Think that tail on your cat means something?

Tail Talk

Cat Facts and Trivia

Here are some of them I found really neat:

Cats purr at the same frequency as an idling diesel engine, about 26 cycles per second.

Female felines are "superfecund," which means that each of the kittens in her litter can have a different father.

Wow!

When a cat drinks, its tongue - which has tiny barbs on it - scoops the liquid up backwards.

Always knew this. Except the "barbs" on the tongue part.

Thanks yano for sharing. :thumbsup:

Crazy stuff!

Yea I found it last night using StumbleUpon and thought it was pretty interesting. And I have 2 cats of my own, and I liked the thing about the tails the most. :thumbsup:

Wow, that is cool. I have friends who love cats. I'll have to send it around.

I like cats, too. I just don't have any.

Kittens can have different fathers in the same litter. I did not know that. I did think I had heard something about that though before. We have like 50 cats at the moment...

If the tail is still, but tip is twitching intensely:
The cat is very annoyed.

If the tail is swishing vigorously from side to side:
The cat is angry.*

I know these two for a fact! I learned this while messing with our cats(pestering them) when the tail did those things and the cat had this weird look if I kept on the cat would bite me!

Thanks for sharing those neat sites!
