Why do cats have such strong hunting ability? In fact, the answer lies in their bodies. Cats' small bodies have great energy.
The cat's teeth are very sharp, so that the cat can attack and defend. Their teeth can not only just hunt prey, but also defend themselves well. That’s why cats are very powerful.
There are two powerful spherical muscles between the cat's head and neck. These two muscles can provide very strong strength, support their jaws, and provide a huge biting force. In this way, cats can have strong explosive force and biting force even when biting prey larger than themselves.
Cats have very good vision, and their ability to sense light is better than people, so as long as there is a ray of light, cats can feel and see things. They can not only see things in the dark, but also have a wider visual range than us, which creates good conditions for cats to hunt.
The shape of a cat's ear determines that cats can hear more sounds. Their ability to collect sounds is stronger than ours. So even the slightest sound can be captured by the cat. In addition, the cat's nose is also very sensitive. Their noses can be used not only to distinguish good food from bad, but also to make up for taste defects. The smell of other prey cannot be ignored from the cat's keen sense of smell.
The cat's claws are flexible. They can be collected in their pads at ordinary times, which has two advantages. One is that it can be silent when cats are walking, so that the prey can be off guard. Second, it can protect the claws and keep them sharp, which can better to capture prey.
Cat is a good athlete. The highest height they can jump is about five times their length. And the cat's balance ability is also very strong, so that they can go up to a very high place without injury. This is inseparable from the structure of the cat's body, the shock absorption function of the pads and the good balance ability.
Sharp teeth, sharp vision, good hearing, strong balance and jumping ability, strong muscles. All these determine that cats are naturally excellent hunters.
