I was so stupid not to schedule posts for the week and I’m really tired. So here are just some simple facts. I promise not to let you guys down again, haha!
- The technical term for a cat’s hairball is a “bezoar”.
- A cat can’t climb head first down a tree because every claw on a cat’s paw points the same way. To get down from a tree, a cat must back down.
- A cat can travel at a top speed of about 31 mph (49 km) over a short distance.
- he little tufts of hair in a cat’s ear that help keep out dirt direct sounds into the ear, and insulate the ears are called “ear furnishings.”
- A female cat is called a queen or a molly.
- The claws on the cat’s back paws aren’t as sharp as the claws on the front paws because the claws in the back don’t retract and, consequently, become worn.
- The average cat food meal is equal to about five mice.
- Baking chocolate is the most dangerous chocolate to your cat.
- Mother cats teach their kittens to use the litter box.
- A tortoiseshell is black with red or orange markings and a calico is white with patches of red, orange and black.

49km/hr – I think Pixels is already reaching that, pretty much all the time
In terms of a mother cat teaching kittens to use a litter tray, the thing that amazes me most is the kittens from feral moms, who have come into my house at 4 weeks of age and immediately used the litter tray. No accidents. Maybe Mom was just teaching them to use sand?
I never thought of that, good point LLCD!
I think you’re right, mom-cat may teach the kitties to use the sand? Sounds the most reasonable option here!
Maybe worth a post?
Need to brainstorm on it!
Just take some rest, Dianda, we’ll be here when you’re back
It’s good to know what people will still be here, even if I didn’t post for a few days.
Never heard of anyone I know give chocolate to a cat!!!!
If I would know someone who gave chocolat to their cat. I would smack them in the face! — Okay, not really smack them in the face, but you know what I mean?
that’s so funny – I think JK Rowlings used the word “bezoar” in one of the Harry Potter books – it was in potions class, I think. now I know! thanks
I remember that too now that you mention it!
Dianda, we all love your posts, but don’t fret about not giving us anything for a while. We’ll just keep looking forward to your next one.
Thank you, Sid! Glad to have dedicated followers.
I too thought of Harry Potter books and potions class.
