Got a cat? While you probably know lots about your furry feline, we bet there are some fantastically fun facts you don’t know…
1. Ambidexer-Cat?
You probably never thought about a cat as being either left- or right-pawed, but over 40 percent are either lefties or righties. That means there’s quite a few out there who are ambidextrous. Luckily for them, they can probably operate the can opener with both paws…

+ add your owni love all the awesome cat facts
I learned a few things, thanks. I'm still not sure about their color vision -- I thought cats could see primarily only blues and yellows.
Thanks for sharing
Those were interesting, thanks!
Fun facts - thanks.
so much more to learn after all these years ... i really appreciate all these facts Nicolas!
Over the years I have often heard neighbor cats as they travel across my rural property meowing. In fact I can hear them coming from some distance. My inside cats respond by going to the windows. This is often accompanied by lots of growling by my kitty kids. I thought this meowing or sometimes caterwauling was one means of attracting potential mates. I also observed a strange mourning ritual about a year ago when three feral cats showed up here at about the same time. In the process of trying to trap them I found the little black female dead. I had seen her with the most pitiful matted creature I had ever seen, sometimes curled up together. This poor kitty was licking her little body and crying in the most pitiable voice. Two other male cats were seated nearby. One feral, the other belonging to a neighbor. I waited until the next mourning to bury her taking advantage of
the opportunity to put some cat food nearby. This cat was near my pickup for several days and I could hear his mournful cry for many days afterwards. It broke my heart. It took me over a year but I was finally able to trap the other male who has become quite a sweet guy after neutering. I continued to try to feed the other but found I was often feeding other wild creatures or the neighborhood cats. Thank you for all the interesting cat info! I love my seven cats; five were ferals and they make the best friends.
Thank you Nicolas :)
