Have you ever wondered why your house cats can’t roar like some wild cats? It turns out that it has to do with the physiology of a cat’s voice box: cats can either purr or roar, but they can’t do both.

If you missed any of the stories featured on the Conscious Cat this week, here’s a recap: on Sunday, we reflected on putting your energy toward positivity, on Monday, we addressed the need for cats to get regular exercise, on Tuesday, we featured adorable Halloween coasters, on Wednesday, I shared a Ruby memory, on Thursday, I wrote about the importance of keeping meal time stress free for cats, and on Friday, I voiced my opinion on Halloween costumes for cats.
We know cats can squeeze into some pretty small spaces, but the kitty in today’s video surely wins the prize – enjoy!
