1. CATS CAN HEAL BONES

A cat’s sense of smell is 14 times – yes, 14 times! – more sensitive and stronger than humans.

Cats can run at 30 mph or 48 kph which is faster than gold-winning 100 meter world record champion Usain Bolt.

On average, cats spend around 2/3 of their days sleeping. To give you an idea, a nine-year old cat has been awake for three years of its life. 


5. CATS ARE VOCAL

Cats can make over 100 different sounds, whereas dogs make around 10.
