Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. All cats are born with what colour eyes?

Answer: Blue

All cats are born with blue eyes. Their adult eye colour will start to appear within three to twelve weeks.

2. The Egyptian Mau is generally considered to be the oldest cat breed.

Answer: True

Since cats were considered sacred in Ancient Egypt, we do have evidence of their existence at least three to four thousand years ago. This is based on drawings and mummified remains. Domesticated cats are believed to have evolved from African wildcats.

3. Domestic cats belong to which sub-family of the family Felidae?

Answer: Felinae

The family Felidae is divided into five sub-families: Felinae, Pantherinae, Acinonychinae, and the extinct Machairodontinae and Proailurinae. Domestic cats belong to the sub-family Felinae.

4. What is the largest domestic non-hybrid cat breed?

Answer: Maine Coon

Originating in the U.S. state of Maine, the Maine Coon is well known for its large size. Males generally weigh between 6 and 8 kgs whilst females weigh between 3.5 and 5.5 kgs.

5. Adult cats meow to communicate with each other.

Answer: False

Adult cats don't meow at each other, but kittens meow to communicate with their mothers. It seems that meowing in adults is used only to communicate with people.

6. Which flavour are cats unable to taste?

Answer: Sweet

Cats are some of the few animals that can't taste sweetness because they lack the receptors that allow their brains to recognize sweet tastes.

7. Which of the following cat breeds have no fur?

Answer: Sphynx, Bambino, Donskoy, Ukrainian Levkoy

Owning a Sphynx, Bambino, Donskoy or Ukrainian Levkoy is a good choice for people with allergies, as these cats are among a number of breeds that are hairless.

8. Which domestic cat was bred to resemble a tiger?

Answer: Toyger

Toygers are a cross between a Bengal cat and a shorthaired tabby. Their striped fur resembles that of a tiger.

9. Approximately how many different sounds can a cat make?

Answer: 100

Cats can make roughly 100 different sounds which include meowing, trilling, purring and chattering. Dogs can only make ten.

10. What percentage of a cat's bones are in its tail?

Answer: 10

Around 10% of a cat's bones are in its tail. These bones are known as "caudal" vertebrae.
