- There are approximately 60,000 hairs per square inch on the back of a cat and about 120,000 per square inch on its underside.
- The largest litter ever documented was produced by a Burmese/Siamese mother. There were 19 kittens in the litter.
- Besides smelling with their noses, cats can smell with an additional organ called the vomeronasal organ (or Jacobson’s organ), located in the upper surface of the mouth
- Sir Isaac Newton is credited with the invention of the cat flap-door.
- Cat’s ears can be rotated because they are connected to thirty (30) muscles. There are only six (6) muscles connecting human ears – we can’t rotate ours. [More info on the cat's ears]

Hard to believe, but your cat’s ears contain over two dozen muscles, enabling them to do an Exorcist-like 180-degree swivel forward, backward, up and down. Although they pan around like radar dishes scanning for sounds, they’re not just for hearing.
Like the telltale tail, the ears are a vital part of the cat’s body language, and proper interpretation can help you better understand Fluffy’s moods and in some cases, keep you safe from injury.
The Relaxed Cat
Normally, a relaxed cat’s ears will point slightly to the side and slightly forward as shown in Figure 1 above. This indicates contentment and sense of well-being. She’s neither fearful nor aggressive.
The Alert and Interested Cat
When your cat is alert and something has captured her interest, her ears will assume a straight-up orientation, and a forward posture as in Figure 2. She’ll usually greet you with ears erect, offering a friendly greeting.
The Nervous Cat
If your cat’s ears are twitching, she’s agitated and nervous, as shown in Figure 3. This might be a cue to offer her reassurance and a safe embrace. Persistent twitching could be a sign of a medical problem.
Signs of Aggression
A cat’s ears moving from a forward posture to a backward posture indicates increased aggression. A cat’s ears moving from an upright position to a full horizontal position indicates increased fear, annoyance, or submissiveness — a warning for you to leave her alone. If you notice that your cat’s ear are maintaining a horizontal orientation on a regular basis, she could have an ear infection or ear mites, and a trip to the vet is warranted.
Attack Mode
When the ears flatten against the head in a defensive position as in Figure 4, your cat is frightened and may attack. She instinctively keeps her ears flat against her head in attack mode to protect her ears from claws and teeth during a fight.
Ears that are pointing backward somewhere between the “alert” and “defensive” positions indicate an aggressive cat who may attack.
Understanding when a cat might attack can save you from injury. When the ears are back (the telltale sign of aggression), you should never try to touch or pick up a cat because you’re at high risk of being bitten or scratched — injuries that could require hospitalization.
The Ambivalent Cat
The cat’s ears are also able to move independently of one another. When they’re in different positions, the cat is ambivalent and unsure of how to respond. She’s likely to withdraw to assess the situation. As she does so, her ears may shift as they interpret stimuli and consider how to react.
When you understand both a cat’s “tail language” and “ear language,” you’re well-equipped to interpret what even the least vocal feline is trying to say.

Feline body language is universal and cats around the globe use it to express their every mood. Your cat’s tail is like a big old apostrophe at the end of her body that puts a fine point on affection, aggression, fear and happiness.
One of the most primal tail movements is the violent back-and-forth swish, sometimes called a Sword Tail. Whether it’s a wild cat stalking a zebra, or a housecat stalking a gopher, she’ll swish her tail to prompt the prey to move, which allows the cat to zero in for the attack. In the house, either leave her be until she relaxes, or toss her a toy to attack. It’s usually not a good idea to pick her up when she’s in “swish mode”, because the object of her attack will likely be you.
You also don’t want to mess with your cat when her tail is in a position of defensive aggression. In this orientation, the tail is lowered, but the tip is curved upward. This indicates that something has attracted her attention, and she is very nervous, defensive, and unsure of her surroundings. If you try to pick her up, she may attack.
A happy cat holds her tail high, and if she greets you at the door with her tail quivering, she’s happy to see you. That’s the time you want to shower her  with affection.
If you’re introducing a new cat into your home, reading your cats’ “tail language” can be helpful in breaking up fights before they start. You don’t want to pick up the aggressor at this point, but a few squirts with a squirt gun can persuade him to beat a retreat.
A tail is a perfect extension of feline expression. There’s poetry in the way a contented cat will artfully wrap her tail around her, or in the way a Balinese will proudly strut her tail like a flame behind her.
Cats even use their tails when asleep. The flicking tail on your snoozing Snowshoe? She’s dreaming of her life as a mighty lion on the Serengeti, stalking a wildebeest.

Episodes of Housecat Housecall will air over a 12-week period on Saturdays at 10:30a.m. E/P with weekly “encores” each Sunday at 8a.m. E/P beginning June 6th.
 Cats have once again solidified their position as America ’s favorite pets by proving that a show dedicated entirely to their well-being can successfully break through the canine-dominated television world. Housecat Housecall, one of the first feline reality-based programs, is returning to Animal Planet on June 6 for a second season after capturing the hearts and minds of cat-loving audiences around the country.
The weekly show, presented by Purina Cat Chow, profiles cat-owning families as they work with host Dr. Katrina Warren, BVSc, and her expert team, which includes Purina Cat Chow Mentor and Board Certified Veterinary Behaviorist Dr. Karen Sueda, DVM , and Dr. Rich Goldstein, DVM, to resolve their most pressing feline matters. From unruly behavior to lifestyle adjustments, Housecat Housecall features real cats, real people and real veterinarians working through a wide range of common cat behaviors.
 “Housecat Housecall provides cat owners with valuable cat care information that they can apply to their own relationships with their feline friends ultimately helping them live a more connected life together,” said Dr. Katrina Warren, BVSc. “For the series, we profile twelve families dealing with a broad range of real-life kitty concerns in an effort to relate to as many cat owners as possible. We are excited to bring the show back for a second season and provide even more cat owners with actionable solutions for bringing harmony back to their households.”
Episodes of Housecat Housecall will air over a 12-week period on Saturdays at 10:30a.m. E/P with weekly “encores” each Sunday at 8a.m. E/P beginning June 6th. In each episode, Dr. Katrina visits two cat-owning homes, observes the cats in their natural environment and recommends appropriate plans of action for improving the situation.
Covering everything from quirky cats with a lot of energy to more complex matters like helping a once outdoor cat adjust to its new indoor lifestyle, Housecat Housecall gives cat owners the knowledge and tools they need to create a well-balanced home life for the whole family, including the cat. The show recognizes that cats can exhibit lots of behaviors that add to their unique charm, but when the antics move from endearing to challenging, then it’s time to bring in the professionals. Led by Dr. Katrina, the seasoned team of cat experts on the show relies on tried-and-true methods for enabling cat owners to work towards the solution that’s best for them in the long-term, and not just the one that will offer the quickest resolution.
 “The second season of Housecat Housecall really takes an in-depth look at very important questions that current and potential cat owners face on a daily basis,” said Dr. Katrina. “Life-changing experiences like having a new baby or being diagnosed with cancer can have a huge impact on cat owners, but these events can also mean big changes for their cats. Our goal for Housecat Housecall is to help cat owners work through any perceived challenges, so they can realize the true joy of having feline companions and experience the power of unconditional love. We know that cats and their owners can help each other live a better life if given a chance.”
For cat owners seeking even more credible advice beyond the show, they can visit www.housecathousecall.com to find practical solutions for their individual feline situations. The website allows cat owners to share stories about their own quirky felines and gives them access to Purina Cat Chow Mentors, cat care specialists who are available to share helpful advice any day of the week, at any time. The site also provides show information, bios on the families and episode air dates.

 Last week’s Catster poll was “Declawing. What are your thoughts?”
I’ll spare you the declawing screed, and segue straight in to 8 steps you can take to render declawing unnecessary.
I’ve always felt that people who are too fussy about their “things” should maybe rethink having pets or kids. When hubby and I first consolidated our households and his nice leather sofas came to live with us, I was in a dither over whether or not the cats would shred them to pieces.
I needn’t have worried. Whether it was because the material wasn’t appealing to the cats as a scratching post, or because they were enticed by better alternatives, the sofas have survived unscathed. Yours can, too. Here are a few tips on how to win the battle of the scratchers.
1] Provide a sturdy untippable scratching post
 Fluffy is unlikely to use a scratching post that tips over on her. The post you select should be strong and stable. Cheapo single-post scratchers with small bases are likely to be pulled back on top of your cat when she gets a really good scratch going, at which point she’s unlikely to use it again. PurrFect Posts are good examples of well-engineered scratching posts that won’t fall back on top of your cat.
Our cats have a couple of cat trees that are supported by four scratching-post columns. They’re impossible to tip, and they’re the favorite scratchers of three of our four cats.
2] Select a scratcher that fits your cat’s preferred scratching orientation.
Some cats prefer vertical surfaces; others prefer horizontal. Slanted 45-degree scratchers are also available. If your cat doesn’t take to one, try another orientation. Sprinkling the surface with catnip can entice them to use a new scratcher.
3] Find a scratching material that your cat likes.
Like orientation, cats also have preferences when it come to the scratching surface. Sisal, cedar, carpet and cardboard are the most common materials used in making scratchers. Sisal rope is easy and inexpensive to replace when it gets ratty. Even better, sisal material (looks like carpet) withstands years of scratching while still looking good as new, although you’ll pay a premium for it. Some cats will only scratch wood, in which case a wood-based scratcher is best. Cardboard scratchers are extremely popular with my cats. If you have multiple cats, an assortment of materials will ensure that everyone’s happy.
4] Is your post tall enough?
Generally, a scratching post should be tall enough for your cat to stretch out fully when scratching, since scratching and stretching go together. Unless your cat is extremely small, your post should be at least 28-inches high. Higher is better, but make sure it can’t tip when used.
5] Do you have enough scratchers?
Cats don’t just scratch to keep their nails in shape; they also mark their territory through scent glands in their paws when they scratch. If you have multiple cats or a large home, you need more than a single scratcher in the back bedroom. Distribute them throughout the house. And, if a scratcher is not getting used, try relocating it.
6] Consider nail caps
Nail caps (like SoftPaws) are a miracle solution to the scratching problem.  They allow cats to continue scratching behavior with no damage done to the scratching surfaces.
Developed by a veterinarian, nail caps are small soft plastic tips that fit over Fluffy’s nails. They are super-glued on. Honestly, unless your cat is very placid, it’s easier to have a groomer apply the caps. It’s not difficult to do, but in my experience, it requires two people – one to hold the cat, and one to apply the caps. When finished, the cat must be held still for at least ten minutes while the glue dries (an Elizabethan collar helps with this phase). Once dry, the caps will stay in place for about six weeks. Bonus: they come in fanciful colors as well as clear. DO NOT put nail caps on cats who go outdoors, since, like declawing, it leaves them defenseless.
Nail caps are especially good for reducing the incidence of injuries from cat scratches. If you have young children and/or your cat tends to play rough, nail caps ensure that you’ll make fewer ER visits.
 7] Deter scratching with tapes and sprays.
There are tapes (Paws Away, for example) that specifically deter cats from scratching sofas, stereo speakers and other furniture. Cats hate the sticky surface, and avoid taped areas.
Herbal sprays like No Scratch can also act as a deterrent.
8] Try Feliway to reduce the urge to scratch.
Feliway uses calming, analogue pheromones (structurally similar to feline facial pheromones) to reduce instinctive urges to mark and scratch. Click here for info on how to get a free sample and a coupon for $10 off a Feliway diffuser.

Rabies always seemed to be a remote, old-fashioned threat to me, a scary relic from movies like Old Yeller or Cujo, but not something I’d encounter in my own neighborhood. Unfortunately, rabies in cats is on the rise (and cats fall victim to the disease more often than dogs), and this is not only a threat to your pets, but to you and your family as well.A number of recent stories warn of the danger, and it’s important that you understand the symptoms EARLY. When your cat begins to exhibit symptoms, the disease can be transmitted by saliva. You need not be bitten to contract the disease. Rabies can be transmitted through a wound, scratch or abrasion when it comes in contact with the saliva of a rabid animal, and through a scratch inflicted by an animal if fresh saliva is on the nail of the animal that inflicts the scratch.
After a cat has become infected with the virus, it takes two to six weeks for the virus to travel from the bite site to the nerves to the brain, then to the salivary glands where it can be spread through a bite. Once the virus has infected the brain, the cat will exhibit recognizable symptoms of rabies, which may include the following:
- At first (one to two days after reaching the brain), an erratic fever as well as nervousness, solitude, and anxiety.
- In the next stage (the “furious” phase), cats become irritable, aggressive, even furious, and will hiss without provocation. The cat will become sensitive to being touched and a normally friendly cat can become very shy.
- The last stage of the disease is the “paralytic stage,” during which parts of their bodies will become numb and paralyzed. Animals may make a choking sound and many owners think that there is something lodged in their throats. Cats will salivate because of their inability to swallow. A dropped jaw, labored breathing, and choking follows. Cats usually get weaker after this stage, their respiratory systems give up, and they eventually die.
Once symptoms present, the cat will die within ten days. There is no cure. In some locales, non-vaccinated animals who are exposed to rabies (not necessarily bitten, but exposed) are euthanized immediately.
Prevention
Keep your vaccinations up to date. Many locales mandate rabies vaccinations. Discuss with your veterinarian whether your indoors-only cat(s) should be vaccinated. Usually, they should. Indoor cats are vulnerable if they go missing, and even in city dwellings it is possible for rabies-infected animals (like bats) to find their way into homes and apartments. If that happens, your cat is likely to pursue the infected animal and risk being infected herself.
If you’re a victim of our current economic woes and cannot afford to keep your pets’ vaccinations current, contact your local SPCA to inquire about low-cost or free vaccination clinics.

Janet Roper, Animal Communicator, with her horse, Shiloh
Dr. Doolittle isn’t the only one wishing he could talk to the animals. It’s natural for people to want to communicate with their cherished pets. Today, we have a guest writer, Bonnie Koenig, from Samammish, Washington. Recently, Bonnie won a writing contest, the prize for which was an hour-long teleparty with animal communicator Janet Roper. Bonnie invited four friends, and in an exclusive to The Cat’s Meow, reports on the teleparty:
Ever considered having an animal communicator talk to your pet? I entered a writing contest about a conversation I had with my cat on Talk 2 the Animals and won first place. This meant that I and five of my friends got to have an hour long teleparty with Janet Roper, the animal communicator behind Talk to the Animals.
Janet was very flexible with her times and we were able to set up a time that was good for everyone, despite being spread out through several US time zones. We were supplied with some things to think about for questions and offered some sample issues that get discussed with pets.
 We each needed to provide a detailed description of our pet to enable Janet to get in touch with them. She describes that as being akin to knowing someone’s phone number before you can talk to them. There might be many Geminis but there is likely only one Gemini who is 4 years old who is a long hair brown tabby with big round green eyes.
Janet asked if any of us had any experience with animal communication before (we hadn’t) and then gave us a brief overview of what to expect. Animals are always communicating with us. It’s just that often we don’t understand what they’re trying to tell us.
After the intro, we each got about 8 minutes to ask a question or two of a pet. I was astounded at the wisdom introduced by each pet.
Each of the others in the party had pets that were clearly recognizable to me. My friend Elizabeth is the adoring mother to a dog that loves to be pampered and loved.  loves being held close to the chest and understands that she is a marvelous dog who is the center of the universe. I suspect she believes this because Liz believes this wholeheartedly.
One cat–Abbie (right)–had some issues with an upcoming cross-country move and Janet was able to offer some insight into the stress surrounding this and also suggested what to say to Abbie to reassure her as the move progressed.
Another cat–a tuxie named Bert–had issues that stemmed from a bad experience at the the vet. Janet provided insight into what he’s feeling, and suggested what to do to  help him overcome his issues: trying reiki and touch therapy.
Latte’s conversation with Lauren was a testament to the truth behind the cuteness of every cat blog. Latte (right) described himself exactly as I would have pictured him.
I didn’t see my own cat, Gemini (below, left), so clearly. In the conversation I wanted to better understand why she was so timid. But who was this little cat that we talked to? She was peaceful? And only as timid as she felt she should be?  She’s terrified of everything! And what is this about being the cat who supports my old kitty in her dying days? But as I reflected on it, I can see this in Gemini. Cheysuli is a very sensitive cat and I can see that she wouldn’t want the burden of having to support Georgia too far into her process of dying. Cheysuli gets quite distressed when Georgia has a bad day. Gemini can be there and be much more flexible about things.
Gemini was described as peaceful and sure of herself. As I watch her box the other cats around I realize that yes, she may be timid around people but she is very certain of herself with the other cats. She knows where she fits in.
At the end, we were all able to discuss anything that popped out for us. I was supplied with an audio link within two hours of the call in case I’d forgotten anything or wanted to listen again.
I got thank you’s from the participants and commentary on the food for thought that came up for all of us and our pets. Most of the pets decided to hang out with their humans after the teleparty, as if now the lines of communication were open and they didn’t want them to close.

Recently I read the Pet’s Ten Commandments at PetsHealth.com, and was touched by the list. I think a lot of “passive” animal cruelty (not giving pets the love and attention they crave, which can result in behavior problems) could be avoided if all pet owners understood that they’re not “just cats.” Cats and dogs (and other pets) are sentient beings with as rich an emotional life as you or I, and they need our love, care and approval just as they need food, water and air. Here are the Pet’s Ten Commandments:
 My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Please understand that any separation from you is likely to be painful.
- Give me time to understand what you want of me.
- Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
- Don’t be angry with me for long and don’t lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainments, but I have only you.
- Talk to me. Even if I don’t understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.
- Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
- Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite or scratch you.
- Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I’m not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.
- Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.
- On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can’t bear to watch. Don’t make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.

 When my hubby and I were first dating, he thought I was nuts for talking to my cats. Now, nearly 15 years later, of all the conversations the cats have with the people in the house, probably 75% or more are with hubby, not me. He even — I kid you not — tucks them in and tells them bedtime stories at night to help them wind down before bed. (Now who’s getting a little nutty?)
Of all our cats, Mao (the Siamese) has the most extensive set of vocalizations and I swear, we always know exactly what he’s saying. Believe me, there’s little room for interpretation. The other cats are less vocal, and a bit less expressive, but they always get their points across. Then again, I used to have a tortoiseshell with whom I could have a dialog of infinite length … she’d respond to every word I said, back and forth, until I would ultimately throw in the towel. Her cat-speak was a puzzle to me; for all I know, she was telling me to shut my yap.
A couple of weeks ago, the Associated Press and Petside.com released the results of a poll in which pet owners were asked how well they understand their animals’ woofs, meows or other sounds. 62 percent of pet owners responded that when they speak, the pet gets the message. Here are some of their findings:
More women than men say they and their pets understand each other’s verbal stabs at communication. Older and lower-income people are also likelier to cite high levels of comprehension between them and their animals.
Molly Thibodeau, 20, of Fort Riley, Kan., said her two cats understand her so completely that if she wants to shoo them off furniture, “I point at them and they get right down.”
On the flip side, men are twice as likely as women to say they and their pets are clueless about what each is saying to the other — a group that overall comprises fewer than one in 10 pet owners.
“It’s kind of like, ‘What are you doing?’” Edwin Oto, 47, of Moraga, Calif., says of his futile efforts to figure out what his dog, Shilo, wants when she keeps barking after he lets her into the house.
Three in 10 dog owners think their pet is baffled when they speak to it, compared with nearly half of cat owners who say the same about their animal.
When it comes to communicating in the other direction, cat owners do better. Twenty-five percent of them say they completely understand their cats’ meows, compared with 16 percent of dog owners who claim to be totally fluent in barks.
But Jane Starring, 48, of Barrington, R.I., says she and her family are confounded by their 8-year-old cat, Flannel, who often chases people about the house meowing.
“We’re not sure we’re making much progress understanding him,” said Starring. “I don’t know what his point is.”
William Miller, a professor of veterinary medicine and medical director of Cornell University’s Companion Animal Hospital, says it’s not unusual for many owners and pets to understand some of each other’s speech. He said animals and people learn to communicate verbally by over time associating certain sounds with actions, such as a particular bark when a dog wishes to go outside or the soothing tone many people use when petting their cat.
“It’s not like you’ll sit down and have a U.N. conversation with them” spoken in different languages, Miller said.
So how about you? I’ve set up 2 polls below: one for cats, one for people. How well do each of you understand the other?
