The internet loves cats, but did you know the print on a cat's nose has a unique rigid pattern just like a fingerprint?

Or that catnip really is like a drug for cats?

One of its volatile oils called Nepetalactone enters the cats' nasal tissue and acts like an artificial cat pheromone.

The sensory neurons are stimulated and ultimately trigger a behavioral and sexual response in the brain and body in around 80% of cats,

which must be nice, considering cats spend around 85% of their day doing absolutely nothing.

Drinking, eating, defecating and even mating only take up about 4% combined.

But when they are moving, they always seem to land on their feet.

This is because of something called the "Righting Reflex".

Not only do cats have very sensitive motion and gravity sensing abilities allowing them to determine which way is down, they also have an extremely flexible backbone and no collarbone.

By bending in the middle and using fast twitch muscle fibers, they can whip around without ever changing their net angular momentum.
