1. Cats can't taste sweetness

Unlike humans and dogs, cats don't have taste receptors for sweetness. This is due to a genetic mutation that affects their taste buds, making them unable to detect sugar in their food.

2. Cats have a third eyelid

Known as the nictitating membrane, this third eyelid is a thin, translucent film that helps protect and lubricate the eye. It's more visible when a cat is unwell or experiencing eye irritation.

3. Cats can be right-pawed or left-pawed

Similar to human handedness, cats show a preference for using one paw over the other. Studies have found that female cats tend to be right-pawed, while males are more often left-pawed.

4. Purring has healing properties

Cats' purrs have a frequency between 25 and 150 Hertz, which is believed to promote tissue regeneration and healing. This means that when a cat is purring, it may not only be expressing contentment but also healing itself.

5. Cats can recognize their owner's voice

Although they might not always respond, studies have shown that cats can distinguish their owner's voice from a stranger's. They're more likely to react to their owner's voice, even if they don't always come running when called.
