We’re not talking just about their well-known ability to always land on their feet; the phenomenon is known as the “righting reflex.” It’s felines’ natural ability to spin around and land on their feet when they fall. Kittens begin to learn it at approximately 3 weeks of age. By the time they’re 7 weeks old, they are able to land perfectly. Our little house pets share 95.6% of their genetic makeup with mighty tigers. Some of their behavioral habits, such as scent and urine marking and prey stalking, are similar to those of tigers. However, one of them seemed to be ambidextrous. On the other hand, 20 out of 21 female cats used their right paw to perform the same task. But Blackie didn’t receive the actual money; it was split between three cat charities. They were instructed to look after all the needs of his pet until his very last day. As per Guinness World Records, Blackie is still the richest cat in the world. In case you are wondering, that sum today would be worth around £18.5 million ($32 million).
