Cats have 240 bones, 34 more than human beings, and also the thickness of the discs between the vertebrae is greater, which allows them to be one of the most agile animals in the world. But, as if this weren't enough, they are able to jump a distance equal to between 5 and 6 times their body length.
They are expert tightrope walkers
They can walk through very, very narrow areas, without feeling any fear. Thanks to their inner ear, which is filled with fluid, and the information that the brain receives through the hairs that cover this part of the body and sight, they can have everything under control.
They look pretty good in low-light areas
The need to hunt at night has made them perfect their night vision. They are not able to see in total darkness, but they do have the ability to see 6 to 8 times better than people in semi-dark situations. Also, their field of view is 200 degrees (ours is 180), and their peripheral vision is 30 degrees on each side (that of 20 people).
They have built-in sensors
Whiskers are whiskers that detect the slightest movement that originates near the cats. Likewise, they can know how far away it is, something that comes handy when they are hunting, be it an animal or a toy. But there is still more.
If we measure their whiskers, from the tip of those on their right side to the tip of those on their left side, we will discover that they measure more or less the same as the width of their body. What is this for? Very simple: to know if they fit or not in narrow areas.
The tongue is rough
For many reasons: it serves as a brush and also, to be able to feed of the remains of meat that may have left.
