29. The sound of relaxation
Hearing your cat purr like a machine working in sync is a fantastic feeling. If we’d put it in words, it’s simply satisfying. It becomes even better when they arch their little bodies and start purring without taking a break!
Other than being happy and satisfied, purring has many other meanings. They also purr to communicate with each other and cool themselves down when stressed. The steady purring pattern seems to really calm them down, just like it does for us!
30. Landing
Cats are renowned for their safe landings when they jump (or fall) from tremendous heights. They always seem to land on all fours and walk it off with grace like nothing ever happened. This talent is possible because they have extra vertebrae in their spine, which results in a suppleness that also allows them to land safely.
Cats have this ability since birth, and they become masters at it by the age of six-to-seven weeks. So, cats have light bodies and bones with matted fur, and they also have a sense of balance as good as any professional gymnast.
31. Ear communication
Like some other animals, cats use their ears to communicate. In fact, sometimes cats have markings on their ears to help with communication. But, regardless of coat color, cats move their ears to express things like nervousness. This can be seen when a cat starts to twitch its ears to and fro.
If their ears point straight forward, it indicates that they’re happy and content. Similarly, if a cat’s ears are flat against the head or pointing backward, it means that it’s annoyed and scared. That also means that it’s time to take action because it could mean that they could be warning about danger.
32. Time to graze
Our mothers used to say that cats know precisely about the medicines they’d need when they’re sick. We aren’t talking about the drugs available at the pharmacy; we’re talking about nature. But, what’s the medicinal property of grass? Especially since cats seem to eat it with such disgust.
The thing is that cats use grass as a method of self-purging if they’re facing digestive problems. Plus, almost all grass species have folic acid, which is a critical part of a cat’s diet. So, if your cat is grazing a bit, make sure that the grass is fresh.
