The particularly loose skin at the back of the neck is known as the scruff, and is the area by which a mother cat grips her kittens to carry them. A cat's body temperature does not vary throughout the day; this is part of cats' general lack of circadian rhythms and may reflect their tendency to be active both during the day and at night.

The Masseter is a great, powerful, and very thick muscle covered by a tough, shining fascia lying ventral to the zygomatic arch, which is its origin. Cats naturally do not have a diet high in carbohydrates, and therefore, their saliva doesn't contain the enzyme amylase. Please consider expanding the lead to provide an accessible overview of all important aspects of the article. A cat's sense of smell and taste work closely together, having a vomeronasal organ that allows them to use their tongue as scent tasters, [3] while its longitudinal, transverse, and vertical intrinsic muscles aid in movement.In their normal, relaxed position, the claws are sheathed with the skin and fur around the toe pads.

The Caudofemoralis acts to flex the tail laterally to its respective side when the pelvic limb is bearing weight. The deltoid muscles lie just lateral to the trapezius muscles, originating from several fibers spanning the clavicle and scapula, converging to insert at the humerus. Cats' feces are comparatively dry and their urine is highly concentrated, both of which are adaptations to allow cats to retain as much water as possible. Adult cats walk with a "four-beat gait", meaning that each foot does not step on the same spot as any other.Their kidneys are so efficient, they can survive on a diet consisting only of meat, with no additional water. Its appearance is similar to a loose flap of skin that might occur if the cat had been overweight and had then lost weight. A domestic cat's normal heart rate ranges from 140 to 220 beats per minute (bpm), and is largely dependent on how excited the cat is. The curved claws can become entangled in carpet or thick fabric, which can cause injury if the cat is unable to free itself. Cats are able to tolerate quite high temperatures: Humans generally start to feel uncomfortable when their skin temperature passes about 38°C (100°F), but cats show no discomfort until their skin reaches around 52°C (126°F), [26] :46 and can tolerate temperatures of up to 56°C (133°F) if they have access to water.

The rhinarium (the leathery part of the nose we see) is quite tough, to allow it to absorb rather rough treatment sometimes.

Its origin is the neural spines of the cervical vertebrae and its insertion is in the metacromion process and fascia of the clavotrapezius. Cats possess rather loose skin, which allows them to turn and confront a predator or another cat in a fight, even when it has a grip on them. The pancreas doesn't produce starch processing enzymes because cats don't eat a diet high in carbohydrates. The mouth will have smaller incisors, slender and strongly curved upper canines, vertical lower canines, and even smaller upper and lower molars.
