Cats Curling Tongues

Midnight and Liddy

Tabitha alias Tabby-Tab

Cats are amazingly flexible and advanced creatures. I'm astounded at how they can stretch around to preen and clean their hindquarters. They can jump onto a table which is 8-10 times taller than they are without needing a running start. Their night vision is better than mine in my youth. And they have something like 200-some smell sensors as opposed to 50-some in humans (do I remember the ratio there correctly?) Until I got into caring for our abandoned and feral colony, I never appreciated the amazing skills and features of our feline friends.

Above are three photos which I find fascinating - not sure why. But the ability to curl their tongues as far out as they do is just one more amazing thing they do.



Thanks for reading this post - please comment. Check out my past posts where I have shared allot of my experiences and what I have learned from managing this homeless colony. Please let your friends know about my blog. http://homelesscatcare.blogspot.com/

I don't always post frequently due to a heavy work schedule. However, please sign up as a follower of my blog since I love getting diverse viewpoints as comments.


I would be extremely grateful if you feel inclined to donate to the management of this feral/abandoned colony, using the PayPal button on the sidebar.

Great shots - I am not usually fast enough to catch the tongues out!

I find the pictures fascinating, too. Cats are amazingly flexible and have such balance. When Herman cleans his back quarters, he balances on his backside with both back legs up in the air.
