Celebrity Cats - A Trivia Quiz
Cats are very popular pets. My family and I have several, and we spoil them terribly. And it seems you can’t even go to Facebook or your favorite forums without someone posting photos of their own treasured felines. Despite their reputation for independence and finicky ways, cats are great companions - often hailed as superior to dogs (usually by their prejudiced owners, of course!)
The following trivia quiz is all about famous and celebrity felines, from real cats to our favorite fictional ones. If you’d like to play along, the rules are simple: get out a sheet of paper and pencil or pen. Number your paper 1-16. Scroll down to the Questions section and read the first trivia question, and from the choice of four answer choices, select one. Mark this on your paper and proceed to the next question. Below the Questions section is the Answers section, where you’ll check to see how many correct answers you got. Each correct answer 1-15 is worth 10 points, while question #16 (bonus question) is worth 50 points, making for a potential perfect score of 200 points.
Good luck and have fun!
