The Cat LITERACY · KINDERGARTEN Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. Cats have been living with people for about ten thousand years. They first came near farms because grain stores attracted mice. A cat can hear sounds much higher than a person can, which helps it find small animals in long grass. Its whiskers are as wide as its body, so it can tell whether a gap is big enough to squeeze through. Cats sleep for about sixteen hours a day, mostly in short naps. Questions: 1 Why did cats first come near farms? 2 What do a cat's whiskers help it do? 3 How long does a cat sleep each day? www.littleactivity.com Kindergarten · Literacy
