Wildlife Documentary / The Cat😍 (Video)

Here are some interesting facts about cats:

1. History of Cats
   Cats were domesticated around 9,500 years ago in the Middle East. Their first interaction with humans dates back to when they entered villages to hunt mice and protect crops.

2. Strong Senses

• Vision: Cats have extremely strong vision at night, about 6 times better than humans! This helps them in hunting.

• Hearing: Cats can detect high-frequency sounds that many animals, and even humans, cannot hear.

• Smell: A cat's sense of smell is also stronger than that of humans.

3. Body Language
   Cats express their emotions and desires through their tail, ears, eyes, and sounds like meowing:

• Tail up: Indicates happiness and confidence.

• Tail twitching: Means the cat is very happy or excited.

• Ears back: A sign of fear or anger.

4. Lifespan and Growth
   Domestic cats usually live between 12 and 15 years, but some can live up to 20 years. A cat grows as fast as a 15-year-old human during its first year!

5. Special Behaviors

• Why do cats knead? This behavior (pressing paws on a soft surface) is a reminder of their kittenhood and nursing from their mother.

• Why do they purr? Purring can indicate contentment, relaxation, or even pain relief.

6. Cats and Sleep
   Cats love sleeping and can sleep between 12 and 16 hours a day! This habit is because they need to conserve energy for hunting (even domestic cats).

7. Fun Facts

• Cats can rotate their bodies when falling, so they land on their feet.

• Cats use their whiskers to measure spaces and detect obstacles.

• Unlike dogs, cats love cleanliness and spend hours each day grooming themselves.
