Cats are similar in anatomy to the other felids, with a strong, flexible body, quick reflexes,

sharp retractable claws, and teeth adapted to killing small prey. Cat senses fit a crepuscular
and predatory ecological niche. Cats can hear sounds too faint or too high in frequency for
human ears, such as those made by mice and other small animals. They can see in near
darkness. Like most other mammals, cats have poorer color vision and a better sense of smell
than humans. Cats, despite being solitary hunters, are a social species and cat communication
includes the use of a variety of vocalizations (mewing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling,
and grunting), as well as cat pheromones and types of cat-specific body language.
Cats have a high breeding rate. Under controlled breeding, they can be bred and shown as
registered pedigree pets, a hobby known as cat fancy. Failure to control the breeding of pet
cats by neutering and the abandonment of former household pets has resulted in large
numbers of feral cats worldwide, requiring population control. This has contributed, along
with habitat destruction and other factors, to the extinction of many bird species.
Cats have been known to extirpate a bird species within specific regions and may have
contributed to the extinction of isolated island populations. Cats are thought to be primarily,
though not solely, responsible for the extinction of 33 species of birds, and the presence of
feral and free ranging cats makes some locations unsuitable for attempted species
reintroduction in otherwise suitable locations.

taste. They also have flexible bodies and sharp teeth that help them to catch their prey. Cats
also have an incredible night vision six times better than human.
There are several terms about the cats. A male cat is called a tom. A female is called a molly
or queen. The young cat is called kittens. Then, a group of cats is called a clowder.

atau Ratu. Kucing kecil disebut kittens. Kemudian, sekelompok kucing disebut clowder.
Ada banyak orang yang memelihara kucing di rumah mereka. Kucing telah menjadi anggota
keluarga yang dihargai dan dihormati di seluruh dunia.
Ears
Cats have 32 muscles that control the outer ear (compared to human's 6 muscles each).
Cats hearing is much more sensitive than humans' and dogs'. They can move their ears like
radar dishes and pinpoint the source, can rotate them independently 180 degrees, and can
turn in the direction of sound 10 times faster than those of the best watchdog.
Eyes
In relation to their body size, cats have the largest eyes of any mammal. Most cats do not
have eyelashes. They see about 6 times better than a human at night, and need 1/6 the
amount of light that a human does due to a layer of extra reflecting cells which absorb light.
Recent studies have shown that cats can see blue and green, but there is disagreement as

to whether they can see red. Protruding eyes give cats a wider angle of vision than we have.
They also have great peripheral vision. That is why their field of vision is about 185 degrees.
Both these adaptations are advantages to animals that are both predator and prey in the
wild.
Cats have a full inner-eyelid, or nictitating membrane. This inner-eyelid serves to help
protect the eyes from dryness and damage. When the cat is ill, the inner-eyelid will
frequently close partially, making it visible to the observer.
A cat cannot see directly under its nose. This is why the cat cannot seem to find titbits on the
floor.
The most common eye colors in cats are in the middle of the eye color spectrum (greenishyellow to gold). The colors at the ends of the eye color spectrum (deep green or brilliant
copper) are usually seen only in pedigreed cats that have been selectively bred for dramatic
eye color, but they may sometimes appear in non-pedigreed cats.
A large majority of white cats with blue eyes are deaf. White cats with only one blue eye are
deaf only in the ear closest to the blue eye.
Body
A cat has 250 bones in his body, compared to 206 in our bodies. Think about how much
bigger you are than your cat, and you'll understand why cats have a lot more places where
they can bend and twist than we do. Almost 10 percent of a cat's bones are in her tail, and
the tail is used to maintain balance. The domestic cat is the only species able to hold its tail
vertically while walking.
Cats use more than 500 muscles to leap, jump, and sprint. Their thighs power pouncing.
These muscles are so powerful that if you had them, your thighs would be as big as your
waist and you could jump from the ground to the top of a house!
Cats do not have a collarbone, so they can fit through any opening the size of their head.
Paws
Cats have five toes on each front paw, but only four toes on each back paw. They have true
fur, in that they have both an undercoat and an outer coat. Of all the parts of the body, the
cat's paws have the most sensitive touch receptors. They are exquisitely pressure-sensitive,
and some researchers believe they can even sense tiny vibrations.
Claws
Cat's claws are one of their most important features. They use the claws for climbing,
playing and of course also for hunting. These claws have a very important role in the felines
social behavior. A cat will hunt for birds and rodents, regardless of how well he/she is taken
care of and how much you feed him/her - it is a natural behavior and it is also programmed
into the cat's genes.

Nose
Cats have twice as many smell-sensitive cells in their noses as we do, which means they
can smell things we are not even aware of. In addition to using their noses, cats can smell
with the Jacobson's organ, which is located in the upper surface of the mouth.
Teeth
The cat's canine teeth (the long fangs) sit in beds of sensitive tissue. A cat adjusts her grip
on her prey until she feels a tiny depression in the neck, just behind the skull. The canine
teeth are designed to fit perfectly into this depression, so the cat can sever her preys spine
with one quick bite.
Coat
The gene in cats that causes the orange coat color is sexed linked, and is on the X sex
chromosome. This gene may display orange or black. Thus, as female cat with two X
chromosomes may have orange and black colors in their coat. A male, with only one X
chromosome, can have only orange or black, not both. If a male cat is both orange and
black, he is (besides being extremely rare) sterile.
In the Siamese cat, a lower temperature causes more dark coloration in the growing hairs.
This is why newborn kittens, warm from their mother's womb, are white all over. As they
grow up in normal temperatures, the hottest areas of their body, around the stomach and
back, remain pale in color, while their cooler extremities gradually become darker.
Breeds that developed in cold climates, like the Siberian, Maine Coon Cat, and Norwegian
Forest Cat, have slightly oily, water-repellent top coats and thick, insulating undercoats.
Other characteristics
Cats have AB blood groups just like people and can donate blood to other cats.
They can compress or elongate their spine, making them smaller to sleep in snuggly places
or longer to leap across wide-open spaces.
Their normal body temperature ranges between 100.5 and 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
A cat's heart beats about twice as fast as your heartabout 110 to 140 times a minute in the
average cat.
To purr, cats use extra tissue in the larynx (voice box). This tissue vibrates when they purr.
Cats lose almost as much fluid in the saliva while grooming themselves as they do through
urination.
Both humans and cats have identical regions in the brain responsible for emotion, and a
cat's brain is more similar to a man's brain than that of a dog's.

A cat will never sweat because it has no sweat glands.

Cats can have freckles. They can appear anywhere on a cat's skin and even in the mouth.
Cat urine glows under a black light. [Learn more ..]

Cat Physics

The Institute of Theoretical and Applied Feline Physics has identified the following immutable
laws of Physics which apply to Cats:
1. Law of Cat Inertia - A cat at rest will tend to remain at rest, unless acted upon by some
outside force, such as the opening of cat food, or a nearby scurrying mouse.
2. Law of Cat Motion - A cat will move in a straight line, unless there is a really good reason
to change direction.
3. Law of Cat Magnetism - All blue blazers and black sweaters attract cat hair in direct
proportion to the darkness of the fabric.
4. Law of Cat Thermodynamics - Heat flows from a warmer to a cooler body, except in the
case of a cat, all heat flows to the cat.
5. Law of Cat Stretching - A cat will stretch to a distance proportional to the length of the nap
just taken.
6. Law of Cat Sleeping - All cats must sleep with people whenever possible, in a position as
uncomfortable for the people involved as is possible for the cat.
7. Law of Cat Elongation - A cat can make her body long enough to reach just about any
counter top that has anything remotely interesting on it.
8. Law of Cat Acceleration - A cat will accelerate at a constant speed, until he gets better and
is ready to stop.
9. Law of Dinner Table Attendance - Cats must attend all meals when something good is
served.
10. Law of Rug Configuration - No rug may remain in its naturally flat state for very long.
11. Law of Obedience Resistance - A cat's resistance varies in inverse proportion to a
human's desire for her to do something.

12. First Law of Energy Conservation - Cats know that energy can neither be created nor
destroyed and will therefore use as little energy as possible.
13. Second Law of Energy Conservation - Cats also know that energy can only be stored by
a lot of napping.
14. Law of Refrigerator Observation - If a cat watches a refrigerator long enough, someone
will come along and take out something good to eat.
15. Law of Electric Blanket Attraction - Turn on an electric blanket and a cat will jump into
bed at the speed of light.
16. Law of Random Comfort Seeking - A cat will always seek, and usually take over, the
most comfortable spot in any given room.
17. Law of Bag / Box Occupancy - All bags and boxes in a given room must contain a cat
within the earliest possible nanosecond.
18. Law of Cat Embarrassment - A cat's irritation rises in direct proportion to her
embarrassment times the amount of human laughter.
19. Law of Milk Consumption - A cat will drink his weight in milk, squared, just to show you
he can.
20. Law of Furniture Replacement - A cat's desire to scratch furniture is directly proportional
to the cost of the furniture.
21. Law of Cat Landing - A cat will always land in the softest place possible.
22. Law of Fluid Displacement - A cat immersed in milk will displace her own volume, minus
the amount of milk consumed.
23. Law of Cat Disinterest - A cat's interest level will vary in inverse proportion to the amount
of effort a human spends in trying to interest him.
24. Law of Pill Rejection - Any pill given to a cat has the potential energy to reach escape
velocity.
25. Law of Cat Composition - A cat is composed of Matter + Anti-Matter + It Doesn't Matter.
26. Law of Selective Listening - Although a cat can hear a can of tuna being opened a mile
away, she can't hear a simple command three feet away.
27. Law of Equidistant Separation - All cats in a given room will locate at points equidistant
from each other, and equidistant from the center of the room.
28. Law of Cat Invisibility - Cats think that if they can't see you, then you can't see them.

29. Law of Space-Time Continuum - Given enough time, a cat will land in just about any
space.
30. Law of Concentration of Mass - A cat's mass increases in direct proportion to the comfort
of the lap she occupies.
31. Law of Cat Probability - It is not possible to predict where a cat actually is, only the
probability of where she "might" be.
32. Law of Cat Obedience - As yet undiscovered.
