How cats drink milk without wetting their chins

by David Catchpoole

Researchers have discovered the precise physical mechanism that enables cats to lap up liquids.1,2 It had earlier been thought that they curled their tongue backwards to make a J-shaped curve, and thus ‘ladle’ the fluid into their mouths. But this latest study shows a cat’s tongue actually performs the equivalent of complex mathematical equations to keep two opposing forces in perfect equilibrium.

How much did this cost the taxpayers? What use will it be for the taxpayers?

[Silentgypsy]

That’s pretty much what I’ve observed. Maybe we have glitchy cats?

[Slings and Arrows]

That’s what we get for not filling out the warranty cards.

Why not? :)

THAT is funny.

I want that feline. You have to appreciate crazy in a cat.

I praise God for His marvelous design, but I still don’t like cats.

The loss is yours. A properly socialized cat is a wonderful companion, and as Delenn said, keeps us from growing too great of an ego.

Poor little kitteh.

I feel sorry for him. He’s frantic because he is starving.

[Daffynition]

Dumbdumb owner. If you try to wean a kitt, just sit on the floor with a flat bottom container and dab a finger-dip of milk on his face/mouth....they catch on in no time.

Aww, Ceiling Cat, the baby years!
