7 interesting facts about cats

New video from BuzzFeed - 7 interesting facts about cats, which are partially lift the veil of mystery, why cats rule the world :)

№1 fact. Purr. Males may alter the vibration of his purr in order to manipulate their hosts. For example, they have an option, "feed me."

№2 fact. And again, purring. Cats purr at a frequency that can help in strengthening the bones. Maybe that's why so many elderly cats? :)

№3 fact. Bartonella henselae. Cats are the natural reservoir for Bartonella bacteria, which is responsible for the fact that cats scratch badly hurt and heal for a long time (sometimes up to two months!). Therefore, if you cat is badly scratched, the urgent need to wash and disinfect the wound!

№4 fact. Odor. When the little kittens, they need a benchmark in order to find the mother's belly. Also cats crumple on their hosts in order to mark them. This is not the same version as the marked area, but still. They release their scent through the pads on their feet.

№5 fact. And once again about the flavor.

№6 fact. Taste buds. Cats do not feel the sweet taste. They prefer to eat meat.

№7 fact. Greeting. If a cat comes to meet you with a raised tail and slightly curved tip, which means that he respects you.

I'd like to make a reservation to the effect that some of the facts are a little dated, although the research is still ongoing.

For example, the fact that cats do not distinguish the taste sweet. On the one hand, they do prefer food in which the maximum content of protein and minimum carbohydrate content, and do not eat sweet, which is quite unusual for mammals. But on the other hand, the cats themselves refute this conclusion. My cat is with great pleasure drags the table sweet pancakes, when no one sees, and eats them with no less pleasure. Côte girlfriend loves watermelon. Of course, if the offer pancakes and meat, Linus choose meat, but it is possible that decides to bite pancakes;)
