Many people love cats. However what makes cats even more lovable are unique facts that separate cats from other types of pets. For example, cats can jump five times their own height, which makes cats great high jumpers in track and field.

Another unique fact is that cats can run up to 30mph over short distances. So if you ever try to outrun a cat, you’ll fail. House cats also share 95.6% of their genetic makeup with tigers, which means your cat already has the genetic disposition to rip you apart with its teeth and claws if you don’t do what it wants.
