The word “tabby” originally referred to a type of silk fabric
You're right!
Sorry, You've got it wrong...
Before it described a cat’s coat, “tabby” was the name of a patterned silk fabric. The word eventually came to describe cats whose markings resembled the fabric’s stripes and swirls. A little textile history hiding in your cat’s fur!
The Aristocats was the first Disney movie to feature cats
You're right!
Sorry, You've got it wrong...
Cats were stealing scenes long before The Aristocats (1970)! Figaro appeared in Pinocchio (1940), Lucifer in Cinderella (1950) and the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland (1951). In The Aristocats, a mother cat and her three kittens take center stage.
The Egyptian goddess Bastet was depicted as a woman with a cat’s head
You're right!
Sorry, You've got it wrong...
A feline face with divine status! Bastet was originally depicted as a lioness, but later also appeared as a domestic cat or a woman with a cat’s head. She was associated with protection and fertility, making her much more than a pretty face.
Andy Warhol once created an entire art book dedicated to cats
You're right!
Sorry, You've got it wrong...
Warhol’s 25 Cats Name Sam and One Blue Pussy features colorful cat illustrations, with lettering by his mother, Julia Warhola. Despite its title, the book contains 17 cat illustrations. And “Name” isn’t our typo: his mother left out the “d,” and Warhol kept it!
In Japan, a waving cat is a symbol of saying goodbye
You're right!
Sorry, You've got it wrong...
That raised paw is inviting good things in! The maneki-neko, or beckoning cat, is a symbol of good fortune. A raised right paw is traditionally said to attract wealth, while a raised left paw welcomes people or customers. So this cat is beckoning, not waving goodbye!
