Do you know that a group of cats is called a “clowder” while a group of kittens is called a “kindle”?

Even if you own a cat for quite some time, there are some interesting facts that you may not know yet.

• In the US, cats are more popular pets than dogs. The most popular breeds include the Maine Coon, Ragdoll, and Bengal, although mixed breed cats are quite common.
• The African wildcat is considered as the ancestor of domestic cats. Cats were considered sacred in ancient Egypt. In fact, cats where often mummified and placed in tombs. However, during the Middle Ages in Europe, cats became associated with the devil and many were burned during religious ceremonies.
• Kittens are born blind and deaf, and fully dependent on their mothers during the first few weeks. Their eyes start to open at 10 days, though it will take a few more weeks for their eyes to be able to focus properly. Their ears open at about 2 weeks old.
