Chances are, if you’re reading this, that you consider yourself acat person.
So, without further ado, here are the false things that everyone believes about cats.
Myth: All cats naturally hate water
Have you ever given you cat a bath?
Turkish Vans have even been dubbed “the swimming cat” because they enjoy water so much.
That way, your feline friends will have everything they need to life a happy life.
However, according to veterinary health expertDr.
Gary Richter, milk is actually quite bad for our feline friends.
“Cats don’t need dairy milk, and the potential problems outweigh the potential benefits.”
see to it your cat has access to clean, fresh water, of which they need lots.
Pretty wild, huh?
According toBe Chewy, for every 80 orange tabbies, there are 20 female tabbies.
So what’s the mechanism at work here?
It all comes down to genetics.
That’s why is less common to find orange tabby girl cats.
These cats are usually sterile, too.
So, what’s the deal with cats, then?
Oh, and kittens and older cats tend to sleep more than adult cats.
Additionally, when cats sleep, they aren’t completely knocked out and dead to the world.
While it is true that some cats do have these personality traits, they’re by no means universal.
Additionally, cats are naturally social with one another, as perMerck’s Veterinary Manual.
Certainly how a cat is socialized is a factor, which is why some are more aloof than others.
Out in nature, however, cats co-exist quite nicely.
So, if not balance, then what?
What versatile and fascinating things whiskers are!
The good news is that absolutely none of this is true!
Cats aren’t a danger to babies, no matter what you may have heard.
Thank youHealthlinefor coming to the rescue on this one!
To avoid contracting cat sicknesses, practice good hygiene, and combat jealousy by respecting your cat’s space.
They could end up being best friends one day, so it’s all worth it!
However, just because a cat is purring doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re saturated in joy.
“All behavior depends on history, context and expectation,” he explained in a chat withWired.
Who knew purring was so multi-faceted?
Think of it like humans and cannabis; not everyoneenjoysthe stuff.
