The smell of cat urine is often considered very unpleasant due to the presence of ammonia and other compounds, which can be quite strong and pungent. Additionally, if a cat is marking its territory or feels threatened, the odor becomes even more pronounced. Poor litter box hygiene can also contribute to the buildup of bacteria, further intensifying the smell. Regular cleaning and proper care can help mitigate this issue.

AnswerThere are many people knowing worldwide that tiger is bigger. However, Frank Mendel, a famous cat expert, says the lion is longer. Reports do not support the notion that tigers are larger. The largest cat ever founded was a male American lion. American lions died about 10000 years ago, but archaeologists had rebuilt the skeleton of American lion, and by their surprise, American lion was bigger than any modern cat. It is true that modern tigers are biggest cats but possibly the biggest cat was American lion. Cave lions, however, were the size of a liger. some archaeologists, say that this lion or lioness could take on 700 kg bison by itself.Since tigers are the biggest cat today, there could be skeletons of tigers, that are bigger than the skeleton of the American lion that they haven't found yet.

The Arabian Sand Cat, or Sand Cat, the Felis Margarita Harrisoni, is a small cat found in the desert, it's fur is coloured to blend in with the desert background, and it feeds mainly on rodents. Sand Cats greatly resemble domestic house-cats, although they clearly cannot be raised as one. Apparently, they are not violent towards humans, but, again, keeping one would require you to maintain extreme heat conditions in your house, give them a sandy and rocky environment, and give them a daily feast of rodents.
