Something I did not know

I have lived with animals, mostly dogs (well one dog) and several cats all my life. I used to work at the Toledo Zoo and have watched all sorts of animal programs. I have also read lots of books on how to take care of dogs, cats, horses ect. So I consider myself, well not an expert, but knowledgeable on the animals that live with and around us. But I have to say that today I learned something that I was not aware of. I guess you could say that a day you don't learn something new is a day that is lost to you, but this was something that I can honestly say that I would have been happier not knowing. I was in the bathroom taking care of a few necessities and our black Siamese Shadow wandered into the bathroom to see what I was doing. After rubbing up against me a few times he wandered into the shower. About three seconds later I heard my cat belch. Yes, a full blown, very rude sounding belch. I was so surprised. I did not know that cats could belch. I know that alot of animals fart, but a belching cat was a new one on me. I moved the shower curtain and said "Goodness sakes Shadow, need a napkin or something"? He ran out of the shower and stopped in the doorway. He had the good grace to look embarrassed. So I have learned something new today.
