A facts post about cats, because cats are one of my special interests!!!
The first named cat lived in 1400 BC!!! The kitty’s name was Nedjem, which roughly translates to “sweet” or “pleasant”!!!
Most cats do not have eyelashes.
There is a fairly common belief that if you dream of a white cat, good luck will come to you!!!
1 cat year equals to 7 human years.
A group of kittens is called a kindle, and a group of adult cats is called a clowder!!!!
Though many cultures consider black cats to be bad luck, Great Britain and Japan actually consider black cats to be good luck!!! In English Midlands, newly wed brides are given black cats to bless their marriage, and in Japan, crossing a black cat’s path is particularly considered to be good luck for single women.
Cat videos have been around since 1894!!!
Cats have more bones than humans, totaling at 244!!!! (wow!!!!!!!!!)
Because of their inability to roar, cheetahs are technically classified as lesser cats!!!!! Big cats such as lions, tigers, leopards, and jaguars have the ability to roar due to an adapted larynx and hyoid apparatus.
Cats have a special organ called the vomeronosal organ, or, the Jacobson’s organ. It functions as a scent analyzer.
Cats meow as a communication towards humans specifically.
The sound of a cat’s purring has the ability to heal human bones!!!!!!!

Seals come in two forms:
Buff
& Triangular
Walruses are horrifying
But whales are worse
Fish can have human faces
but not always where you’d expect
As for the rest
… it’s probably better left alone.

Not to get emo on main but you ever think about how the troop sang about their dreams of finding “a girl worth fighting for”, and they think their girl worth fighting for is one of romance, but the song abruptly comes to a halt when they find a different girl worth fighting for.
A tiny girl that had been killed at the hands of the Huns. A child too weak, too small to have any chance of withstanding the murderous invaders. That is their girl worth fighting for.
me before the vanilla ice fight: omg there's a character named vanilla ice haha that's so funny!!
