Some interesting facts about cats

    • Domestic cats are capable of sprinting at about 31
      miles per hour.

    • When cats walk or run, they step with both left
      legs, then both right legs, and so forth.
    • Cats are capable of jumping 5 times as high as they
      are tall.
    • When grooming, cats lose almost as much fluid
      through saliva as they do when they urinate.
    • Nearly 30% of a cat's life is spent grooming
      itself.
    • Cats' brains are more similar to the human brain
      than they are to dogs. In fact, cats and humans have identical regions in the
      brain responsible for emotion.
    • The hair on a cat's body will stand up fairly
      evenly all over the body when the cat is frightened, but the hair will stand up
      only in a narrow band along the spine and tail when the cat is threatened or
      ready to attack
