How Do Cats Get Through Narrow Places?

of cats liquid There is a lot of humor being made on social media about whether it is or not. So that someone actually came out and researched this, of cats Did you know that it puts out a research group to see if it’s liquid? This work, which received an Ig Nobel prize, was of course far from serious. In fact, the aforementioned award was given to absurd works, so to speak. However, let’s briefly mention that it results in “they can be solid or liquid depending on the situation”.

Rather than this study, we will take a look at this surprising feature of cats. Where does this flexibility come from? through tiny holes can they pass through their entire body?” We will provide answers to questions such as:

Humans have between 32 and 34 bones lined up in their spine. How many do you think this number is in cats?

52. Now “According to us tiny How can there be more bones in the spine of the remaining animal than in ours?‘ you might think. At this point, the same animal corresponds to our 206 bones. 230 bones Let’s say you have it in your body.

More importantly, between these extra bones in the spine elastic supportsthat gaping at the cats flexibility it gives.

In this way, although they cannot turn their heads 180 degrees like owls, they can do so in their bodies.

We have only reached this point…

• (Don’t take it personally and try to go beyond)

But it’s not the flexibility of their spines that makes cats alien in our eyes.

This is because of the shoulder structures. on our shoulders our collarbones and these are the other ones in our arms. to the bones is connected.

In cats, this part is not made of bones, muscles It connects with the rest of your body. So a bone structure in your shoulders not found.

• NOTE: For this very reason, it is recommended not to lift cats from the front. Otherwise, hard contact with this bone, fatal may cause injuries.

That’s why “I’ll pass as long as my head passesThey can live by the motto “

• We wanted to highlight this moment (1:28)

Thanks to this flexibility, they can take their steps to the widest level when they want to run.

Cats owe their quick reflexes to the advantages of this skeletal structure.

As a result, we can say that the spine and shoulder structures allow cats to pass through narrow places.
