The return of the lazy cat. Did you know?

Last week, I've visited my aunt, we are planning a birthday party for my mom and dad and it is a surprise party, so we need to plan everything without them. I've spent a lot of my childhood here and I'm always happy when I come to visit her. She lives in a beautiful town with so much nature, so her cats are always outside and chilling on the sun. That was some perfect moment to take some pictures of this beauty. I just need to say, she is a real model, she didn’t move at all :)

I lived my whole life surrendered with cats, but because of moving into an apartment, we decided that dog is enough. I miss cats, and I'm sure if we ever buy a house, we will have 3 cats and 2 dogs 😊
I know, we know everything about cats, but up and then comes something new, that maybe I didn’t know.

So, let see 😊

The most popular pedigreed cat is the Persian cat, followed by the Main Coon cat and the Siamese cat.

On average, cats spend 2/3 of every day sleeping. That means a nine-year-old cat has been awake for only three years of its life.

One reason that kittens sleep so much is that a growth hormone is released only during sleep.

Cats have a longer-term memory than dogs, especially when they learn by actually doing rather than simply seeing. Basically, cats have a lower social IQ than dogs but can solve more difficult cognitive problems when they feel like it.

They recently found a pet cat in a 9,500-year-old grave on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus.

The oldest cat on record was Crème Puff from Austin, Texas, who lived from 1967 to August 6, 2005, three days after her 38th birthday. A cat typically can live up to 20 years, which is equivalent to about 96 human years.

Cats can drink seawater but they can't taste sweetness.

Want to know something sad? :(

Every year, nearly four million cats are eaten in Asia ( ok I didn’t want to know that. I'm in shock now )

During the time of the Spanish Inquisition, Pope Innocent VIII condemned cats as evil and thousands of cats were burned.

During the Middle Ages, cats were associated with witchcraft, and on St. John’s Day, people all over Europe would stuff them into sacks and toss the cats into bonfires. On holy days, people celebrated by tossing cats from church towers.

The first cat in space was a French cat named Felicette (a.k.a. “Astrocat”) In 1963, France blasted the cat into outer space. Electrodes implanted in her brains sent neurological signals back to Earth. She survived the trip.
No more sad facts!

Cats are really amazing animals and they make our life easier, just like dogs, and I'm sure they will be soon in my company again.
