Meow, Roar. We cats rule the roost!
Our cats certainly think so, anyway. LOL
6 out of 10. Learned something new today
You did good! Were any of these a surprise to you?
I didn’t know cats can’t see in complete darkness.
That was a hard one. Cats can see in very low light situations, but they do require at least some light in order to see. What is interesting, though, is that they have very good hearing and can still hunt in total darkness…from sound rather than sight.
Ooooh that makes sense. I love your posts, always learning something from you.
Thank you very much. That is kind to say. It is also my goal. :))
They need just a little bit of light, much less than humans do.
10 out of 10 i like cats
Wow! That is a fantastic score!

9/10. Thanks for this wonderful quiz about my favorite creatures 🙂
Your high score shows that you like cats! lol Good job!
got 6 out of 10 right!
Were there any that really surprised you?
9/10 here, great shots too. The snowshoe looks like my Trixie!!
That is really good! All of our cats in the pictures have or had great personalities. The one with the white boots is Paws and we got him as a rescue, half feral. To this day, he will only let my wife or me anywhere near him, and he only warmed up to her about a year ago.
Oh okay now I remember a post about him, or somewhere that you mentioned that he is mostly feral. My trix is very standoffish, could be part of a breed trait as well as feral beginnings.
It is entirely possible. He had been abused by the time we got him and he gradually came to know that we wouldn’t be abusive. He is still extremely suspicious of anyone else, though, and I’m rather thankful. Still, it could be the breed.
I got 6 correct, great quiz!
Which questions and answers surprised you?
Fantistic quiz……….
Thank you. I’m glad that you liked it.

No score came up for me either, but I got 7/10. Informative quiz 🙂
I’m glad that you liked it. That is a good score!
2 mistakes, on of which was very stupid. Wonderful quiz! Big or small, I love all cats.
That is super! I also love cats, as you might be able to tell from the pictures. :))
Just one wrong – for which I blame the less-than-wild Siamese cat that insists on sitting on my knee as I type this!
LOL…the cat was helping to answer the questions!
My score didn’t come up but this was a cool quiz, my favorite animal.
8/10 Are these your cats?
That is a good score. Yes, all but 1 of the picture are cats that we have or had. Some of them are gone now.
