Did You Know?

• "Cats can successfully navigate through mazes in complete darkness, but lose that ability if their whiskers are cut off (they wander aimlessly)."
• "The first astronaut from Earth was not a man, but a dog. She was a mixed-breed, 11-pound Russian dog named Laika ("barker," in Russian). She became the first creature to travel outside the Earth's atmosphere to outer space..."
• "A female ferret can die if she goes into heat and cannot find a mate or is not spayed."
• "Cats were worshipped by ancient Egyptians and other cultures, and still are in a few parts of the world. In Egypt, killing a cat was a crime punishable by death. Many were mummified when they died, and embalmed mice placed with them in their tombs."
