Top 10 Myths About Cats - as part of the series on cat and pets by GeoBeats.

Myth #10: Cats can always land on their feet. Not always - they can get hurt during falls.

Myth #9: Declawing is a minor procedure. It is actually very painful and can lead to health problems.

Myth #8: Cats and dogs are arch enemies. In reality, they can get along very well.

Myth #7: Cats are low maintenance. It's inaccurate as they require just as attention as other pets.

Myth #6: Cats can eat dog food. Cats have specific dietary needs that can't be satisfied with dog food.

Myth #5: Cats can't get rabies. Just like dogs, cats are susceptible to rabies.

Myth #4: Cats are happy outdoors. Quite the opposite - domesticated cats should mostly be indoors.

Myth #3: Cats can be vegetarian just like me. Not true - they need animal based diet.

Myth #2: Cats can be left alone for few days. They should not be unattended for more than 12 hours.

Myth #1: Black cat is supposed to bring bad luck in many cultures, which obviously has no scientific basis.
