Cat fun

This is really cute. Go to this site, turn on your sound & move your mouse around. Have fun!

And here are a few facts about cats for you:
  • A domestic cat can sprint at about 31 miles per hour.
  • Cats have 32 muscles that control the outer ear (compared to human's 6 muscles each). A cat can rotate its ears independently 180 degrees
  • The hearing of the average cat is at least five times keener than that of a human adult.
  • Cats can make more than 100 different vocal sounds.   .
  • One female cat and her offspring, left to breed at will, can produce 420,000 kittens in just seven years.
  • Almost 10% of a cat's bones are in its tail, and the tail is used to maintain balance.
  • The domestic cat is the only species able to hold its tail vertically while walking.
  • Purring does not always indicate that a cat is happy and healthy - some cats will purr loudly when they are terrified or in pain.
  • A cat will spend nearly 30% of her life grooming herself.
