misconceptions about our feline friends
they can lead to catastrophic
repercussions I’m terrible with Campins
now let’s get started you stop laughing
right now welcome to watchmojo.com one
by one in today’s installment we’re
counting down the five myths about cats
the head is coughing up hairballs my
room was filled with cat hair and cat
smell and actual cats roughly twelve
cats myth number five cats always land
on their feet
is it true no that is just a rumor to
spread by dogs the anatomy of the cats
is pretty remarkable
they don’t have collar bones their
spines are incredibly flexible and their
sense of balance is uncanny to say the
least
I hear cats always land on their feet
urban legend despite these many
qualities they are not as Charlie Kelly
might have you believe capable of
defying the laws of nature Katsina
abide by the laws of nature cants do
have something called the cat’s righting
reflex which is an innate ability to
reorient themselves during a fall it’s a
highly developed evolutionary advantage
resulting from eons spent hunting in
trees and other acrobatic feats but even
the most finely tuned organic system can
falter and if a cat is dropped from tool
over height or too disoriented in a
high-velocity fall even they can botch
the landing
myth number four cats can’t be trained
it’s a common comparison dogs are man’s
best friend but cats are more like an
unemployed roommate with a superiority
complex but that belief likely comes
from the people who have never tried to
train their cat and are simply resigned
to letting their cats do as they please
first off cats are just as intelligent
as dogs well most of them secondly
they’re just as susceptible to training
as their canine counterpart the training
is just very different which results in
many would-be amateur cat trainers
giving up when their first attempt fails
come on ah ha ha ha oh man one week
while dogs typically crave human
attention cats tend to be more
independent and therefore need to be
trained in short sessions with plenty of
high-value treats as motivation myth
number three cats hate water the world
would have you believe that cats hate
water while it seems some little kitties
clearly didn’t get that memo according
to scientists the dislike that many cats
have towards water is a result of
domestication as generations of house
cats have spent less time in water they
become less and less comfortable with it
in the wild however big cats can often
be seen swimming across bodies of water
while certain domestic cat breeds such
as Turkish vans as still known for their
love of swimming myth number two cats
purr when they’re happy let’s go see if
we can make this little kitty purr
peirong is a good sign that your cat is
content or really enjoying that cat
massage but you need to take other body
language into consideration to know that
your cat is truly purring with joy cats
also purr when they’re injured in pain
anxious or even angry scientists believe
the purring is actually primarily used
to promote comfort which explains why
cats purr in both good and bad
situations yes this also helps to shed
light on why cats can often be found
purring next to an injured cat or human
they’re familiar with absolutely more
than soothing the frequency of the
vibrations caused by pairing have
actually been shown to encourage bone
and tissue growth or regeneration this
calls for a celebration
myth number one milk the perfect treat
for your cat good legend in popular
culture cats and a saucer of milk go
together like dogs and bones while a dog
bone promotes good dental health captain
they’re supposed tree of choice don’t
