Five MORE Fun Cat Facts!

We had a lot of fun with our first instalment of Fun Cat Facts, so we thought we would pop back in with Five MORE Fun Cat Facts!



1- A house cat can jump up to five times it's own height in a single bound.  If humans could do this, it would mean the average man could jump nearly 29 feet from a standing position!


2- A group of cats is called a "clowder."

3- Cats can hear better than dogs. A cat hears high-frequency sounds up to 2 octaves higher than a person.

4- Generally, a cat will have 12 whiskers on each side of its face.

5- The cheetah is the only feline that doesn't sheath its claws when it is at rest.
