About this listen

Welcome to Cat Chat, where feline facts and whiskered stories come together to celebrate our mysterious companions.

Did you know that as kittens, cats have 26 tiny baby teeth, which are later replaced by 30 adult teeth? Those sharp, pearly whites help them eat, groom, and yes, gently nibble your fingers. Plus, regular brushing or dental checkups keep their smiles healthy and their purrs strong.

Speaking of wild roots, domestic house cats share an astonishing 95.6 percent of their genes with tigers. That’s why you spot mini “tigers” in your living room: they stalk, pounce, and even scent mark their territory, just like their giant cousins.

Here’s something to admire: cats are true athletes. They can jump up to five or even six times their own body length, scale bookshelves in a single leap, and sprint up to 30 miles per hour for short bursts. For a brief dash, your kitty could actually outrun Olympic sprinting champion Usain Bolt.

Cats are full of quirky details. They walk like camels and giraffes, moving both right feet, then both left—unique among animals. It’s no wonder their prowl is so silent and their steps so graceful. Add to that their whisper-soft paw pads, and you’ve got a predator built for stealth and surprise.

If you’ve ever wondered why cats rub against your legs, it’s more than affection—it’s a way to mark you with their scent. Think of it
