You've heard the phrase "You learn something new everyday". Sometimes it's a cute little tidbit, sometimes it's something life changing and somethings can be put in the catagory of "too much information". I am afraid what I am about to share with you is going to fit into the last catagory. Today I learned how a cat drinks water and for some reason I found it very interesting. I have never studied how my not-so-petite Ragdoll cat drinks. She is not the most graceful thing to roam the earth and she always sounds like she's drowning when lapping water, but I had noticed that she always laps in a pattern of 3. Lick, lick, lick... lick, lick, lick... lick, lick, lick. Today I learned that when a cat drinks, they don't scoop their water like a dogs does (which seems the most logical way to do it, but who am I to argue with a cat), instead, they bend their tongue backwards so the tip is pointed towards their chin, pulling the liquid into their mouth. The reason for the pattern of three is that a cat will only swallow after several laps have accumulated enough liquid in the mouth. There you go...you now have more information than you ever wanted about a cat's tongue.  |
