Cat Trivia

  • A group of adult cats is known as a clowder, a clutter, or a pounce. A group of kittens is a kindle, a litter, or an intrigue.
  • Cats were so loved by the Egyptians that they sometimes mummified a mouse to accompany the cat into the afterworld.
  • The small patch of white fur on a cat's chest is known as a "locket".
  • Cats are the sleepiest of all mammals. If you total up all the cat naps, your cat sleeps about 16 hours a day!
  • Cats offer sandpaper kisses due to tiny knobs called papillae on the surface of their tongues. They are shaped like backward hooks and are designed to hold food and to provide the abrasiveness cats need for good grooming.
  • Cats do walk differently from dogs! Cats, along with giraffes and camels, are the only animals with a gait in which front and hind legs move together first on one side, then on the other. Cats also are the only clawed creatures that walk on their claws rather than their paw pads. Cats are frequently born with six or more toes on one paw.
  • Cats’ whiskers, so long and stiff, should never be trimmed. Cats use their whiskers to find their way in the dark, determine whether or not he/she can get into or out of a tight place, and a host of other navigation tasks.

Kerrick and Denali

The next time you are at a Cats Cradle open house be sure to check out these two opposites.

Denali is a 1-2 year old high-energy cat.  He loves exploring and is quiet the athlete.  He is a dominant cat who likes to be in charge of other pets.  Denali is a muscular boy who jumps like a wild cat.  If you are looking for an adventurous guy he might be the one for you.





Kerrick is an 8-10 year old male.  Kerrick is loving and gentle and likes to be held.  He struggles with some of the other cats, but I'm sure would settle in nicely to his own home.  He prefers to be up high or in a wall box at the shelter to avoid the other cats in the room.  When things are calm he will come down for some head rubs and snuggles in someones arms.  If you need a sweet sole who will sit with you and be a loyal mate, please check on Kerrick.
