Despite the fact that cats have lived under the same roof with humans for several thousand years, all of their habits and oddities have not been explained.
To this day, in the human world, this animal is associated with independence and mystery.
Here are some facts that will surprise even experienced cat lovers.
1. Everyone knows that a cat is a predatory animal. But it hunts not only to feed itself or its offspring.
The animal is not averse to having fun and often chases prey solely for pleasure or to show attention to its owner by presenting the prey as a gift.
2. Cats that live outdoors are naturally farsighted. This feature is believed to help them survive in the wild.
3. The opinion about the animal's ability to see in the dark is somewhat exaggerated.
The cat's eye does indeed see more sharply in the twilight and darkness, but the animal has whiskers with which it can determine the location of objects.
4. Many cats love condensed milk, but this does not mean that the animal loves sweets. Quite the contrary.
The receptors of a cat's tongue do not detect this taste at all - this is how nature has decreed it.
5. There are breeds of cats that are as loyal and devoted to their owners as dogs.
Moreover, a cat's intelligence is not inferior to a dog's IQ and the animal can perform commands and tricks with the same success.
It's just that dogs and cats have different attitudes towards people.
