Did you know there are over 93 million cats in the United States??? Over one-third, 33% of U.S. households own at least one cat. Over half, 56% of cat owners own more than one cat. With that being said, there are certain things that us humans can do to help our cats get along together.
Here are 10 important tips that will definitely help you if you have a multi-cat household. By the way, these tips apply if you have indoor or outdoor cats.
1. Patience is key. Cats can take up to one year to bond with each other.
2. Have all your cats spayed or neutered to help reduce behavioral problems.
3. If a cat fight breaks out, never separate the cats by hand. Distract them by making a loud noise, then place them in difffernt locations.
4. Ensure that your cats burn excess energy through exercise. Provide numerous toys for each cat and spend some time each day playing with them.
5. Most cats do not like a lot of noise and commotion. Give them a quiet space/area to be able to escape and reduce stress.
6. Spread litter boxes throughout your house and provide at least one box per cat.
7.”Vertical space" is very important in the feline world. Cats love to climb things. They have incredible balance. If you really want your cats to be happy, install kitty condos and cat trees throughout your house.
8. Establish a routine and feed all your cats at one time. Never give treats to one cat and not another. Provide separate food and water bowls for each cat.
9. Learn and understand feline body language. Study your cat's eyes, ears and vocal patterns. Notice their different moods. Even the position and the way your cat's tail moves means something.
Create an environment where your cats are happy and calm...not angry, nervous or stressed out.
10. Try to ensure that each cat's needs are met, and accept each cat as an individual family member. This is the most important step in developing and maintaining a peaceful multi-cat household.

2.) A cat's normal body temperature is 101.5 degrees.
3.) An adult cat has 30 teeth.
4.) Cats eyes come in three shapes- round, slanted and almond.
5.) There are three main body types for a cat. Cobby type is a compact body, deep chest, short legs and broad head. The eyes are large and round. Muscular type is a sturdy body and round, full-cheeked head. Foreign type is a slender body, with long legs and a long tail. The head is wedge-shaped, with tall ears and slanting eyes.
6.) Ailurophilia (pronounced ai-lu-ro-phil-i-a) is the "love of cats."
7.) Cats need 1/6th the amount of light that humans do to see. Their night vision is amazing!
8.) If your cat is near you, and his/her tail is quivering, that's the greatest expression of love your cat can give you.
9.) The domestic cat is the only cat able to hold its tail vertically while walking. All wild cats hold their tails horizontally or tucked between their legs while walking.
10.) Cats are the sleepiest of all mammals. They spend about 16 hours of each day sleeping. Normal cats sleep 2/3's of their life away.
11.) A cat will almost never "meow" at another cat. This sound is reserved for humans.
12.) A cat's ear pivots 180 degrees...that's half a circle. Cats have 30 muscles in each ear, and they use twelve or more muscles to control their ear movement.
13.) Cats are more active during the evening hours.
14.) Cats sense of smell is 14 times stronger than that of humans.
15.) Your cat loves you and can "read" your moods. If you're sad or under stress, you may also notice a difference in your cat's behavior.
16.) Have you ever tried to feed your cat food that was just taken out of the refrigerator? You really shouldn't. Most cats prefer their food at room temperature, and many will refuse any food that is too cold or too hot.
17.) There are more than 500 million domestic cats in the world, with 33 different breeds.
18.) A cat can have up to five liters in 1 year. They can have 6 or more kittens each time. During her productive life, one female cat could have more than 100 kittens.
19.) Cats spend up to one-third of their waking hours grooming themselves.
20.) A cat has more bones than a human. An adult human has 206 bones, but the cat has 230 (and up to 250 bones because bones may fuse together as the cat ages).
