A Few Fun & Interesting Facts About Our Beloved Dogs & Cats!

We all love our furry babies, but there may be a few fun facts that you do not know about them. Here are a few of those interesting and fun facts.

1. Did you know that the nose print of dogs, cats, and other animals is as unique as a human fingerprint?
2. Contrary to popular belief, dogs aren’t colorblind! They have dichromatic vision, which means they see shades of blue and yellow.
3. House cats share an incredible 95.6% of their genetic makeup with tigers! They also exhibit similar behaviors such as scent marking, prey stalking, and pouncing.
4. Dogs have around 1700 taste buds compared to humans who have about 9000. They can taste sweet, sour, salty, and bitter flavors.
5. Ever wondered why a cat’s whiskers are so important? They serve as their built-in radar, helping them navigate and sense changes in their environment, especially at night.
6. Greyhounds might not be as fast as cheetahs in short bursts, but they can outrun them over longer distances. A Greyhound can maintain a speed of 35 mph for about seven miles, whereas a cheetah can only sprint at 70 mph for about thirty seconds.
7. Here’s a fun fact: Disneyland in California has feral cats that roam the park freely. They’re actually there to help keep the rodent population in check!
8. The Bloodhound has such an incredible sense of smell that its tracking results can be used as evidence in court.
9. Cats have the amazing ability to rotate their ears 180 degrees,

allowing them to pinpoint the source of even the quietest sounds.
10. Did you know yawning is contagious for dogs too? Research shows that hearing a human yawn can trigger a yawn in your dog, especially if it’s someone they know—it’s four times more likely to happen then.
