January 22 is National Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day. (Nope, we didn’t make this up.) Here are the answers to five of the most pressing questions on felines.
1. No, most cats are neither left- nor right-pawed. They’re ambidextrous.
2. A cat can make almost 100 different vocalizations; a dog, only about 10.
3. Cats’ tongues are so rough they can pull the meat off a bone. (But don’t give them the bone.)
4. Yes, when a cat drapes his tail over you (or another pet), it means he’s good with you.
5. When a cat rubs his chin on the ground, he’s reacting to a scent. Tigers do it, too.
