Fancy Yourself a Cat Fancier? Prove it by Passing this Feline Behavior Quiz!

What greater gift than the love of a cat. ― Charles Dickens

The smallest feline is a masterpiece. —Leonardo da Vinci 

In the fierce, age-old debate of Cat vs. Dog, Dickens, da Vinci and many of their fellow giants of Western Civilization have come down firmly on Team Feline. And there are plenty of cat people among us ordinary folks too: a 2018 survey revealed that Americans own nearly 60 million cats collectively. While the canine camp may sneer that cats are cold and aloof, cat lovers know the very special satisfaction that comes with earning a cat's trust and affection. Not to mention that cats are cleaner, quieter, cheaper, mellower (and far superior mouse hunters) than dogs are.

Cats: Not Quite as Inscrutable as You Thought

The problem with cats is that they get the same exact look whether they see a moth or an ax-murderer.―Paula Poundstone

Ah, the inscrutable cat. Even the most passionate feline fans can acknowledge that cats can be somewhat difficult to read. (And not a few might admit to getting a surprise claw swipe during a petting session once or twice). Since they can't tell us what they're feeling, kitty owners need to rely on non-verbal communication. Luckily, cats give us many clues through their highly expressive body language. An understanding of their extraordinarily keen senses and their evolution as both predators and prey helps round out the picture. This quiz covers some of the curious behaviors of the housecat and how to read the physical clues that reveal much about their inner feelings.
