Cats are cute, well-behaved and full of intelligence, so they are deeply loved by everyone. People who love cats even call themselves cat slaves or shit collectors. If you love cats, are you a cat lover? And how much do you know about cats? Let me tell you some things you don’t know about cats.

1. In Asia, nearly 4 million cats are eaten every year.

2. Cats spend an average of 2/3 sleeping every day. This means that a 9-year-old cat has only been awake for three years.

3. Unlike dogs, cats don’t like sweets. Scientists believe this is due to a mutation in a key taste receptor.

4. When a cat is chasing prey, it will keep its head level. The heads of dogs and humans move up and down.

5. Female cats tend to like to use their right paw, while male cats tend to use their left paw. Interestingly, 90% of humans are right-handed, and the remaining 10% of left-handers are often male.

6. A cat cannot climb down from a tree with its head down. To get down from a tree, the cat must climb down in the same posture as it climbed up.

7. Cats can make about 100 different sounds. There are only about 10 kinds of dog sounds.

8. A cat’s brain is more similar to a human brain than a dog’s. Humans and cats have the same areas of the brain responsible for emotions.

9. There are more than 5 million domestic cats in the world, with about 40 varieties. 10. About 24 cat skins can be used to make a coat.

10. Hearing is more sensitive than that of dogs. Cats can hear high-frequency sounds two octaves higher than humans.

11. Cats can run and accelerate to a top speed of 31 miles per hour (49 kilometers per hour) in a short period of time.

12. The claws on the hind legs are not as sharp as the claws on the front legs, because the claws on the hind legs cannot be retracted, so they will wear out over time.

13. The jumping height can reach 5 times of your own height.

14. Their ability to survive falls from more than 65 feet (20 meters) is largely due to their "righting reflex." The cat's eyes and inner ear balance organ tell it where it is in the air, so the cat can land on its feet. Even cats without tails have this ability.
