Written by two experienced veterinarians, Anatomy of the Cat covers all of the bones of the cat, the muscles of the feline and the central systems viable to their health. Anatomy of the Cat offers many interesting facts about feline physiology. The cat's senses are finely tuned for its natural instinct to hunt. Cats have specialized teeth for killing prey and tearing meat. Its tongue also works to tear meat as it has sharp spines that allow the animal to separate meat from bones. The cat's ears each have 32 muscles, allowing the animal to move each ear independently from the other. Because of this mobility, cats are able to adjust their ears to the direction of certain sounds without moving their bodies, making them quicker to sense danger or nearby prey.

Excerpt from The Universe and Life Possibly it will turn out that, in the opinion of some of you, what this particular specimen shows is merely how unsatisfactory and objectionable is the outlook to which one comes - at least to which one person has come - through the study of biology. But I must re mind you that, even so, the specimen will have served its purpose; and this is a great comfort to the lecturer. He will at least have shown to what sort of errors the study of biology may lead. I must beg of you to keep in mind at all times my function as a specimen; it cov ers a multitude of sins.
