So Amazing...

The National Geographic Channel has a series named "In the Womb." It documents the gestation period and birth of people and animals. It is FASCINATING. They have 4-D ultrasound images and computer graphics showing how the fetus develops. I learned so much watching the cats version. Even George and Gracie were enthralled...

-- Cats have morning sickness, too.
-- A cat's hearing is so strong that it can detect the footsteps of a mouse at 30 feet away.
-- At 52 days of development, they "breathe," hiccup, and wipe their paws across their mouths to imitate cleaning.
-- Lions can't purr and cats can't roar.
-- Kittens can't hear for 12 days after birth.
-- Kittens' eyes are enormous in relation to the size of their heads. It would be like humans having eyes the size of tennis balls.
