Ten Fast Facts About Cats – And Tazi – That You May Not Have Known Before!
Cats are lactose intolerant. From the mighty big cats to the smallest
Munchkin, our digestive systems lack the enzyme needed to break it down. We are also unable to taste sweet flavors, so
serving us milk or cream is not necessary to our health; we just like the
texture. Fresh water will do us fine.
We
do not like citrus or lavender scents.
If you want to keep a cat from scratching the furniture, spray it with
Febreeze upholstery spray in one of these two scents…or both if you want us to
really hate you for it.
Cats’
tongues have tiny, little barbs on them which are what makes our tongues feel
like sandpaper.
Domestic
cats are not native to North America . We were brought over on the Mayflower by the
Pilgrims.
Signs
that a cat trusts you: snoring while sleeping (it means we are veeeeery
relaxed!) and presenting you our butt, the one spot that has no claws. If we present you our belly it means we are
trying to see if you are trustworthy (one false move and four sets of claws and
a mouthful of teeth stand ready to hurt you!)

Cats
prefer names that end with a long “e” sound….like Tazi! We also respond to “p” sounds more quickly
than other sounds…when we respond at all, that is.
Approximately 20% of cats lack the receptors to experience a “high” from catnip. Luckily, I am not among them.
All calico cats are female.
There is no such thing are a pure black cat. Even I have a scant few white hairs on my chest and belly. (It makes me look like I touched wet paint).
Cats, large and small, walk on our claws not the flats (pads) of our feet. We are the only animal know to walk like this!

Ask Tazi! is ghostwritten by a human with a Bachelors of Arts in Communications. Tazi-Kat is not really a talking feline.
