Ailurophilia is the "love of cats."

A cat's heart beats twice as fast as a human heart, at 110 to 140 beats per minute.

The nose pad of a cat is ridged in a pattern that is unique, just like the fingerprint of a human.

The largest known litter (with all surviving) was that of a Persian in South Africa named Bluebell.  Bluebell gave birth to 14 kittens in one litter.

The weirdest cat on record was a female called Mincho who went up a tree in Argentina and didn't come down again until she died six years later.  While ‘treed’, she managed to have three litters!
