Anatomy of the Cat

 

As far as I am concerned, felines are the greatest creatures on earth. Cats have so many differing abilities, skills and senses that I don't feel able to do them justice here.

A cat, during the day, can be a purring pet who affectionately sits on your lap, whilst at night it becomes a very efficient "killing machine," with the ability to run at speed, climb, jump, fall (landing on its feet). It can even optimize light, thus "seeing in the dark". It has a greater sense of hearing than a canine and has a sense of smell thirty times greater than our own. Cats also know when earthquakes and severe storms are about to occur.
