Cat Facts

  • Like birds, cats have a homing ability that uses its biological clock, the angle of the sun, and the Earth’s magnetic field. A cat taken far from its home can return to it. But if a cat’s owners move far from its home, the cat can’t find them.
  • Hunting is not instinctive for cats. Kittens born to non-hunting mothers may never learn to hunt.
  • Cats bury their feces to cover their trails from predators.
  • Mother cats teach their kittens to use the litter box.
  • Among other tasks, cats can be taught to use a toilet, come, sit, beg, eat with their paws, heel, jump through a hoop, play a piano, play dead, roll over, open a door, hide food in boxes, shake, and fetch.
