Fact a Day 2022

Cat Scouts will continue as good citizen cats doing important and helpful things for their peeps and fellow kitties.

We love you all and always will!

My Final Fact of the day.
Cat scouts are an awesome bunch of cats and I’m proud to call you my friends. Love ya!!

That reminds me of a book we read a few years ago about Parisian cats who had a mouse friend!

Too drained to post a factoid; grateful for the time we all had here to learn and share.

Although mice are best known for their love of cheese, this is actually more fiction than fact. They have a strong sense of smell and they aren’t attracted to many types of cheese that give off a strong odor. They much prefer to eat grains, seeds, and even rotting fruits and vegetables over cheeses.

Despite their tiny bodies (and even smaller stomachs!), mice eat between 15 and 20 times a day. Because of their frequent eating habits, they prefer to build their homes near food sources.

Today is the day to tell you all how much mom, Angels Maggie, Felix and I appreciate your friendship, support, humor and great times we’ve all shared. We are all for one, and one for all! We look forward to new adventures, learning and fun!

Another extreme traveler, swifts spend their winters in the tropics but then head north for the summer months. They spend most of their life on the wing, even mating and sleeping in mid-air.

A small claw halfway up their lower leg enables them to sit and roost on high ledges without being blown off.

Young gulls form nursery flocks where they will play and learn vital skills for adulthood. Nursery flocks are watched over by a few adult males and these flocks will remain together until the birds are old enough to breed.

Seagulls can drink both fresh and salt water. Most animals are unable to do this, but seagulls have a special pair of glands right above their eyes which is specifically designed to flush the salt from their systems through openings in the bill.

Seagulls are attentive and caring parents. The male and female pair for life and they take turns incubating the eggs, and feeding and protecting the chicks.

Seagulls are very clever. They learn, remember and even pass on behaviours, such as stamping their feet in a group to imitate rainfall and trick earthworms to come to the surface.

What a loser we are. Mom lost track of posting facts when her sister had surgery and mom had to stay with her. now that shes home she hasn’t done it because she was sad but we said no we need to go to the end because we are scouts. So Im going to catch up

he swifts are a family, Apodidae, of highly aerial birds. They are superficially similar to swallows, but are not closely related to any passerine species. Swifts are placed in the order Apodiformes with hummingbirds. The treeswifts are closely related to the true swifts, but form a separate family, the Hemiprocnidae.
