MICKEY VS. THE CATS:  A small army of cats prowls the grounds of Disneyland at night to help control the mouse population. Feral cats at Disneyland have been around since the California Park opened in 1955. Park officials saw the value of the felines as pest control. The Disneyland cats are spayed and neutered and provided medical treatment by the Disney staff. [1]

FAST CATS:  The average healthy domestic cat can run at a top speed of about 30 mph (48 kph). [2]

BIRDS FOR CATS:  According to a UK journal article, felines are accountable for an estimated 64.8 million bird deaths every year. [3]

LIVE LONG AND PROSPER:  Spaying or neutering a cat increases life expectancy: one study found neutered male cats live twice as long as intact males, while spayed female cats live 62% longer than intact females. [4]

THE MANY LIVES OF A CAT:  According to a myth in many cultures, cats have multiple lives. In many countries, they are believed to have nine lives, but in Italy, Germany, Greece, Brazil and some Spanish-speaking regions, they are said to have seven lives. [4]

Caturday Cat Facts #5

SECRET AGENT CATS:  In the 1960s, the CIA spent 20 million dollars on a project codenamed “Acoustic Kitty” to spy on the Soviets. The secret agent cats were implanted with listening devices to record and transmit sound from their surroundings. The project was a failure and eventually abandoned. [1]

FELINE LOVER:  Ailurophile means lover of cats—from the ancient Greek ailuro (“cat”) + phile (“lover”).  An irrational fear of cats is called ailurophobia. [2]

HOLD YOUR TAIL UP HIGH:  The domestic cat is the only member of the feline species that can hold its tail upright. Lions, tigers, and other hunters keep their tails horizontally in line with their bodies or tucked under them. [3]

FUR BALL: A hair ball (sometimes called a fur ball) is a matted wad of hairs that a cat swallows while grooming himself. A hair ball usually forms in the stomach and is later vomited up. [3]

THE HONORABLE MR. STUBBS:  A cat named Stubbs has been the honorary mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska, since 1997. [4]
