COOL FACTS ABOUT CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The nose pad of a cat is ridged in a pattern that is unique, just like the fingerprint of a human.

Cats wag their tails when it is in a stage of conflict.  The cat wants to do two things at once, but each impulse blocks the other.  For example:   If your cat is in the doorway wanting to go outside, and you open the door to find it raining, the cat's tail will wag because of internal conflict.  The cat wants to go outside, but doesn't want to go into the rain.  Once the cat makes a decision and either returns to the house or leaves into the rain, the tail will immediately stop wagging

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.

Cats have 290 bones in their bodies, and 517 muscles.

The average age for an indoor cat is 15 years, while the average age for an outdoor cat is only 3 to 5 years.

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