign.

If an animal feels ill or is in pain, this sound helps it to make the unpleasant sensations less pronounced.

Milk and Cream Controversy

The stereotype that cats love dairy products is quite persistent. Some owners treat their pets for this reason.

But this is a mistake.

Milk and milk-based products are harmful to cats.
