#Fact 1
It is thought that the ancient Egyptians first domesticated cats, the oldest known pet cat was found in a 9,500-yr-old grave on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. The grave predates early Egyptian art depicting cats by 4,000+ yrs.
Cats domesticated humans, I guess.
#Fact 2
During the time of the Spanish Inquisition, Pope Innocent VIII condemned cats as evil and thousands of cats were burned. Well, the widespread killing of cats led to an explosion of the rat population, which exacerbated the effects of the Black Death.
DO NOT KILL CATS.
#Fact 3:
A cat cannot see directly under its nose.
P.S. Or just above their eyes!
#Fact 4
The first cat in space was a French cat named Felicette (a.k.a. “Astrocat”) In 1963, France blasted the cat into outer space. Electrodes implanted in her brains sent neurological signals back to Earth. She survived the trip.
Yes, they're made for the stars!
#Fact 5
Slow blinking. If you make eye contact with a cat and slow blink, they will reciprocate. It’s a sign of trust that you are both comfortable closing your eyes to one another.
