What do we know about our pets?

1. The average lifespan of wild cats is much less than that of domestic cats and is about 5 years.

2. One cat in Argentina lived in a tree for six years, where she brought several litters of kittens.

3. Body temperature in cats is almost the same as in humans – 38 degrees.

4. People who have a cat at home are less prone to heart attacks and, on average, live longer than those who do not have a cat.

5. Cats hate the smell of citrus. This is used to create tools that discourage crap in certain places or sharpen claws.
