Just putting it out there, FYFacts is for sharks. But no hard feelings for the kitty aficionados out there.

fuckyeahfacts:

Ailurophilia is the “love of cats.”

A cat’s heart beats twice as fast as a human heart, at 110 to 140 beats per minute.

If your cat is near you, and her tail is quivering, this is the greatest expression of love your cat can give you.   If her tail starts thrashing, her mood has changed —- Time to distance yourself from her.

Don’t pick a kitten or a cat up by the scruff of its neck;  only mother cats can do this safely, and only with their kittens.

Your cat loves you and can “read” your moods.  If you’re sad or under stress, you may also notice a difference in your cat’s behavior.

Sir Isaac Newton, discoverer of the principles of gravity, also invented the cat door.

A cat will amost never “meow” at another cat.  This sound is reserved for humans.

The most popular names for female cats in the U.S. are Missy, Misty, Muffin, Patches, Fluffy, Tabitha, Tigger, Pumpkin and Samantha.

Give your cat a quality scratching post to deter her from scratching your furniture.  Still scratching?  Try putting lemon scent or orange scent on the area.  Cats hate these smells.
