Redacted old post

in cats •  7 years ago 

The group of words associated with cat (catt, cath, chat, katze) stem from the Latin catus, meaning domestic cat, as opposed to feles, or wild cat.

Thumbs up

In 1888, more than 300,000 mummified cats were found an Egyptian cemetery. They were stripped of their wrappings and carted off to be used by farmers in England and the U.S. for fertilizer.

That's crazy

A cat's jaw has only up and down motion; it does not have any lateral, side to side motion, like dogs and humans.

Didn't know that.

Cats have 32 muscles that control the outer ear (humans have only 6). A cat can independently rotate its ears 180 degrees.
