One “cool cat” fun fact is understanding the reason why many people have cat allergies. One out of nine children between the ages of 6 and 19 are diagnosed with an allergy to cats. However, most are mistaken to think that such allergies are caused by cat fur or dander. The real cause of the itchy, watering eyes and sneezing reactions comes from a protein Fel- D-1 found on cat skin. The protein, which is one-tenth the size of a dust allergen, enters the air on bits of cat hair and skin. Because it is so small and light, it can stay airborne for hours.

One “cool cat” fun fact is that unlike dogs, whose tails convey a happy, social mood when in motion, cats have extraordinary control over their tails, and use them in very expressive ways. When a cat’s tail is straight and high up, it may signal confidence and contentment, and a slight twitch at the top may indicate a very happy moment. If a cat’s tail appears curved, like the shape of question mark, it could mean that he or she may be in the mood to play and have fun. If the tail “swishes” slowly from side-to-side, a cat may be concentrating on something very specific in its path.
