A male cat is called a tom, a female
cat is called a molly or queen and
the young ones are called kittens.
Cats have amazing nocturnal
vision. They can see at light levels
six times lower than what a human
needs to see.
05 Cats have 32 muscles that control
their outer ear, while humans have
only 6. A cat can independently
rotate its ears 180 degrees.
06 A cat cannot climb head first down a
tree because every claw on its paw
points the same way. To get down
from a tree, a cat must back down.
07 A cat’s brain is biologically more
similar to a human brain that it is
to a dog’s brain. Both cats and
humans possess identical areas in
the brain that govern emotions.
