Answer 1

Cat anatomy facts:

- The cat comes closer than does any other animal except the owl and the ape to having binocular vision similar to that of humans.

- The lower jaw is attached to the upper one by means of a simple hinge. This arrangement permits only up-and-down motion. A cat cannot move its lower jaw sideways, nor can it grind its teeth.

- The sharp angles of the knee and "heel" of the hind legs also contribute to the power for sudden sprints, for climbing, and for jumping.

- The cat has fewer side teeth (premolars and molars) than do most other mammals. In most mammals the side teeth are used for grinding food. The cat uses these teeth only for cutting.

Cats clavicle (our collar bone ) is not attached to anything the bone just floats in the muscle. It isn't attached so when they jump and land their shoulders can obsorb the impact and not break any bones!

Answer 4

The cat's collarbone is small so that the cat can squeeze into narrow spaces if he or she wants to..and the cat uses its whiskers to determine if the opening is big enough to fit into.
