Sometimes the prints don't come out so good and other times they print real nice! The ink I'm using is old and thick, made in 1976
Cats can hear sounds too faint or too high in frequency for human ears, such as those made by mice and other small animals
[ 31 ] These traits include their small size, social nature, obvious body language, love of play and relatively high intelligence
Attested only from the 16th century, it may have been introduced from Dutch poes or from Low German puuskatte, related to Swedish kattepus, or Norwegian pus, pusekatt
Domestic cats are similar in size to the other members of the genus Felis, typically weighing between 4 and 5 kg (9 and 10 lb)
[ 28 ] Some breeds, however, such as the Maine Coon, can occasionally exceed 11 kg (25 lb)
Conversely, very small cats, less than 2 kg (4 lb), have been reported
[ 48 ] The world record for the largest cat is 21 kg (50 lb)
[ 49 ] The smallest adult cat ever officially recorded weighed around 1 kg (2 lb)
In the Boston area, the average feral adult male will weigh 4 kg (9 lb) and average feral female 3 kg (7 lb)
[ 50 ] Cats average about 23–25 cm (9–10 in) in height and 46 cm (18 in) in head/body length (males being larger than females), with tails averaging 30 cm (12 in) in length
[ 23 ] Cats are unusually dependent on a constant supply of the amino acid arginine, and a diet lacking arginine causes marked weight loss and can be rapidly fatal
Cats' hearing is also sensitive and among the best of any mammal, [ 79 ] being most acute in the range of 500 Hz to 32 kHz
Cats have an acute sense of smell, due in part to their well-developed olfactory bulb and a large surface of olfactory mucosa, about 5.8 cm 2 (0.90 in 2 ) in area, which is about twice that of humans
[ 93 ] Another possible explanation is that height gives the cat a better observation point, allowing it to survey its territory
The height required for this to occur is around 90 cm (3 ft)
Manx cats) also have this ability, since a cat mostly moves its hind legs and relies on conservation of angular momentum to set up for landing, and the tail is little used for this feat
