Who has not ever stopped to watch his furry as he walks, jumps or runs? The anatomy of the cat is simply magnificent: this has allowed him (and allows him) to be the most successful feline.
However What is it made of?That is, what are those physical characteristics that make the cat, today, one of the animals most loved by humans?
Before starting…
... let me tell you or remind you of something. The cat is a predatory animal, which hunts at dusk and dawn. Therefore, it is also carnivorous, and also mandatory since your body needs protein of animal (and non-vegetable) origin in order to function properly.
Although humans can change their routine, keeping it active at times during the day so that it sleeps at night, the reality is that genetics and instinct are what they are, and this is something that it shares with lions, tigers, and ultimately, with all felines.
What is the cat's anatomy like?
Having said this, it will be easier for us to understand what your anatomy is like:
Head
His neck is very flexible, which is essential to be a good predator. It allows your head to turn to both sides (right, left).
Eyes
Your eyes are right in front of you, so you have a wide field of vision; And that's not to mention that it is capable of seeing in low light conditions. It is very easy for him to calculate how far away his prey is, due to the position and size of his eyeballs.
Teeth
They are those of a carnivorous hunter. It has fangs with which it kills its prey, incisors with which it holds it, and molars to tear the flesh.
Ears
They are much more developed than those of humans: While it would be impossible for us to hear the sound of a rodent from seven meters away, he can do it without problems. Of course: like ours, they help you maintain balance.
Back
It is quite flexible if we compare it with ours. It is made up of bones that are larger than the rest in the middle area, since it can thus support the weight of the torso. The muscles are strong.
Pins
They are long, muscular and agile. The cat walks on its toes, like ballet dancers. It has retractable claws.
- Rear: they only move backwards and forwards.
- Forwards- They move backwards, forwards and can turn a little towards the center of the body, so that, for example, the cat can wash its face.
