Same which is the false answer!

1.The worlds smallest cat is a male blue point Himalayan-Persian named "Tinker Toy." He is just 2.75 inches tall and 7.5 inches long!

2. The largest litter was produced by a BurmeseSiamese mother. There were 19 kittens. However, 4 of the kittens were stillborn.

3. The largest feline ever recorded is a captive Siberian tiger named "Jaipur." He is 10 feet 11 inches long and weighs 932 lbs! "Jaipur" lives in New Jersey.

4. Cardinal Richelieu of France - (1585 - 1642) This Prince of the Church reserved one of his rooms for cats. His cats even had their own servants!

5. Cats have five toes on each front paw, but only four toes on each back paw.

6. Cats lack a true collarbone. Because of this lack, cats can generally squeeze their bodies through any space they can get their heads through.

7. A cat taken far from its home can return to it. But if a cat's owners move far from its home, the cat can't find them.

8. To purr, cats use extra tissue in the larynx (voice box).

9. In relation to their body size, cats have the smallest eyes of any mammal.

10. Chemicals can be absorbed through a cat's paws.

I am going to pick number 7! I have seen shows on TV and read stories where people moved and left their cat at their old house thinking that is what the pet would want and the furball showed up at the new house.

number 9 is false. the eyes are not smallest in relation to body size. They are biggest I think. The toe question is true unless you are Squashy. He has much more toes on every foot.

I agree with Julie. I think that #9 is false. All of the cats that I've ever seen have big, beautiful eyes.
