Sorry to ask again, I’m sure you’ve forgotten about this contest, but are you ever going to post the winners? Maybe you could just send me the book.

Cats are known to hunt snakes and cats have learned quite a lot from their dangerous prey. Cats hiss like a snake to tell other animals to back off. Cats also flatten their ears onto their heads, making a distinctly triangular, snakelike head. Also, when most cats, especially tabbys, lie down they do so in a circle. Their shape and markings make them appear like a venomous snake.

Cats have quite a large vocabulary…in fact, they are second only to dolphins in terms of language use.

Cats that have two different color eyes will almost always be deaf on the same side as the blue one.

The ocelot, a cousin of the leopard, got its name from an Aztec word meaning “field tiger.”

(I really like ocelots, too. :) )

And I didn’t google that fact. i researched it about 2 years ago when my wife was expecting our son. We had a cat and I was trying to think of every excuse in the world to get rid of it. check out toxoplasmosis on wiki. it’s crazy stuff. sometimes it even causes the mouse to be unexplainably attracted to the smell of cat urine.

Cats often carry a protozoan in their feces called toxoplasmosis. This is why expecting mothers are sometimes told to stay away from cats. The cool thing about how it works is that it infects mice, overpowering their ability to stay away from danger. This causes them to be more brazen and, you guessed it, run where cats can catch them. The cat eats the mouse and gets infected with toxoplasmosis. It doesn’t really affect the cat, but wreaks havoc on little unborn babies. And mice. Feel free to edit this however you like. I’m not much of a written story teller.

Orangey, the ginger tabby who played the role of Cat in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” (among other roles) was roundly disliked by everyone, including his trainer. A studio executive dubbed him “The World’s Meanest Cat.”

Similarly, the gorgeous white Persian who appears in Fancy Feast ads, is referred to in actual commercial scripts as “Sh*thead.”

In 2003 a London cat, Tinker, inherited $700,000 from his former owner, inlcuding a house. The richest cat in the world, Tinker dines on fish and milk everyday. He is cared for by his late owners neighbors. That’s one lucky kitty.
