Why cats behave the way they do
Sleeping, grooming and short bursts of play fill most of a cat's day. Play looks like hunting on purpose: stalking, pouncing and carrying a toy are the same movements a wild cat uses to catch food.
Fun facts
- A group of cats is called a clowder, and a group of kittens is called a kindle.
- Cats have about 20 whiskers on each side of the face, and each one sits in a socket full of nerves.
- Most adult cats sleep somewhere between twelve and sixteen hours a day.
- Cats sweat only through their paw pads, so on hot days you may see damp paw prints.
- Kittens are born with their eyes closed and open them after about a week to ten days.
