A cat’s amazing feat of wall climbing – some examples

PoC avatarPosted on May 17, 2022 by Michael BroadMay 17, 2022

When I first wrote this article in 2009, there were very few pictures and videos of cats climbing walls. I’m referring to the outside walls of buildings, usually rough cast walls or pebble dash walls so that their claws can … continue reading…

PoC avatarPosted on May 13, 2022 by Michael BroadMay 13, 2022

In another example of the wonderful strength and athleticism of the domestic cat, this superb individual literally runs up the underside of a staircase. He is running upside down as if he is running on the floor and I find … continue reading…

Cat does somersaults to order

Watch a cat do somersaults to order and entertain yourself

PoC avatarPosted on January 17, 2022 by Michael BroadJanuary 17, 2022

The Internet has fallen in love with an adorable cat who does somersaults to order. I think their name is Mischo. I don’t think this happened because of deliberate training but, rather, informal self-imposed training for the cat’s entertainment and … continue reading…

Would the house cat get a medal in the Olympics 100m?

PoC avatarPosted on August 15, 2021 by Michael BroadAugust 15, 2021

We can’t be absolutely precise but the standard house cat would make the Olympic final and probably get a medal, even a gold. It would be about keeping her on track! And not making a false start! The best moggies … continue reading…

Galloping cat

4 legs are better than 2 legs when it comes to speed

PoC avatarPosted on July 27, 2021 by Michael BroadJuly 27, 2021

Are cats faster than squirrels?

PoC avatarPosted on July 20, 2021 by Michael BroadJuly 20, 2021

No, domestic cats are not faster than squirrels and I am pretty convinced that 99% of people reading this article (which will be very few!) already know that. It’s pretty obvious because squirrels are much smaller than domestic cats. Their … continue reading…

Are cats faster than rabbits?

PoC avatarPosted on July 20, 2021 by Michael BroadJuly 20, 2021

Caracal leaping

How can cats jump so high?

PoC avatarPosted on February 8, 2021 by Michael BroadFebruary 8, 2021

The two main reasons why cats can jump so high is because most of their muscles consist of fast-twitch fatiguing cells. They give the cat its speed and these muscles allow them to jump several times their own length in … continue reading…

Hungry Cat Demonstrates Feline Strength

PoC avatarPosted on March 22, 2019 by Michael BroadMarch 22, 2019
