cats are the most common pet in the
world but there is still a lot we don't
know about them they have some strange
characteristics and personality traits
why is it that cats seem to love sitting
in circles and why do they have an
irrational fear of cucumbers
thank you
this is a circle and this is a fat cat
when a circle being enough for him to
fit inside is put on the floor nearby he
will generally approach the circle and
sit inside of it for a substantial
amount of time but why is this
is a circle their favorite shape do they
think it will teleport them away from
their annoying owners we are not sure of
the exact reason for this but the most
probable reason is that cats are
generally inquisitive of new things so
we'll explore anything unfamiliar to the
room they also like the safety of
enclosed spaces like boxes or circles
the power of social media has also
revealed the trading caps that
scientists previously knew nothing of
cats are petrified of cucumbers well
they are if they're placed behind them
whilst they're having their dinner
upon turning around and seeing the
Cucumber they screw away from the
situation as fast as possible seemingly
terrified of this common salad
ingredient animal behaviorists believe
this is down to the shock factor that
thing wasn't there before and now it is
so the cat wants to get out of the
situation as quickly as is physically
possible in order to assess the danger
from afar us humans know a cucumber is
just a harmless fruit yes I said fruit
but a cat could see a snake a giant
insect or anything else resembling a
threat not so funny now is it
did you know milk is actually bad for
adult cats as they grow up they cannot
digest lactose in milk and get upset
stomachs if they offend milk
have 32 muscles in the ear humans only
have six their ears can also
independently move 180 degrees
in ancient Egypt when a pet cat died
owners would go into mourning and shave
their eyebrows they would also often be
mummified just like humans
