If you’re a cat person, you probably think you know them pretty well . . . and also not at all, because they’re an enigma.  But here’s something you’d think you would know:  .How many TOES does the average cat have?

Only 17% of cat owners got it right in a recent poll.  The answer is 18 . . . 10 in front, and eight in back.  But that said, it’s not uncommon for cats to have a few extra digits.  The record is 28.

92% of cat owners THINK they know a lot about cats.  But here are a few more cat facts you might not be aware of . . .

1.  46% of cat owners don’t know cats are lactose intolerant.  So cow’s milk isn’t actually good for them.

2.  Only 53% know cats tend to drink more water if it’s running water.  So, fountains are better than a dish.

3.  Only 44% know cats sometimes purr when they’re happy OR stressed out.

Last stat:  Seven in 10 cat owners feel like they can usually tell what their cat is thinking.
