Ten-level jumping ability of kitten

Ten-level jumping ability of kittens: Cats have excellent jumping ability, and the jumping height is about 5-6 times of their height.

The reason for the cat's ten-level jumping ability: the cat's skeleton consists of more than 240 bones, about 40 more than people. And the number of muscles is huge, up to more than 500 muscles, about twice that of humans.

The cat's spine is flexible and can bend and stretch. At the same time, the cat's trunk and back muscles are strong, which makes the cat's body like a spring and can accumulate strength and strength when jumping. Compared with the slightly stiff trunks of people and dogs, this is a big advantage of jumping.

The cat's thigh bone is relatively short, which can bend forward and upward to a great extent, creating more space for exerting force, while the cat's metatarsal bone is relatively long, so the cat's whole sole can also exert force. Most importantly, the muscles of the whole hind legs and feet of cats are very strong (relative to canines).

Some cats can't jump: many kinds and beautiful ones can be called "high jumpers", Garfield is a "sleeper" and Muppets are "lady cats". Cats are too fat, cats have too much fat and too little muscle, so they can't jump and play. They don't like sports after a long time. The most common are diabetes and fatty liver.

Cat's life span

Under normal circumstances, the average life expectancy of cats is 15 years old. Due to the rapid development of pet medical care and individual differences of cats, the life span of a single cat can even reach 20 or 2 1 year.
