Support & safety portalCats are wonderful creatures and if the truth be known, nobody actually owns a cat because it's much truer to say that our feline friends own us. When it comes to ruling the roost, cats have got it off to a tee, and they've sussed it out very well indeed, wrapping their owners right around their little furry paws. People passionate about cats are known as 'ailurophiles' which means they are always eager to make sure their feline friends have everything they would ever need to be happy, content, healthy and pampered.
There are lots of reasons why cats are so popular and not just in the UK but in many other countries of the world too. They are loveable and extraordinary creatures and getting to know a cat's individual personality is a fun experience. This is especially true if you adopt an older cat because they are already set in their ways and there's not a lot you can do about changing a cat's preferred routine. In fact, this is one thing that cats are never that fond of doing, and it's usually the new owners who end up changing their routines to suit their new furry friend – and quite rightly so! Below are a few interesting and fun facts about our lovely, feline friends.
Cats are incredibly agile and graceful creatures and they enjoy the finer things in life. The beauty of these adorable creatures is they are wonderfully independent yet they also love the companionship of their owners. They are also very clean animals, burying and hiding their faeces in the dirt to cover up their tracks. Males on the other hand mark their territory which can be a little bit of an aroma problem – although, they do this less if they've been neutered. Here are some more fascinating facts about cats:
Although some breeds are extremely talkative to their owners and other people many cats rarely meow to each other. When cats fight they are very vocal but they do not meow to each other even when all the commotion is going on. More fascinating facts about cats:
Cats are beautiful and very clever little creatures, and they know how to get what they want. It's always a pleasure to watch a cat perform and play around with any toys we offer them. However, when they play with toys, they are really practising their hunting skills! More fun facts about cats:
Cats love to be stroked and petted although a few characters are never that keen on too much of this kind of attention. However, when a cat rubs its face on their owners, this is not just a sign of affection because your cat is also marking the person as belonging to them and they do this through scent glands cats have around their face! More fun facts to muse over:
Cats have kept humans amused for centuries because they are such gorgeous creatures. If well looked after a cat can live a very long time which means they really do become part of a family. If you are thinking about getting a cat, why not think about adopting one from a local rescue centre via our cat adoption pages and give a lovely creature a second chance?
