CATS

After the cell leaders training & sending the girls back home, i was waiting for the lift. Then i heard this meow meow sound. It was an unusual meowing that caught my attention. To ease my curiosity (in case i kill the cat), i went to search for the 'attention-seeking' cat. To my shock & horror, i saw this white cat lying on the floor & its right leg was injured. Wah..at that moment, i was at my wit's end as i never has the experience of raising cats at home, so obviously no contact of any vet doctor. Jialat..as i was cracking my brains, God sent this Malay lady who walked past my block & saw what happened. Immediately she called her husband for help. Praise God for this couple that the cat was sent to the vet for immediate treatment. Angry leh - whoever has injured the cat should kena 'canned' & whacked'!

After this incident, i found out some interesting facts about CATS:

1. The lion is the king of the cats. It stands out from the other cats, not just in its distinctive appearance but also in being the only felid that lives in organised social groups. The fastest cat, the cheetah, is also the fastest land animal.


2. Domestic cats or any other cats do not have nine lives. They also do not always land on their feet. It is said that a cat that falls out of a 20-story building has a better chance of surviving than when falling out of a 7-story building because it takes a cat at least 7 stories to co-ordinate itself to land on its feet.


3. Cats cannot see directly below their heads that is why they do not see the food when you put it under their nose.


4. The average cat sleeps between 12-14 hours a day.


5. Cats have 220° field of view where humans only have 180°.


6. Cats' sense of smell is 14 times stronger than that of humans.


7. Cats have 30 permanent teeth, while adult humans have 32.


8. Cats have 30 vertebrae, while humans only have 25.


9. Cats have 230 bones in their bodies, this is 24 more than humans.


10. Cats have a body temperature of between 38 & 39°C.


11. The lifespan of cats are usually between 15 & 20 years.


12. Cats are born with blue eyes. They change at approximately 12 weeks of age.

Not sure if you are aware of all these facts, but they are enough to get to know the cat family. Enjoy the lovable pictures!
