EF058 CAT FACTS
If you have a cat, you are sure to have at least one piece of furniture bearing scars of your pet’s furious
scratching sprees. But did you ever wonder why your cat scratches and tears your furniture?
People believe cats tear furniture to sharpen their claws. While this is true, it is not true in the
way most people imagine sharpening of claws in cats is really the ‘shedding’ of worn out sheaths
to reveal glistening new claws underneath, and not the sharpening of blunted points. Sometimes,
running your hands over the place torn by your cat will reveal claws that you might think has been
ripped out accidentally. In fact, the old outer layer was ready to be discarded. It simply falls off
when the cat scratches, against a rough surface, Interestingly; cats do not employ this powerful
“stropping” action with their hind feet. Instead, they use their teeth to chew off the old outer
casings from their hind claws. Stropping is limited to the front feet.
Another important purpose of stropping with the front feet is to exercise and strengthen the
claws, vital in catching prey, fighting rivals and climbing. It also helps in marking space. There are
scent glands in the underside of the cat’s front paws and these are rubbed vigorously against the
fabric of the furniture being clawed.

Questions:
1) What is the general belief of people about cats?
2) What is stropping? Comp C 1x5 A
3) How do cats remove old casings from their hind claws?
4) How do cats use their strengthened claws?
5) Suggest a suitable title for the passage?
