They are intelligent, sensitive, and they love to cuddle. The best part is, you get to share your home with a miniature tiger! However, there are some things about cats that people don&#8217;t like to talk about. So here are 9 facts about cats no one wants to admit:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FACT_NUMBER_1_Cats_are_great_amazing_creatures\"><\/span>FACT NUMBER 1: Cats are great &amp; amazing creatures<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may be surprised to learn that cats are actually great and amazing creatures. You might not know it, but your cat is intelligent, independent, clean and affectionate.<\/p>\n<p>Cats are also perfect for people who don\u2019t have time for a dog or other large pet (and not just because they can be trained to use the toilet). They\u2019re also good for people with allergies\u2014their fur doesn\u2019t shed like dogs do!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FACT_NUMBER_2_Cats_have_claws_and_a_lot_of_them\"><\/span>FACT NUMBER 2: Cats have claws and a lot of them.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cats have claws to help them climb, run and hunt. They use their claws for marking territory, stretching and sharpening their nails. Cats also scratch to remove dead skin from their paws.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this, cats have a specialized fifth toe in each paw that is not as heavily clawed as the other four toes on each paw or foot as it does not assist with agility but instead helps with balance when walking and running. This fifth toe can be seen if you look at your cat\u2019s paw from below.<\/p>\n<p>The average number of claws on a healthy adult cat can vary between 18-20 depending on breed or type of cat but this does not mean there are always 20 visible because some will retract inside the pad when they are relaxed or asleep!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FACT_NUMBER_3_Cats_can_be_destructive\"><\/span>FACT NUMBER 3: Cats can be destructive<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cats are like children. They love to destroy your things. They will throw a fit if they don&#8217;t get what they want, and sometimes, this includes your belongings.<\/p>\n<p>This can be annoying, but it&#8217;s not all bad news! There are a few reasons why cats may decide to destroy something that you value:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Because they&#8217;re trying to communicate with us \u2013 Cats use their claws for everything from scratching at their favorite spot on the couch (or your favorite spot on the couch) to marking territory with the scent glands on their paws. Sometimes, this means destroying our things because we have something else in mind for them\u2014we want them somewhere else or playing with something different than what they&#8217;d prefer. In these cases, it&#8217;s important that we understand their need for communication so that we can help them find other outlets for expressing themselves without damaging our belongings too much or too often (see below).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FACT_NUMBER_4_Cats_communicate_by_puking\"><\/span>FACT NUMBER 4: Cats communicate by puking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cats communicate by puking. It\u2019s true. They do it for a few reasons, and each reason is a little different:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A cat may be trying to tell you that something is wrong with them or their environment, like if there is a new pet in the home or if there\u2019s too much noise outside.<\/li>\n<li>Sometimes, cats will puke when they get overstimulated from playing too hard with another cat or person who comes near them. This can also happen when they are scared of something, like loud noises like fireworks or thunderstorms (which I highly recommend as a great source of entertainment).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If your cat starts puking after being exposed to something unexpected\u2014like meeting another new animal in your house\u2014it could mean that he\u2019s having trouble adjusting to change and needs time before getting used to it all again so don&#8217;t worry!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FACT_NUMBER_5_Cats_take_time_to_acclimate_to_new_homes_and_families\"><\/span>FACT NUMBER 5: Cats take time to acclimate to new homes and families<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Cats take time to acclimate to new homes and families<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cats are independent creatures, and they need time to adjust their daily routine before they can relax. Even if your cat has been raised in a home for its entire life, moving into a new one can be stressful for them. They may be scared of the new people or places around them, so give them some space while they get used to their surroundings. This will help both you and your furry friend enjoy the experience much more!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FACT_NUMBER_6_Kittens_have_way_more_energy_than_you_do\"><\/span>FACT NUMBER 6: Kittens have way more energy than you do<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Kittens have way more energy than you do.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s no secret that kittens are extremely active and need a lot of exercise to stay happy and healthy, so it is essential that you set aside time each day for playtime with your kitten. This will help build a strong bond between the two of you, as well as help keep them physically fit and mentally stimulated.<\/p>\n<p>Play time can be anything from putting together puzzles or playing fetch, to teaching them how to jump through hoops or play hide-and-seek in the house (as long as they don&#8217;t get stuck!). However you decide to spend your time together, make sure it&#8217;s fun for all involved!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FACT_NUMBER_7_You_cannot_control_a_cat\"><\/span>FACT NUMBER 7: You cannot control a cat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The fact that you cannot control a cat is one of the first things that people have to come to terms with when they get their first cat. It&#8217;s not that they&#8217;re bad or spiteful, but cats are independent creatures and will do what they want to do. They will not listen to you when it suits them and ignore you when they don&#8217;t feel like it.<\/p>\n<p>However, this isn&#8217;t a bad thing! While many people worry about whether or not their cat loves them or if the relationship is working out, there are other ways for us as humans to form strong bonds with our pets: through understanding each other instead of demanding obedience from our feline companions. Cats may never &#8220;like&#8221; us back in the way dogs do (since dogs are pack animals), but we can still build a good relationship with them by learning how cats behave so we can work with those behaviors rather than against them\u2014and vice versa!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FACT_NUMBER_8_cats_love_to_get_into_things_they_shouldnt\"><\/span>FACT NUMBER 8 cats love to get into things they shouldn&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cats love to get into things. This is something you should be prepared for. Cats love to play with string and yarn, they also love to climb cabinets and jump in boxes, bags and bags of food!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FACT_NUMBER_9_Some_people_just_dont_like_cats\"><\/span>FACT NUMBER 9 Some people just don&#8217;t like cats.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Some people just don&#8217;t like cats.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are some people who just don&#8217;t like cats. You can&#8217;t force someone to like something they don&#8217;t want to, just as you can&#8217;t force yourself to stop liking cats if you do without a second thought. If you&#8217;re looking for the perfect companion, but keep finding yourself disappointed by the lack of desire your friends and family have for your favorite type of animal, then perhaps it&#8217;s time that you find someone more suitable. A cat isn\u2019t right for every person in this world\u2014just as we humans aren\u2019t right for every cat! But once you find someone who&#8217;s a good match for both sides of this equation\u2014you and your feline friend\u2014then all will be well in the land!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adopting_a_cat_is_an_awesome_and_amazing_experience_but_it_is_important_that_you_know_what_you_will_be_getting_into_before_you_do\"><\/span>Adopting a cat is an awesome and amazing experience, but it is important that you know what you will be getting into before you do.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are someone who has ever thought about adopting a cat, then there is no need for any further consideration. You should do it. There is nothing better than having a cat in your life. They will teach you things, help you grow as an individual, and make sure that every day of your life is interesting and exciting. And if this all sounds too good to be true, there\u2019s more:<\/p>\n<p>Cats are amazing creatures that can bring so much joy into your life if only given the chance! They don&#8217;t judge or criticize their owners (even if they seem like they might) and they always stick around when needed most &#8211; even when the owner isn&#8217;t necessarily deserving of such loyalty (which happens sometimes). Cats offer unconditional love which allows us humans to take advantage of because we&#8217;re selfish beings ourselves&#8230;but most importantly&#8230;cats know this about us so there&#8217;s never any hard feelings towards one another at all!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So, what does this mean for you? If you&#8217;re thinking about getting a cat, just be aware that it is going to be an adventure! The most important thing to remember is that your kitty needs love, affection and attention. And if you can give them that&#8230; then they will give you their total devotion in return.
