~ Close Up On Cats ~

Did you know tt...

• There are scent glands on the chin, temples and the corners of the mouth
  as well as at the base of the tail.

• Cats' sense of smell is much more sensitive than ours and the leaving of
  scent messages for other cats is an important part of their language. Such
  messages are left after a cat has rubbed against furniture and trees and objects outside at head height. The scent is thought to communicate to other cats
  that the area is 'taken'.

• A cat will rub against his owner and other cats within his group, thus he both marks and is marked in return, forming a common bond.
