Have you ever wondered what makes cats so light on their feet? They're digitigrades by nature—meaning they walk on their toes—which is what affords them their amazing pouncing ability.

There's a reason you've never seen your cat try to sneak a bite of the cookies or pie you've left on the counter: Like a number of other carnivores, cats' taste receptors aren't coded to pick up on sweets. "They don't taste sweet the way we do," Joe Brand, biochemist and associate director at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, told Scientific American. "They're lucky. Cats really have bad teeth as it is."

If your cat freaks out about catnip, they're actually in the minority. Though scientists don't know exactly why some cats react to it the way they do, they have determined that sensitivity to catnip is inherited, with cats that have one sensitive parent having a one-in-two chance of inheriting this sensitivity themselves. This rises to a three-in-four chance if both parents are catnip fans. That means many—in fact, most—cats are not responsive to the stuff.

While hours of grooming do help a cat keep clean, ensuring a shiny coat and removing dander and loose hairs, this process is about more than just cleanliness. Among the other benefits of dedicated grooming is that cats are able to control their temperature—while they can sweat through their paws, they can't sweat much elsewhere, so licking serves as a cooling system with their own saliva helping chill them out.

It's also a way for the cat to ensure they smell like themselves. Ever notice a cat immediately start to groom after you pet them? It's no knock against you, they just want to make sure they are giving off their own unique scent

Next time your partner teases you about how long you spend getting ready, you can point out that it's nothing compared to how much time a cat spends primping and prepping on an average day. As the SPCA of Texas describes, "cats spend at least five hours a day grooming and cleaning themselves."

The world's wealthiest cat ever recorded was Blackie, the last surviving of millionaire antiques dealer Ben Rea's 15 felines, to whom he left his £7 million (or about $13 million USD at the time) fortune in 1988. The odd benefaction was made out of spite: the reclusive Rea did not recognize any members of his own family and the money was left to three cat charities with the instruction that they ensure that one of the only individuals he could trust was looked after following his death.

The domestic cat Creme Puff has held the record for oldest cat ever recorded since she passed away in 2005 at the age of 38 years and three days. The cat's owner, Austin, Texas native Jake Perry explained the secret to her longevity as a diet of dry cat food supplemented by broccoli, eggs, turkey, bacon and coffee—plus an eyedropper of red wine. If that sounds unlikely to help keep a cat going, consider that Perry was also the owner of the previous oldest-cat-ever record holder, Grandpa Rex Allen, who lived to be 34 years and 2 months old.

There are few more pleasing sounds to a cat owner's ears than a contented purr coming from their pet. But cats purr for more reasons than just to convey how content they are at a given moment. They have also been found to purr when hungry, injured or frightened. This may be because purring serves as a "self-soothing" device that cats may access during stressful situations, per Wired. Just as you may practice deep breathing when trying to calm yourself down, it's a behavior that tells the body to relax.

You already know that cats can make some humans stuffy and sneezy, but did you know it can also work the other way around? Sandy Willis, a veterinary internist who advises the American Veterinary Medical Association, explained to Popular Science that many cats not only suffer seasonal allergies to pollen and grass, but in rare cases can actually be allergic to people. Though, if your cat has a bad reaction to you, it's more likely due to perfume, soap, or laundry detergent that you are using than anything specific to you

Halloween is even older than Christianity itself. It all started as a pre-Christian Celtic festival called Samhain, which means "summer's end." Held around the first of November, the feast recognized the final day of the fall harvest and spirits crossing over, since they believed the veil between the living and spirit world were thinnest at that time. People in Ireland, the United Kingdom and Northern France used to ward off ghosts by lighting sacrificial bonfires, and – you guessed it – wearing costumes, according to History.com.
