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.
How a cat's body works
A cat's spine is very flexible and its shoulder blades are loosely attached, so it can twist, squeeze through gaps and land softly. Most cats can pull their claws back inside their paws, which keeps the tips sharp and lets them walk almost silently.
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.
