Cats often purr among relatives: for example, when the cat meets her kittens. Until recently put forward various theories about how cats purr: the beating of the blood of the aorta, the vibration bands for inspiration and expiration, or fluctuations in the lungs themselves. Today it is believed that purring - the result of rhythmic oscillations in the cat's larynx. Cats can meow and purr at the same time, however, it is typical for talkative individuals.

Scratches from claws are easily infected and in extreme cases can lead to so-called cat-scratch disease (benign limforetikulez). For this reason, only that inflicted on the body of cat scratch immediately in need of disinfection.  Cats may also issue jerky "chirping" sound when observing prey, or for expressions of interest for something when dealing with people. Sometimes this sound is converted to an unattainable production, and it is unknown whether it is a sound threat and an expression of frustration or attempts to imitate bird song. But such sounds are typical rather for a second feral cats that live in colonies. These sounds are emitted, for example, Kuril Bobtail and Anatolian cats for what they called "tweeting."  The tail is also an important means of expression in the cat: calm wrapped around the body or tail held high means peaceful mood.

First of all, the developed teeth can chew food, long and agile feline tongue is equipped with special knobs on the sides that allow you to separate the meat from the skeleton of the victim. Also, these bumps produce keratin and help when washing a cat. By the way, the lower jaw cat can move only up and down and can not make lateral movements. Therefore, in cats and no chewing teeth. Cat stomach acts as a digestive, and cat must be regularly cleaned of its indigestible food particles: bones, tendons, and his own hair that has fallen into the stomach.
