Learn about Cat Health and Cat care of the Sensory Cat
Organs.
Cats have a dry skin just like humans. The fur on their
body protects them from exposure to elements such as dirt. For pet cats that
have dry skin, it is advisable to use moisturizing or soap-free products. Cats
normally develop skin problems such as Seborrhea. The best way to treat this disorder
is to use medicated shampoo.
Sensory Organs:
Cats have the great qualities. They are better than human
beings in seeing things and hearing sounds around them. They smell and feel the
nature very well. Due to these abilities, cats were often mistaken to possess
black magic. The current era does not suspect cats of having an influence over
the supernatural powers. It is necessary to know cats’ sense, which may help in
understanding their behavior much better.
1. Sight: Cats have a good night vision. Where
there is no enough light, cats see much better than humans. However, they are
not able see in complete darkness. This ability comes at the cost of daytime
vision, which is beneficial for nocturnal predators. Actually, cats fail to see
distant objects at daytime. People know little about the colors that cats see
visibly. Science says that, they can identify some of the colors than humans
do. With their eyes, cats detect faster movement of things in their
surroundings. On the other hand, it is hard for them to pay attention on slow
moving objects.
2. Sound: Cats have very sharp ears. Even when
fast asleep, cats trace the noisy sounds of small rodents. Their ability to
hear sounds is three times as high as that of human beings. Cats move their
large ears sideways to capture the sound more accurately. For this, they first
locate the place from where the sound actually comes. While chasing the target,
they sometimes pause to listen and determine the location of their prey.
3. Smell: Cats largely depend on their sense of
smell. They always sniff their food before eating. Smelling things is the
essential part of feline communication. There is a mechanism at the top of
their mouth, which makes possible for them to analyze smell. With the help of
this mechanism, cats twist their lips, open their mouth, and express disgust
over certain things.
4. Taste: Cats use this sense to decide the
foods good for them. They are truly carnivores. As such, their sense of taste
best lies in recognizing fat and protein. Unlike dogs, cats prefer to stay away
from sweets. In addition, cats do not respond well to the taste of salt.
Experts suggest the reason behind this as, cats get enough salt from the meat
food.
5. Touch: Cats have touch receptors all over
their body. These receptors are nerve cells that transfer sensations of pain,
pressure and temperature from any point to the brain. The nerve cells are
concentrated mainly on their front paws and face. The hair, covering body of
cats , help them to stay alert even on the slightest touch of air passing by.
