Do cats have knees?
I don't think cats have knees does anybody know? I am trying to settle a debate **smmoch*
|
They have all the same leg parts as humans: femur, tibia, patella, and fibula, so I suppose one could say yes, they have knees.
|
They have elbows!!
|
Yes. Cats (and dogs) have "knees" in their hind legs. Their front legs have "elbows".
|
Dearest Muffin,
According to "Gray's Anatomy" it will most happily excite you to know that the cat's skeleton (when of course angled so that puss-kitty is standing on her hind legs) most closely resembles that of the human of any animal. (Also, I know that bees do - ergo the phrase "the bee's knees.") Most excellent smooches to you! |
Do they also have armpits?
|
And if so, do their armpits require deodorant?
|
Uh, muffin, what are you going to do about your cat's multiple nipples? I mean when she travels, you will be sure to properly dress her, won't you?
|
Good point, seetheworld, kitty needs a proper bra. I am told that you can make a very stylish bra for multiple-nippled creatures using bubble-wrap.
|
:D PM, what a perrrrrfect solution!
|
oh sweet muffin...where have you been?
**smooch** |
I have a picture that I got from somewhere on the Internet. It has two cats lying on their backs on doll size lawn chairs. They each have on a teensy little bikini and four teensy weensy bras. It's hilarious!! I can't figure out how to copy it to get it here.
Shucks!! |
|
That's just adorable!
|
smooch!

Not only do cats have armpits but they are ticklish!
|
Dear muffin, cats do have knees. Cats belong to a group of animals that walk on their toes and are called digitigrades. We're plantigrades. What seem like backward knees on a cat are really the heels. The knees are further up the leg. Here's a nice photo: http://www.uoguelph.ca/~mammals/CatSkeleton.jpg
Look for the part labeled "patella;" it's the knee. The part labeled "tarsus" is really a group of bones that form the heel. Cheers! |
Muffy, my dear, so good to hear from you once more! We were collectively saddened by your absence.
A few opined that you had taken a sabbatical from Fodor's after eye surgery to repair damage caused by scouring bathrooms. Others feared you had been viciously attacked by lizards -or- perhaps you had suffered a freak accident from static electricity buildup between your shower robe and your leather travel pants! You know how much we care for you; please do not leave us again... By the way, I much preferred your famous signoff with a **smooch**. You have no idea how abrasive a **smmoch** reads! |
How come I cannot post ot the Muff?
|
I will try again..Claws beat skin!!!
