First of all, I must say that 'cat' in Malaysia can mean something else, because in Bahasa Malaysia, it is pronounced as 'chat' and it means 'paint'! It is small wonder some of our students get confused over spelling.The cat lover is an ailurophile, while a cat hater is an ailurophobe. But I don't think such a question will be set in the school examinations, but cool to show off to some friends. Maybe, it is useful to know how to spell them, in case you are taking part in a spelling competition, as shown on television lately.
The biggest member of the cat family is the male lion, which weighs 528 pounds (240 kilograms). I actually dislike description like this because it is too precise in weight... are we to expect every male lion to weigh exactly 528 pounds?
Cats respond most readily to names that end in an "ee" sound. Now we know why names like 'Kitty' and 'Cutie' are common. I wonder if they actually test the names before they are given. Our Kitty comes to me when she smells my cooking, no need to call. I can be as stealthy as possible hoping to eat in peace, yet it would not escape her sense of smell.
A cat cannot see directly under its nose. This is why the cat cannot seem to find tidbits on the floor. I used to think our Kitty was blind before reading this part. This picture seems to disprove the above information, but I would take it as true.
Cat's urine glows under a black light. I don't really know what is meant by black light... maybe someone out there can enlighten us.
Cats have more than one hundred vocal sounds, while dogs only have about ten. Now we know why they can be so irritating to some people, especially when about to mate. I have to dig out that video clip which someone sent me.
