Fascinating Facts About Cats

Cats can rotate their ears 180 degrees and have 32 muscles controlling each ear.

They spend up to 70 percent of their lives sleeping, which means a nine year old cat has

been awake for only three years. Their purring frequency between 25 and 150 Hertz can actually

promote bone healing and reduce pain. Cats have a third eyelid called a nictitating membrane

that protects their eyes. They can jump up to six times their length and their

whiskers are exactly as wide as their body to help them judge if they can fit through tight

spaces.
