"Dogs make about 10 sounds"? Well, clearly you have not met my dog.
coyfox320
not all of these are true.....
cmndrloki
well I call bullshit. the liger is the biggest cat, thank you
FattycakesLand
thank you for subscribing to cat facts
ScruffyLookinScoundrel
Even after all these facts, I still consider dogs to be much better pets.
imredheaded
Some of these are BS, particularly dogs only knowing 10 sounds. Have you EVER seen a dog with only 10 vocalizations?
AzerilPridham
I used to have a whole spoken language with my dog before she got old. I wasn't crazy, just young.
OriginalWadjet
The fact that one of these "facts" is wrong makes me doubt the rest

Now i know why cats are assholes, their brains are similar to humans
Kitska
They're also like humans in that, if you treat them well, they're a lot less likely to act like assholes.
cntthinkofasn
mau is the name for cat in chinese as well

I had a show quality Mau. Almost 8 foot vertical leap. Only naturally spotted domestic breed. Gorgeous, but God was she a bitch.
isitsupposedtodothat
So what your saying is that a cat knows about 96 sounds just for the fuck of it?
isitsupposedtodothat
I can't believe noone chose to correct me!
Sttargh
Some of these are bullshit, especially the one about the back claws not retracting. They lose their ability to do that at old age.
Choc113
and they are blunter because they can't sharpen them on tree's,post's,furniture etc
Sttargh
Cats don't scratch stuff to sharpen their claws, they do it to mark their territory with the scent of their pads. Still do it after declaw.
jackbos
Egyptian: Mau, Mandarin: Mao, Cantonise: Maow, Thai: Meo, Vietnamese: Mèo... I'm sensing a trend here.
OriginalWadjet
Japanese: Nyan
jackbos
"Neko" is Japanese for cat. "Nyan" is Japanese for Meow.
OriginalWadjet
Yeah, I know. I was acutally trying (and failing) to make a nyan cat joke...
yallmfsneedjesus
I cal bullshit on the one that says they can't taste sweet. My little bastard knows the difference between real ice cream and sugar free
transferswitch
I think nutrasweet is poisonous to cats and dogs.
kaffefilter
I'm allergic to dairy, so I eat oat or rice-based ice-cream/yogurt etc. And all our animals refuse to eat it. Must taste terrible to them.
extrapolatethis
Our older cat can apparently hear us when we think "I believe I'll have some ice cream," and he magically appears there. Every time.
Geistbar
They truly can't: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=strange-but-true-cats-cannot-taste-sweets
ChronoKing
TIL Egyptians named cats as if they were pokemon.
AbusiveWankerVEVO
Meow, I choose you
PedanticYetEarnest
Flatscreens got here before I did. The Chinese, Egyptians, and other societies concurrently named the cat based on the sound it makes.
Flatscreens
So do the Chinese
NotACanadian
Mau?
Rivalyn
A cat's meow is similar to a crying baby. They're manipulating your instincts with their voice and you don't even know it.
Boredman
Also, they bark at dogs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP3gzee1cps
Agouti
Cats back claws DO retract, but they can't sharpen them on stuff like they do with their front. I'm skeptical about the rest as well.
piscesdreamer
WTF Imgur. I unsubscribed from Cat Facts weeks ago.
Liser
Ok, I'm blowing the bullshit whistle. My cat does meow at other cats. And I gave a 21 pound cat...he's not a rag doll breed.
BluHaze
Your cat is just fat.
Kavian
Fat or no it still makes this wrong. Plus, lions.

sanguinecupcake
That made me so damn sad. There's some cute cats in that cage.
shyavocado
So let me get this straight. The Egyptian word for cat is pronounced kind of like "meow"?
pancreas
holy shit!
NimgurTurtle
It's Mow. Like Ow with an M in front. Not Mow like a lawn. And yes, fancy that...I wonder if Egyptian for Jackal is "bark" or "ruff"?
droomph
Well, "gou" sounds like a dog and it's dog in Chinese
NimgurTurtle
haha. I like this! phonetic animals. Who knows a language where lions are rawr and hyenas are heeheeheehee?
droomph
In Chinese, lions are "hu" (called "laohu" because it's so majestic so respect) which I guess kinda sounds like "rawr"
dranislav
No, actually. Egyptian word for cat is pronounced 'otta'/'ott' (females/males). Pronunciation differs with accents.
Hatshepsess
That's Arabic not Egyptian. The Ancient Egyptian word is miw probably pronounced like meow.
dranislav
Egyptians speak arabic. & Ancient Egyptian is something close to that, but picture did not specify ancient or current language. Mau not miw.
Hatshepsess
Arabic & Egyptian are distinct languages. Most modern Egyptians speak Arabic but some still speak Egyptian. The ancient Egyptian is miw.
dranislav
Well, I'm Egyptian (I think you are too?) and I daresay I know about our languages. It is Arabic but with a heavy accent. Google -its mau.
Tiesonthewall
Just like Nyan for Japanese!
landcfan
But cat is "neko" in Japanese..
droomph
hiss.

The Chinese mao so a can is technically a mao mao.

Just deactivate the gene responsible for the development of the growth hormone. Simple, really.

I was hoping it would be wrong about eating cats...
ohhaiguys
No. Unfortunately that is a fairly common practice. As a foreigner traveling there you have to be careful what meat you are ordering.
chilsworth
No wonder I dont get along with cats.. They're too much like people.
AllIHaveHadTodayIsLikeSixGummyBearsAndSomeScotch
Cats are nothing like people. For instance, they don't talk.
chilsworth
No no, it seems like they dont talk, but they do, oh they so do.
AllIHaveHadTodayIsLikeSixGummyBearsAndSomeScotch
You're right ;)
chilsworth
You're not following proper internet etiquette.. One does not simply -agree- with people. Which means you are, in fact, of the feline race.
AllIHaveHadTodayIsLikeSixGummyBearsAndSomeScotch
What can I say, busted. Gotta be more careful next time.
sgtfrankieboy
Oh. So Human babies aren't human because they can't talk? Can't argue with that logic.
AllIHaveHadTodayIsLikeSixGummyBearsAndSomeScotch
You're missing the point. Besides, babies definitely lack many of the human characteristics like self awareness, speech and so on.
chilsworth
People are people, babies are babies, and cats are somewhere in between, behavioral wise.. anatomy was never really the point
