1) Feline Paws:
Studies have suggested that cats are either right or left pawed. The trait is believed to be sex related. Most male cats are left-pawed and most female felines are right paw oriented. However, researches have said that this paw trait only presents itself when the feline is faced with a complex task, something like retrieving tuna out of a tin or an animal from under the outdoor patio sets.
2) Dog Senses:
Canines have very strong senses, especially smell. Pets are actually known for sharing information about food. It has been revealed by animal scientists that dogs can figure out where food is by simply following another dog’s breath. This trait was picked up from their packs of ancestors. Since dog nasal receptors are so advanced it is actually believed that dogs can smell if a person has cancer just from their breath accordingly to a 2006 study.
3) A Cat’s Purr
A purring cat doesn’t necessarily mean a happy cat. Scientists have discovered that cats actually produce two separate kinds of purrs. One means the cat is happy, and the other means that it is in distress. A distressed purr is similar to that of a babies cry. This frequency aids the cat in receiving their owner’s attention promptly.
4) Noses and Cancer
If you have a long nosed dog like an Irish Wolfhound and you smoke cigarettes, you are in luck. Long nosed dogs are less likely to suffer the effects of second hand smoke. According to studies conducted in the 1960’s. these longer nosed dogs have nasal cavities that are more adept to filtering out harmful carcinogens, thus decreasing their chance for lung cancer. Smaller nosed dogs such as boxers or pugs are more likely to suffer from passive smoking. Second hand smoke not only affects humans, but your pets as well.
5) Cloning Felines VS. Canines
In 2001, the first kitty was cloned. It’s name was CC. Years later the first puppy was cloned. It turns out that felines are way easier to clone than canines are. It takes more than five generations to actually get it right.
