7 HABILIDADES ÚNICAS de los GATOS 🐱 ¡Descúbrelas!

If you live with a feline, you'll be well aware that they have admirable abilities that can surprise us on a daily basis. That's why in this animal expert video, we'll explain seven unique abilities that cats have. Stay tuned to learn about them all. First, flexibility Cats have great flexibility thanks to their bone structure. A healthy adult cat has about 244 bones, almost 40 more bones than the human skeleton. In addition, the discs between their vertebrae are thicker than ours. This combination allows cats to have abilities such as getting into tight spaces, performing aerial acrobatics, and jumping distances that exceed five or six times the length of their own body. Second, excellent balance. Kittens can walk calmly on the edges of very thin or unstable surfaces. They do so without losing their balance or even losing the elegance of their gait. This is possible thanks to the small canals in their inner ears that are filled with fluid and covered with tiny hairs. This structure, together with their vision and physical resistance, allows them to have excellent balance and great mobility. 3. Silent and stealthy Movement Felines can move stealthily like a perfectly trained ninja. The pads that cover and protect their front and back paws, combined with their retractable nails, allow them to walk and run silently. These are adaptive capacities developed during the evolution of their species. The purpose of this ability is to be able to approach their prey and prepare to reach it without being perceived. 4. Excellent night vision Cats have privileged night vision since they evolved to be able to hunt at night. Their eye structure is different from ours and is prepared to see better under dimmer lights. On the other hand, their vision during the day is not as good. When the cells in their eyes are exposed to intense light, they cannot transmit detailed information to the brain. For this reason, for cats, images are blurrier during the day and very clear at night. Find out more about cat vision in the video included in the card. 5. Multipurpose tongue cats tongues have a much rougher texture than dogs or ours. This is because their taste buds have a different structure. They are conical papillae that are made up of a layer of spiny tissue. For this reason, when a cat lyxus, it reminds us of the touch of sandpaper. Thanks to this structure, felines use their tongues like a small brush, sweeping away impurities and tiny particles from their skin and fur. This way, they manage to stay clean without losing the layer of fat that protects their body. In addition, the PH of their saliva also helps keep their body clean and disinfected. Even so, don't forget that your feline also needs to be vaccinated, dewormed and brushed periodically. 6. A cardboard box the Perfect toy A cat can have fun for hours on end with this simple item, playing hide and seek or simply feeling safe in its new hideaway. Humans also have this amazing ability that felines have during their childhood. However, we tend to lose it as we grow up, so take the opportunity to bring back the child in you and have some fun with your kitty. Discover six reasons why your cat loves boxes in the video above. 7. Privileged hearing and Smell Cats have a much higher number of olfactory cells than humans. In addition, they use their whiskers, eyelashes and the hairs under their chin as motion sensors. Thanks to this, they are able to quickly detect prey, females in heat, poisonous or decaying food, territories of other felines, and possible predators. Regarding their hearing ability, cats can hear a wide range of frequencies, even very high pitched sounds. They are capable of hearing ultrasounds of up to 50,000 hertz, while humans can only hear around 20,000. In addition, cats can move their ears to more easily detect where sounds are coming from. And like their whiskers, the hairs located on their auricles vibrate when they detect movements or soft noises. All this allows them to quickly perceive the presence of prey or a possible threat.
