Cat Myths Exposed

Cats are picky/finicky eaters.

Well, some are...but Merlin and Blondie will eat anything that's not chained down. Some of their recent taste testing included: lettuce, wasabi, corn on the cob, peanut butter cookies, lime yogurt and hummus. All met with approval.

cats are dignified and quiet.

Cats are clean, neat animals.

Well, most of the time this is true, but have you ever seen your mostly white cat go into a fireplace, and play in the soot?

Myth: Cats are graceful

Fact: Cats are just as clumsy as the rest of us. Cj falls off something at least once a day. Off the window sill, off the couch, off the bed, off the back of the toliet, into the kitchen sink, etc. He also has a talent for running into things, walls, bags of trash, the bathtub, etc. Chances are if something goes bump in the night, its cj.

Myth: cats use their whiskers to judge spaces that are too small.

Fact: well, OK, I can't disprove this as myth, it might be true, all I know is that one of my cats has a habit of trying to squeeze into spaces that are too small for her:



She also presses her face against the vertical bars on my kitchen chairs, and if she would turn her head a little to the side, it would go through and she'd be stuck!!

Myth: Cats have very small Brains and dont know right from wrong.................

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhHHHHHHHHHH so NOT true cats are so intellegent, infact they outwhit most humans......... so whos the thick ones.





Myth: Cats can't be trained


Ok!!! I might get an argument here but cats are great to train!!! I can tell Amber to sit, go to bed, lay down, dead(stop playing) and to go to the toilet. And it was all training. Angel is the runt of her litter so shes a little slower but believe me shes getting the hang of it.
