If you want to get a cat, you must know:
1. Cats do not taste sweet. Sugar affects the health of cats that can become seriously ill or even die. Therefore, cats should not be given sweets.
2. If you neuter a cat, you prevent a lot of health problems and prolong its life by 2-3 years.
3. Cat sleeps about 16 hours a day to keep the energy they used to hunt.

CATS' MEOWING
In order to produce their typical meows, cats open and close their mouths: these sounds can be friendly or represent a request. However, adult cats meow only to humans, and not to each other, probably because mothers stop responding to meows after weaning.

If you have a cat, whether your cat has short or long hair, you need to groom and brush it regularly. Clean, fresh water is essential for the good health of your cat, so you need to make sure it is easily accessible to her. A general rule for litter boxes is one for each cat plus one more, so if you have 2 cats, you should have 3 litter boxes. Keep them clean! Don’t feed your cat too much dry food! Train your cat to use a scratching post. This will prevent your sofa from being full of ripped threads.
Helena, 7. d
Avoid loud noises and abrupt movements that might startle your cat.
Refrain from looming over him, since it makes you appear larger and potentially threatening.
Try inviting your cat into your space instead of moving into his space

THE CAT ELVES THE NEGATIVE ENERGIES
Research in the field shows that in families where there are cats, the atmosphere is more serene and cat owners are about 30% less likely to have a heart attack.
The explanation that specialists have found for these things is that a cat’s purr produces vibrations between 20-140 Hz known for their therapeutic effects in curing many diseases.
It seems that a cat's purr also helps to release oxytocin into the brain. Oxytocin is also called ”the hormone of love and attachment”; all manifestations of tenderness, caresses, hugs, affectionate words cause an increase in the amount of this hormone, which has an unexpected healing effect.

Cats can see at night 5 times better than humans - especially if the target is moving - even if they cannot distinguish as many colors as the human eye.
It is said that cats have 9 lives. This is due to the flexible back and strong muscles in the back and legs that often allow him to fall to his feet.
Cats can see in the dark, but they don't only see with their eyes.

Cats are really cute. They have whiskers, small ears, long tails and mysterious eyes. Cats are nearsighted, but their night vision is much better than that of humans.
They eat cat food and drink water. Cats should not drink milk - it's bad for their health.
Cats have a total 18 toes: five toes on each front paw and four toes on each back paw. They can jump up very high. All cats like sleep but sometimes they run away from home because they follow their own paths.

Three important tricks for cats
Come when called
Sit/sit pretty
High five
A quiet area that is comfortable for you and your cat.15 minutes of your time.
***Start with your cat, the treats, and the clicker in your designated quiet space. Click and treat once to make sure your cat isn’t afraid of the sound. Then choose a specific behavior to reward, such as looking in your direction. When your cat looks at you, click and then toss her a treat. Repeat every time she looks at you. Once your cat understands that offering you attention results in a click and treat you can start to increase your distance from her.
***Sit on the floor by your cat, or if this isn’t comfortable for you, place her on a table or other raised surface. When she sees you have a treat, she may walk toward you. Say “sit” and bring the treat over her head. She will most likely stop and sit.
***High five looks impressive, but it is actually an easy trick. As in teaching Sit, make sure you and your cat are on a similar eye level. Hold a treat in front of your cat at her shoulder level. When she reaches out her paw and touches the hand holding the treat, click and then give her the treat. Eventually she will understand she must touch your hand before getting the treat.
