was taking photos .. my camera died .. so i got my daughter's camera and took some pics with it after putting my lens on .. i didnt check the quality .. so straight out of the camera was 2544x1696pxls .. so it doesnt go great zoomed ..
but i just had to share this tongue .. !!! ..
cat ppl would know all about cats' tongues and how rough they are .. but i didnt realize how the tongue was constructed .. its like they have spikes on their tongues .. i thought they were just really rough .. not the actual brushes .. fascinating .. clever cats .. lol .. ;)
Interesting experiment. It reminds me of old-fashioned text books. I like the back and forth motion it sets up as I check out the comparison. The barbs on Molly's tongue are amazing. This approach seems fruitful.
Yes, the tongue is brush-like and that's how cats groom themselves. Also if a cat licks you it feels really weird, tends to give you goosebumps. lol
I like both images, this reminds me of a diagram in a medical book where there's a blow-up to emphasize detail. Cats are very independent and intelligent creatures. I'm glad to see you're exploring the world of felines.
This is an amazing image. I have to tell you, that because of this, my cat Bonzai is not speaking to me at the moment. I have been trying to check his tongue to see if he has tongue spikes too, and he apparently believes that I have been overly intrusive. He is extremely offended. I'm sure he will come around and I will just have to try to catch him grooming his fur to further my research.
I am so sorry about your camera. How frustrating!!
Wow. This is an amazing insight into a cats tongue. I knew they were rough but ouch. Next time one of our cats starts licking me I am going to be weirded out knowing they have a spike tongue.
