Myth: Cats always land on their feet.
Fact: While cats instinctively fall feet first and may survive falls from high places, they also may receive broken bones in the process. Some kind of screening on balconies and windows can help protect pets from disastrous falls.

Myth: Cats should drink milk everyday.
Fact: Most cats like milk, but do not need it if properly nourished. Also, many will get diarrhea if they drink too much milk. If it is given at all, the amount should be small and infrequent.

Myth: A cat's sense of balance is in its whiskers.

Fact: Cats use their whiskers as "feelers" but not to maintain their balance.

Myth: Cats are MEAN!!
Fact: No they are NOT poor cuddly fur balls can only be as mean as you would be if someone stepped on your tail, uh, i mean foot!

    I have seen a cat that didn't land on her feet, and I know why they should.

    Cats whiskers are sensors. My local Furry Person reacted to a ball of wool as though she'd been electrocuted, even did it again when she knew it was there.

    I got a story idea for a book based on the fact that if you bring a cat into a room, it will find the most comfortable place in the room. The idea was Ultimate Comfort, and they enlisted a Scottish wildcat to research it.

    Another fact about cats is that if you have kitten or several around, you don't need TV.
