Even Ultimate Cat Lovers Don’t Know These Feline Facts
Cats Can Taste Smells
Cats have an entire sensory organ in the roof of their mouth that essentially lets them taste their smells. Because cats have limited taste receptors, their hunger largely depends on their ability to smell.
This special organ in the roof of their mouth is called the vomeronasal organ or Jacobson’s organ. It has ducts that lead to the mouth and nose, which helps your cat analyze scents more thoroughly.
Cats Are Good For Your Health
Cat lovers don’t have to tell you twice about how great owning a feline is. But if you’re still not convinced, there are actually health benefits to being a cat owner!
Cats are said to be heart-healthy pets because they require less effort than owning a dog. They also relieve stress and anxiety. People who own cats also have fewer allergies than those who don’t. Also, they have a smaller carbon footprint than dogs!
