1. Allies.
   All animals.
2. People.
   Enemies.

Cats meow only at people. They don't vocalize like that to fellow cats, or any other animal.

1. Yes.
   No.
2. Not if they are dizzy.
   Unproven.

Cats always land on their feet, but they need time and enough "drop distance." Cats have such a good sense of balance that they position their heads upright first, and then the whole body follows. That makes them land on their feet.

1. Fur pattern.
   Ears.
2. Nose.
   Whiskers.

A cat's nose has a unique pattern of folds. You can technically do a "nose print" with ink, and it would be as good as a fingerprint for humans. That is, if the cat will let you.

1. Bitter.
   Sour.
2. Sweet.
   Salty.

Cats can't taste sweetness. Some scientists think this is a mutation, but others think it's because they are predators, so they don’t need to taste sweetness; they need their savory taste buds more.

1. Claws are too short.
   All claws are in one direction.
2. Claws are too long.
   Claws are too soft.

All of a cat's claws are positioned and curved in one direction. It's great for going up a tree, but that means a cat has to go back down in reverse if they want to be on the ground again. Many cats don’t do that.

1. Vomit.
   Hairball.
2. Feces.
   Saliva.

Bezoars are the fancy names for hairballs. In fact, hairballs are a specific type, called trichobezoars. If your cat has this too often, a trip to a vet is in order, since it may mean a dietary or digestive problem. Otherwise, you need to groom your cat more!

1. To get rid of small animals.
   They needed something to cuddle.
2. Better than being enemies.
   Cats domesticated humans.

Cats were probably first domesticated, or allowed into human settlements, because of their ability to hunt down smaller animals, like rats. As farming expanded, these small animals tended to eat and contaminate the produce.

1. Yes.
   No.
2. Same general number.
   Depends on what kind of cat breed.

Not surprisingly, more cats are taken as pets when compared to dogs. Some estimates state there are more than 70 million cats in American households, compared to a little more than 60 million dogs. Also, one in three American households has a cat.

1. They want cuddles.
   Marking their territory.
2. It's a sign of a coming storm.
   To ask for food.

Cats have scent glands on their face, and their tails and paws carry their scent, too. They're marking you as their territory.

1. Playing.
   Eating.
2. Sleeping.
   Observing.

Cats are known to sleep around 16 hours a day, or two-thirds of a day. This is because they still keep the habits of hunters, and hunting needs a lot of energy.

1. So they can do acrobatics.
   So they can fit into small spaces.
2. So they can scratch everywhere.
   So they can really relax themselves.

Cats have no collarbones, and this allows them to collapse their bodies. As long as their heads can fit, they can go through any opening.

1. It's a safe space.
   It's fun.
2. No one knows why.
   They hate being seen.

Cats probably feel that boxes are small and safe spaces where they can relax, like a den in the wild. Other people say it's because they can conserve body heat when it's cold by being balled up in a small space.

1. They might think it's a silent enemy.
   They hate veggies.
2. It's green.
   They hate the smell.

Cats don’t like it when something sneaks up behind them. When you sneak a cucumber behind them, they can freak out. Some experts also say that they might think of it as a snake or something similar to it.

1. Hot cocoa.
   Orange juice.
2. Milk.
   Tea.

If cats were humans, they would be what you call lactose intolerant. They find it hard to digest milk, and it will give them an upset stomach, or worse.

1. Purring.
   Staring.
2. Eating.
   Grooming.

Cats can spend up to a third of their time awake grooming themselves. Aside from keeping themselves clean of dirt and smells, it also helps them maintain temperature by keeping their coat in top condition.

1. Tail.
   Paws.
2. Underside.
   Ears.

Cats sweat through their paws. Sadly, this sometimes isn’t enough for them to get rid of heat, and that's why they always look for shaded areas, and don't move unless they have to.

1. Jane.
   Mare.
2. Witch.
   Queen.

While male cats will have to keep themselves happy with the earthy 'Tom' as their nickname, female cats are given higher regard. Female cats are known as 'queens.'

1. Front claws are used more.
   Front claws have a harder material.
2. Back claws don’t retract.
   Back claws carry all the weight.

Cats can only retract their front claws. Their back claws don’t have this ability, so they're always out. They're worn down more than the front claws.

1. They're decorative.
   Similar to a sense of smell.
2. Making their way in the dark.
   They're for mating rituals.

A cat's whiskers allow them to navigate in the dark, and can tell them if there is an object in front of them. They act like tripwires or laser alarms, telling a cat if they are about to hit something that they can't see.

1. Smell backsides.
   Touch noses.
2. Bite each other.
   Claw at each other.

Cats touch their noses as a form of greeting. This also allows them to smell the scent of the other cat deeply, so they can really remember the other cat.

1. Healing.
   Sleeping.
2. Like an alarm signal.
   Communication purposes.

Research has shown that the vibration range of a cat's purr can actually help them heal bones and muscles. When your cat is purring, he or she may be doing a low-energy type of healing and strengthening bones and muscles.

1. Rocks.
   Sand.
2. Hay.
   Grass.

Originally, kitty litter was made out of sand, making for literal small sandboxes. However, some kinds of clay were found to be more absorbent, and it's been clay since around 1948.

1. They think we're the masters.
   They think we're bad hunters.
2. They won’t eat it anyway.
   They think we need more food.

When cats bring us dead animals as gifts, they're encouraging us to be better hunters. Whether they think we need to be taught, or that we really suck as hunters is unknown.

1. Dirty water.
   Dander.
2. Soil.
   Pollen.

Cat dander, or dander of any kind, is mostly made of dead skin cells, something like dandruff. In cats, their dander has a specific chemical that comes from cat saliva and their skin glands. This chemical can trigger allergic reactions in people.

1. Colorblind.
   Nearsighted.
2. Farsighted.
   All blurry.

Cats are known to be nearsighted, which means they can't see things that are far away. This is probably a biological adaptation of sorts for hunting animals.

1. Makes them sleepy.
   Makes cats anemic.
2. Gives them fever.
   Too much for their sense of taste.

Cats have a bad blood reaction to onions, aside from giving them an upset stomach. Onions can trigger breakdowns in a cat's blood cells, leading to anemia. Occasional small doses might be okay, but large doses are out of the question.

1. Alcohol poisoning.
   Excessive vomiting.
2. Kidney failure.
   Choking.

Grapes are very poisonous to cats. Large enough amounts or regular smaller amounts cause kidney failure, and even a small bit can make cats really sick.

1. No use.
   Senses what's behind them.
2. Balance while moving about.
   Used to rub scent on things.

Cats use their tails to balance themselves when they're on the move. This is very useful for cats if they want to move quickly and surely.

1. To remove the human smell.
   Smooth out ruffled fur.
2. To get rid of stress.
   To make you pick them up again.

Cats groom themselves after people handle them to remove the human smell from their fur. This makes sense since they don’t want an odd smell on them when their hunting instincts kick in. Don't take it personally.

1. It feels safe with you.
   It's a sign for a bath.
2. It's waiting to pounce on you.
   It's teasing you.

When a cat is showing its belly to you, it means that it feels safe with you. It's a way to show you a certain amount of trust and comfort.

1. Blindness.
   Deafness.
2. No sense of smell.
   Bad balance.

Cats with white fur and blue eyes are usually deaf. In the case of cats with only one blue eye, the nearest ear to the eye is usually deaf.

1. Electrical storms.
   Hurricanes.
2. Forest fires.
   Earthquakes.

Cats are very sensitive even to the smallest vibrations. Some scientists believe that they can sense the initial small tremors of earthquakes, before the big shifts happen.

1. Wheelbarrow.
   Box.
2. Kindle.
   Bag.

While the term "kindle of kittens" sounds odd, it makes sense when you think about the word. "Kindle" has its roots in "kindel," which means "offspring." Others trace it back to the German "kinder," which means "children."

1. Common.
   Separate breed.
2. Lucky.
   Better at catching mice.

Asia and England are some of the few places where black cats are seen as good luck. In England, a black cat crossing your path is a sign of great things to come!

1. Egypt.
   Syria.
2. China.
   India.

Egypt was the first major civilization that had a very high regard for cats. Cats were actually revered, and even seen as part of their religion.
