After spending years with your cat, you may think you know everything there is to know about her. But here are 10 things that your favorite feline may not have gotten around to sharing with you.

1. A domestic cat can run about 31 mph. Running fast is something usually attributed to wild cats, gazelles and greyhounds, but your house kitty is pretty speedy.

2. It is possible for every kitten in a litter to have a different father. Hopefully, she is spayed so there's no risk of an unexpected pregnancy.

3. Cats walk on their toes, which probably accounts for their graceful movements. In ballet there is a step called pas de chat -- the cat step. It's a little jump to the side, but in truth nearly every move your cat makes is lovely.

Zootoo Review – 5 Products to Care for Home-Alone Cats

This article is from Paw Nation

Filed under: Cats, Pet Product Reviews

Although many felines seem to have proudly independent personalities, owners can still help their cats stay happy and healthy while they're away from home.

Whether you're working long hours at the office or heading out of town for the weekend, a few additions to your house can keep your cats active and fit when you're gone. Our friends at Zootoo rounded up some of their favorite products to care for cats home alone.

To keep your cat hydrated, offer water that is continuously flowing and filtered with the Drinkwell 360 Fountain for Pets. This quiet, sturdy fountain has a 1-gallon capacity, and for households with more than one feline, separate streams help keep cats from fighting for access to the water. The Drinkwell 360 is also available in a stainless steel model for cats with plastic allergies.


To keep cat urine odors out of your house while you're gone -- and minimize cleanup when you return -- try the Automatic Self-Cleaning Litter Box from ScoopFree. Featuring a convenient disposable litter tray and a guard against oversprays and leaks, the ScoopFree litter box automatically rakes the litter shortly after your cat has used it, clearing away waste into a covered compartment and leaving behind a fresh tray of litter.
