About This Quiz

Cats have a way of seeming mysterious and familiar at the same time. One minute they are curled up like royalty, the next they are sprinting across the room as if chasing invisible prey. This quiz rounds up a little bit of everything that makes cats so fascinating: their bodies, senses, communication, hunting instincts, and the long history of living alongside humans. You will run into questions about whiskers, purring, night vision, and those quirky behaviors that make cat owners laugh and scratch their heads.
