Fun Fact #1 – All kittens have blue eyes at birth. That’s right. After right around the two-week mark, their eye color begins to change once they open their eyes.

Fun Fact #2 – Dogs are not color blind. This is a common misnomer. While dogs have worse vision than humans, they do not live in grayscale like many people once believed.

Fun Fact #3 – Cats are lactose intolerant. Although cats are often associated with slurping a bowl of delicious milk, giving a cat milk after kitten-hood often leads to an upset stomach and or other ugly side effects.

Fun Fact #4 – Domestic cats sleep about 67% of the day. Kinda like Garfield (but way less lasagna). Sixteen hours is the average amount of beauty rest required by household felines.

Fun Fact #5 – Cats and dogs have allergies just like us. Studies have shown that smoke, dust, and pollen are among the allergens that leave our furry friends inflamed. Some dogs are even prescribed medications such as Benedryl to deal with severe symptoms.

Fun Fact #6 – A group of kittens is considered a kindle, and a group of cats is classified as a clowder or a pounce. A group of young puppies is considered a litter, while a dog group is commonly known as a pack.
