What are the characteristics and habits of cats?

? Features:

A cat's body is divided into five parts: head, neck, trunk, limbs and tail. Most parts have fur, and a few are hairless cats. Cats have fat pads at the bottom of their toes, so they walk quietly and don't run away when catching mice. They have pointed nails at their toes. Paws can be retracted and extended. Cats retract their claws when resting and walking, and only extend their claws when catching mice and climbing to prevent their nails from becoming dull.

A cat has five fingers in its forelimbs and four fingers in its hind limbs. Cats' teeth are divided into incisors, canines and molars. Dog teeth are particularly developed, with sharp cones, which are suitable for killing caught mice. The chewing surface of molar teeth has sharp protrusions, which are suitable for chewing meat. Underdeveloped front teeth.

Living habits:

1, snooze

As for the sleep state, cats sleep for 14 ~ 15 hours a day, and some cats have to sleep for more than 20 hours, so cats are called "lazy cats". However, if you carefully observe the way cats sleep, you will find that as long as there is a little noise, cats' ears will move, and if someone comes near, cats will suddenly wake up.

Step 2 be willful

The cat seems a little headstrong and bent on her own way. Originally, cats are animals that like to act alone, unlike dogs, which obey their owners' orders and act in groups. Therefore, it does not regard its master as a monarch, but does what it says. Sometimes, whatever you call it, it will ignore it. Cats and their owners are not master-slave relationships, so it is better to treat them as equal friends. It is this relationship that makes it unique.

Step 3 clean

Cats often clean their hair. Kittens love to lick their bodies and clean themselves in many cases. After dinner, the cat will wipe its beard with its front paws and lick its fur with its tongue after being hugged. This is the instinct of cats to get rid of their own smells in order to avoid being tracked by predators. There are many rough protrusions on the cat's tongue, which is the most suitable tool to remove dirt.
