How Cats Drink Without Touching Water: Revealing a Cat Secret
Cats can rightfully be called one of the most mysterious living creatures inhabiting our planet.
Despite the fact that people spend a lot of time every day in the company of members of the feline family, some features of their behavior still remain “secret”.
For example, did you know that cats can drink without touching the liquid with their tongue?
You might think that cats fold their tongue into a spoon shape and scoop up water (milk, etc.) with it.
But no – dogs do this, but Murkas and Vaskas use a special technique that allows them to catch drops of liquid in the air.
The cat lightly touches the surface of the water with its tongue and then quickly removes it, causing the water to fly after the tongue.
By the way, the pet does not always manage to catch the drops - sometimes they bounce off, hitting the muzzle. That is why the floor around the cat's bowl may be wet after the kitten has gone to the "watering hole".
By the way, this same feature of cats can explain their passion for drinking water not from a bowl, but straight from the tap.
