Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What cat word is a subterranean chamber used for burial?

Answer: catacomb

Catacombs are underground chambers used by the ancient Mediterranean peoples, especially the early Christians. The largest and most famous group of catacombs is located outside of Rome. The word "catacomb" is most likely derived from the Latin "ad catacumbas", meaning "at the hollows", referring to the chambers of a hollow south of Rome. Later Christians continued the practice of interring their dead in catacombs, which they called "koimeteria", or "sleeping places".
2. If you have a cat, he may enjoy Nepeta cataria, better known as...

Answer: catnip

That substance that makes puddies happy is classified as a perennial herb of the mint family. Although native to Europe, it has become common in North America; some people even grow their own for their furry friends. The plant's sharp fragrance is what makes it so endearing to cats.
3. If you suffer from catalepsy, what are your symptoms?

Answer: loss of voluntary motion

I hope you got this right... Catalepsy is an abnormal nervous condition in which the face, limbs, and body lose their voluntary motion and become rigid for what may be several hours. This rare condition is usually a symptom of a neurologic or mental disorders, such as epilepsy, a brain tumor, or schizophrenia.
4. Your cat, Cathy, is high on catnip and knocks over a candle, setting the rug on fire. You could say that she has started one of these.

Answer: catastrophe

A catastrophe is a sudden, terrible event (not necessarily caused by a feline) such as a flood, storm, or fire. From the Greek "katastroph", an overturning, ruin, or conclusion.
5. In which country would you find the region of Catalonia?

Answer: Spain

Catalonia is an autonomous region in northeastern Spain, consisting of the provinces of Barcelona, Gerona, Lérida, and Tarragona. It's bordered by the Mediterranean on the east and the Pyrenees on the north. One of the most successful areas of Spain, Catalonia was an early Roman province and was later made an independent domain by the Franks.

In 1137 it was united with the kingdom of Aragon and later was became part of the kingdom of Spain.
6. Which gland in your body secretes catecholamines?

Answer: adrenal glands

The hormones of the adrenal medulla, which sits atop your kidney, are called catecholamines. The adrenal medulla, composed of chromaffin cells, secretes the hormone epinephrine, also called adrenaline, in response to stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system at times of stress.

The medulla also secretes the hormone norepinephrine, which plays a role in maintaining normal blood circulation.
7. What cat word is a negatively charged electrode?

Answer: cathode

If you've watched television, you've seen cathode rays at work- they're in the picture tube. Cathode rays were first generated by means of the Crookes tube, an invention of the British physicist Sir William Crookes. In 1895, X-ray guy Wilhelm Roentgen accidentally discovered that cathode rays striking a metal target produce X-rays.

Besides televisions, cathode rays are also used in electron microscopes.
8. What cat word is the mountain range found in southern New York, US?

Answer: Catskills

The Catskills are part of the Appalachian Mountains, near the Hudson River in southeastern New York. Their highest peak is Slide Mountain, 1,281 m (4,204 ft) above sea level. The Catskills are known for their woods and many streams; in fact, artists of the Hudson River School were attracted to the area for its scenic beauty. The Catskills are also the home of some of Washington Irving's characters, such as Rip Van Winkle and Ichabod Crane.
9. Catherine of Valois was Queen Consort of England. Whose wife was she?

Answer: Henry V

Catherine of Valois (1401-1437) held a lot of titles: she was queen consort of England (1420-1422), wife of Henry V, king of England, and daughter of Charles VI, king of France. She married Henry in Troyes, France, in June 1420. In February 1421 she was crowned Queen at Westminster Abbey, and in December she had a son, who would become King Henry VI.

After the death of her husband in 1422, Catherine had four more children with the Welsh squire Owen Tudor. One of these sons, Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond, married Margaret Beaufort; their son became Henry VII, the first Tudor King.
10. Catullus was a famous Roman ....

Answer: poet

Gaius Valerius Catullus, or Catullus for short (c.84-54 BC), was a Roman poet, often considered one of the best writers of Latin lyric verse. He is perhaps best known for his "Lesbia poems", which express a love/hate relationship he had with a woman named Lesbia. This is notable because Roman poets of the time rarely if ever addressed their writings to specific individuals.
