Fel d 1 is a secretoglobin protein complex that, in cats, is encoded by the CH1 (chain 1/Fel d 1-A) and CH2 (chain 2/Fel d 1-B) genes. [2] [3] Among cats, Fel d 1 is produced largely in their saliva and by the sebaceous glands located in their skin. It is the primary allergen present on cats and kittens.

A cat's body temperature does not vary throughout the day; this is part of cats' general lack of circadian rhythms and may reflect their tendency to be active ...
In tigers, it has been found that low-pitched vocalizations, such as prusten, originate from vibrations of thick vocal folds in the larynx of the cat. [4] Sound production is facilitated by the low threshold pressure required to oscillate the vocal folds, and low glottal resistance. [4]

[1] These pheromones are produced and detected specifically by the body systems of cats and evoke certain behavioural responses. [1] [2] Cat pheromones are commonly released through the action of scent rubbing. [2]
