Quiz: Which Of These Cat Facts Are True?

Adult cats will not miaow at each other, though kittens do mew to get their mother's attention. In fact, [cats can even use their miaows to manipulate us](https://www.journalvetbehavior.com/article/S1558-7878(15)00154-9/fulltext), and will mimic a babies' cry when they want food from us.

It's true!

Adult cats only miaow to communicate with humans

Cat purring cannot disrupt radio waves, I made that up.

False!

Foxes are their own species, who are more closely related to dogs than cats as they are part of the genus Canidae (which also contains dogs, hyenas, and wolves). You could not cross-breed a cat and a dog as they are different species. They also would not like it, so don't bloody try it.

Foxes are the result of cross-breeding cats with dogs

Of course they're capable of love, you cretin!!! They're [only pretending to be indifferent](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0376635716303424) to us humans.

Cats only sweat through their [paws](https://indianapublicmedia.org/amomentofscience/do-cats-overheat/).

They [also lick](https://www.iol.co.za/lifestyle/family/pets/so-thats-why-cats-constantly-lick-themselves-14256501) themselves to clean themselves, to socialise, and sometimes out of stress.

Cats lick themselves to get human scent off

I just made that up. If that were true, then all the strays out there would be ruling over us.

If released into the wild, domestic cats will grow larger as they re-adapt to living in the wild

Any moisture around a cats eyes is a medical issue, not an emotional one. That said, cats are capable of grieving and being sad so be nice to them.
