CaT STuFfs

Found these Stuffs Online when I was surfing the other day. Just sharing if anyone is interested in reading it. *heheh*

1) A cat lover is an ailurophile while a cat hater is an ailurophobe. (I'm a certified ailurophile!)

2) A cat has a unique sense of taste - it lacks the ability to detect sweetness but it can differentiate the slightest variations in the taste of water. (Yeah right, Jin will play with the water instead of drinking it! Had to smack him several times for that)

3) Cats wrinkle their nose the same way humans do when they are puzzled or insulted. You have to look closely to see two or three wrinkles down the length of your cat’s nose whenever a behaviour is beyond the cat’s comprehension or offends his sensibilities. (Jin loves to wrinkle his nose! Hmm wonder whether he is puzzled or insulted??!?!)

4) One of a cat’s most affectionate gestures is the ‘love bite’ - a gentle tooth-hold on her owner’s hand or arm. (Hmmm ... so I guess I receive lots of such 'love bites' from him. However I do not think it is affectionate. He is not one who displays affection. An every bit a MCC - Male Chauvinist Cat!)

5) One of the most subtle movements in a cat’s repertoire is the ‘rocking horse’ - an invitation to play that involves stiffening of all 4 legs and rocking slightly forward & back in quiet anticipation. (Hahahh for Jinjer, his bum will sway left and right before he "attacks")

6) Every cat’s nose pad has unique characteristics. Just as no two humans have then same fingerprints, its a fact that no two feline noseprints are alike. (Jinjer's pink colour! muahah SO Girly!)

7) There are special names given to the different degrees of white markings:
A cat with white paws are said to be mitted.
A cat with white patch on the chest is said to have a locket.
A cat with several small, white belly patches is said to have buttons.
A cat with roughly half his body surface white is said to be bicolor.
A cat with a predominantly white coat and a few color patches is a Harlequin
A cat with a white coat except for color on the tail & head is a Van.
A black cat with white legs, underside & chest is called a Tuxedo.
A black & white cat is called a Jellicle cat.
(Hmmm ...so what do I call Jinjer? He is an orange mitted locket with buttons?!?! haha)
