Cats Are Faster Runners Than Usain Bolt

On average, cats can reach speeds of up to 30 miles per hour! For reference, that’s just a hair above Olympian Usain Bolt’s average speed, which is around 27 miles per hour.

While most cats are pretty fast in general, biology does play a role in how fast they can actually run. It mostly depends on what breed your cat is. Egyptian Maus, Abyssinians, Somalis, Bengals, Savannahs, Manxes, Siamese Cats, Ocicats, and Orientals are among the fastest.
