    lickystickypickyme: Amazing Cat Facts Ailurophilia is the “love of cats.”  The most popular names for female cats in the U.S. are Missy, Misty, Muffin, Patches, Fluffy, Tabitha, Tigger, Pumpkin and Samantha. A cat uses its whiskers to determine if a space is too small to squeeze through. The oldest cat on record was Puss, from England, who died in 1939 just one day after her 36th birthday. Most cats have no eyelashes. Cat’s fur easily becomes charged with electricity and sparks can be seen if their fur is rubbed in the dark. Cats purr at 26 cycles per second, the same as an idling diesel engine. A cat cannot see directly under its nose. 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. A cat keeps purring, no matter if it is inhaling or exhaling. A house cat spends 70% of its time sleeping. A cat has 32 muscles in each ear. The nose pad of a cat is ridged in a pattern that is unique, just like the fingerprint of a human. Cats knead with their paws when they’re happy. A falling cat will always right itself in a precise order.  First the head will rotate, then the spine will twist and the rear legs will align, then the cat will arch its back to lessen the impact of the landing. A group of kittens is called a “kindle.” A group of grown cats is called a “clowder.” Have you ever tried to feed your cat food that was just taken out of the refrigerator?  Most cats prefer their food at room temperature, and will boldly REFUSE any food that is too cold or too hot. Never feed your cat dog food. Cats need five times more protein than dogs do. Cats are the sleepiest of all mammals.   They spend 16 hours of each day sleeping.  With that in mind, a seven year old cat has only been awake for two years of its life!
