15 things you didn't know about cats

1. You can feel the earthquakes
Some felines behave strangely just before an earthquake, and some experts think they can feel the vibrations of the earth because of their legs.

2. Dream
Cats usually tend to moan more, but if they relax enough and get into deep sleep, they can dream.
In their brains, the same connections occur as in humans at night.

3. Hunt even if you are not hungry
Researchers at the University of Georgia have mounted surveillance cameras around 60 domestic cats and noticed that only 28% of the game is consumed. 50% is simply abandoned, and the rest is brought home as a "trophy."

4. May be allergic to humans
Yes, it's the opposite. Cats kept in the house are more susceptible to respiratory problems due to dust, cigarette smoke or human dander. According to a 2005 study, quoted by mentalfloss.com, asthma that affects a cat in 200 is caused by the lifestyle of the neighborhood of man.

5. Touch her nose as a sign of greeting
Usually touching the nose places the feline in a vulnerable situation, invading the personal space, but sometimes they touch each other's nose as a sign of greeting. It happens when they know each other well enough.

6. Have problems with sight
Prepared for hunting at night, the eyes of cats are very large to the surface of the head. This makes adaptation from looking almost at the far-off look very difficult. Cats that stay more outdoors tend to suffer from hypermetropia, while the indoor ones are rather myopic. And because they have such big eyes, cats can not focus on anything more than a leg in front of them.

7. I can swallow and digest the food without chewing it
This explains the speed with which he completes the plate.

8. Cats do not always "thank you"
Sometimes the torso can indicate a health problem when it's sick, injured, when it hurts, when I'm born or when I'm in a stressful situation.
The sound is heard in both inspirational and exhilarating and has an intensity of between 25 and 150 herts.

9. Do not feel the sweet taste
Cats are not interested in sweets due to a genetic defect - they lack sweet recipes. They take their energy from proteins, not from carbohydrates.

10. Cat's brains are more complex than dogs
According to the researchers, even if it occupies only 0.9% of the body mass, the cat's brain has a complex structure, almost 90% similar to human. Cats have about 300 million neurons, while dogs have 160 million.

11. They like raw meat
If you let them chew every day, they will keep their gums and teeth healthy.

12. Lightly support the heat
They really like it a lot. The winter, at the mouth of the stove or the radiator, are the happiest. This is explained by the fact that the ancestors of the felines were animals living in the desert.

13. Sweat through the spoon
So do not wonder if on warm summer days you will see wet dots of parchment on the floor. It's a sign that it's too hot and they need a little water.

14. Sterilization prolongs their lives
If you sterilize a cat, it prevents a lot of health problems and prolongs life for 2-3 years.

15. They spend almost half the day with the "toilet"
It is known that cats like to be clean and always lick their fur.
But you wondered how long I was doing this? All researchers have noticed that cats lose 30 to 50% of the day's toilet. The cleaning of the furnace has a lot of benefits: it helps to cool down, stimulates circulation, eliminates the smell that could attract "enemies".
