Over the past few weeks I have completed several Cat College courses ranging from genetics, biology, zoology, psychology and art history. I found the following statistics interesting. How about a quick game of Trivial Purr-Suit? Do you know????

The cat's ancestors lived 10,000 years ago in the Middle East.
Cats have been shown in art for thousands of years.
There are 30 family cat classifications like bobcat, cougar and cheetah.
Cat gestation is 63 days.
Cats average 4 kittens per litter.
Cats inherit 10 chromosomes from each parent.
Cats have 30 permanent teeth.
Cats have about 244 bones.
Cats require 1/6 the amount of light to see as compared to humans.
Cats hear sounds up to 60,000 hertz compared to 20,000 hertz for humans.

Happy Purrs!
