Cats have five toes on each front paw, but only four toes on each back paw. Cats have true fur, in that they have both an undercoat and an outer coat. Newborn kittens have closed ear canals that don't begin to open for nine days. When the eyes open, they are always blue at first. They change color over a period of months to the final eye color.
Most cats have no eyelashes.
A cat cannot see directly under its nose. This is why the cat cannot seem to find tidbits on the floor. It is a common belief that cats are color blind. However, recent studies have shown that cats can see blue, green and red. A large majority of white cats with blue eyes are deaf.
