Cats have lived a long time ago, not as long as dinosaurs but plenty long. Cats have lived 30 million years ago. Some cats say that wolves are the ancestors of modern day domestic dogs, so that must mean that big cats are the ancestors of modern day domestic cats. It is uncertain whether the cat that lived 30 million years ago was a big cat or a modern day domestic cat. However what is known is that, the earliest ancestor of the domestic cat Proailurus (first-cat in greek) lived over 30 million years ago.

As you know cats can run, and the cheetah is the fastest cat in the world. As most cats have retractable claws, claws that are out when a cat is pouncing but in when they are running, a cheetah has claws that are out all the time. A domestic cat can run up to 30 miles per hour for short distances. Some cats can run very fast.

Cat Fact #28 and Cat Story #4

As most people know if you close one eye you lose your depth perception, the same goes for cats. If cats close one eye or they injure one they too lose their depth perception. My pet cat Hector has pink eye in his right eye and he stopped jumping on certain things because he cannot gauge correctly how far away the object is. (He is keeping his right eye closed or mostly closed most of the time because of the pink eye)

Theoretically, cats can hear dolphins. A cat's ear can hear the ultrasonic sounds that rodents and dolphins use to communicate with each other. The sounds that we cannot hear, cat's can hear them because a cat's hearing is much better than a human's.

Cat Fact #24

A cat is a very skilled hunter, and they are very sneaky. They are lethal and sneaky hunters, when they tread and/or walk their hind paws step exactly where their front paws did, creating less noise and making less tracks. This makes cats' skilled and lethal, they can creep up on other things before the other thing knows it. The animal they are hunting may not hear them because they step in the same place as their front paws. The reason they do that is if something following them finds a set of tracks there are less prints to follow.
