While there's no doubt that your cat is a cuddly little fur ball, he’s also a natural-born predator. In fact, domestic cats are considered a globally invasive species, and one 2013 report found that cats kill 1.4 to 3.7 million birds yearly. Unfortunately, the news about your little sofa lion’s capabilities only gets grimmer from there. Cats kill more than 20 billion mammals each year, including rats, squirrels, and rabbits. However, this surprises many cat owners, especially if their sweet kitty happily purrs all day and snuggles with you each night.
A study of cat whiskers provides more insight into why cats kill animals. Here’s what researchers found and what it teaches us about our feline friends. You may be surprised at what you learn!

Kitties are naturally fastidious, and that instinct serves their health and safety well. While many cats are thorough self-groomers, some enjoy having a little help every now and again and might groom fellow felines. If you're wondering, "Why do cats groom each other?" -- don't worry; this behavior is normal and even indicates that they are trusting and bonded with each other.
