CHARACTERISTICS OF A CAT

The cat's independent
personality, grace,
cleanliness, and subtle
displays of affection have
wide appeal. Typically, cats are
creatures of habit; they are
inquisitive, but not
adventurous, and are easily
upset by sudden changes of
routine.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A CAT

Cats have AB blood groups

just like people and can
donate blood to other cats. 
They can compress or
elongate their spine,
making them smaller to
sleep in snuggly places or
longer to leap across wide-
open spaces.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A CAT

Their normal body

temperature ranges
between 100.5 and 102.5
degrees Fahrenheit. 
A cat's heart beats about
twice as fast as your heart
—about 110 to 140 times a
minute in the average cat. 
CHARACTERISTICS OF A CAT

To purr, cats use extra

tissue in the larynx (voice
box). This tissue vibrates
when they purr.
Cats lose almost as much
fluid in the saliva while
grooming themselves as
they do through
urination.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A CAT

Both humans and cats

have identical regions
in the brain
responsible for
emotion, and a cat's
brain is more similar to
a man's brain than that
of a dog's.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A CAT

A cat will never sweat

because it has no sweat
glands.
Cats can have freckles.
They can appear
anywhere on a cat's skin
and even in the mouth.
Cat urine glows under a
black light.
