Five Fantastic Facts You never knew you didn't want to know About Cats

By Andrew Zimmerly

● Ailurophilia is the "love of cats."
● A cat's heart beats twice as fast
as a human heart, at 110 to 140
beats per minute.
● A cat's normal body
temperature is 101.5 degrees.
This is slightly warmer than a
humans.
● The Giraffe, Camel and Cat are
the only animals that walk by
moving both their left feet, then
both their right feet, when
walking.
● Cats wag their tails when it is in
a stage of conflict. The cat
wants to do two things at once,
but each impulse blocks the
other. For example: If your cat
is in the doorway wanting to go
outside, and you open the door
to find it raining, the cat's tail will
wag because of internal conflict.
The cat wants to go outside,
but doesn't want to go into the
rain. Once the cat makes a
decision and either returns to
the house or leaves into the
rain, the tail will immediately
stop wagging.
